Would 1000% recommend this place. I went in the store not exactly sure what to get for a little gift box idea. I was helped immediately and basically the entire time with recommendations and testers. They went above my expectations and were the sweetest people ever. Great vibes all around. They even provided a box and cute ribbon for the top and put it all together for me. Very very happy with the entire experience and will be coming back. :) read more

Such a cute little store with a huge variety. The lady that was working was so friendly & had us try several samples. I opted to get small seasoning packets and they are great. They have so many choc treats and gifts for special occasions. My husband tried the chocolate covered pretzels and he loved them. Please support local and check it out. There is something for everyone. They also sell Dubai chocolate if anyone is looking. read more

I'm going to honestly and genuinely from the bottom of my heart rate this place 5 stars, The seasonings are so amazing, not your typical store bought stuff, but more of a personalized seasonings galore. Terri and I chat every once in a while when I go there and see her. I've also met Nancy in person, she is the sweetest. The customer service is amazing. Very personable. I love the steak seasoning, Cajun seasoning, paprika and even salt free lemon pepper from there. Ever so often, I get one of those small sample bags for about $1 or $2 and try it to see if I like it, pretty much all the seasonings are a hit! Anyway, I have been going here for years and decided to see if they were open tonight, which made me want to leave a review too. I feel like I owe that to them. Their stuff is a secret weapon for hosting and cooking! Try it out! read more

I found this shop while looking for a gift for a particular friend. I'm so happy I found it! There were a few less than common spices that my friend enjoyed. I also picked up some hard to find candies I enjoy. To top it off, the shopkeeper packaged my items beautifully, no additional wrapping needed! I'm very impressed and will return. read more

This place really adds flavor to Lawrenceville's downtown area, with the ethnic/Middle Eastern spices and candies. I stopped by on the way to my car after eating at Jose's UYE at Local Republic (which was awesome, by the way). Two men in the store explained to me how the items were priced and showed me where to get the clear plastic bags that would be needed to take home the varied items in the store. I didn't get any spices, only because after looking at how they priced by scoop, mental math alerted me that I was probably better off going to YDFM. But I got pulled in by the dried fruits (which I can probably find for cheaper at YDFM too). I got some anyway, because I just wanted to have stuff to munch on for fun later on. I got dried peaches, apricots, kiwi, and pineapple. High quality dried fruit. I also got these almonds covered in lemon and orange cream. The afternoon was warm though and they ended up melting in the car. Keep that in mind. But they were delicious and nothing like the teeth-breaking Jordan almonds that they resemble (due to their pastel exterior). If I am in the area, I would stop by to get some almonds to snack on as I stroll around the square. But the truth of the matter is that I am rarely in Lawrenceville. People who are there though should support this small business. read more

Walking by it looks like an old fashioned candy shop but upon entering found there is a bit more going on in here like a large table full of random spices and seasonings (now we're talkin). Want a taste go ahead have one or a few, prices are by the scoop "o.k. let me have a scoop of pickling spices, steak and the lime pepper please." Look around and you will find a handful of soaps, cooking oils in flavors like porcini and black or white truffle and a bit of tea. Have a sweet tooth candied fruit , almonds plain or in flavors like lemon cream and my favorite pumpkin spice can be purchased in snack sized portions. The pieces on the wall are for sale and you may even put in a bid should something catch your eye the lady running the shop is a local artist and her works are on these walls. read more

I kinda stumbled across Nancy's Candy & Spice store. When you open the door, man the smell of the spices grabs hold of your nose, and fortunately doesn't let go. The store is split right down the middle, with various candy coated or flavored nuts on the right (think chocolate, lemon, etc), and spices on the left. Each spice bin is per scoop, and ranges in prices, but I believe they top out at $2.99. Scoops are placed in clear plastic baggies and cover a wide variety, from french fry season, to grilled steak, turmeric, and my personal favorite, the lime and pepper...a little more personality than the more common lemon pepper. Samples are plentiful and staff is more than happy to tell you all about a product you're interested in. Are there cheaper spice stores? Probably, but truth be told, this is my first spice store i've encountered, but they have a lot of variety and I like the smaller business shops that line the Lawrenceville square. Nice addition to a wonderful strip of businesses in this walkable part of town. read more

