It was my first time there, a nice little shop with a good selection of spices. I recommend it. read more

Savory Spice Shop - Specialty Food Near Me - Littleton, Colorado

We still come here about twice a year when the spices run out. It's still a great shop. Sometimes it takes a while to get the refills done but it's a chance for me to practice patience which isn't always my strong suit. I do love their spices. It has certainly been impressive to see the rollout of their shops across not only Denver across the entire USA. read more

Cute little shop with very helpful staff. Super friendly!! Spices are fresh! They have a wonderful variety of spices and mixes!

Great selection, great service. The employees always make us so welcome. Can't recommend enough!

Love Savory Spice shop! They've been elevating my cooking for years and they are local which makes me happy to support them. Helpful friendly staff and the smells are free. read more

Me and my family have been coming to Savory for several years. Our kids do the majority of their Father's Day shopping here, as well as kitchen staples and niche products. The price point is awesome especially for the great quality, the customer service is second to none, and the store itself is clean, organized, and I could honestly spend all day in there. You also get the occasional freebie for amount spent or birthday, and they usually have local products from other small sellers. Wish I could give more than 5 stars, honestly. read more

The BEST spice shop! From the moment you walk in, you are welcomed with a great greeting and offers to help you find what you need. Amazing selection of unique spices and other treats. read more

This is my favorite spice shop. The original one is still downtown and I remember years ago hearing the stories of Julia Child stopping by to do a, I believe it was a cooking demonstration. I still love my bottles, I have many of theirs. I have certain ones that fit in to a certain spot in my spice drawer. I keep the original ones that I have purchased and I go back to have them fill up little baggies of fresh spices that I dumped into the small bottles, it's a fair amount and then that way I keep replenishing the empty bottles with fresh spices. They have a rewards program and I just went to pick up some more spices and they gave me a free package of spice for a birthday gift. Thank you, I am a loyal customer. I WOULD recommend going there and check it out yourself. I would probably guarantee, once you went inside you won't come out empty-handed. read more

Excellent service and nice variety. I always find something new to experiment with. The black garlic is fantastic.

If you want, amazingly fresh spices, this is the place! Can't say enough good about the quality and variety of the spices available. And the staff are amazing and helpful. read more

Always helpful and friendly. The go to place to get all your fresh spices in Littleton! Great selection of spices. Happen to be going in last week for vanilla beans. Had exactly what I wanted and the lady helping me was very friendly in asking what I needed so many vanilla beans for and giving me ideas to help with my concoctions. This place has the feelings of grandma's kitchen inside! Inviting and warm. Will be back soon! read more

I stopped in for stocking stuffers and got those plus a mix for turkey brining (easy and delicious results). The two ladies working there were super pleasant and helped direct me to some options that I hope will be perfect for my gift recipients. It's a pleasure looking around in there because it's organized and categorized (and smells amazing). read more

When you walk into the Savory Spice Shop (either location), you can actually smell the spices. It smells wonderful! That's because the spices are actually ground on the premises. If you walk into Penzy's, on the other hand, you smell nothing. Let that be your first clue. Spices from Savory Spice Shop are better quality, and they are FRESH! Yes, they probably do cost a little more. High-end quality usually does, no matter what it is. If you just want cheap, old, or generic spices and don't much care what they taste like, then by all means, save a few bucks and get your spices at the supermarket. read more

I've seen the reviews, and could not believe that so many people would rave about a single store. That is, until we discovered Savory Spice Shop last weekend. Wow, I was blown away from this place, and I don't mean from the aroma from the spices easily detected 30 feet away from the entrance! Immediately upon entering the place, I knew it was like nothing I've seen before. Spices as far as I can see, each with little taster jars, and available either in small jar containers or in bulk. I was first fixated on the spice rubs for steak -- there were at least a couple I could of walked out with, but I showed a little restraint. That restraint melted away when I got a whiff of the most pure and powerful cinnamon I have ever experienced in my life. Sale! Then, I discovered a wall -- that's right, an entire wall of curry. Every kind of curry you can imagine, with different levels of hotness. Whether you are in to tikka masala, green, red, or yellow curry, or you want the core ingredients of curry, these are all available, again, in jars, or in bulk. Again, I couldn't help myself, the mid-spice yellow curry and tikka masala had to go home with me. I remember saying for the next several minutes, "wow, what a place!" Savory Spice Shop is definitely a gem, and it's great to see downtown Littleton get some traction by having top-notch stores and restaurants in the area. read more

