This shop is charming (and as someone who hasn't lived In Springfield for many years - unexpected!) Their selection of tea, porcelain ware, and other odds and ends are lovely. It was also one of the few shops open on Sunday. We loved the atmosphere - inviting and warm. The man behind the counter was really friendly. There were a couple of samples and they were tasty - Nutella and Jasmine. Look forward to going back next time I'm in town. read more

Went in here on a whim. What a nice store, with good prices and beautiful items and excellent teas and spices. I bought some jasmine tea pearls; wonderful aroma. I also bought chopsticks and my sister bought spices and tea. The spices were very aromatic and the prices were excellent. So sorry. No pictures. read more

Wonderful little shop full of tea impedimenta, my favorite type of impedimenta! They have a great selection of tea/coffee cups, handmade pottery mugs, tea-brewing bottles, and the like. The items I hadn't seen before were a cat shaped individual tea pot and cup set, as well as a similar type of individual tea service that came with two cups! Very handy for we married tea consumers. Their selection is tea strainers and reusable tea bags was also notable. The tea and spice selection was really good. We tried a tea blend (blueberry, chocolate, Kenyan black tea) that was very tasty. Definitely recommend if you're looking for loose leaf tea. They also carry Puka, which is a favorite bagged tea for me. read more

This place is amazing. Knowledgeable, friendly staff. More spices and teas than you know what to do with. Merchandise that is actually helpful, quality, and fun to look at. And you can sample their tea of the day! Or order your own you are wanting. There is a herbalist on staff who can even recommend and make blends for you. Definitely will be back next time I am in town. read more

This was one of the few places open when we found ourselves driving through town and pausing in this upcoming neighborhood. I picked up a pack of chai spices and wow, it's maybe the best I've had at home so far. I wish I lived closer because I'd be addicted by now. The store has such a lovely variety of all things tea, including tea cups and pots! read more

Great selection of teas, spices, and unique gift ideas! Staff is kind & helpful. Chill vibes overall. read more

Cute store, smells great as soon as you walk in. Huge selection of teas, spices, and accessories. Found a great bamboo tea caddy that I can leave in the cup while the water heats in the microwave. Lots of cute tea pots, and found some really good dark chocolate with sea salt to go with a dessert wine. Unique specialty foods, etc. Highly recommend checking it out after you grab food at Van Gogh's...great food. read more

Quaint little tea shop with lots of fun items and great tea selection. We also found some unique interesting chocolate bars while browsing. Glad to see a place like this and recommend stopping in. read more

Chabom Teas & Spices - Herbs & Spices Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Bottom line up front: if you adore tea and spices you will love this store. Drop your phone right now and go. The rest of the story: I wandered in the doors looking for something to soothe my overstimulated soul and to brush away the detritus of our torn and frightful world... I wandered back out 30 minutes later with a hazy smile on my face, a bag full of loose tea packets, and a zip-up hoodie that proudly proclaims me as a tea and spice aficionado (not a true statement but crap, I have the shirt so who is going to question me?). I fully recommend that you spend equal time sticking your nose in each and every tea jar and getting a tea buzz. Trust me, I'm a pro and I have the hoodie to prove it. (As an aside, if you're into spices this is your place. I didn't even know what half the jars were, but I'm of the belief you could cook up a witchy brew. I saw a sign for Spanish saffron too, so pull out your paella pan and get down with your bad self.) read more

Always a delight to walk into this store! It's fun to look and buy from spices and tea selections they have here! Whenever I stop by I always order an iced tea that hits the spot. All their tea is organic and high quality! read more

