I'm big on the salt-free blends, as well as the usual suspects, of course.

The free magnets and stickers are fun, too.

Saffron is powerful and expensive. So, I added cumin, ginger and black pepper to stretch it.

Parking in University Avenue store is tight.

These are the type of people who think Miracle Whip is spicy.

I doubt Penzeys is worried about their support.

I've bought Penzeys spices for years. I used to live within walking distance of one of their stores. Their spices are excellent and I give them a gifts at Christmas.

I've droppeda couple hundreds on line or in the St Louis store since.

The gift boxes are very nice, and some of their blends are outstanding

... however I do see their items available on Amazon. I'm sure other mail-order companies also carry their products. Very high quality organic spices, but they aren't cheap.

What a great company.

They decide where to open their next store by having a "contest" where you mail in a postcard with your zip code.

Penzeys has Mural of Flavor which is wonderful! Savory has shallot salt which makes roasted veggies divine! I just got a Penzeys order of chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, & garlic granules in the other day. The mailbox smelled spicy!

Great company, great spices and herbs, great service, but most of all, terrific attitude! So for the whole renewing experience, I strongly encourage you to subscribe to their emails. It is very refreshing to have a CEO speak the truth and let the chips, etc.

When they first opened in Overland Park, I lived less than two blocks away. Always enjoyed browsing there, and picking up the recipe cards. I don’t live in the area anymore, and for most spices, I’ll buy from the organic, bulk supplies at the local coop grocery store. But, I get their newsletter, and I’ll order occasionally.
