    Teas, spices, salt & sugars
    Jackeline F.

    We strolled out of the bookstore across the street looking for a sweet refreshing drink. We spotted The Spice & Tea Exchange & immediately went inside. It's a pretty shop, filled to the brim with an array of tea leaves to make yourself a cozy hot tea or a refreshing iced tea. They carry all sorts of salts, all kinds of peppers, a variety of spices and an assortment of sugars. I bought hibiscus sugar, it is amazing with hibiscus tea or an agua fresca. They carry herbs to make dipping oil, it is delicious. We selected a pomegranate rasberry loose leaf and they steeped it and poured ice over it and it was the perfect refreshment for a hot day. They carry tea accessories such as tea pots, mugs, special bent spoons, infusers, matcha kits, tea thermometers and resusable cups with their logos. We were treated well, and encouraged to take our time perusing.

    I had the best experience here a couple weeks back. The girls were the sweetest and most helpful. They let us try different teas and gave us a lot of knowledge on how to make them. I got a blue raspberry tea (w/ice) and it was sweet but actually very good. I bought a couple of different teas as well as a glass tea presser. And it works wonderful. They have so many things to shop for inside.

    Now... this is my first time at this location and I did not expect it to be such a beautiful spot. I am not a tea connoisseur, but this made me want to buy all the Tea blends. The guy that was creating tea blends and steeping to make actual drinks was very knowledgeable with the information. I asked him a few questions about what he was creating, and the knowledge was impeccable. My daughter decided to purchase a few things in preparation of trying one of their recipes. I will definitely head back to this location.

    The tea bar area. Enjoyed a lavender lemonade iced tea while shopping ($5.50) Amazing!

    My latest visit was much better as I was greeted by Stephanie. She assisted me so that I could get my specific spices quickly. As I was waiting in line, she asked if I would care for some iced tea. I told her I wasn't a fan of iced tea, but she suggested I try a small sample of their Lavender Lemonade iced tea. It was amazing! After the tasting, I purchased a glass ($5.50). I liked the fact that it didn't even taste like iced tea. She also recommended I try a sample of the Black Truffle Garlic seasoning (that was in an oil base) with a chunk of bread. It had a nice zing to it. What an enjoyable visit. Keep up the good work!

    I'm obsessed with herbs and tea, so this shop is right up my alley. I love the apothecary vibe, with all the herbs displayed in jars--it's great to be able to easily open them and smell the different scents. The huge variety and their limited flavors always allow me to find something new to take home. One of my favorites is the lavender lemonade, so when they have it available, I make sure to get some in a to-go cup and a pack for home. The staff is always very helpful and offers great suggestions. After visiting this shop, I love to head across the street to Writer's Block Bookstore; it gives me everything I need for a cozy evening at home.

    I could stay in here all day just soaking in the aromas and exploring the unique selection of spices and products. If you love experimenting with new flavors or need a little culinary inspiration, this place is a must-visit. Tea lovers will be especially thrilled--there's a wide variety of loose-leaf teas and accessories to browse. The staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, answering all of my family's questions and teaching us about so many products. I absolutely love it here!! They have tea for sale in the back. Try the samples and smell everything lol dont go if you are in a rush. You'll be kicking yourself later for not looking at just one more thing

    All the spices and teassss What I stumbled on this place with a friend as we were wandering downtown wg. It was very nicely decorated and done. There are ALOT of teas available and a lot of spices. It was sensory overload! I was able to get tea (hot or cold) with ANY of the teas that they has. I got the strawberry meadow green tea. They brew it on the spot for you and add sweetening if you need. Environment It was pretty nice, it is a storefront and you can buy tea but it is all to go, there are no seating available. Niceness of the staff Very friendly staff as you wander the store to select the tea you want to brew up Dollar it was 4.5$ a cup Yes I would for the nights I need a drink while walking around.

    The Spice and Tea exchange is a great shop to visit when you're exploring Disney Springs at Walt Disney World. If you want some loose lea teas, they have tons here. You can have them brew a cup of any of these teas at their tea counter. If it's a cold winter day, then it's pretty nice! My hidden gem from this spot is their Berbere spice blend, so that you can dupe the popular African street corn that you can get at Animal Kingdom Theme Park! Mix the spices with some butter and corn and you get something that resembles the iconic dish! Looks like they have a website so that I can order some more when I finish this stash!

    I was so pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem! My husband and I were a little early for our dinner reservation, so we were trying to kill some time and wandered into this shop because of the name. The store smelled so great and the staff was so kind. We were greeted the minute we walked in and the girl who worked there talked us through the different spices and products offered. We decided to get an iced tea in the little tea spot towards the back of the store, and loved it. They were also serving samples of the different spices on different food items, like cucumber and bread. It's a whole experience. Definitely try it!

    Variety of spices and tea
    Rebeca M.

    This spice and tea shop is such a gem! From the unique creations you can enjoy just by changing up a few ingredients to the wonderful variety of teas, everything feels thoughtfully crafted. The cozy and welcoming ambience, along with the friendly staff who greet you the moment you walk in and give you references, make it extra special. Definitely my go to spot for tea, spices, and a comforting atmosphere all year round.

    If i could give this place a 6 star review i would. I love cooking so the name caught my eye and decided to go in. When you walk in you get hit with such a pleasant aroma from the spices and teas. The staff is so friendly, the entire experience felt like you're a VIP. We got to try a few blends with olive oil and bread, their monk fruit sweetener (the salted caramel one is my favorite 10/10) and the tea on tap. The variety of tea and spice blends is extensive, literally for every dish you can imagine.