Savory Spice Shop - An ENTIRE wall of curry! - Specialty Food Near Me - Littleton, Colorado

This place is a MUST for any cook regardless of tour experience level. Their blends are unbelievable, and the quality and selection of individual ingredients are first rate. I especially appreciate supporting a local business conveniently located next door to another of my favorite CO small businesses! Try: taco seasoning, Capitol Hill blend, Lavender Vanilla sugar, powdered tomato read more

Very fresh spices and very good spice blends. They have a great selection and the staff is very helpful finding you what you need. The other great thing about their spices is that because it is so fresh, you don't need to use as much as you would if you bought it at a food shop or other spice shop. If you like to cook or know anyone who does, go here. Every gift I've bought from here has been very popular with the recipient. read more

THIS PLACE SMELLS AMAZING. I came in recently for Herbes de Provence, Berbere Spices, Arrowroot, Rose Water, Orange Blossom Water, Lavender Extract, Powdered Vanilla Bean and Tamarind Paste. Some of these are hard to find and if you do find them (like at H-Mart, Whole Foods, etc.) they are not always fresh or you have to buy way more than you need. With farmer's market season over and reservations about buying online, I appreciate being able to find a local place year-round for my spices. The staff here is very helpful and encouraging when it comes to taste-testing the spices. They have great spice blends (interesting names, too) and recently, an olive oil place opened right next door which makes for extra bonus points. Definitely check this place out. read more

Absolutely love this shop. My first time in before Christmas with my adult son. Both of us felt welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed exploring spices and spice mixes. I was able to get quite a few stocking stuffers and even a fun "cake in a mug" for my granddaughters. Friendly staff without hovering and great recipes to go with many of their spices. What a marked difference from the "other" spice shop a few blocks away. Will be returning next week to use my coupon from their spice buyers program. Oh.. and the Memphis style BBQ rub is fantastic! read more

This is such a lovely store right in the heart of downtown Littleton. The different scents of herbs and spices permeate the entire store. They have spices named after landmarks in Colorado. The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable of food pairing. They provided good suggestions for vegetarian cooking and flavors profiles I'm interested in. There was a sale going on for bringing in empty spice jars. They were also giving away free samples of the Bohemian Forest European Style Seasoning, which goes very well with seafood. I am extremely happy with my purchases (the Gran Paradiso Parmesan Sprinkle and the Hidden Cove Lemon Garlic Blend)! Overall, I highly recommend this shop for all gourmet and novice cooks/chefs who love unique spice blends. And please support local businesses like this one! read more

I've always loved Savory and we buy nearly all our spices there but today was not their day. We drove a long way with a long list of things we needed to restock. They were clearly short-handed and some of the staff didn't know where things were; one stood around looking lost. After being told multiple times they'd "be with us soon" we realized they were now helping people who'd come in long after us. My husband finally got angry and walked out. And it takes a lot to rile him up! I'm not sure what's going on in the shop, but I guess we'll take our long list elsewhere. read more

Cool store,nice personal. Many many spices. I can not choose,I spend in store maybe 30 minutes when I finally choose. Om my gosh very cool store. Thanks guys for helping read more

