    Did not know what to expect when we went to Santos Spice Products. Drove my parents here because she wanted to purchase their Samosas. So, I punched them into my GPS and followed the directions given to me. They are located in a building that looks more like a big warehouse. Sure enough, when you walk through the door, there is a ton of merchandise. They do not sell just spice products. Lots of other grocery products are available too. I did not explore everything that Santos Spice had to offer, but I did see plenty of Indian goodies and snacks. The Samosas we were craving are located on the counter in a little display. They were fresh!! Happy to say that they tasted delicious!! Better than what many restaurants make. I got to taste the number one reason why the family likes coming here. I'll be back too.

    Second time coming here. First time was just to check out their place as I've heard a lot about them and bought just a couple of items. I love this spice and herbs specialty store. It's pretty huge for a spice store itself. It's clean and they have everything you ever need for any indian-themed cuisine. Plus the staff are nice and helpful too. They have value-pack for those customers who owns a restaurant and need to buy in bulk. Amazing selections of grains, flours, spices, etc. They also sell fresh samosas for $.75 cents. Pretty good for that price since they are freshly-made. My husband and I love Indian food but we just nornally dine out from time to time at 2-3 of our favorite Indian restaurants close to home. Cooked all this in one day. Lamb curry, Indian butter chicken(makhani), Chicken curry, Veggie curry(cauliflower, brocolli, okra, indian eggplant),Pakora,Tandoori chicken, Basmati rice, Raita, Chutney. Naan bread and Samosa are just store-bought. Took me almost all day. 11am-7pm. Coz first time cooking couple of the dishes. From doing groceries, prep and cooking. Taking pics on the side as well. But good thing I have my ever efficient, fast and hardworking Sous-chef beside me to help clean up. Will come back here again. Highly recommended!

    I've been going with my family to Santos for ages. It's a wonderful place to get produce and spices. The prices are fair. The products are great, especially their spices. Lastly the service is incredible. The place is run by a family and you definitely get the family treatment. For example my mom needed help deciding on some basmati rice. The clerk called his mom over and she help us pick some rice. If you do go, you should without a doubt pick up one of their fresh samosas. They are $0.75 each. They are incredibly warm, fresh, full of spices. The filling is perfectly fluffy and the entire thing is wrapped up beautifully. I've never had a better samosa ever.

    What's so obscene about a wholesome children's breakfast drink?

    We always come here to buy Indian/Nepali spices. Their price is more reasonable than other Indian stores around.

Walking into their Grand Avenue location feels like stepping into a beautifully archived world of flavor--row upon row of fresh, aromatic, hand-mixed small-batch spices in clean, classic glass jars. The rustic yet organized vibe makes you want to overhaul your entire kitchen pantry immediately. They have everything from everyday essentials to obscure herbs, but their specialty collaborations are where they truly shine. If you try only one thing, make it the Hat Trick spice mix (their incredible collaboration with the Oakland Roots and Boichik Bagels). It is an absolute game-changer. It brings a bright, savory, and zesty kick with Aleppo chile flakes, citrus salt, sesame seeds, and nori. It has the perfect warm, delicious heat that elevates everything it touches--especially an open-faced bagel with lox and avocado, or a crusted salmon filet. Between the incredible customer service, the gorgeous shop aesthetic, and brilliant blends like Hat Trick, it's easy to see why they were named one of the best spice shops in the world. I'll be a customer for life!

As long-term customers and fellow business owners who consistently support your company, we expect fairness and respect, particularly during a festive occasion meant to reflect goodwill.
