I absolutely ADORE Sugarpill. I was there on opening day and it's still my go-to place anytime I need to get gifts. The array of fancy salts is fantastic. I love that I can buy the small, sample-sized tins for around $3 or less. I stock up on two or three of those whenever I go in so I can try as many as possible. If I find one I like, I usually end up buying a larger tin as a gift for someone. Even the bigger containers are a good deal which is excellent because Sugarpill has caused an addiction to truffle salt on my air-popped corn. In addition to the salts they have lots of soap, interesting chocolate bars, local honey, a nice collection of bitters, and lovely-looking preserves (I do my own canning so I usually just scan the jams for any ideas I haven't already tackled). I haven't used the owner's services much for teas and health stuff but she has a ton of containers behind the counter and can probably whip things up for whatever ails you. I did go in once in a panic because I needed to make mustard for someone I'd promised it to and lo and behold she hooked me up with a large amount of mustard seeds for practically nothing. Saved me a trip to Penzey's! read more

Super cute little shop to pick up some specialty foods. Prices for salts, oils, chocolates, and exciting snacks are pretty affordable. Owner is ALWAYS nice and super sociable! read more

This place is way cool and unique. It's rare to find such a fantastic little treasure. I happened upon this because my friends had a bitters mix kit instructions posted on their fridge that they received as a gift and I decided I wanted to go check this place out. That Saturday, we went and I fell in love. Both my friends and I walked out with bags full of call kinds of fun items. Aside from being a herbal apothecary, they have tons of really cool just that you can just pick up off the shelf - bitter kits, bottled bitters, salts, and all kinds of other fun stuff. There is really no describing what it's like if you've never been, so give it a try and chat up the staff. I'm sure you'll find something you'll love in here! read more

We came here to pick up a housewarming gift and had such a good time. To be honest, I'm not into the whole feel good aromas nor cooking with special salts or any of this (I'm a 99cents Morton Salt type of person) . But we were going to a house warming party for new friends so we thought we'd pop in here to check it out upon the suggestion of a Seattle FB Crafting group. The staff behind the counter was SOOOO helpful in making suggestions for what is appropriate for a house warming gift. She was patient and happy to explain everything to me. I felt like I asked the dumbest questions (because I'm not normally into this kind of stuff) but she made me feel comfortable to ask anything. She was the perfect mix of offering help when I needed but also leaving us alone so we could browse everything on our own and just read and absorb all these foreign and unique things to us. We were able to put together a nice little gift basket within our budget and left feeling really good, like we just went on a little "new activity" date together. Haha. read more

Your in a pinch of what to bring to house warming/dinner party/ the person who has every culinary item ever needed, then you must see Sugarpill as your quick savior to the night. Right away I would deem this store of fancy and frivolous froo-froo's for fancy cooking and entertaining; an absolute perfection for which occasions seem to come often and random. The alcoholic bitters really caught my eye and left me wishing i could easily conjure up a sweet new tonic to drink. Prices are without a doubt on the higher end. Be choosy in what you get, I noticed many organic items that I could purchase much cheaper at Co-ops. read more

I walked by this place and went in due to curiosity. They have all kinds of things in here. Chocolates and different kinds of salt and syrups and bitters for drinks. I also noticed they had smoked soy sauce and some great olive oils. I purchased some caramels and some tea for anxiety. Great energy here, too. The sales person was knowledgeable and kind. A little pricey, so I took off one star... read more

Lovely store, lovely staff, just lovely! I love the selections of salts and herbs and that you can purchase in large or small amounts if you want to try them out. The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly. I had a question the other day which i left on an answering machine before they opened and I had a return call within minutes of them opening! tre bien! read more