I went right for the fifth star on this one, without hesitation, first time I've done that because this is the greatest home-run of a business that I've ever experienced! My God do they know what they're doing here!! I tell EVERYONE about the two locations (that I've been two, the other being on Platte) of this impecable business and how so immensely superior their product is to anything anywhere in the whole state! I use their spices every week, I especially love the Indian spice mixes such as the Tanoori Seasoning, Rogan Josh, Tikka Masala, and Garam Masala - all of which are salt free but taste terriffic on chicken, potatoes, rice, etc. About a third of their spice blends are salt-free but crafted so intelligently with flavor that you don't miss the salt. The aroma...oh I need the best words to describe this, don't have them now but how can anything be so wonderful! In fact, I don't want to meet a person who doesn't stay awhile once they walk in the door for that alone would be enough to label them a fool! And the reason you stay even longer - you get to taste anything there which culminates it in being a completely mind-blowing sensory experience! They have 'Taster' jars for most of their fare so you can sprinkle some on your palm, lick it, dazzle at the taste while imagining what it will go with and then throw the excess down to the attractive wooden floor. It's even better than wine tasting in my opinion. You know it's local when many of their blends are named after Colorado 14ers which speaks even more to the genuiness of this merchant. It may sound funny to make a special trip to a store just to get your spices, but again, it's so much more than just shopping, it's aromatherapy, quite literally!! I guarantee that any human being will walk out of this store feeling alive, vibrant...happy as can be. The staff are perfect. Amicable and knowledgable, they want you to stay awhile. Every conversation I've had with the staff has been meaningful to me, never the robotic retail cliche dialogue you deal with every day. Another thought I've always had of this place is how it would be the most originally sublime idea of something to do on a first date, or any date. If you want to get close to someone, bring them here and I guarantee that the experience will unite you! In summary, they have all the regular spices in addition to the myriad master-crafted spice blends they do on premises, they even have rose-petal sea salt, hibiscus sea salt, uh..they got mesquite smoke flavoring, hickory smoke flavoring, both of which are powders to rub or sprinkle on things and both of which smell and taste spectacular and are salt free! Oh and forget about Penzey's nearby, they fall so short of the Savory experience, they don't have near as much talent and THEY'RE NOT LOCAL!! Go away, Penzey's! You're not welcome in your attempt to put one of the greatest Colorado businesses ever out of business! I could go on and on and on! I LOVE YOU SAVORY SPICE SHOP!! I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!! read more

I received a hostess gift from the shop on Quebec, and I loved it so much that I thought I'd give this shop a try (especially since it's much closer to my house). I was a total LHA (last hour A-hole) and showed up a few minutes before closing. There were three ladies behind the counter. I immediately apologized for showing up right before close and they assured me I was fine. They were extremely helpful, too. My son goes off track tomorrow until January, so I thought this would be an ideal "Thank You For Putting Up With My Child And Have A Merry Christmas" gift. Who doesn't like spices, right? They helped me pick out a few spices for the teacher (and some for myself). I purchased the Peppermint Vanilla Bean Sugar, Dutch Cocoa Powder, Table Mountain All-Purpose Seasoning, Mt Elbert All-Purpose Seasoning (not to be confused with the Prince Albert piercing) and the Taco Seasoning. I purchased the Dill Dip and the Red Rocks Hickory Smoke Seasoning for myself. The average price for a tube of seasoning is $4.50--the same as the grocery store. I mentioned that I was giving it as a gift, so she put the spices in a cute, brown paper bag (with their logo on it) and tied it with a rustic green ribbon. Too cute! I highly recommend this location for their fantastic customer service, their spice selection and their plain-ol' attention to detail. I'm definitely hooked and I plan on buying LOTS of Christmas presents here and shipping them to California... I know they're gonna love 'em! read more

I love Savory. I haven't found a spice shop besides Savory that offers me everything I want in one fell swoop. The staff are also genuinely nice and helpful; they know the products and make great recommendations. I always, always, always get my black truffle salt from Savory. It's better than anything you can get at the grocery store. It's PUNGENT and the flavor holds. Unfortunately, Penzey's doesn't sell truffle salt (which just reaffirms my "get everything at Savory" strategy.) In fact, I don't think I've ever bought a single thing from Penzey's... I go look around, don't see what I want, and head straight to Savory. Savory's vanilla is awesome (I get the 2x potency and use it like normal... I love vanilla.) They also sell vanilla bean paste, which combines the liquidity of extract with the good flecks you get from the bean. I just made a chocolate crème brulee with their onyx cocoa powder. The color was stunning and the dessert turned out so beautifully. Honestly, I just can't say enough positive things about the quality of their spices. read more

