The Spice & Tea Exchange can be a fun spot to stop in to browse or to get fun interesting gifts…read more However, many of the teas and spices have a rather strong artificial flavoring despite the ingredients claiming they're all natural. The store is a franchised chain and pricing is on the higher side for teas, spices, herbs, and seasonings. Service felt rather average. The interior is cute with merchandise organized in a logical manner. Personally, I would not return again as I have different tastes in what I'm looking for in teas and spices. However, it could be a decent spot for anyone who likes to try out unique blends.

I love Penzey's Spices. I used to frequent the location they had in Tempe Marketplace, but they no…read morelonger 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!

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!

I've been to a few afternoon tea places and was really impressed with Tea Time. We reserved an…read moreafternoon tea for 3 that included a fun painting craft at the end. The teas they offered were very different from each other and were spectacular. The food is not made on site which is why reservations need to be made in advance. We dined on items such as crostini, salad, scones, cake and tartlets. Everything was pretty good I thought. The only item I wasn't a fan of was the cake which was too sweet and not very appealing to me texture wise. Service was excellent and you can tell the staff here are passionate about tea.
