I walked in and was amazed at the huge selection of loose tea available for purchase. White, black, green, caffeinated, unique flavors, you name it and there is something for you here! The owner was so kind as he explained to me a bit about what they carry and invited me to smell the wonderful aromas of the tea by opening the jars and discovering the scents. (This is very sanitary, as the jars are covered allowing you to smell without compromising/contaminating the product). In addition to an array of teas, there is also a merchandise and wide variety of spices. There is metered parking directly outside the storefront. Supporting local businesses brings me so much joy and I will be back.

A must go if you're willing to explore downtown lexington. The owners are incredibly friendly and…read morewarm, and I have personally never seen such a wide variety of spices across lexington, nicholasville, richmond and more! Not everyone is into tea, but I love loose leaf and this place is like heaven to me. And hey, if you're not into it, they even offer tea and a snack for a couple bucks so you can give it a shot. The owner, pardon me for forgetting his name, was so knowledgeable and told me about all the different kinds of tea he had, and even showed me tea that strongly resembles the taste and smell of coffee (so I can get my dad to switch haha). They also have a rewards program that you don't have to sign up for, it's just a little index card that they punch and you can get free tea! Overall, such a lovely place to go. If you're thinking of a certain spice they are bound to have it, and their options of tea genuinely surprised me! i've been loving the darjeeling peach apricot. Worth every penny :)

The Tuesday special was a pulled pork sandwich. I took it outside to eat. Not very good, I'm afraid. Probably should have gone with a sandwich. Had I brought a cooler, I would have bought some perishables. I bought a loaf of sourdough bread and a jar of bear jam. On the way home I drove through Mt.

I'm so excited that I got to order from Pinch Spice Market, after following them for a bit and…read morehearing some great word of mouth. Pinch has a website that you can order through, and if you're local to Louisville you can pick up your order at their facility. They don't have a store open to consumers. I wanted to make shaksuka for the first time but needed harissa and ras el hanout spice blends, which I couldn't find at Kroger. Pinch had these for $7 and $8 for 1/4 cup tins. And my order was ready for pick-up within 24 hours. Clear instructions were sent for this, and my husband was able to easily retrieve these for me. These spices are so fragrant, and I loved adding them to my dish. Now I'm looking for other dishes I can make with these. I can't wait until I need more spices, because I will definitely order from Pinch again.

Galena Garlic Co. was a favorite find during my recent trip to Madison…read more GGC has such a wide selection of flavored balsamic vinegars and olive oils, as well as spices, spice blends, pasta and more. And the selection was also organized in such an intuitive way. I was on the lookout for champagne vinegar for my husband -- something fun we had recently seen on a YouTube cooking video. I was able to find this on my own rather quickly. I love that we were able to walk around and try several of these too. I ended up buying a small bottle of peach balsamic vinegar based on the sample I tasted. I can't wait to try it on salads. The staff was helpful and told us they also ship. Every aspiring home chef should visit this shop.

They also had some very interesting flavors like smoked olive oil and grilled lemon balsamic. My reason for it being only a four-star review is that...there wasn't a lot of garlic?

Highly successful businesses have outgrown the market and moved on to standalone businesses. And other shops have fizzled out. But I'm thrilled that Colonel De's has been a mainstay in this spot. Colonel De's is not a big chain, but they are a little one. The original is in Findlay Market in Cincinnati, and as of this writing there's also a satellite across the river in Newport. Colonel De's also does a mail order business, but that's it for offices. And the spices are great. They make a lot of their own blends and they have pretty much all the basics. They are not as cheap as some of the crap you can find at the grocery store, but they are definitely a notch better. And I'm pretty sure they look affordable when compared to some national chains. My favorite aspects, besides the convenience of coming here, include the fact that you can bring your own container, and the experience more generally that the people they've had working here have always been very helpful and approachable. Friendly place, great spices, super convenient, and you can grab an arepa or a bagel or a beer while you're running your errand. Skip the spice aisle at Kroger. Come here and get better stuff.