Oh yea baby! This place smells delicious and has amazing local spices. I bought my mom some spices here as a souvenir gift and it was a big hit. If you check in on foursquare, you get a free sample. Everyone seems very nice and I will definitely be coming back here for my own cooking needs and gifts. Check out their local honey selection! read more

You have more to more to offer than Penzey's . The staff there is always wonderful. A new thing they have is the Cocoa Packet with different chocolates and sugars. It's pretty much the end of barbecue season here so there are mark down prices on some things. read more

Savory Spice Shop - a woman shopping in a store - Specialty Food Near Me - Littleton, Colorado

I love all things Savory Spice Shop, no matter which location I visit and the Main Street Littleton location is no different. The ladies working here are friendly and had tons of suggestions of what I was looking for and how to use the seasoning. Novice cook I am not, so I am always looking for suggestions and new ideas to bring to the kitchen and Savory never disappoints. If you're a coffee lover like me, be sure to check out their sugar selection the lavender and peppermint is to die for and absolutely terrific in a cup of joe! read more

Like Penzeys Spices, this place is also a dream. Who knew it was so easy to get hooked on spices? I love that you can see them prepare everything on site - and according to their website, they prepare everything weekly in small batches so it's as fresh as possible. It's really inexpensive compared to the grocery store, so you can buy tons of stuff to try out. Although I was there on a busy day, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Box sets of spices here make a great gift - they have some that are specifically named after local and state landmarks, which I think makes a really cool gift (but maybe I'm just a nerd like that). Plus, their gift boxes are packed with loose goodies like cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, and red chiles that you can put in your own containers for later use. Go there now! read more

The Savory Spice Shop makes me happy! They have an enormous range of herbs, spices, curry blends, marinades, dry rubs etc etc, and the prices are sooo cheap. I love the fact you can sample everything before you buy, and the staff are so unbelievably patient as they weigh out half ounces of fifty different things for you. Great store. I could spend hours in it (and I do). read more

We love Savory! Every staff member is super helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. They carry lots of ethnic spices you can't find at the grocery store. And because they sell in bulk, you can buy as little or as much as you need, with no excess. One of my best experiences was when I came in to buy spice jars. (I was tired of all the different sizes and shapes of jars, and wanted them all to match.) I brought in my old jars for them to recycle and received a discount on my purchase. The new glass jars with lids and labels ended up being less than a dollar a piece! Great experiences, great spices, great service. I don't go anywhere else for spices anymore. read more

Conveniently located right next to EVOO, this is a must stop location for anyone who likes to cook. I love their spice blends for dry rubs or sprinkling onto what might have been a plain dish. You can buy bags or bottles of spices... and just go grab a bag to refill your stash of spices. A great spot to get a last minute gift for any foodie friend. It'd be lovely if Savory Spice and EVOO collaborated on some recipes. read more

It has been a long time since I have been in a store where the staff is kind and helpful, but also gave me breathing room to shop. The store is so pretty and smells so wonderful that I just like to be in there. They have an amazing, high quality, selection of spices and they gave me a sample of one of their rubs (very thoughtful)... Why go to a specialty spice shop instead of just grabbing something at the grocery store? Because everything you cook/make will taste SO much better, the quality is just worlds better, and it is very obvious.. If it seems inconvenient just stock up! By the way, I live way closer to a different spice store that is mentioned on here, and the employees really could have cared less about helping anyone, I also didn't know that it was not local...so while that particular spice store is also a beautiful sensory experience, make the trip to this place to give them your business...they deserve it. p.s. I recommend their 'dill dip' mix....YUM! read more

I was most impressed with this spice shop today. The service and selection were extraordinary. They had everything I needed, including some quite unusual stuff, and were very helpful. And, it's terrific that they will sell you small quantities of things. read more

Best place to find any kind of spice or seasoning you are looking for. Even exotic and hard to find items like tamarind paste. Bonus.....locally owned and operated with fabulous customer service. If they don't have it (unlikely), they will find it for you. The staff obviously loves to cook and are more than willing to share recipe ideas. They also have recipe cards to go along with some of their most popular products. You can buy as much or as little as you need which is a plus as well. Prices are very reasonable. read more

