I met sal one day and he told me to check out his place and luckily I had an absolute pleasure to visit Granel! Every single person that worked there made sure I knew how to do everything, ensured I had the most help I really loved it. On top of that the price for a pound of seasoning is so good! I didn't know there were so many spices to choose from, I got spirulina and hibiscus flowers as well. They have pure vanilla and cinnamon for bakers and all the seasonings you could imagine for the chefs and cooks it was truly a dream. P.S I'll be back when I run out of seasoning. read more

As a person native born to Houston, but having lived and explored much of the world, one of my favorite things to do is to invite friends to go on a walking tour with me, of the area around the Houston Farmer's Market on Airline. Many years run by the Canino family, as a co-op with local farmers. And when they retired a group of Houstonians, committed to preserving it and making it as nice as possible for shopping. And it's a wonderful place to go shopping for fruits and vegetables and to eat one of the restaurants here. So I usually begin my walking tour with a trip to El Bolillo Bakery to show them the breads and then over to Granel Spices and then to El Rey meat market to show them the chorizo that I like and the freshly made chicharrones and to pointing out the most excellent Mexican restaurant just on the side El Rey. And then heading over to the farmers market proper and showing them the excellent flour tortillas that one can get at Alamo Tamales. A visit to LA Crawfish or other eateries. And also walk and talk about the different uses of the spices and maybe some tropical fruits that people might not be familiar with. It's a great half day and I love taking people around. So definitely plan to visit this area of Airline Drive and have some fun. read more

You can smell the spice from outside the store soon as you walked in you get this heap of pepper right to your mouth or nose you can't help but just kinda cough, when this happens you know they got that spicy stuff! Nice spot very very clean with exceptional helpful service, I was looking for a very spicy rub and I found ghost pepper which ran me about 12$ and Carolina reaper ran me about 18$ this is some of the hottest stuff this ground is hard to find cannot find it anywhere other than spice shops or online. If you're looking for some good spices, herbs, this is the place you wanna come. They do sell it in packages or by the pound they do have an online shop so if you live far, that'll be good for you but whatever you're looking for this placehas. . This place is on the West side of Houston right across the street from the farmers market. You can't miss it.. read more

I think this place is really cool! It had a huge selection and I absolutely loved the mixed seasonings I got as well as incense, among other things. The only reason Im not giving it a 5 star rating is just because of the kinda "mean girl" attitude I got from one of the younger employees. All I asked is which part of the wall was teas and what were just herbs because theres no label differentiating, only what each container had, and her response was to roll her eyes and say "uh..theyre all teas. Blend means tea" which mind you, doesnt say blend anywhere that I saw, and then walk off laughing with her coworker and continued to get side eye walking through the store after. I will definitely come back because I loved the products in this store, Im just disappointed in the attitude especially because it was my first time in the store. read more

YA'LL!!! I have been wanting to visit this place but it's soooo far from me. I was out and about and seen I was about 20 mins away. I stopped in and I am SO glad I did. Maddy greeted me when I first walked in. She was very sweet, and gave me a compliment on my dress. As I was looking around, Maddy was helping a customer and asked someone else to help, I told her what items I needed. She walked to the back and never came back. Oooh, but then came Angel... Angel got everything that I needed. He was awesome to assist me. He was helpful and worked very efficiently to get me in and out. I can't wait to try the teas I bought. I promise you, they have SUCH A HUGE selection of teas. If you're looking for any tea you can't find anywhere else, I can almost guarantee you they have it here. And the customer service is literally top tier. I can't wait to go back and grab more teas on my list. They are super reasonably priced. Please stop by, you won't regret it. Promise you won't. read more

EXCELLENT QUALITY. I was searching for nettle leaves and dandelion root, and I couldn't be happier! After struggling with low-quality, dusty products from Amazon, seeing the herbs in person was a breath of fresh air. The quality is excellent--no broken pieces or fillers. Most herbs are $15 for 4 oz, which is reasonable for the quality. I'll definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommend! read more

