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.

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.

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.

The owner is very pleasant, knowledgeable, friendly and helps you make informed decisions in what works well for you in the dishes you want to prepare. I highly recommend this local shop.

They offer a wide variety of natural herbal extracts (medicinal, butters, bath products), oils and teas. I LOVE the soaps and the hot/cold packs they sell. Every visit I discover something new!

I have absolutely no clue why I have never written a review on this place.. well here we go…read more I've been here to pick up things for events and raffles.. Ive tried the oils and vinegars pre-Covid. Lots of fun things to try and it gives you ideas of things to use with different foods. (Mayer Lemon EVOO!) Oils as a garnish or to sauté with, make salad dressings, dip your bread..the list goes on. Thing is with Covid I have no idea if you can try anything? I would say ask.. I buy blind and I just go by a description so... What's nice is they ship and they have a few other locations. If you want to give a gift to someone who loves to cook but not sure what to get them. Come here you can get a bunch of different things or get a prepared box of boxed up oils and etc. Staff is friendly and helpful considering Covid it's not a big place and they will regulate the flow of customers if it gets a bit too much. What's good about this place is where it is, after you go in here depending the time frame you can pop in to Baker Street Bakery for some bread and treats. Check out Salty a lovely boutique store or go to Cafe Sasso, Glen Edith, The Chai Guy or Pittsford Dairy for some drinks and treats. Parking is street or behind the building on Somerton. Give them a whirl.

The staff here are total experts when it comes to helping you find a unique flavor profiles and combinations, and, while I haven't been in during the COVID times, know they have an amazing tasting process during the normal times. I adore their balsamics and am particularly partial to the fig and berry-based bottles. We always have F. Olivers with our Sunday sauce at my parents house - paired with some Wegmans garlic tuscan bread?! Forget it. I always look forward to my next order of oils and balsamics. Stop in if you have yet to, making stops at Salty and Baker Street Bakery in the awesome Somerton plaza. F. Olivers also has a location in Canandaigua. Happy dipping!