This place is freakin' awesome. You walk in and WHAM you're hit with the smells of spices. Wow. Just amazing. I come for the spices - my kid comes for the chocolate malt balls and my wife comes for the almonds. I'm so happy to see a shop like this in our local downtown and hope they'll be around for a long time. read more

I have become addicted to this place. My boyfriend actually has to hold my arm and keep me from going in when he knows that I can't afford a spice binge. Currently, I'm hooked on their taco seasoning as I've been experimenting with making Mexican casseroles. Go in here if you get a chance. The seasonings range in prices and are pretty inclusive of a wide variety of your culinary needs. read more

Nancy's Candy and Spice at The Square in Lawrenceville is yet to be discovered by thousands of passing by drivers. The building is being shared with Dominic's, the Italian restaurant, and most folks are under the impression there is no other business in that building. One has to walk by to discover all the goodies inside the store. The owner, Nancy, is originally from Jordan , and is also the author of children's books, and a great artist (painter and photographer). Her photos and paintings provide a nice backdrop to store's decor. Visitors have a direct access to herbs, spices, candies, and dried fruit. Sampling is not only allowed but highly recommended, and prices definitely won't break your budget. The store is relatively new (not even a year old) and fits very well with all the surrounding places. A great place to grab a quick snack while on the stroll in downtown Lawrenceville! read more

The chocolates are like Lays potato chips. Can't just eat one!!!!!! Also tried the lime pepper season ing which was great also.

I love this place! They have the best selection of spices and I love how I have a big selection spices and nuts and other little treats. The prices are excellent and I love coming in here and trying new spices! read more

Nancy's Candy & Spice - a bench in front of a store - Herbs & Spices Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

Wonderful little place! Resting in the heart of downtown Lawrenceville. One side of the store in bulk candy, while the other side is the hidden treasure....spices. Bulk spices you will find steak seasoning to exotic blends like Curry and Cumin. This place is so quaint and reminds me of this awesome Indian movie I saw once. I love this place!!!! The store manager is Lauren. She welcomed me into the store. Talked to me about the different candies and let me sample an eggnog almond. I bought several spices and some candy. Great little find! read more

I realy like the sweet lady . She helped us and gave the kids gifts . Made us wana go back again and again . Loved the home made gift baskets . Great collection of spices read more

I love this place. I wish they had been here 3years ago when I first moved to lawrenceville. They have pretty much every spice known to man. They have pre mixed seasonings. The owners are very nice and encourage you try samples. They know me when I come thrrough! read more

We stop here regularly to get our spices and rubs ! They have a ton of options and we have never been disappointed. ! The lime pepper is to die for I use it religiously on my chicken . My hubby loves the rubs when he BBQ' s and I love the salt free garlic pepper .! The dehydrated fruits are tasty and the Choco covered cashews are a sweet treat .! The lady inside (I am assuming Nancy) is always friendly and helpful ! A Gem in downtown Lawrenceville !!! read more

Love love this little store. It smells soooo good each time I walk in and I can stay there all day. The spices are the best. You only need a little in the cooking so a small bag lasts for a while. She has other small business' handmade products, like soap, baking goods. read more

Really brings to life the old expression "like a kid in a candy store!" And Nancy herself is like a hostess welcoming you into her own home. I even took my adult sons there one Christmas to experience it, and of course, treat them to choosing their own stocking stuffers. read more

This place is a great concept. Buy only what you need. Everything is sold by the scoop. Most spices are 99cents to $1.99. Very fresh, clean, and appeasing. Not only spices and steak rub, but there are nuts, dried fruits, and candy. For a household of only two, I been looking for a place like (so not to throw away prepackage spices that don't get used fast enough) for awhile and so happy that I chance upon it while dining in nearby Local Republic. Will definitely come back when my spices run out. Very nice owner and I'm big fan of local businesses. read more