This darling little shop is packed with all kinds of goodies that will inspire your cooking, cocktails and health routine. It's not a grocery store, but you will find a variety of special ingredients that will inspire amazing kitchen creations. The proprietor is incredibly knowledgable about herbs for health and also herbs and spices for cooking. The selection at Sugarpill is very well curated, stocked with fine chocolates, salts and spices from all over the world. This apothecary is a must-see for foodies (or to find a gift for the foodies in your life). When i'm in a grumpy mood, the exotic spicy scent in SugarPill cheers me up, and a special chocolate and something for the bath are the perfect pick-me-up remedies for our crudly winter weather here in Seattle. We love the vintage reproduction drinking chocolates, which are always a fun ritual on a chilly evening. I've noticed they also offer free workshops on occasion. The subject matter always looks enticing - how to use herbs, natural medicine - although I have yet to make it to one. Karyn lists workshops, along with other events and specials on Sugarpill's Facebook page, so it's worth subscribing to her feed to keep up with what's new. read more

This is my go-to shop for buying gifts. Many fancy delicacies to chose from. I also buy herbs here as the proprietress, Karyn, is a trained herbalist and gives excellent advice on remedies for various health concerns. I love fancy salts and there are dozens at Sugarpill. Such a good feeling to just be in the store. read more

I love this place, and make sure to visit it every time I'm in town. The sourcing of the herbs and tinctures here is about as good as it gets. Plus Karyn is an incredible herbalist and homeopath, and has really helped me heal from some difficult conditions. Oh, and she fills the place with all kinds of amazing treasures. Eye candy, amazing chocolates, a wry sense of humor, and true healing all under one roof. Yes! read more

What can I say, I love this store! I was on a short vacation in Seattle when I got major sinus congestion!! Over the counter drugs never work for me and always make me feel more congested so I wanted to try an alternative. Luckily, I found this store online. I went in, explained my symptoms and came out with an herbal oil, some AWSOME body balm for a shoulder pain, and some great advice! The next day my sinuses cleared up and I was grateful! The next day I returned to buy some local honey and another pain reliever body balm since I knew I couldn't find anything like it in California until 2018!! Next time I'm in Seattle, this will definitely be my first stop! I regret not buying the loose leaf tea! I wonder if they ship to California?!?! Hmmmm... read more

Great store for your inner foodie or the foodie in your life! They have lots of spices, jams, chocolates, oils, bitters, body products and even jewelry! I love my truffle oil, winter cough tea and smoked salt. I also got a relaxation evening tea for a friend as a gift here. I love the bottlecap jewelry in here! Unique and beautiful- it'll be my next purchase for myself. The service is also great. The owner was very helpful with suggesting the right spice based off my eating habits. I also asked her about products for digestion and she was honest with me and told me I needed to improve my habits, not purchase products. The prices are what I expect for a gourmet food shop/apothecary. They're higher than QFC obviously but standard for the niche. I wish the tea selection here was a little bigger but it looks like she custom blends a lot of them so I'm sure there will be different ones each time. Hours also make it a little tough for me to get to except Saturday's but I think this is a 1-2 woman show so its understandable. I can't wait to come back here for gifts and Christmas shopping! read more

Always have loved this store and it intrigues me. But it seems every single time I go on the owner is there. For whatever reason she has some kind of personal issue. Kind of weird to be rude to someone who has and wants to spend money in your store. read more

This place reminds me of rummaging through my grandma's pantry, except my grandma never had as nice of stuff as Sugarpill does. From strawberry balsamic jam to cookware made out of salt, this shop may be little but it's stocked with all kinds of interesting and unique, local products. And it's not just foodstuffs, as they carry soaps and lotions as well. Sadly, I have yet to try any of the products myself, as everything I purchased was given away as a Christmas gift (darn it!), and the prices are high enough to make Whole Foods look like Walmart, so this is definitely more along the lines of the occasional splurge than a regular spot. read more

SugarPill is a miracle. Owned and operated by Karyn Schwartz with love, care and intention, it's a gem in a neighborhood that's being overrun by big chains and high rent. Do yourself a favor and stop by, say hello to Karyn and take in this wonderful place. Most importantly, buy something. It's critical to the soul of Cap Hill and Seattle that a business like SugarPill thrives. read more

I've been coming here since day one. Have always felt welcomed by the staff and left happy and energized. I can come in looking for something very specific or very vague, makes no difference. The staff is always engaging and super helpful. Places like this keep me sane and keep Capitol Hill special. Keep doing what you do, never change. And thank you for being you! read more

