Want to spice up your life? Sorry…read more.. This place has wholesale prices for almost every spice you can imagine. On a fluke, searched for spices, whatever, and found this place after being disgusted by the prices at the local grocery store for 1/4 or 1/8 of the amount and sometimes at almost 10 fold difference in the price. So, keep this in mind when shopping for spices.

I don't know why the meats at Joseph's are better than that at any grocery store.....but they are. We don't eat too much red meat but when we do, we get it at Joseph's. Always a smile and willingness to cut what we want the way we want it. Always a dinner delight.

The place where I've ordered a turkey for a few years had a weird, unclear deadline for their…read moreThanksgiving orders so this year I needed to quickly find another place (or try). Had I ordered from the place I usually have, I would have had to pay a shipping fee of $35 whether I had it shipped to my home or to the business. I hadn't heard of Joseph's before but decided to take a chance. I placed my order by phone the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and they took it with no problem, no extra charges; they also took the bone out for me. I was a bit nervous just because I hadn't tried this place before, and if there was a problem there wouldn't be much chance to fix it or easily switch gears. But I needn't have worried. While it would be helpful if they decided whether they were going to use numbers or just a line (I pulled a number upon entering, but they weren't advancing the numbers and instead just taking people who said they were next), I was in and out within ten minutes. The employees were helpful. Like many butchers, they have more than just the meat but it's not a grocery store (though I found I could have gotten the baguette that I made a separate stop to procure). The turkey breast I bought was at least half of what it would have cost at the place I've used in the past. With that kind of savings, paying their 4% credit card fee was fine by me (pay cash to save yourself the fee). Parking is easy; it's Dunning, not Lake View. Will definitely come back, possibly sooner than later since I've been wanting to try making a pot roast and I expect they'd have the right cut of beef for that. I won't bother with the butcher I used to go to with this one so nearby.

I appreciate that they are a small business with a nice variety of baked goods. We have made…read morepurchases of their goods at the Lake County Arts & Craft shows and have not been disappointed. My only suggestions would be to have better descriptions of the baked goods they are selling, either on or with their packaging and have listings and descriptions of their products on their website. I have a family member that has allergies to certain ingredients and was not sure about some of the ingredients, for example, listing the type of nuts that were used. Their table was very busy at the time of our recent purchase and they were helpful with any questions, but I did not have the opportunity to verify some of the ingredients. I tried to look items up on their website, but could not find the information I was looking for.

They freeze dry fresh fruit and blend it into powder, which when added to hot or cold water renders the most extravagant tasting tea! I bought pomegranate!!! I'll be back for sure!!

We responded stating that we were adults and were here to shop and spend money. The man at the front desk then made multiple remarks under his breath aimed towards us, which completely turned us off to coming in. 6 of us were planning on spending money and none of us ended up doing it due to the statements of the man at the front. Two of my other friends that did proceed in were then stared at and talked about during their shopping and were made very uncomfortable and ended up leaving without purchase.
