Penzeys Spices

You will never be disappointed buying spices at Penzeys. They have an amazing selection, high quality products, things are pretty well prices, and the staff is always knowledgeable and helpful. You can buy in different sizes which is nice, and they have empty jars which I love for mixing or storing bulk purchases. Their vanilla is also top notch. 10/10 recommend.

I've been here about three times now. Great little spot. There are jars of spices you can open to see and smell, which is good for learning. I got good quality saffron for making paella, and it was a big hit. Their totally optional email list had deals worth buying, and i saved money on commonly used spices that way.

There's parking around back in an alley.

I ordered online for store pick up. The website showed how many were in stock in the store which was helpful.
As I ordered during the Christmas season a generous free gift was offered after a minimum purchase was met.

I was called later the next day and was told that my order was ready for pick up. The staff member asked me what day I was anticipating coming in to pick up. He then asked if I knew of the parking lot behind the store (accessed via the alley off of 31st). Once parked there I could walk into the store to pick up my purchase.

The store smelled amazing & I wish that I had the time to look around.
Great customer service. It was quick & easy all around from navigating the website on my cellphone to picking up in person.

Always love going here. Great selections including suggestions and recipes. Staff is always friendly and welcoming- even when we bring our little kids with. Have a great coloring station for kids!

Love Penzeys. Best spices and great variety of different ones to choose from. Prices are great for the quality. Also they are the only place in town I can find diamond kosher salt which is far superior to Morton's. The sweet curry powder is the best there is.

The whole staff, and Kathleen especially, is knowledgeable and friendly! The sales are always amazing and having the employees' guidance is so great!

Words cannot properly express my love for this store. Been to Grand Ave and Hennepin locations in The Cities, and both locations are phenomenal! Hennepin location gets a bonus for having an amazing bookstore next door.

Just went in and Kathleen helped us she was AMAZING definitely coming back

We have been long-time supporters of Penzeys and love stocking up on their spices!

They have the best salt-free seasonings. Forward is my favorite seasoning to put on avocado and nachos! Penzey's also has the best lemon pepper blend where you have a good amount of lemon without it being overpowering.

Love this place soooo many spices in one room if you like to cook this place is great sign up for their email and you will get emailed deals every week

A truly great experience! This company has all the spices you need and is willing to special-order those that they cannot keep on-site due to freshness reasons! The staff is friendly, helpful, professional, and the sort of people who are willing to give you their vast experience for free to help you with your cooking.

Also, I just found out that the company gives all of their employees election day off from work, with at least some pay, so they can all participate in American democracy!

This is exactly the sort of company I will always do business with!

Just drove up today to pick up some spices for my mom and myself. The gentleman moving in and out was very quick about getting me our order. Very much appreciated! So happy to see you're able to continue business in these strange times.

I love this store! I can’t believe the deals they are able to offer on spices. You will absolutely notice a difference between the spices you buy here and what you get at a grocery store. If you love to grill, you have to check out their grilling options.

This is a great store filled with wonderful herbs, spices, and aromas. A must-stop whenever I am in Minneapolis.

Love, love, love Penzey’s Spices! From all the assortments to the owner 😊I have my favorites: 4 peppercorn mix, vanilla, the different oreganos, basil & paprikas. If I weren’t retired I’d love to work for this company. Highest integrity in spices & business.

Love this place—the staff are always really friendly and there’s a huge selection of slices. Be prepared to buy more than you came in for. I especially love their Garam Masala blend.

They also have a really nice assortment of boxes/collections at different price points that make for great gifts!

This place is my go to for great quality spices. You walk in and are almost immediately helped by wonderful staff who clearly love their job. The carry just about every spice you would ever want and some blends that make cooking a lot easier!

Pro Tips -
THEY HAVE THEIR OWN PARKING LOT in back!! Utilize this! Especially in uptown where parking can be crazy and expensive.

Get on their mailing list - they give away a TON of spices!

Very friendly, every spice you ever needed

They have the most delightful staff that will help you find anything and give you recommendations. Sign up for their e-mail list and you start getting free spices with purchases. They are quality, and there for a bit spendier than spices at say Target... but the atmosphere is delightful and they take care of their loyal customers!
