Savory Spice Shop

When it comes to knowing spices Bob and Cindy are the folks to turn to. The shop is a wonderful place to "spice up" your life with over 400 spices to choose from. They also have spices related items such as grinders and spice storage suggestions. I will be going thru my spice collection and up-dating it at the Savory Spice Shop. More...

Enjoyed the sampling of Tastin Jamaican Salsa we did at the shop on January 4, 2014. The atmosphere is that of family, the aroma of the spices will make your mouth water, and the customers are number one!

One of my favorite stores: great to actually compare the different varieties of the same spice. We've become hooked on several of the blends. I've yet to see where the staff hesitates to recommend something for whatever you're cooking-- they really upped my appreciation when I asked about seasoning for braised goat! The friendliness of the staff just makes it better. More...

Everybody is SO helpful and knowledgeable. They can answer questions on what form spices come in (whole, ground, etc.), Great combinations and new ideas and recipes. Whether you are totally new to spices and are just trying one or two things or if you are a seasoned cook, restocking your pantry, they treat as each customer as though they are the most important one in the shop!

They have it organized by country/style so it gives you great ideas on how to expand your spice collection . The staff is very helpful! My favorite product is their Hawaiian Red Salt.

Can't believe I've never reviewed this awesome shop before, because it's my go-to for quality spices in North Raleigh!  Lafayette Village is a perfect location for this charming and unique spice shop.  Today I picked up some organic cumin, hot mustard powder, bay leaves and whole nutmeg (if you've never grated your own, you're missing out!).They are always super friendly and helpful.  It's fun to explore and get ideas.  They even have inexpensive recipe kits with all the spices you need to make that particular recipe.  Lots of great gift ideas also.TIP:  Get on their email list and tell them your birthday month!

Love this spice shop, located at Lafayette Village. First time here and very knowledgeable and friendly workers explained that the red labeled jars are for smelling, tasting before you buy. They have so many spices from various Nations and it's organized well. Lots of regulars come in as they have a loyalty program you can sign up for. The spices are priced by the ounce or whatever amount you desire so it's great place to experiment to see which ones work for you or in a recipe. I tried out a pesto parmesan garlic spice and loved it. They also have rubs and oil extract as well as various salt spices to check out. Can't wait to go back and try some more! More...

So glad my daughter-in-law told me about this spice shop. I quit another spice shop after receiving an email that painted people with a broad brush and was just plain bullying. Love their spice blends. Found some new favorites. I also love their individual spices as well. They will be a must stop place when I venture into Raleigh. More...

This is my go-to place to pick up spices, herbs, extracts, and related. I keep a list of what I need, and make the half-hour trip up to this store when I'm getting low on a few things. It is the only place I will go for these items. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and they encourage you to try everything by shaking a little bit into your hand, and licking it, then throwing the rest onto the floor (really!) so the resulting dusting gets stepped on all day, releasing a nice aroma. The spices combos are creative and are way beyond what I would think of myself. A couple of favorites are Fine Alderwood Smoked Sea Salt, which is salt with a delicious smokey aroma and taste, and an amazing addition to many foods. Also the Bourbon Barrel Smoked Black Pepper, which is worth buying just to smell. A huge variety of salts and peppers, BBQ rubs, real cinnamon, cocoas, herb blends - many you can get with or without salt. I probably have only about two dozen items from there, which is a tiny fraction of what is available. Everything is fresh, potent, and makes a huge difference in the foods I cook. Even if you don't prepare involved recipes, and prefer to keep things simple, adding the right spices and herbs can make a routine dish an eventful pleasure. Highly recommended! More...

Review for the Buttermilk & Buffalo Glazed Wings Recipe + MixSavory Spice Shop makes ridiculously amazing spice mixes for seasoning fresh food and also gives crazy awesome recipes to go with the spices they mix for you. (Check out my other review for the Jamaican Jerk Wings) I bought the Buffalo Wing Sauce Seasoning (divided) from them over 6 months ago and just got around to opening it up.Deciding that I would try their recipe, I prepped a batch last night. Not having buttermilk on hand I used a faux-buttermilk recipe (milk and lemon juice mixed together and then let it sit for a few minutes) and liberally covered all the wings with the buttermilk mixture after adding a hint of black pepper + seasoning to the skin.Wings then went into the fridge to marinate overnight for 15 hours. After draining off the excess buttermilk but not patting it dry and then throwing it on the grill, I let it cook for 28 minutes and it was PERFECT. Also its very spicy so only try them if you really do like hot wings. Well recommended.Seasoning: Buffalo Wing Sauce SeasoningMarinade Buttermilk & Buffalo Glazed WingsPortions: 3/4 cup of faux-buttermilk, 4 whole wings, 1/4 bag of seasoning. Marinade for 10-20 hours in fridgeCooking time: 35-30 minutes on grill More...

