Savory Spice Shop

Not just a spice store so much more! From the moment one walks into Savory Spice you feel welcomed with hospitality. Spices and smells are what encourages someone to really take a look at everything, from spices, to books, gifts. Staff members are well informed and there to give tours. From a small space set inside the historical, Big Chief Bottling Co. in lower downtown, this is really worth the trip and time! more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Excellent selection, high quality goods, extremely helpful staff. Prices are way better than you'd expect, considering everything else I've already stated. If you cook AT ALL, I guarantee a stop here will only help your ability and creativity. I wish all businesses were run this way. more

They (who are they?) say that a cook is only as good as the ingredients she uses. I agree. And I just can't find anything exotic in aisle 347 of the mega mart, so instead I buy my spices and herbs and spiced wine mix here. Walking into Savory is like an exotic massage for my olfactory senses. I never knew until my first visit here that regular cinnamon isn't cinnamon at all, but a cheaper rendition of one fabulous tree bark! I also discovered peppermint extract, which makes mojitos SO much easier than ripping apart expensive mint leaves! Easier to drink too, and doesn't leave mint leaves dangling from your teeth. Go - discover - smell. Oh, did I mention they're cheaper too? Yup. You can buy the stuff in baggies and refill containers. Pros: Great quality, service and value Cons: No location in the west suburbs more
