    a display in a store
    Damien S.

    If you're looking for a review that needlessly drops to sophomoric depths, using euphemistic wordplay to generate double entendre instead of simply relaying the magnificence of a this brand new Davis Square storefront, you can look elsewhere.* Q and his wife has gone from farmer's market staple to niche retailer for two reasons: insane passion for making truly original treats, and the subsequent product itself. He's a munchie juggernaut, transforming the plain peanut, average almond and common cashew into luscious legumes and decadent drupes. The flavor spectrum is about as Roy G. Biv as they come, so you owe it to yourself to swing by the shop and take advantage of the generous sampling they allow. My top three? Key Lime Ginger or the Cayenne Mango cashews, and anything Bananas Foster. Hand-candied, small batch output ensures a tacky, crunchy coating, anything but overly sweet and wonderfully complex. If his signature snack isn't your thing, feel free to scoop dried fruits and other goodies available by the pound, or a scoop or two of Inman Square icon Christina's ice creams and gelato. There's a cooler full of liquids if you find yourself dehydrated from drooling. Q's a great guy and he's got a helluva shop. Can this one-trick pony muster the patronage to keep a full store up and running? *Just pop his nuts in your mouth once, and you'll be coming back for more.

    Large and small bags. Great selection for sweet and savory

    As quoted from a friend who introduced me to this place "didn't know I needed them in my life until I tried them" - I totally agree! Right when you step into the store, you'll be immediately greeted by a rich scent of lime and spices. The store owner was incredibly sweet and gave me a brief introduction to all the varieties. She was also very generous with the samples. Here are the flavors I tried: Mango cayenne cashews- sweet with a spicy kick in a mix of cashews and dried mango bits Chocolate lavender almonds - starts off rather subtle but finishes with a really nice aroma Chocolate coconut almonds - lightly dressed with a coat of chocolate and coconut shavings Mexican chocolate - cinnamon and spices, probably the most common of the ones I've tried Health nut - don't remember exactly what was in this but it was a great sweet and savory mix. You can purchase this one by the pound. I didn't notice this until later, but the flavors are available with different nuts such as pecans/cashews/almonds. The prices are quite fair for how delicious the nuts are. I got three bags for $20, two as souvenirs for my parents and one for me =)

    I'm so glad they let me taste their nuts. I bought a ton of their delicious nuts. I gifted many people their wonderful nuts.

    Inman Square

    This place was a lot larger than I expected, and they carry an unimaginable number of spices,…read moresauces, salts, pepper seasonings, teas, and grains, plus a smaller amount of coffee, dried mushrooms, marmalades/preserves/jams, honey, and oils. There's probably something for every kind of cuisine out there. I was quite happy to find that they had a special flavor of Japanese rice seasoning I couldn't find at Hmart and other Asian stores. I also ended up getting lavender flowers and yuzu marmalade to enhance and go with my matcha tea. Prices were very reasonable, and the staff were very friendly. I'll definitely be back for some specialty items!

    We drove quite a bit just to shop at Christina's Spices! This shop is nestled in Inman Square and…read morecontains spices from all around the world. There are specialty spreads, sauces, nuts, beans, teas, etc. you can purchase as well. Speaking to the owner's son, he mentioned spices are purchased in the USA (that have been imported from other countries) and purchased directly from other countries as well. I visited this shop when it first opened maybe about 7-8 years ago. It was located near Christina's Homemade Icecream shop and didn't have as much stock. I'm so glad this establishment blossomed into a full spice library! One suggestion for the owners would be to label sections with spices by maybe country or curries vs marinades etc. I bought so many spices since we are never in the area. My purchases ranged from Thai green curry spice mix to goghugaru chilli flakes. What a delightful visit I had and I even picked up a few gifts for friends too!