I'm really having mixed feelings about the Savory Spice Shop and highly recommend people consider their needs before coming her. I came in needing several spices for a recipe. I thought that coming into a shop such as this would be an effective way to save money and space in my cabinet, by simply getting smaller amounts of the items I needed. I indeed scored on space saving. I bought 5 1 oz sizes of seasonings that are in tiny little bags that won't crowd my kitchen. I TOTALLY FAILED on saving money. I ended up spending $12 on 5 spices, which isn't really ridiculous, except I later went to Sprouts and realized they offered the same spices for 99 cents an ounce!! I paid nearly $3 for one of my ounces of seasonings and it would have been $2 cheaper at Sprouts. Basically I could have spent $5 for the same items at Sprouts. More than twice the price - come on Savory Spice Shop - really??? Nothing I was getting was fancy or high end so the price difference is unjustified. This shop does offer some really neat unique items, like whiskey barrel sugar and some amazing coffee scented meat rubs. In those cases - come here! I assure you this place is top notch for this. Otherwise, if you are in need of singular seasonings in small packaging - get to Sprouts. Lesson learned. I assure you I won't be back for more general seasonings. I'm sure the cumin I can get at Sprouts is no different than the cumin at this spice shop. read more

I was looking for that certain spice that is an integral part of my famous (In my mind) dry rub that I usually get at Whole Paycheck. Alas, they have stopped carrying the magic ingredient, so I had to go elsewhere. As usual when looking for a something different, I turned to Yelp and was directed to this awesome business. Calling first to make sure my component was available I made the short drive to downtown Littleton. I was greeted with a fine welcome and when answering the question of what I was I looking for - I was rewarded with 'You called earlier, right?" For some reason that always makes me feel good... Anyway, this place has practically any spice that you would be looking for and a staff that can tell you more than you would ever want to know about spices. Spices are one of those things that the old adage of ,you get what you pay for, really rings true. I highly recommend patronizing this place for all your spice needs!!! read more

One word for this place...excellent! I have recently taken up Indian cooking & they have everything I could ever want or need. The first thing you'll notice is the amazing scents that smack you in the face immediately. The second thing is the HUGE variety they have to offer. And the third...the very knowledgable staff. This is a must for anyone who loves to cook. Their prices are more affordable than the grocery store, but the quality is far superior. You can't go wrong here. read more

We had read about Savory Spice Shop here on Yelp and read nothing but great things, so we went in on a Saturday afternoon from an excursion into Denver. We were delighted at all the yummy smells and variety of spices!!! Great place, great selection and great prices. Everyone is super helpful and nice in here.....no more buying spices at the grocery store....we'll be stocking our cabinet with spices from Savory! read more

I was referred to this shop by friends that RAVE about it. I'm not much of a cook, so I didn' t really have it on the top of my list to visit. Finally, Christmas snuck up on me and I wanted to pop in to get a gift card for my friends. I. was. amazed. This place smells so good when you walk in and the people that work there were so friendly and helpful! I ended up getting gifts for 4 different people (their gift sets, rock!). My parents are coffee fiends, so I bought them the "Cup'a Joe" set. This morning, they made me a coffee with the Saigon Cinnamon and I AM IN LOVE! I will be back ASAP to stock up on a few things for myself. I have a feeling these spices will give my, otherwise boring, cooking a very nice flair- not to mention my morning cup of coffee! read more

Walked in at 10 AM on a Saturday and wow, was this place busy! No worries though, as they had more than enough staff on hand and I was able to monopolize one staff member to get all my necessary spices. You can buy either freshly ground or whole spices to grind yourself. I'll stick w/ whole from now on as I prefer to have the freshly ground for better flavors. They've got tasters of almost everything they sell as well as a number of pre-made spice combinations. No matter which route you take, the prices are quite reasonable, and you're able to buy whatever amount you want. They've got darn near anything you want. I'm in the process of making an Indian meal and was able to find almost everything I needed here including black cumin and black mustard seeds. But the best part was seeing someone who looked exactly like Starla from Napolean Dynamite! read more