I am a regular here. The blends are excellent, you can purchase very small quantities, they carry true (Ceylon) cinnamon (the only one that works in hot tea) and they have a loyalty program to earn store credit with purchases. In fact for 3 years my gifts to the cooks in the family come from Savory Spice shop.  So to make a very long story short, there was a pretty significant overcharge that took a week to clear up. Cindy Jones, the owner, went overboard. She is the most extremely customer service oriented person I think I have ever met. I don't care where you are in Wake County or NC for that matter. If you want spices and great service and prices go here. They will serve you well and treat you right. More...

Wandering around this store is pretty much guaranteed to inspire you in the kitchen. I used to be a regular at the GSO Savory Spice, but then I moved earlier this year and needed a new place to get my spice fix. I will ride all the out to this one from where I live in DTR, even in a bad summer thunderstorm.The thing that puts Savory Spice way above comparable shops is the assortment of spices they offer combined with the independence they give the consumer in terms of quantities that may be purchased. I hate when I have to buy someone else's blend, and I don't always want to invest in a big bottle of spice - I'd rather diversify, and only keep on hand what I use, so that everything stays fresh.  Savory Spice's patience earns them more business in the long-term, and I'm happy they appreciate this.The staff is helpful, though I didn't think they were necessarily used to someone my age knowing what she's doing in the kitchen - they showed me za'atar like it was a revelation, but I already had a jar of it I'd bought from them months ago.  Still, I don't think it's fair to fault them for this, especially if it tends to breed new spice enthusiasts and kitchen adventures.

Have never been to a store like The Savory Spice Store before moving to NC. The staff is very knowledgable about all of the spices, rubs, seasonings that are available. Another nice feature they have recipes throughout the store to give you some idea of what you can make with the different concoctions that are for sale. The store is set up with in different sections based upon what you will be cooking, very easy to understand the layout, and again any of the employees are more then happy to help you out, discuss what you are looking for and help you make the right purchase. Another great feature is you can buy the spices in any size hat you want. They will weigh out your spice so that you don't have a shelf full of old expired spices because you can only buy 4 ounces at the grocery store. Every time that I go in, even just to kill time I always end up buying something. 5 star experience every time. More...

Just go in. This place is freaking amazing! You can taste and smell anything they have for sale before you buy! You can buy as low as an ounce (I think it's that) or even a pound of whatever you want and they have so much I have never heard of, but I feel like I should suddenly have! I have visited 2 times in 3 weeks and the quality is amazing for the price! They hand blend the mixes and there is no msg or random funky stuff in the herbs, spices, or oils. I bought ground mustard last time and this time I got Turkish bay leaves...a fair bag for $2, ground New Mexico green chile powder for my bestie from NM who said it is spot on and amazing and I found something that made the damn domestic goddesses sing......Worcestershire sauce powder!!!? You may say, "girl, no way, say what!?", but it's a thing and it tastes amazing. There's also a loyalty program which is super cool and I wish I could remember the details. Customer service is also amazing! Super sweet and accommodating--no pushy up your assness! Such great pricing for the quantity and quality you are getting. Stop in here especially for Christmas gifts and baking! I am so picking up the lavender sugar and different meat rubs! Come in and explore on an empty stomach so you can get prepped for lunch or dinner! More...

I am such a fan of this shop.  Sure, it's a chain, but the reason this gets 5 stars from me is the quality of the spices AND the friendly staff.  I love coming in and browsing around, trying the different spices and creating delicious meals and beverages in my mind.  I like that the staff is always helpful with suggestions and they are completely knowledgable about their product.While I have yet to purchase spices, I did purchase peppermint to use in tea.  It is really delicious and fresh.  I will likely purchase some of the flavored sugars to add to coffee or hot chocolate when I am in the area again.  It's also fun to bring out of town visitors here because you could literally spend hours in the store trying spices that you've never heard of before.  Keep up the good work!