I loved this! I'm a huge fan of loose leaf tea, first discovering it through Teavana, then checking out Argo in Chicago, and purchasing lots of loose leaf tea through Adagio online. So when I saw a Chabom Tea & Spices vendor table at the recent Girls Just Wanna Run 5K + 10K run, I had to check it out. There were free samples and handouts that encouraged me to stop in, so later that day, my sister and I were in the store and loving it! Tea & Spices is definitely appropriate. While there's a large selection of quality loose leaf tea, there's even more spices. I'm so happy I found this place, because I love to cook with unique spices and it's hard to find them all in grocery stores. There are also other things like candles, soaps, etc. It's a good place to just stop in and check out. My sister and I ordered an ice tea brewed from one tea selection she picked out, and I can't remember exactly which one it was, but it was perfectly refreshing for a hot day post 10K. The to-go cups Chabom uses are made from sugar cane fibers, so they're biodegradable and the barista suggested I not reuse it too many times. He then wrapped up the tea packets he made so my sister and I could reuse them later that day for another cup. All their tea is very potent, so it can easily make more than 1 cup, which is awesome. I also bought some loose leaf pomegranate green tea myself. Unlike Teavana or Adagio, you can buy however little or lot of tea you like, so I took 2 oz. I love Chabom, I can't wait to go back for more, and also to try their sister shop, Cafe Cusco, another time! read more

Whether you're a tea-buying expert or a relative newcomer to beverages conceived by soaking leaves in hot water, you'll likely find plenty to love at this unique addition to the C-Street business scene. The staff really excel at explaining things in a way even novices can understand, which goes a long way toward encouraging comfort in what might otherwise be a disorienting environment. In addition to their great selection of loose-leaf offerings, they also sell all the accoutrements you need to successfully brew drinks you'll enjoy, as well as a healthy selection of niche and hard-to-find spices. That said, arguably the coolest aspect of their business model is the subscription service they offer, which delivers a variety of different teas to your doorstep each month. It's basically Dollar Shave Club for beverages, and at $15 per month, it's beyond affordable considering the quantity and quality offered. I'm a coffee drinker by nature, so my experience with this business has solely been based on gifts purchased for others - which they wrapped for me at no extra charge. My results have always been extremely well-received, and I have every reason to believe yours will, too. read more

This is by far one of the coolest stores in Springfield. Amazing selection of spices, I don't buy my spices and seasonings anywhere else! And the TEA!!!!! Such a great tea selection, they always have samples out so you can try new things, and the staff is super knowledgeable on all the teas they carry. Also a great place to shop for tea sets and fun gifts. Really can't say enough good things about this place!! read more

This place not only has a great selection of teas and spices, but the prices are great too! They also carry a lot of tea infusers, including infuser cups.also know their stuff. I came in needing a remedy for an upset stomach, and they directed me to just the right blend. They were really nice, too. I'm definitely going back. read more

One of the best shops of its kind that I have ever been in. I consider my self pretty knowledgeable on spices and teas but Chaboms blew me away. Their inventory is truly amazing. The staff is amazing and being able to sample the tea before you buy a lot is a great touch. They also have other cool items for sale so if you are looking for a truly unique food related gift then I would start looking here first. read more

I am excited to have this new shop in town, so I have been singing their praise to everyone I know. The shop is well-kept and the staff are incredibly friendly. They have a nice selection of both teas and spices, all good quality from what I've seen, and their staff seems very knowledgeable. You can get a cup of any of their loose-leaf teas either hot or iced and they have some small food items and pastries as well, which I plan to sample in the future. My initial excitement for this store was to not have to travel to Branson or order online for my spices. However, after shopping here we are equally excited about the teas. We have been frequenters of Teavana until now, but find the teas here to be just as good, with what's probably a better selection, not chock full of froo-froo tisanes. On top of that, you aren't required to buy a minimum of two ounces like you would at Teavana, and the prices are considerably cheaper. Definitely stop in and check this place out, if just to browse. We will be frequent visitors I'm sure, and hope to see this new shop staying in Springfield for a long time. read more

One of my favorite places in Springfield! The people in there are wonderful and the atmosphere is great. (And that's the tea )

Everytime I go here, I'm surprised by their selection and variety. I've found spices here that I can't find anywhere else in Springfield and at a reasonable cost too! They have spices, teas, essential oils, soaps, salts and several other smaller things. You'll be amazed how many things you can think of cooking once you walk in here! The ladies behind the counter were very ver friendly and I had a great time talking to them. It will probably cost you cheaper to buy most spices here than from a store and also you can buy how much you want without having to worry about never using it again or having it go to waste! read more

Awesome spot for college students on a budget to grab a drink with a friend! $2 for a cup of hot tea (and that's with tax)! They also have a punchcard, so that's rad read more

