I don't make it to Uptown very often--maybe two or three times a month if I'm being generous--but…read morewhen I do and Penzey's is open, it's an automatic pit stop! I don't really have the patience to cook, so I never really understood the hype around "quality spices"... until the last year or two. After a post-brunch wander, we popped in and grabbed a few of their small sample seasonings (mainly for steak), and WOW--consider me converted. I'm officially hooked and buying spices for cooking, baking, and their hot chocolate section is perfection in the cold months! My husband does the Dutch cocoa but I love the hot cocoa mix with a hint of mint :) The staff are always warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help. There's constantly something new to smell and explore which makes it dangerous in the best way. You never really walk out with just what you planned on buying Pro tip: get on their mailing list!! So many great perks, insider deal days, and coupons that help your wallet during these crazy times.

My mother-in-law has long been a fan of Penzy's. Now I live near one, so I was able to check it out…read morewhile I was in downtown. You wouldn't think a spice shop would justify an entire establishment, but their variety is unparalleled! Not just spices but also curry, chili, soup bases, extracts, and even hot cocoa powder! They have unique blends to try; I had to pick up their RESIST! in these trying times. Yes, you'll pay more than Walmart but you can eat easy knowing your money isn't funding billionaires! The employee was quite kind to me, as I arrived at 5:55pm not realizing the store was closing at six! He reassured me it was fine, didn't rush me, and helped me find a particular spice I was searching for. There is also a cute area for kids to sit and play while their parents browse.

If you're into specialty olive oil and balsamic vinegar - this is the spot…read more The primary focus of this store is infused olive oil and flavored specialty balsamic vinegar. These 2 things easily take up half of the floor space. They also have bulk spices of every flavor and color. These are self-serve and are weighed at the front desk. My friend came here looking for a weird and somewhat rare Szechuan Peppercorn that makes your tongue numb (without burning it). And they actually had it in the bulk spice area! Finally, there's a myriad of weird salt lamps. Interesting. -Daddy Maxx Retro

Vegetable selection is nice, but the quality is hit or miss. Fruit section is good. Pre-made food section is ok, they basically make ~6 dishes and rotate them. My go-to place for healthy selections. I gave them 3 stars because quality is really hit or miss with their vegetables.
