    Wandered by on a whim, and I am so glad I did! This is the largest amount of spices I have ever seen, and I knew I had to take advantage. The girl working was super sweet and helpful with weighing, bagging, and explaining everything I had questions about. I took some time to wander around, and they really have every spice, spice blend, and powdered plant/fruit/seed you can think of! There's a whole rack of different types of salt- I was in awe. I ended up buying parsley garlic salt and white pepper, which were weighed out and put in labeled bags, and Italian seasoning, which came in a small jar. I'm already using and enjoying everything I bought! I wish I lived closer to Napa, because this spot really has everything for your spice related needs.

    I have only been here a few times to buy spices, but every time I come I am absolutely amazed! There is such an abundance of different spices -- sweet, savory, tangy -- the flavor possibilities are endless. Sometimes, that's what makes it so hard to come here! I can literally spend an hour deciding on what spices to buy. Right now, they aren't allowing any touching or smelling of their products. You let the employee on duty know what you want, and they measure and bag everything up for you. Just keep that in mind if you're coming to browse and don't really know what you're shopping for. During this visit, I bought Matcha Salt + Sea Salt & Porcini Mushroom seasoning. Matcha Salt is a staple at my house (especially for KBBQ nights), and the Sea Salt & Porcini I wanna try on some salmon. Very happy with my purchases and will be back to replenish and try out new spices!

    OH EM GEE WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE WHOLE SPICE! Be prepared to upgrade your cooking experiences! Super affordable bulk spice sales at 2-3$ an ounce for most whole spices, spice blends, and spice mixes. Really rare and premade spice blends We got the following: - chimichurri seasoning - mix with olive oil and eat with steak, chicken, fish the works - peri peri seasoning - put on chicken and roast or bake for delicious spicy Peruvian chicken - schwarma seasoning - put with olive oil, salt and pepper on chicken or beef and roast for Mediterranean night - aglio olio - mix with olive oil for the perfect Italian restaurant style bread dip super satisfying - chocolate dukka - an Egyptian chocolate spice blend to cook with oatmeal for a delicious breakfast treat - mulled spices - great to cook in a crock pot with red wine and apple cider for a mulled spiced wine perfect for the holidays They have an online store too' check it out!

    IMHO Very friendly and helpful service. Like spices? This is your place! You can either self-serve your own spices or have someone help you. There are huge jars of specialty spices to choose from. You fill plastic bags with the amount of spice you desire, then use a Sharpie to label the bag with its corresponding name and number. You are encouraged to open the jars and smell the lids. Do NOT stick your nose into the jar! LOL

    Best place ever!

    I absolutely love this place! They have all kinds of spices and international spices. You will find spices here that you will not be able to find anywhere else. If you like spicy, the best seasoning for almost anything is the Ghost Pepper Salt (#797). Awesome spice with a punch!

    What a FANTASTIC find! Whole Spice has regular spices, unique blends, to salt and sugars. WOWZA!! I found all kinds of spices that is from different parts of the world! Some I recognized and some I need to explore and experiment!! I absolutely LOVE the chimichurri spices. I love it on steaks! Marinated overnight and on the grill it goes! Then you make a fresh chimichurri dipping sauce for the steak!! So delicious!! Dipping the garlic bread in it is also tasty!!! They also sell lavender sugar!! It is DELICIOUS in a homemade lemonade!! So refreshing!! It is also great conversation with dinner guests!! I also enjoyed the aglio olio e pepperoncino mix!! Ooooooh my!! It was sooooo delicious with good warm bread right out of the oven!!! I also made the mix with spaghetti noodles! Add some hot Italian Sausages and you've got yourself a quick meal and super delicious!!! Soooooo many spices. Soooooo many choices. Soooooo many meals to explore!!! I will definitely be back for more!!! BTW, this place is Napa, inside The Oxbow Public Market!!! If you're in the area, check this place out!

