I love Penzey's Spices. I used to frequent the location they had in Tempe Marketplace, but they no longer have that storefront. So when I run low on my favorite spices I have to trek to this location. They have such an incredible selection of spices. I like their spice blends, many of which are salt-free so that you can control your sodium intake. And if you need salt, they probably have ten different varieties of that (pepper too!). I'm particularly enamored with their Krakow Nights (Polish spice blends) and their 33rd & Galena Chicken and Pork Rub. I like their spice blends fact that you can buy their spices in small jars or larger jars, and I recently discovered their little sampler packs, if you just want to experiment with new tastes. Of note is also their Arizona Dreaming salt free spice blends fact that is perfect for seasoning chicken fajita strips. I have quite an extensive array of Penzey's in my spice cabinet, to the point that it appears to be an obsession. But I can't tell you how many people I have introduced to Penzey's Spices. The Arizona Dreaming blend is my favorite one to give as hostess gifts or stocking stuffers. Now my friends all understand my addiction... and maybe even share it! read more

My sister had purchased me a small container of this chile powder and we loved it so much. It's the right heat level to bring a tear to my eye and husband is happy with it lol. I blew thru the small jar in about a week because we use ALOT of chili powder so here we are. They are conveniently located right near the intersection of Tatum and Shea. A few doors down from the PetSmart. Staff were very friendly and we found what we needed very quickly. If you like it spicy, give it a shot! read more

Penzey's Spices - Store front - Herbs & Spices Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The best spice options and even a place for the kids to hang out while you shop. They have tons of boxes that are great for gifts too!

When I order something, I don't want your political view on things. I don't care. When you say the ongoing Republican effort is outrageous, regarding January 6th, understand those people were planted by the democrats & regardless of your view, nobody wants to hear it. The "outrage of love" product was alright, but all in all pretty disappointed.. read more

As always, Penney's has even the weird spices that you can't find anywhere else. Today's haul included their awesome fox point seasoning and I even got free turmeric and a sample of their new pepper. I will continue to drive 40 minutes from my house to shop here because they are amazing and their staff is so nice. read more

Love, love, love, love times a million Penzey. I am not a cooker nor a baker but I sure do love to eat. I don't really need to replenish all the boxed gifts or teacher gifts I have received over the years but I want to support their mission. Their spices and mission statement are amazing. All of the Spices are delish and many are unique. I have never been inside this location even though it is the original one in AZ. Last time I was here it was during the Covid times when they left my purchase at the curb. Before then I was at their Tempe location which does not exist anymore. So after realizing the shipping online was more than the few items I wanted I decided to go on an adventure on the other side of town, Ha! The store is, Uber Cute," especially the vintage set up kitchen scene for their varied cinnamon and cocoa sets. So darling!!!!!!!!! Can they please come and redo my kitchen please? Haha. The staff is beyond wonderful and the place just smells heavenly. So the good news is, or maybe it is the bad news I bought a pepper grinder so the bill was a tad more than I was planning on spending. I needed one anyway. I realized I had a whole jar of whole peppercorns just sitting in the cabinet waiting tor be ground and sprinkled around. I purchased Rosemary and Thyme (Okay, everyone break out in a Simon and Garfunkle song), Sandwich Sprinkle, and a few other of those small taste packets. Great idea for those of us who don't cook as often. I have many other spices from them I have received over the years. I love, "Murals of the World," "Justice," etc. Their cinnamon collection is pretty spot on. Just tried sandwich sprinkle on my sandwich and it is yummy too. Thank you Penzey for all you do! Rock it! read more

I've always been a huge fan of this Penzey's & was thrilled when I saw one here in PHX/Scottsdale. So many fabulous herbs & spices. All reasonably priced & all exceptional quality. I was sad to see it was closed for in-door shopping (thanks COVID) but thrilled I could place an order for pick up. Allison was exceptionally gracious today & accommodated my on-sight order since I had no idea about this closure. This customer service is one of a million reasons while I will continue to shop here. read more

Penzey's Spices - a storefront window - Herbs & Spices Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Penzey's used to be our go-to spice shop but unfortunately we have found that some of our most recent purchases seemed to have been on the shelves for a while. They didn't have the flavor of newly packed spice. It would be nice if they printed a "packed on" date on each bottle. I say this because Pensey's isn't inexpensive. If I'm paying a premium for their spices, I'd like more assurance that they are fresher than supermarket brands. read more

Been a fan of Penzey's for a long time. My 2 favorites that are on repeat purchasing are Arizona Dreaming and Vanilla Sugar. That Vanilla Sugar is great when you just give a little sprinkle to some berries! Arizona Dreaming is great on well everything! Had to start purchasing the bigger bottle or go more often. You could get lost in that place just looking at everything they have. So many varieties to choose from! *Covid procedures: They are not open to customers at the time. You order online, pay, and then wait for a phone call to set a time for you to pick up your items. Right before that set time they place your purchase in a chest outside the store. You just reach in and take. Not sure how they know you were the one to order and not just someone taking a peak and taking, but it has worked for us. read more

Amazing selection of wonderful spices, there is always some sort of freebie giveaway if you are the mailing list. The staff are some of the kindest and warmest retail workers you will ever meet. read more

They literally have everything you could want spice wise and everyone who works there is just wonderful,!

