If you're a serious cook you must check out Sahuaro Spice. It's located in an area I very rarely ever find myself shopping but when I'm on a mission to find harder to source spices I am undeterred. It's in a no frills location and it quite small, but is chock a block with spices you just cannot find at typical stores. Also they carry more whole leaf and seed spices which is always preferred due to their flavor retention. One of the spices we were looking for was empty I it's bin but after inquiring we were presented with more stock from the back. Be sure to look up and down as the spice bins are very closely displayed in the compact space. I word of warning, the moment you park and enter the lot you will smell the spices. I did find myself needing to cough a little as the spices are pungent and can irritate your air passages. The owner was so friendly offering advice about storage methods. She recommended mason jars. I always store my spices in glass jars as it's the best for spices. The prices were quite good and I really enjoyed being able to find several spices at such good prices. If Penzys Spices make your eyes water you really must go to Sahuaro Spice! read more

I had been wanting to try this place for awhile and yesterday I was finally in the area and remembered this place. I took my mother and uncle. We were blown away. First, the smell hits you way before you enter the building and it's a wonderful smell. My family and I loved this place. The prices simply can't be beat and the variety and freshness of the spices is spot on. The owner was so knowledgeable and friendly. We spent around $40 and left with 6 lbs of spices and we will defiantly be back! Make sure you map this on your phone, we drove by it twice. it's tucked away in an industrial area. read more

very good store to get spices at a reasonable price. My friend Chef Roy he told me to go here and it is a gem and he is right. Chef stand to know things like where to get spices right ? read more

This place is incredible - a little off the beaten path, but worth the trip (honestly, closer to me than PV Penzey's too) As we approach the holidays I did not want to run out of cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and/or bay leaves. I now have a lifetime supply of everything for a fraction of the cost - when I asked if they sold Zatar (they don't) - the owner said "here's a sample from another company" and just gave it to me! A+ for client relations. The spices are so fresh you can smell them from down the street - you can get your spices in as little as 8 oz. bags or 5 pounds. The no frills packaging and industrial park setting attribute to the lower cost and that does not bother me one bit. I cannot wait to return! read more

This place is a hidden gem. Bare bones and no frills, just an amazing deal on fresh spices! Friendly and their selection is amazing. It's worth the drive from the West side, stock up and I'm good for awhile. read more

A real treasure in the city of Phoenix, I discovered the place through a Google search and thought I'd try them out, that was about 3 years ago and I still use them to this day. The place is hidden in what I would call a warehouse district, and you can miss it if you aren't careful, even when you find the right back road that goes past it, you may want to use a GPS or use an online map to find it. Once you do you'll find a building that is quite obviously used to house spices for wholesale, it has a small store section where customers can walk in and purchase. There is nothing fancy here, just bins in alphabetical order with pretty much any spice you can think of, at least out of the common ones. Everything is packed in plastic bags so they can keep their cost down and pass it on to you which is no biggie if you have spice containers to store the stuff when you get home. Most things are sold in 1lb bulk, though the more expensive spices are sometimes sold in small weight sizes. You can even purchase bigger bulk bags if you wish, but I'm more familiar with the smaller bulk sizes of 1lb. Everything is fresh, and you often have a choice between whole spices and ground, they even have special blends of spices for specific things such as ranch, chorizo, or taco seasoning. The prices are extremely affordable too, the cheapest I've seen, that is for sure. To put it in perspective I bought 1lb bags each of chili powder hot, chili powder mild, mustard powder, MSG, cumin (whole), and granulated garlic, all for $23. Be warned though it is only cash or check, they do not accept credit or debit. Considering the low prices I'm willing to deal with it. read more

Just got home from Sahuaro Spice Company and I am amazed with what they had available and the phenomenal prices. Erika was so helpful. I will shop here from now on. AMAZING! read more

Hands down, the best place to buy spices. I live in California and have my family buy them in bulk to bring out to me! The other review here is perfect, so I won't spend much time describing everything. The good thing is that they do mail via UPS (?), you just need to contact them via phone as there is no online ordering. The bags of spices are just as cheap as those small bottles in the store. The spices I receive go into mason jars to last longer. If you use quite a bit or even just a little, you can't go wrong with Sahuaro! read more

Sahuaro spice saved my butt today. One of my Gourmet caramel corn's uses jalapeno powder and I had a very large custom order to finish today , but had forgot to order from my usual source last week. Started searching locally in a frenzy and Came Upon Sahuaro . They had it ! Erika is amazing. They've got my business from now on. Thank you so much! Also grabbed some lemon powder for new flavor that "popped" in my head. thank you thank you thank you. I'll bring you a special treat on my next trip in. read more