Karyn and this shop are a gift to the neighborhood. She has cured my awful coughs and sinus problems over may winters now. She is patient when explaining what to do with her tinctures and has such a sense of humor when I ask small minded questions such as "does it taste bad"? This shop also supplies my favorite type of salt, fancy chocolate and candles. It is a wonderfully curated selection of very special goods. read more

A nice selection of fine salts--perfect as a little host/hostess gift. I came in and sampled more salts than I probably should have--finally deciding on a Hawai'ian Lava flavor. Delicious! It was unexpected and well-received when I brought it over during dinner, and I'll definitely be back for some jam and salt powder. read more

Sugarpill is a one of a kind store and its proprietor, Karyn, is a wonderful asset to our community. As an herbalist and homeopath, she provides a wealth of friendly and helpful information. Plus the products in the store just keep getting better and better. read more

This entire store sells sugar. Well, they sell other goods too, but if you're looking for salt from, say Alaska, they'll have it. It might be a bit pricey but worth it if you're looking for high-quality specialty salt. read more

The products-- WOW. You cannot find a better selection of fine goods and gifts anywhere. The woman behind the counter was also delightful, super friendly without being weird, and a joy to speak with. I'm surprised by some of the negative reviews! I'll say that this spot is expensive because everything is super high quality, or handmade, or, in other words, worth the price. That won't keep me away, though. I bought some beautiful salt, the best chocolate I've ever eaten, and some lovely allergy tea. I'll be back again soon! read more

Still love this place and it's such a good resource - the owner is often a bit grumpy, though, and it's not worth getting a single tincture there because they charge something like $14 -- much cheaper just to buy those at Rainbow Remedies but for a specialty blend, though, it's definitely worth it since everyone at Sugarpill seems informed about herbs. read more

What a great little homegrown apothecary, just like an old fashioned drug store, but without the drugs! All herbs here, and that's the biggest and best known secret of all time- herbs are the cure, not pharmaceuticals. Want to improve your health? enter the 21st century and use ancient remedies, all there for you with a fabulous consultant as well. Karen will take her time with you and with her vast knowledge, direct you to something new, something just plain great, and something that will cure what ails you. read more

Finally stopped by here today and very pleased with the selection. PIcked up a couple essential oils (lime and jasmine). I can't wait to make my own spritzer for the steam room at the gym. They had quite the selection of salts and I settled on white truffle and (you won't believe this) vanilla salt. I have no idea what I'll put it on, but I'll find something. If you ever need bitters, this is your place to go; they seemed expensive to me, but perhaps you only use a small amount for your drinks. There were no fewer than 50 kinds; I tried a cherry chocolate one that was very tasty. read more

I stopped in to get a Christmas present for a friend who raved about a truffle-infused salt she got at Sugarpill. I really enjoyed chatting with the owner- she was really helpful in matching my friend's tastes to an appropriate gift and in the process I got excited about some of the recipes she mentioned and ended up getting gifts for another friend and myself! read more

I love this store! The owner, Karyn, is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly as is everyone I've ever been lucky enough to have help me when I've gone in there. They have helped me so many times with teas and tinctures to help keep me stay healthy when I'm starting to feel a cold coming on, to tinctures for when I'm feeling stressed, unfocused or sick. They have always given me great advice and recommendations, like when they taught me how to make my own elderberry syrup! How cool is that? I also love all the salts and really cool gifty items they sell. This is my go to place to buy presents for hard-to-shop-for friends and family. Fancy maple syrup, fancy bitters, fancy salts, unique cards and so much more. They also have cool jewelry too! Love Love Love SugarPill! read more

Well curated shop with dozens of specialty food and cooking items not found at specialty grocery stores, such as Whole Foods. Very helpful staff, who made recommendations based on her experiences with the items that are sold at the shop. read more

