This place is great and has everything my local NYC organic markets have and then some and the prices were waaayy cheaper. They have a great gluten free grocery section, lots of frozen items, gluten free breads in the frozen section, awesome pantry selections, organic health and beauty items and all the latest supplements, vitamins and protein shakes. I also likes the fact that they have a book section of the store. The staff was very nice, informative and helpful. Coming from someone who lives in NYC and has the best stores around me, I thought this place was well stocked, priced right and great all around. If you live in the area and you are a vegetarian or just interested in general wellness and health; I would definitely come here and shop. This place has been around for 32 years! Shop local and support local businesses!

Usually, I leave having just had a great, educational, and insanely interesting talk with the owner, Charlene. I've asked her about herbal supplements for all sorts of issues, from irritated skin to upset stomach, and she always has a useful, informed suggestion. What's more, she sells an amazing variety of herbs, and we purchase nearly all of our cooking herbs and spices from this shop. The quality and variety are excellent. If you need something funky or unusual for your recipe, talk to Charlene- if she doesn't have it, she can often order it. This shop also carries a wide variety of other items, including mortars and pestles (for your herbs!); scarves, jewelry and accessories; artwork; and personal care and aromatherapy items (including soaps, candles, incenses, and oils). It's worth a visit to get some supplies for your kitchen or your overall well-being, or to pick up a unique gift, all while supporting a great local small business with a really cool owner.

Taste testing was highly encouraged and if the product did not have a sample laying out, the employee made up a sample in the back. They have an array of flavored oils that may all be sampled. I ended up with a fig balsamic that I use as a salad dressing. It has become my new favorite. I purchased the bacon flavored oil for my brother in law who enjoyed it. Recently, I tried the house blend and really liked it! I may have to add that to my list the next time I am in town. In addition to oils, they have a variety of spreads, marmalade's, nut butters, sauces, and seasonings. A salted caramel spread drew us in and we have used it on ice cream and pancakes. Last time, they had a spiced chai nut butter that was to die for! Finally, my brother in law raved about one of the meat rubs I purchased for him. I will return to this store every time I am in Bedford whether it is to purchase items I already like or to find something new/different to add to my cupboards.

What a great find! I was in the area last few days and liked it so much that I came back the very…read morenext day. Unfortunately, they've been closed since Sunday, so I wasn't able to squeeze in one more visit before heading home. The portions here are incredible--even the baby-size ice cream is huge and more than enough for most people. The prices are very reasonable, making it an excellent value. The French vanilla milkshake was exceptional--rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. I also picked up some Swiss cheese, and it was just as impressive. Whether you're stopping in for ice cream, a milkshake, or some of their dairy products, this place offers fantastic quality at an affordable price. I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in the area.

At Penzey's they have so many spices all hand packed. Anything you can think frozen pizza spice mix, dips and more! All the spices come in different sizes. I found vanilla sugar, which I never thought I would see on a store. Up till visiting I had only heard vanilla sugar was amazing in coffee, now I am confirm - it is amazing in coffee. It is sugar blended with real vanilla bean. You can use it in coffee, also in baking and on fruit. I was very happy to grab a bottle!

Our food tour stopped in Penzeys Spices, not to sample anything, but to pay homage to a Strip District stalwart. Although most of the establishments in the Strip are local and not chains - Penzeys does exist across the United States. However, a fun fact that they shared - this Pittsburgh location outsells all of the other 44 locations during the winter holiday months! Soooo... yinzers show up and show out for Penzeys! With spices for every dish, every culture, and curated meticulously to give you a full adventure through the store, you should come in here just to learn about spices, if not to find a new favorite or recipe maker!!

They've got all the good stuff: produce, recycled paper products, soy meat, tofu, gluten free chips, organic food, and they even have a small bulk section. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the store is always clean and bright. All of this--and they're located right off the 5-Star trail. I can totally ride my bike to get groceries.

I also frequently give them as gifts because I am so passionate about the difference these seasonings make in food, which is what inspires this review. Last year I sent a package as a gift and that friend has become a regular mail order customer. This year, for my sister-in-law's birthday, I recalled her saying how she has enjoyed several varieties at my house and hoped to get to the shop sometime when she was in town from Morgantown. So I sent her a box, and over the past few days she has been so enthusiastic I am getting constant reports on everything she is using the seasonings on. Dill Pickle salt on fries. Bagel on Grant seasoning (which is the best bagel seasoning you have ever tried, I promise you) on avocado toast, at my recommendation. She was trying them straight out of the jar the first evening she received them. They are honestly that good. I love the Black and Gold blend on corn or eggs, and during a time I was dropping a lot of weight a few years ago the Steeltown Garlic and Herb was my go-to, as it still is, when roasting trays of potatoes, veggies and tofu for meal prep. An unsung hero in the line is the relatively new Unsalted Shallot and Chive, which is a great addition to so many things and a nice option if you are trying to watch your salt intake. Customer service is super quick and helpful, if you are ordering online the orders arrive in a blink, but if you have a chance to stop out at the shop definitely do. Millvale is a great part of town and the shop is fun to browse.