An incredible spot - great prices, spices, and love the company! I would highly recommend to anyone - the Greek is my favorite!

I completely over shopped during the recent 50% off sale, but I took my little great grandson and told him he could choose one spice for himself and one for his mom so his mom got chicken taco spice and he got hot chocolate! I love Trinidad French for spice and many other spices. Now I guess I'll have to start cooking again. read more

Love this store, devoted to quality spices. The staff is friendly, the assortment of spices is remarkable, store layout is easy to navigate to find just what you need and also tempting to try new spices and delicious blends. Email coupons are often available. read more

Penzey's Spices - Spice Drawer - Herbs & Spices Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Dirty facility. I saw cockroaches all around the store! Yuck!! I told the employee and they did nothing about it. Will never return.

Worth the trip If you like to cook spices are very important, I've recently learned that old spices can lead to digestion upset. It prompted our visit. Because of Covid your unable to smell actual product but their info cards are very well written. FYI they are tucked into a corner so keep driving it's by the hallmark. Don't miss their taco seasoning mix. We love both original and the bold. Their pico & salsa herbs are superb The different kinds of paprika are a flavour education all by themselves so is the cinnamon collection. I bought small jars of Arizona Dreaming and mural of flavour we've liked them both. I'm planning on buying small packets of a couple of blends that are interesting & nice not making an investment in a blend you might not like. read more

Unfortunately, my opinion of this establishment had plummeted. I used to love to browse and sample the products, and they actually are great products. But now this business is extremely politically motivated. The emails are extremely hate filed tyrants to sell their products based on political views. This is not very professional. With this type of extremism I don't think I could trust the products any longer. read more

I feel there is such serious price gouging here, a store for elitist to blow their money on. Walked out and couldn't afford to pay their prices. read more

I love absolutely everything about Penzey's spices. My family's cupboards are jam packed with them. Best I've found.

I usually order online rather than taking a 30 minute drive across the Valley. I was so excited when we pulled up to the store. Walking into the store took it up ten notches!!! The smells came from every direction. I sniffed just about all the spices. I love that they have samples available for each option. There was an amazing sale I couldn't pass up. Kind boxes with 3 seasonings and a Kind pin were 2/$20.20 ($23.70 savings). Another promotion was spend $5 and get 2 free 1/4 Oz seasonings (up to $12 savings). All that's pictured here was $37.21! Not pictured is a 3rd Kind pin that given to all customers. If you don't sign up for their emails, consider it. Even if you don't order, they're pretty good to read. The owner/writer is very centered on the good of the world and passionate about justice for all. read more

I have tried to order curbside pick up and no call backs. Then I search my emails for a coupon only to find out this company is a sociopolitical company who has gone bonkers. I emailed the owner, and I'm subscribed emails. Super disappointed in Penzeys and sad it took me years to figure this out. read more

From time to time I need spices the grocery store doesn't carry. In fact, I recently bought some basics from Penzeys. I do enjoy their spices but they are not my favorite place a close second. I find they tend to be a little more expensive than their competition, which for some spices is ok and others you know it's just not worth it. They do have some unique offerings and certain ones are better than the competition. I find Penzey's does really well on the exotic single spices, but I'm not their biggest fan on the blends. For example, their air-dried shallots are one of my favorites along with their tarragon. If you sign up for their newsletter, they often run deals or freebies for special occasions, so that's always a plus. I find getting to the Penzey's store puts my out of my way, so sometimes I end up missing some of the better deals unfortunately. read more

Penzey's Spices - Some solid spices for cooking. - Herbs & Spices Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Great variety of spices, easy to shop, love visiting to freshen up/ restock my pantry.