    Omg so many spices

    UNIQUE SALTS, SUGARS, SPICES and more! Located within the Oxbow public market in Napa, this cute little shop made me come back THREE times during my short stay. WHITE TRUFFLE SALT: you can buy this by the glass jar or $8/oz. When they open the large bulk jar to scoop your portion out, you can smell the truffles immediately all the way down to the doors! Oh the AROMA is amazing. If you pack this in your suitcase, it will make all your clothes smell like truffles. Not a bad thing, but it was so strong that I had to take it out (and gave it with my sister who lives nearby) and went back and bought a whole glass bottle, which was sealed. I use it on eggs, potatoes, zucchini...it's delicious! NORTHWEST SALMON RUB: I bought a few ounces of this rub and made salmon when we got back. This slightly sweet and salty rub turned a boring meal into something more exciting! WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY SUGAR: cookies, cupcakes, pancakes, ice cream, strawberries. So many uses for this! There were so many other cool items at this place. Whether you're a chef or just like to eat, this place has some nice things to entice your taste buds!

    Wow! you don't have to travel the world in search of spices, Whole Spice brings the world to you. "Trendy" spices such as smoked paprika and a few rare sea salts are available as well as spice rubs and flavored sugars are found here too. I have never even heard of or used some of these spices, like Dukkah, Zhug or Phoron, and I was surprised they even carry Pink Curing Salt, which has other aliases, or its more familiar abbreviation, TCM(tinted curing mix) an additive used in the charcuterie world which keeps meats from oxidation and looking bright and appetizing(hot dogs, ham, corned beef, etc.) Step aside kosher salt and black pappercorns, there's a lot more interesting seasonings in town!...ALOHA!!!

They sell curated food products from gourmet balsamic vinegar, crackers, popcorn, flavored olive oils, jams, and of course. We decided to try the bourbon latte and white rabbit. They have a variety of flavors but the bourbon latte caught my eye. Me not realizing that it felt like summer outside during springtime, we ordered both drinks hot. Sidenote, the drinks do come iced as well. In addition to our drinks, I bought lemon curd jam and rosè jelly. There was only one person working when we were there but we didn't wait long for our drinks which was a big plus. Aside from that, the bourbon latte was very tasty and I loved the fact that the bourbon syrup wasn't too overpowering. Next time I go, I'm definitely getting it iced.

Worst $11 of my life. There's not a lot of great matcha places in all of 707 (Benicia, Vallejo, Fairfield, etc) and this experience had to be the most expensive and least inviting..with the least flavoring. It was straight milk with a dash of matcha. I asked for caramel and I taste nothing.

I subscribed to their emails and recently got the important news that their new store opened on Main Street and only a few blocks away from the Napa farmer's market. The store is very modern with wood floors, large windows and lots of light. They don't carry all the beans online but they do carry a good amount. I got some special black beans (Frigik Negro de Vara), very pretty green split peas and a new rare variety that goes bad fast (Flor De Junio bean) and a special fresh tumeric spice (see photos). I'm excited to try the new items. It is nice that they have dried Porcini mushrooms and morel mushrooms you can use in their bean soup. The porcini mushrooms are the brand that Rancho Gordo recommends and you can get 1.43 Oz for $19. They have interesting high quality spices and I bought a tumeric. They had samples of cooked beans. The ladies were friendly at the counter. I'm definitely returning to get more products!

I found out about the pickled vegetables from a Rancho Gordo email stating that theirs was the best. They had a small container for $10 in the fridge by the pound. They had a number of gourmet sandwiches that you can't find anywhere else. My husband loves porchetta sandwiches from Sausalito at the Joinery. That's why we had to come here when we found out that they had porchetta sandwiches freshly made. They also sell raw porchetta and porchetta shoulder for 16 and 10 respectively. We opted to buy the cooked porchetta for $20 a pound. The staff member instructed us to bake it at 250° in the loosely wrapped foil for 15 minutes to freshen it up.
