I love getting my spices from the Spice Mill. Not only are the prices good, but the spices are potent & the quantity is much more than you would get at your daily supermarket for the same price! They also have Wholesale options. Not only will you find any spice you'll need, they also have various nuts, soup blends, breadcrumbs, *oils & *cooking utensils/tools (*found in-store). Gets even better! Now, their site offers delivery! Try not to go too crazy!

My favorite shop in Manchester. I've been coming here for years - wholesale spices. They are located on Adams street, next to the dog training place. Spices/spice blends & other specialty spice items. This is a small (wholesale) shop where you can buy the spices at extremely reasonable prices. They also have a mail order business. A long time ago, they would have local chefs come in on a monthly basis to do a cooking demo. And, of course, you'd get to sample what they made. That was pretty wonderful. These events would sell out quickly, and I was lucky to have gone to a couple of them. They stopped long before Covid - I think it was getting difficult to find chefs that had the time to do the demos. I really wish they could start these programs up again.

Oh, this place is my own personal hidden gem. Tons and tons of spices, cheaper than Penzey's, and SUPER knowledgeable staff (who gave me the idea of roasting sweet potatoes with garam masala and fenugreek! mmmm). The Spice Mill distributes spices, herbs and seasonings in bulk quantities, catering primarily to the restaurant industry (it's a pretty big warehouse neighboring Manchester's rock wall gym), but luckily, it also houses a small retail shop. This retail shop carries every spice imaginable at amazing prices- ground spices, plus expensive items like saffron, as well as a wall of hot sauces, oils (even truffle oil), etc. Months ago, my boyfriend and I picked up a container of smoked kosher salt from the Spice Mill and we've been back for refills! On our most recent trip, we scored some blood orange balsamic vinegar and candied dried papaya coated with hot chili powder. Never know what I'm going to find here next!

Im Making BBQ this weekend and needed some bulk spice. If you are in the Hartford area you need to stop at the Spicemill. Its close to the mall in Manchester Its a small family business 100% focused on quality This is one of the few places that you can get the quality spices professionals use in retail sizes. Their main business is directly delivering spices to A list restaurants. ask For Cadillac Jack ..he knows his stuff

They did their big one with the poutine yet again. I ordered it at 9 AM and they said their fryers…read morewouldn't be on till 10, but they graciously made an exception for us. Really appreciated the waitress for that. Had another great poutine breakfast.

Came here to try out the Quebecois items and to have breakfast. The restaurant is really open for…read moreearly morning to early afternoon dining, and we arrived closer towards closing. Upon entering, we found the wait staff chatting with each other at the seats or serving the handful of customers in the dining room. Decor was heavily coffee influenced-- from the wallpaper to the wall art, it's obvious a cup of joe plays a role here. We ordered a smattering of breakfast dishes and of course, two of the poutine dishes. Overall the food was just ok, not memorable. The pancakes had a nice texture but were largely flavorless; maple syrup helped somewhat but that ended up being the only flavor. Eggs were serviceable, potatoes were fine. The poutine was okay. I've had much better in Canada. Theirs felt like a beef based gravy out on top of French fries, with pockets of cheese curds, which were the better part of the meal. The Quebecois poutine was better, with added ham & veggies to add some complexity. The downside of our visit came as we approached their closing hour of 2pm. The crew started cleaning up and vacuuming around us as we were still eating before close. I had a single cup of coffee, and when I asked for a refill, the waitress apologized and said they poured it out because it was getting close to closing time. Ironic, considering the amount of pro-coffee memorabilia around the restaurant. We hadn't even hit closing but pouring out the coffee while a table was still eating didn't cross anyone's mind. (Nor cleaning around us, passively encouraging us to leave.) The coffee wasn't removed from the bill in recognition that maybe they made a mistake. Overall.. eh. I was hoping for more, but it is what it is. I'm sure it's fine for the regulars, but this wasn't worth the long trip for what I was hoping was a callback to Quebec faire, in Connecticut.

My husband and I have enjoyed the food at Champa Lao for 2 or 3 years now and have always walked…read moreaway completely satisfied. The flavors are scrumptious, portions are very generous, the family is delightful, and prices are very reasonable. We love the Curry Puffs, Crab Rangoon, Tom-Kar (coconut soup), Pad Thai, and Pad Kee Mao. You can't go wrong here!

First time ordering from this restaurant…read more I had a question and tried to call. They picked up the phone and immediately hung up both times I tried to call so maybe they were very busy? Not great service there. Delivery arrived promptly and the food was nice and hot. It was well packed, too, with layers of cardboard so things didn't get squashed and all the sauces and liquids were in plastic bags so they didn't leak all over the bag. The Crab Bags were excellent. Good ratio of filling to wonton. Great flavor. Some of the best I've ever had. The Orange Chicken came with the sauce separate so the chicken was nice and crisp. Nice layer of vegetables under the chicken; but the taste wasn't great. We won't order this again. The Panang Curry was very disappointing. The sauce was way too watery--I thought it was soup at first. There was no depth of flavor; just watery taste. There also wasn't very much beef. I asked for mild spice and the spice was very mild. Just a little kick on the after taste, so that was just right. But overall this dish was definitely not worth the money. If we order again I'll try the Pad Thai instead. Later: I dumped all the rice in the container of sauce and after it sat there for quite a while it absorbed enough of the sauce to not be so watery any more and the flavor improved (and so did the kick). But waiting for over an hour to eat it and having to re-heat is not optimal and the flavor was just ok.