Penzey's has closed all their other locations and left this one open because of its location in an area with lots of money. While their spices are very good, I will no longer support them because of this. If I cannot try the spices I will not buy them. They claim you can buy them online, but unless you have a large order, you pay for shipping, which is often a lot more than the tax, which, is still required because they have a store in the state. Bill Penzey has become involved in politics now and seems to be more interested in it than keeping his customers. I am now looking for another spice purveyor much closer to the general Phoenix area. read more

First off....I've fallen in love with the spices and dearly love to cook for family, friends, neighbors and anyone sick,suffering or simply in need. That being said, I felt an immediate connection albeit completely one sided - after all, cooking is healing! Today's email spewing the owner's hatred toward Republicans finally broke my heart.... I cannot continue to support their product. As a conservative moderate, I support everyone's right to their political beliefs. That's what makes America great. I come to your store to buy spices - I don't come in to be preached to about politics. "Penzey's buys products from all over the world and has many, many tax breaks and benefits brought to you by both Republican and Democrat leaders. If you are against the Republican leaders and everything they stand for then don't use the benefits they've given you as an international business. My suggestion is you send the vast amount of profit you make from the public and turn it over to a cause that is supported by the Democratic party. You decided to send me an email filled with hatred and venom. I've decided to discontinue buying product from you. I've also unsubscribed from your email. I may be only one person in a country of millions but just like my one vote - one person does count." Thank you, Craig B. for the last paragraph....couldn't have said it better! read more

I try to support my local businesses, especially during COVID. I've been a Penzey's customer for many years, so while out on errands I stopped to refresh my supplies. I learned no customers are allowed in the store (even though I can go to restaurants, grocery stores, get my hair cut, etc.) - you have to pick up your order outside. So I called from my car in the parking lot to see if they could fill my order (which was very simple and would take literally 2 minutes). They told me I had to go home and order online. When I said I was already there and asked what they could do, they said, "Sorry, we're too busy." Ok. Send me away and ask me to make an online order and drive back (8 miles each way)? Hello, Amazon... read more

You would think that a company that is so focused on love and kindness they would have nicer employees. I've been getting my spices at Penzeys for over 5 years because of the quality but I'm going to go ahead and look elsewhere. The people at the Tempe marketplace location were so much friendlier, but they closed that location. It's not like I'm in here all the time. But every time I have to do business with this location I walk away feeling disheartened by the quality of service. Is it that stressful selling spice that you have to be that rude to people, and for no reason? Since spices are important to cooking, and I love cooking for my family, I don't want to look into my spice drawer everyday and be reminded how obviously miserable the employees are that sell the stuff. So, I guess I'll have to find another place to go where the employees match the company's advertised beliefs. "Love people, cook them tasty food" indeed. No love found at this store! read more

Love buying my spices from here ! Such a cool place ! If you like to cook you'll love this spice store !!

Got a popcorn gift box for a friend, when they opened it enclosed was a political card that said "when you vote for a crook you get indicted". All I wanted to do was just give a gift instead it made me look bad. Why can't I just buy a gift without the politics. read more

Penzey's has been my go-to Shop for spices for 15 years. Based in Milwaukee, Penzey's has nearly every spice (plus 27 more) you could think of. I always feel comfortable shopping at Penzey's. They play comforting music, the cashiers are knowledgeable and are qualified to offer suggestions. The prices at Penzey's are more than a grocery store but the freshness is way better. They allow the customers to open a jar and really smell the ingredients, since they keep sample jars of each spice. Stop by Penzey's and give them your business. read more

Great spices and customer service. True top quality and freshness. This store was very clean and well organized.

Great store and great products. I usually use the delivery option when they have specials on minimum delivery value. But going to the store is so much more fun! read more

When we visited this shop, we hoped for help in choosing rubs as a gift for our son. The salesperson ignored us, preferring, instead, to play with her phone. I requested her help. She waved us towards the rubs, without moving an inch, and went back to her phone. Finally, I expressed my displeasure, expecting, at the very least, help or an apology. Instead, she shrugged her shoulders. We'd said hello and smiled when we entered. Got neither a hello or a goodbye read more

I have been using Penzey's Spices for years and I love how fresh they are! The store employees are always super friendly and the specials they offer are awesome too. They have their own special mixes that you can't get anywhere else & my family is a huge fan of their Mural of Flavor especially. We use Mural of Flavor on vegetables, popcorn, eggs, pasta and the list goes on, and it's sodium free! I am so glad to have a store so close! read more

I've been buying spices here for several years because the flavor really can't be beat. However, two trips to this store this week (which is 37 miles away from my home) and the older gentleman working as cashier has one the most negative demeanors I've seen in retail. He is completely unhelpful. Not interested in making this experience exciting whatsoever. Felt like he was just keeping guard rather than connecting with customers. Today he had the audacity to tell me I've "never" bought a particular spice in a bag when in fact I have the bag at home. He could have kindly explained the change in packaging instead. From here on out we will buy online only. I refuse to experience someone like that again. Sounds like online ordering is the way to now that the Tempe store is closed. Bet this ones next! Since posting this I even reached out to the company directly with zero response... really poor customer service. So disappointed. read more