Sugarpill is one of the best locally owned shops in town. Karyn is awesome. I tell everyone to go there. I love her selection of treats, but most of all, her ethos. She is truly local, and practices what I've come to understand as the generosity economy. So go visit this little shop and spread the love. These are the types of businesses I want in my neighborhood and city. read more

This is my favorite shop (Besides Fini) in town to look for gifts - for me as well as for others. The mix of quality chocolate (bars, not filled chocolates), oils, teas, coffees, BITTERS, bath items and not least all kinds of intriguing SALTS and sugars tantalizes me enough to peruse through all the goodness much longer than I would in other shops. The size of the shop, the beauty of the building, and the shop itself makes it a pleasant and not overwhelming experience to go shopping. Oh, and did I mention that the owner is a very pleasant person who has a good taste i music? read more

Karyn is awesome. I walked in there because it's a really cool looking store, filled with pink salt blocks, chocolates, and tastefully decorated with dark stained wood combined with lots of natural light. Since there weren't a ton of customers at the time, I started talking to her about a condition my boyfriend was being treated for by another naturopath but wasn't seeing any improvement. She had lots of suggestions for him to try that are 1) generally good for your health, 2) practical to do, and 3) do not include having to buy a bunch of herbal stuff. We implemented her suggestions, the condition went away and stayed away. Listen to her, it will do your body good. And buy stuff, she really takes time to curate interesting and awesome items outside of the naturopathic realm, the naturopathic stuff she stocks only the best quality. She has a great selection of loose leaf teas as well. read more

Sugarpill is a very cool little shop. For such a tiny place, it really has a lot to offer, and the the woman who I believe to be the owner is very helpful and always there. There is not as elaborate of a selection as some other shops around, however if you're looking for a strong relationship with your apothecary this is definitely where you want to be. On a more relevant note for myself, there is a fantastic selection of salts and for incredible prices. I honestly have not seen better prices around. For a about $30 you can get around 5 ounces of black or white truffle salt. Believe me, you can't find a better price at any specialty shop around. If you haven't been here, I highly recommend just checking it out. It's fun just to go and look around. read more

The minute you walk in you're hit with the aroma of spices and teas, a foodies scent wet dream. They had a wide variety of spices and teas neatly packaged. Most of which I can get at home, however, it was nice to walk in and see what they had. They had Himalayan sea salt (pink) in powdered form which I've never seen. read more

Truly the only place to get some quality salts and bitters. I love the owner. I think she's a wizard. She's so nice and helpful. Its also really THE place for gifts. The Habenero salt and Seven Woods are just simply the best. We are so lucky to have Sugarpill in Seattle!!! read more

Thoughtful herbal remedies, decadent chocolate, aromatic oil blends and aromatherapy items. Not to mention a variety of shrubs, tinctures and CBD products. Stop by if you're close by, there's something for you there. read more

curious and cool place you must check out teas - salts - herbs - spices Keemum Ha Yao Tea anyone? read more

If you are feeling under the weather and would like an alternative to regular medicine this would be the place to check out. Sugarpill offers a lot of great homeopath medicine as well as herbs, spices, honey, teas, and bath items. The staff is very helpful and will whip up something specific for you depending on your ailments. read more

I love this shop! Thoughtful, beautiful aesthetic and filled with tons of holistic remedies for self care. The owner, Karyn goes above and beyond and clearly cares about what she is offering. Nice to find within an authentic respite within the density of Captiol Hill. read more

Sugarpill is a welcomed addition to the Hill. Stunning design coupled with the best service in any retail shop anywhere. I have long been a fan of culinary salts. The selection at Sugarpill make me want to lick at the salt block of the gods. LOVE! read more

Beautiful, incredible things. Bought some rose sugar here and it's sublime. The shop is small but full of treasures. The woman working that day was very friendly, knowledgable, and wanted to make sure I found the thing i was looking for. It was a great experience and I will definite return when I am in need of something unique or specific. read more

What a fantastic little store! I wish I could pick it up and put it in my neighborhood. It's the kind of place I would happily browse in weekly, whether I needed to or not. But really, who doesn't need regular doses of specialty salt or delicious chocolate? read more