SUGAR AND SPICE AND EVERYTHING NICE! This a unique shop located on the square in downtown Lawrenceville. It carries spices and candies. As you walk in you will see a variety of spices, blends and rubs spread out on a large table on your left. To the right you will find an eclectic blend of candies with and without nuts and with unique flavors. The spices seemed to be varied and I would imagine that this store has ever spice you could possibly need or want, (yes that had the elusive Saffron). The spices were displayed in open plastic bags with large scoops. I would prefer to see them in airtight see through containers which maintain freshness and keep them clean. I actually sampled one of the pumpkin coated almonds and while the pumpkin coating had a very nice flavor without being too sweet, the coating to nut ratio was way off. You could barely taste the almond and when I purchase candy with nuts, the nuts have to be the star. The candy options without nuts were just too sweet for us. My husband purchased some Jordan almonds which he enjoyed. If you are looking to bulk up your spice collection or try some unique candy, you should stop in to see Ms. Nancy who is very warm and gracious and ready to answer all of your questions. read more

With the renewed interest in flavorful cooking u have to check out the virtual bazaar of fresh spices. I buy smoked paprika and Greek for my veggie stir fry. Then step across the shop and get some incredible fruits and nuts. Dining at Local Republic and have to wait to get in? 50 yards away is Nancy's and you'll get a call when your table is ready. Nancy's...a special treat in the square in Lawrenceville read more

Wonderful quaint shop and service is very personal. The only place I go to for spices and rubs anymore. So much better than the store boxed spices. The coated almonds are awesome. My co workers give me a shopping list when they know I am headed that way. Love it! read more

I am so excited to have this store on the square! When you walk in the door it smells heavenly from all of the spices. Everything is in giant buckets on tables. The left side is spices, and the right side has chocolate covered fruit and nuts, dried fruit, snack mixes, nuts and candy. You can sample anything before you buy it, and there are even more spices in the back. You buy the spices by the scoop, and fruit, nuts and candies by the lb. Most of the plain spices (garlic, etc) are only 99cents for a big scoop, and most of the blends (lemon pepper, steak seasoning etc) are 1.99 for a scoop. The spices are soooo much fresher than what you would get in the grocery store, and WAY less expensive. Most of the seasonings that you buy here for $1-$2 would be $5-$10 in Kroger. And you're getting better ingredients than you would in a store. My friend just recently bought a house so I made her a "housewarming" basket of about 20 spices, candies, and a snack mix all for around $50. I can't recommend this place enough! LOVE IT! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! When you walk in you smell all of the exotic spices of the world. We saw sooo many spices, candy, nuts, dried fruits, etc. She gives free samples so you can try before you buy. My favorite was the pumpkin pie candied Jordan almonds. And the LIME pepper. AND the sour roasted almonds. AND the sweet and smokey barbeque spice blend. Okay, there are too many to pick a favorite! And the proprietress is so incredibly nice. And she is a great artist as well. read more

I love all the different selections of spices and the candy covered almonds are amazing. The owner is very nice and helpful. We have family that when they visit from out of town come to the shop to stock up on spices. read more

Wonderful addition to the square. This unique shop is a dream. She has all sorts of bulk spices and dried fruits and nuts (sampling is encouraged). A don't miss in Lawrenceville. Also, you have to try the jewel dates ... the are HUGE and sweet. read more

I love this place! You can sample things before you buy, get lots of help from the owner if you need it, cool selection of spices and candy and nuts. We stop in every time we are in downtown Lawrenceville. read more

This place was wonderful! The aroma of the shop is amazing!! The helpfulness and knowledge of Nancy is much appreciated. I have been cooking lentils for awhile and she offered appropriate suggestions of which spices to use. The next day, I used the greek seasoning for my egg quiches and they were better than they have ever been before. Nancy has tasty candy and beautiful paintings on the walls. I will definitely be back to spice up my recipes!!! read more

We walked in on a whim for some last-minute presents and walked out with several bags of amazing treats. The first thing I noticed was the giant table just full of spices. They smelled so amazing, and I will be back for sure. The nuts, candies, and dried fruits made great gifts for friends (and treats for ourselves). If you go, you MUST try the lemon creme almonds. They look like jordan almonds, but are not hard. The lemon creme exterior is a perfect mix of sweet and tart. I'll go back just to get bagfuls of those. The chocolate covered pomegranate seeds were a big hit too. Nancy and her shop assistant were there when we went, and they were just so nice. They kept having us try more nuts and candies and tied up my gifts with really nice bows and ribbon. This is a fantastic place to go for gifts or just to treat yourself. It's also nice to find a local business owned by such nice people! read more
