Bucks

A great experience and a true gem in Olympia! Staff are always super helpful and friendly, I recommend asking them if they have anything new or anything that they think is exciting!

Some of our favorites:
-African curry
-seafood blend
-Smoked salts (applewood, mesquite, ect)
-Cocktail bitters
-MSG (ramen)

A REALLY SHOCKING FUN THING
Dried spilanthes. Just try one, you’ve never had anything like it.

I have some food sensitivities and the gentleman who helped me was fabulously professional and patient. I ended up with sriracha sea salt. They had a huge selection of spices, cleansing bundles and sticks, jarred products by local makers, and spice accessories among other things. A true local treasure. I will definitely be going back to fill my pantry.

Great spice shop. Products are of superior quality. Highly recommended.

Want to know the secret of green magic? Stop into this amazing, beautiful spice shop and Scott will tell you! Ask him about the shop's history too. It's fascinating.

Only place in Oly I could find that can get (or even knew about) the weird set of eclectic ingredients I've been looking for. Good prices, friendly and knowledgeable proprietor. Highly recommend for your culinary spice needs.

Buck's always has every spice I am looking for, if not they can order it all! They make great blends, have kitchen tools and when I'm too exhausted to think of what to make for dinner, their facebook page has tons of easy and delicious ideas! The shop manager, Scott is a wealth of information when it comes to spices (and music too).... Anne left the shop in great hands, her presence, wisdom, and influence is still front and center!

I love Buck’s so much! Every time I go in, the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and they really know their stuff! They have some spices that aren’t common in major grocery stores and it really helps me because I love cooking Indian and Thai food. They always have black cardamom which is a must for making garam masala from scratch. They also have flavored honey, pastes, mustards, syrups, preserves and other flavor bombs to add to dishes. Really high quality stuff and some of the nicest people working there. Also: IT SMELLS GOOOOD!

Came in with a huge list of spices and the gentlemen in there were so kind, helpful, and efficient. The prices were also super fair. Highly, highly recommend. The store is exciting, the staff is exceptional, and the spices are amazing.

Nice shop that is typical Olympia. Do be sure to try their green African curry. It is one of the best preparation I have had. Mildly spicy and lacking the excessive salt of most commercial concoctions while bursting with flavor. Their spices are top notch and the will grind your purchase if needed.

Awesome spice shop in historic Olympia. Staff is very kind and seem to enjoy working there. They make many of the blends in house, and once you step in to sniff you won't want to leave!

Bucks had some of the more esoteric spices that I needed for a few recipes. So happy they were there and had what I needed. Thanks, Bucks!

Buck's is fantastic! Great selection and super nice and knowledgeable staff. The prices are wonderful too. Even if you don't cook much, check it out. It's a fun experience!

Wonderful place for all kinds of hard to find asian spices and herbs. Indian, Chinese, Japanese and more. Prices are great too and staff is very knowledgeable.

Very friendly staff. Lots and lots of spices and herbs. Way better buying here locally than online. If they don't have the spice/herb they'll get it.

Excellent spices and blends.
Friendly, helpful, local, family-owned business.
Olympia icon.

yummy selection of spices, teas, and gourmet mixes along with helpful staff

Favorite store downtown and the best place for spices, herbs, tea and unique ingredients.

I love the variety of spices and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly!

Awesome helpful and welcoming people. Spices and blends are great. Professional sniffers welcome!

Any flavor you like. Outstanding.