Positives: --Good selection of loose leaf tea at better prices than Teavana, and close to its quality --Nicely kept store --Friendly employees Negatives: --Extremely overpriced on certain items. Double check the price before buying in bulk for anything other than tea (i.e., $1.50 per ounce of falafel mix versus $.35~ per ounce at Mama Jeans) --Falafel mix did not taste like falafels...had to rush to Mama Jeans and buy their mix to save the meal --Limited helpful tea brewing and spices information. No guidance on brewing length/temperature for various teas, and no recipes available for their high priced mixes so you've got to wing it with ratios. --Limited refunds/exchanges (no refunds/exchanges on spices/mixes even if just bought) read more

Chabom has this relaxing feel to not just the building itself but also the products inside. I love the option of having hot and/or iced tea made right in front of me. The staff are friendly. A wide variety of spices, herbs and of course, the teas. Prices are easy on the wallet. I noticed that you can even purchase gifts for that special someone or loved one. I definitely recommend this place to college students who want a nice place to chill. read more

This store is a wonderful treat for tea and spice lovers. They have expansive collections of loose leaf tea, spices, dried chilies, fancy sugars, and more varieties of salt than I knew existed. A fantastic store to get lost in! read more

I am new to the loose tea drinking thing. This store is just what I needed. The staff is very helpful! I can go in and try a little or a lot of a certain tea. They carry bulk spices at reasonable prices. They even offer a group of restaurant quality spices and give a portion of proceeds back to the Victory Trade School! They carry these beautifully crafted tea pots and cups. They have hand made soaps. Great store to pick up gift items too! read more

This store is amazing. They have a huge selection of boxed teas as well as jars of spices and loose leaf teas that can be bagged. They also have an assortment of pre mixed spices and so far my favorite is the fajita seasoning! Today when they did not have any bagged up she offered to go ahead and make me some which was very much appreciated. Very nice folks here, I highly recommend it. read more

I found it! (Ugh! To find out it's been here almost four years!) What an wonderful place; whether you're a tea "snob" or a novice. Wonderful lady runs the shop, very knowledgeable and helpful. I love loose leaf tea. Order a lot online but will be making this a regular stop every time I come to Springfield. There is lots to love here. Excellent place to get a gift for young or old; lots of goodies to choose from. An amazing place. A must! Thanks. read more

I am in love with this store. That's all there is to it. I make it a point to visit them on small business Saturday, because they always have awesome perks and specials... But it's so nice to pop an, look around at some of the cool merchandise, and have them Brew you a fantastic cup of tea. Hot, cold, whatever type and level of sweetener that you want... It's fantastic. If you drink tea at The Mudhouse, definitely give shabam a try. A thousand times more social, and a whole lot more product to shop for. And honestly, tea aside, I have spent so much money and spices here it's ridiculous. They have rows and rows of bulk spices, seasonings,... Anything you could possibly want. Imagine the spice wreck at Mama Jean's. They have all kinds of interesting salts and cheese powders... Just interesting meat stuff. I don't believe I've ever wants sat down and waited for my tea to be done here. I'm always looking around at all the neat merchandise. There's a lot of local beauty products, food, essential oils and accessories... It's just a really really interesting store. Follow them on Facebook so you can keep up with the sales and specials and new products to. I also downloaded the Towny app just for them because they were offering 15 or 20% off your purchase... Which is a great deal at a place like this. Anyway, it's a neat place that makes it worth a trip to Commercial Street. Highly recommend! read more

Great little Shop on Commercial Street with A LOT to offer! You can get as little or as much as you need in the way of herbs, spices, and loose teas! Oh my they do have boxed teas too! From cups to pots and tea strainers you are all set. They have some grocery items as well. Just add your fresh veggies and meat (grocery store or Farmer's Market) and you are all set! Prices are reasonable and the staff is so helpful! read more

This place has so many spices and teas..it's crazy awesome. They offer a tea service where you can try the loose leaf teas (hot or iced) before you buy some to take home. The prices are amazing and the selection is vast. The thing I really love about this place is not only is it a locally owned mom n pop shop but they also support and promote other locally owned businesses. You can find wonderful gifts there that are made by local artists. If you haven't been in this establishment, make sure you go. Even if you don't like tea, you'll be amazed at what they have to offer. read more
