I spent so much time smelling and tasting a bunch before my family and I made our decision! I think my favorite was the cherry or the apple balsamic. Everything we got was fantastic, and I can't wait to come back and get more when we run out!

So glad to offer a strong thumbs up to this local Spice company. I am a cooking snob, so I take…read moreflavors very seriously, and Stuart's won me over. In today's world, spices are no longer as hard to find as they once were, from online to local ethnic grocery and beyond, there is so much to try. I really enjoy going into Stuart's and seeing new things that I should try. Getting recommendations from the staff and even, with some flavors, have a chance to smell/taste different offerings. I highly recommend stopping in and giving them a pride. It is a wonderfully calm and clean place with amazing staff and products.

I have received multiple generous gifts from my western New York-based friends over the last…read moreseveral years. Last week I received an amazing assortment of different spice combinations from Stuart's Spices. They also sent a sample of a rub with the 3 awesome baskets: habanero honey...it's delicious!! I might actually use it as a rub...if there's any left....since I've been sprinkling it in my salads. Mmmmm hmmmm!! Give me some of that hot, salty and sweet goodness to kick things up!! Can't wait to try the middle eastern varieties in my new Tagine that I'm curing right now. If I ever head to the area, I'll definitely visit the store in person. This is a GREAT place to get gifts for anyone on your list that cooks, likes to experiment with flavors/spices...or is just looking to start.

We are so fortunate to have Marilla's store in Rochester. This store is packed with good things…read morefor living our lives healthier and smarter. Are you still buying shampoo and conditioner in a bottle? I haven't purchased hair or laundry products in plastic bottles in over three years!! You're paying for WATER!! Plus, if the container isn't recycled, nothing is good about that (and if you don't think you're playing for that plastic container, guess again). Just check out her product lines. Thank you, Marilla!

This store is like a dream for those of us looking to buy less plastic. Marilla's started with a…read morelocation in Geneva and has recently expanded to the South Wedge. I met Marilla herself, who gave me a tour of the small shop and explained how everything worked. This store carries several types of products. Bulk spices, coffee, tea, and candy; reusable/ecofriendly household products like soap bags and kitchen scrubbers; and big refill tubs of liquid items like face wash, hand soap, shampoo, and the like. They have jars you can purchase, or bring your own jar/container. Either way, the container is weighed and then you are charged for the weight of the product. There are fancier jars to buy for a few dollars, or use one of the recycled jars on the free shelf (they are cleaned and sanitized before being set out). Marilla also accepts clean, clear jars (no label) if you have them to donate. I look forward to refilling some household products here instead of buying one more plastic hand soap bottle or spice jar. Check this place out!

This is a must go to store when at Southgate plaza. I actually came here die unfilled tea bags…read morebecause I bought loose tea, but they have a lot of different flavor options to choose from. Always enjoy talking with the employees to see what new things they have as well. If you are not into teas, they have Spices reasonably priced and soup and dip mixes. You can spend some time in this store. We are usually here once every month or two. Oh and they always have some cookies for sale as well. So much to look at and choose from to purchase.

I come here regularly for my spices and dessert dips!…read more This place is located in the southgate plaza on the Applebee's / Hallmark store side. It's a cute little quaint store packed with goodies for teas, desserts, soups, spices, everything! If you're using a credit card - you need to spend 10$+, otherwise cash is the choice for under 10$. However not difficult to do if you treat yourself all the time with cookies made here with the cutest designs! This particular trip, I was getting some lavender for making lavender simple syrup. If this is not known, not all lavender plants are culinary lavender, Milly's sells culinary lavender! It smells so good and fresh. I treated myself to the cutest, tastiest, lemon designed sugar cookie.

When I started to inquire why I wasn't informed, after saying about three words, he shouted at me, "What do you want me to do about it?! I just told you!" Then, he hung up on me. What horrible customer service and integrity. I almost never write a negative review, but thought I should save others from grief, disrespect, and disappointment.

You've got to love this place. I have been out for two Cheese Workshops now and have to say it was…read morea delightful experience each time packed with great information on everything from making amazing artisanal cheeses to how and why to pick the proper ingredients and know where they come from. The farmers (brothers Trystan and Max Sandvoss) have certainly put their time in as to how to run a clean farm and properly care for all of the creatures (goats) living there. You can tell they take care to make sure each animal is properly cared for with good diets, clean shelters, and open rotated grazing spaces. As for the cheese. If you love cheese (even if you just like cheese), you MUST try ALL cheese coming out of this Creamery. I have yet to meet one that I don't like. Even if you don't like goat cheese at all, try the Chèvre. It is so ridiculously light, creamy, and NOT "GOATY"; it's exactly the way it should be. Because they take such care in making sure this cheese is made properly and fresh you are ensured a great cheese every time. New to Farm this year is a Dairy CSA with several options to choose from: Full Dairy, Half, Cheese, and Yogurt shares available (detailed on their website). The milk comes from their family's farm down the road and is Whole (cream on the top) Jersey Milk; the yogurt is from this milk, yum! If you decide to take the workshop, it is a day well lived and worth every penny. You leave with a boatload of knowledge AND a cheese making kit. We received yogurt and granola for breakfast, a home-cooked meal for lunch (made by their mom- how cute is that?!!), each portion made with a different kind of their cheese (including one you make during the class!), dessert, AND cheese samples while you are taking the class! Get to this place and check it out. You won't regret it.

I was at Letchworth State Park's Fall Festival and goats caught my eye (it's a craft festival)…read more After wandering over to take some cute pictures, I realized it was a local cheese vendor when a friendly face asked if we wanted to try some. Finding out that the very people I was talking to were the owners/farmers and goats were some of the cheese contributors was a highlight to my day! The cheese was AMAZING. I had to stop myself from buying them out, perhaps it was lucky I was returning to Washington, DC the next day which prevented me or no one else would have been able to try such great FRESH cheese. They did provide me with a reusable cooler bag for me to take my cheeses on my flight back home. My cheeses made it back to the District and my husband, who is a big goat cheese aficionado, loved them. I haven't been a big goat cheese fan in the past but First Light's hits one out of the park. The next time I am in Buffalo I will be checking out First Light's market schedule to pick up more and I hope to take one of their cheese making classes too! A bonus: they take credit cards including American Express!
