I admired the owner's story and absolutely loved the concept. It's a cooks dream to have a destination dedicated to fun and unique spices from all over the world. Unfortunately, after my visit to The Spice Suite today my feelings changed completely about this business. As we were headed over, I was telling my boyfriend to make sure I don't spend too much because I knew going into a world of spices would most likely lead to a big dent in my pocket. I was ready to spend!!! After my first 10 mins in the shop, i told myself I wasn't going to spend a single penny in here. Here's why....first, the two women working there could have just not been there. It seemed like we were imposing on them by being there and asking questions. In a place like this where product is so unique the staff should be enthusiastic, inviting and able to answer questions about the product. Nope, not these two. Secondly, when asked what some of the spices were made of (basic info like salt or no salt) they had no clue. They were guessing where things were from and eventually called someone to find out what the spices were. Third point ties into my second point...they have random bags of spices with no labels on them. I'm pretty sure that's not legal, but I won't go there. The response when asked about ingredients, was that "they're from different countries and sometimes aren't always sure of the contents. Customers should be adventurous" Are you kidding me??? That's when I lost it. Adventurous? There is this thing called food allergies that kill people. The final straw was the lack of pricing on product. I wish that was the only issue because I could deal with that. All the other issues were unacceptable and if I were the owner of this business I would not want to be associated with having this horrible level of service. I'll spend my hard earned money elsewhere where I'm valued. What a horrible experience. Hope this was a one off, but I won't ever return to find out. Suggestions to the owner...make an investment in labels people want to know where things are from and more importantly what's in them. This could help tremendously since the staff is incapable of proving that very important information. Lastly, find staff that actually lifts your business vs. staff that gives black businesses a bad reputation. On a brighter note, the space is beautifully decorated.

In the world of gourmet chocolates, Artisan Confections separates itself from the competition by their visual appeal. The sea of browns and minuscule sprinkles and linear frostings creates ambiguity and indecisiveness within a box of ordinary chocolates, whereas when one opens a box of Artisan Confections, each handcrafted piece has a unique trademark artistic design and array of vivid color that will leave a lasting multi-sensory impression and the only ambiguity will be whether taste supersedes visuals.