One of the clerks behind the desk was so rude it was sad. From the moment I walked into the store she was unfriendly. This was my first time in the store and again she was absolutely unkind didn't want to help me with my purchase. Unfortunately I needed the merchandise for an important event, but I will never set foot in that store again. I would hate to think my appearance or skin tone would be an issue for this person, but I'm left to no other thought because I've never entered the store before. Needless to say it's not important because I will not retu read more

Granel Spice Market - Herbs & Spices Near Me - Houston, Texas

I randomly came across Granel in a social media video (don't remember which) but i saw spice market and was intrigued. I needed some specialty spices and was tired of hopping from store to store and since I'm new to spices didn't want to start online. They measure and package everything for you, which is great and keeps things sanitary. For the most part the items are a minimum of $5 for an ounce. The person that assisted me was aware of product placement whixh made locating items efficient but would try to multitasking and at times slow down the process. Im not sure the happy medium because at times I was also double checking my list to make sure i had everything. Not bad experience, except I was on a time schedule and at one point she went to the back to get a product and was gone for an extended period of time. Got home and one of my spices was mislabeled. I took a guess based on what I had requested. And one product requested was missing. I had over 20 items but because it was all kept with the cashier/assistance no way of knowing ahead of time. Otherwise great shop, great layout, everything smelled wonderful. I've already started using some of the products. Can't wait to use more. read more

Everything you need holistically for any situation. My aunt spent $250 or more I spent maybe $100 and my cousin spent maybe $170 at least. Everything from cooking herbs, healing teas, healing crystals, sage sticks, smudge sticks, Himalayan salt rope, jewlry, books and more. If your struggling with cancer or diabetes, high blood pressure or you want to detox please either look this place up online or drop you won't be disappointed. The only thing, this spot had every saltnin the world but no celtic salt. Other than that I'm all good read more

I can't speak about there spices because I have not bought any of them but I can speak about their herbs. I bought about 5 different herbs from Granel and the freshness is poor. I bought some of the same herbs from an online source, Starwest Botanicals, and there was no comparison. Starwest's herbs looked, smelled and tasted great whereas Granel's herbs were lacking in color, smell and taste. read more

Great help, lots of choices and everything seemed pretty fresh. If you are looking for bulk spices this would be a great place to go. It seemed like they had unique items you might not be able to find at the grocery store read more

Granel Spice Market - Purple sand to put out my smudge sticks (rosemary, Jupiter sticks) smokes. - Herbs & Spices Near Me - Houston, Texas

Cutest little bodega on the corner. Love that it's minority and female owned. I was there for herbs but lots of other accompanying items as well....candles, sage, seasonings, food items. Nice concept but expensive in my book. I guess when you think about it, aren't all herbs a rip off? Barks of trees, flowers and leaves you can pick for yourself somewhere....lol. Anyways, the ladies were friendly and helpful. But $5 is the minimum purchase for an ounce. Side note, many herbs are sold across the street at the Houston Farmer's market for cheaper...less overhead. Pine needles were $12. That seemed a bit price gaugey even during an inflation but I bought them anyways and was happy to have found what I needed. read more

I visited this spice market years ago, before it was Granel, and I wasn't drawn back until Yelp released a list of top spiritual shops in the US. And Granel made the list! https://blog.yelp.com/2020/10/the-top-20-spiritual-shops-in-the-usa If you ever dropped into the neighboring biz El Bolillo, then you probably took notice of Granel. Next time, stop in! They have so many spices, dried herbs, incense, soaps, prayer candles, gems and stones, and Mexican imports, like aprons, kitchenware, toys, gadgets, and more. If you're into any of this, go. Especially before a full or new moon. They have all sorts of goodies to 'cleanse' your home and refresh its vibe. :) read more

This spice market is a life saver. It has spices of all kinds to cook with & it also has herbal teas for whatever ails you. It's my go to place for my hormonal tea & it works !!! The staff is knowledgeable on all that they sell. It's worth the drive from Manvel. read more

This place is family owned. I wanted in with a long list of item I needed along with questions. Fernando was able to help guide me. They bag each spice by the ounce. Most cost about $5 others range about $40. I was creating a detox. Each bag is carefully labeled as well. I spent about $200 dollars and I'm very pleased with my purchase. All spices are authentic as well. I waited to do this so I deleted my photos. Sorry! The place was very clean and well organized. read more