    Tea Time! Happening to be walking on Park Ave in Winter Park and found this store and decided to walk in. Found a great variety of teas and spices also they have a tea bar where you can make you own tea with any flavor you want. The lady at the store was so nice and very knowledgeable of each tea and it benefits. As you walk in you can feel a calm atmosphere.

    Tea of the month

    What an amazing experience! Tucked away on Park Ave in Winter Park, I stumbled on this tea store leaving Briarpatch. Stephanie was so amazing. She explained the different tires of teas, diffusers, and specials they featured in the store. I absolutely love tea so this was a plus for me. The store was quiet, not noisy at all. They also offer the option to try my trees in the store for a nominal fee. I ended up trying the tea of the month and purchasing 2 teas off of their recommendation.

The moment you walk in, you're greeted by an incredible selection of organic, natural, and hard-to-find goodies that make clean eating feel effortless and exciting. From bulk bins overflowing with nuts, grains, and superfoods to shelves stocked with top-tier supplements and eco-friendly products, they've got everything a wellness enthusiast could dream of. But the real magic happens at their fresh counter: the smoothies are chef's kiss--bursting with flavor, perfectly balanced, and made with high-quality ingredients (try the Green Goddess with wheatgrass; it's a game-changer). The sandwiches are hearty, thoughtfully crafted, and packed with veggies and house-made spreads that elevate the entire experience. And don't sleep on the wheatgrass shots--fresh, potent, and served with a smile that makes the zing totally worth it! Speaking of smiles--the staff here is next-level amazing. Knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely passionate about health, they'll guide you through recommendations, answer questions with patience, and even share recipe ideas. It's clear they love what they do, and it shows in every interaction. Whether you're a longtime clean eater or just dipping your toes into natural living, Chamberlain's is a must-visit. Clean vibes, top-notch quality, and a team that treats you like family. I'll be back weekly--probably daily if I could!

This trip, though, there was absolutely no Disney involved -- and we finally stopped here on our way home Sunday morning. I feel like you know you're getting older when you get excited about grocery shopping. Normally when I go to Publix, I'm irritated before I even get inside. But this place? A completely different experience. Walking through and seeing all the locally grown vegetables and the meat selection -- clearly labeled as hormone-free and without all the extra junk you get at typical grocery stores -- was honestly mind-blowing. The prices were so reasonable I couldn't believe it. I purposely brought a cooler for the two-hour drive home, and even with everything I bought, I didn't spend over $100. If I had purchased the same items at Publix, I'm convinced I would've been close to (or over) $200. Beyond the prices, the quality and overall vibe made it so enjoyable. You're not breaking the bank feeding your family, and you feel good knowing you're getting better-quality food. The staff was incredibly sweet and genuinely seemed to enjoy their jobs. I was looking for boneless chicken, and one of the employees asked if that's what I needed. A few minutes later, he came back with multiple packs in his hands to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and I really appreciated it. One thing to know: the produce and meat sections are in two separate, unconnected rooms, so you check out separately in each. And if you're still riding that high from all the money you saved, there's soft-serve ice cream outside with seating -- which just makes the experience even better. For someone who truly despises grocery shopping, this was actually fun. I will absolutely make a special trip to Orlando just to come back here -- and next time, I'm bringing a bigger cooler.

    Incredibly disappointed in the TLB. I've been a fan for a long time, especially their dry aged…read moremeats, and am more than willing to pay for this type of product. Today, though, I noticed them selling Japanese Wagyu as: Sake Infused Dry Aged A9 Kobe Strip. This is a very scammy way of selling a product. First, meat is graded broadly on three scales - USDA (choice, prime), BMS (beef marbling scale - common in Aus), and the Japanese grading scale. (A1-A5, with most high end steaks being A4 or the gold standard, A5). https://meatnbone.com/blogs/the-clever-cleaver/meat-beef-grading-system-understanding A9 doesn't exist. A BMS 9 could be an A5. But this is mislabeled. They have also used the term A11 in their instagram account. Maybe they are confusing BMS for A-scale, or maybe they are intentionally trying to make their product seem better than competitors. Furthermore, not all Japanese Wagyu is Kobe beef. Kobe beef refers to Tajima cattle raised in Hyogo Japan. The export of this beef is highly regulated to only certain restaurants and purveyors, who will display a seal and certificate certifying the origin of the beef. It is rare, expensive, and most importantly, Bush Brothers (Local Butcher's wholesale purveyor) is not certified to sell, nor do they use in any way, the term Kobe Beef. So it is incredibly likely that this product is mislabeled. This isn't illegal (Kobe beef doesn't have a TM in the US), but it is disingenuous. https://www.kobe-niku.jp/en/contents/certification/index.html https://instagram.com/bushbros Next, "sake infused"is incredibly confusing. Is it referring to the myth that Kobe cattle are massaged with sake? Is it referred to the use of koji (fermented cooked rice) which is often used as an aging accelerant? Or did they really take Japanese Wagyu and infuse (inject, soak?) with sake? And why on earth would you do that!? It would be like making sangria with a bottle of DRC. This product is likely a A5 strip loin (which Bush Bros. does carry) that has been aged. Market price would be somewhere around $175-185/lb. (An unaged cut would be around $150/lb.) When I asked for more information on the most expensive cut of meat in their shop, I was treated with disdain and a dismissive attitude. Neither member of the staff could answer my questions other than to say "It's the highest grade of Kobe beef." To charge $215 dollars for a grade that doesn't exist, for a steak that isn't from Kobe, with an aging method that seems dubious at best, is disingenuous and plays on a lack of consumer knowledge. If The Local Butcher themselves don't know the differences here, they shouldn't sell this product. If they do, they should be ashamed of themselves.
