    Spices!
    Alex R.

    Great place to find spices, nuts and pretty much everything you'd expect from a bulk natural food store. It's a bit of a tight space though.

    The Grainry is the place to go if you are looking for a variety of grains, rice, pastas, soup mixes, flours, seeds, sea salts, spices, and nuts. You won't just find whole wheat flour here, you'll also find chickpea flour and roti flour, along with a bunch of other types. They also carry fresh tahini, bee hive corn syrup, maple syrup and maple butter.

    I still remember the original store, Galloway's decades ago on Robson Street. Now renamed Goodway's…read more(due to new owner), it is still the same decades later with quality products and great customer service. As soon as you walk in, you can smell the array of spices sold here. You'll find an ample variety of nuts, grains, flours, & imported items. If you are needing a specific spice or ingredient to make that special dish, this is the place to go. This place has ingredients for all types of cooks including gluten-free, vegans, vegetarians, etc. The staff is helpful and friendly. They have different store hours (see attached photo). They are located on Sixth street in New Westminster (just across the street from Royal City Centre Shopping). There's parking on the street or just as easy, park in the Royal City Shopping Centre for free. Exit at the doors near the food court and Goodway's is across the street.

    Good prices, great variety of products and size of packages. BUT, everything they have packaged…read morethemselves tastes of fenugreek or curry powder. Not bad in some stuff but it takes a lot of cinnamon in my morning rolled oats to hide the unwelcome flavour that oermeates everything. So, if you want to stock up on dried beans, spices, herbs, all sorts of baking supplies including nuts and candied fruit, this is the place to do it frugally but be warned, it will all smell of curry powder. Even airing it out at home for months has not removed that. I love curry. Just not in everything, including baking supplies.

    I am a big fan of South China Seas at Granville Island and I actually went all the way to this…read morelocation from the west side to see what they had to offer. I found this shop in an unlikely place in the middle of a housing neighbourhood near Commercial Drive. The shop is quite small to my surprise but that's probably because I didn't see the kitchen. It's well stocked with uncommon spices and herbs such as fresh galangal and fresh green peppercorns and other rare ingredients. They also sell paella kits, mortar and pestle, cookbooks and more. However, I find the selections very similar to the Granville location and there's really no incentive for me to travel all the way to Victoria Drive. But if you live in the east side, this is great place for people to get a hold of ingredients they've never tried before without having to squeeze their car into the already crowded Granville Island. Pop some galangal into soups or use coconut water in your stew. Life is indeed too short for boring food.

    Cute, clean shop with awesome service and a great selection of exotic ingredients from all over the…read moreworld. Came here in hopes of finding a few hard-to-source chiles for an enchilada sauce; left with two bags full of amazing imports. Mexican cheeses, fresh and dried chiles, corn tortillas, hot sauce, tomatillos -- this place is paradise. Even better, the woman behind the till (owner perhaps?) was super knowledgeable and loaded us up with some extra freebies of produce she couldn't sell. We will be back!
