During the pandemic - and from now on, I am making an effort to shop locally. I decided to stroll this neighbourhood on a Sunday to check out a few stores. As soon as I stepped into the store, it smelled amazing! (Too bad I couldn't experience the true effect, because I had my mask on.) I was told by the very knowledgeable clerk that spices were ground on site. With a little help, I decided to purchase 2 balsamic vinegar glazes, made in Italy - fig and orange. Curious about the spices, I was told that they use the highest quality ingredients. Yes, the goods are a little pricey, but the quality is outstanding! The cinnamon that I purchased was phenomenally fragrant. Can't wait to put it on my oatmeal and use it for baking. The store is merchandised nicely - reminding me of an old fashioned apothecary. Loved my visit!

This is not a spice shop, this is a spice emporium! You walk in and the smell of spices, herbs, oils and vinegars overcome you and you just go, “WOW, I think I’m Martha Stewart right now. I feel like I’m in the middle of a cooking show!”. It’s amazing. And the staff? They’re spice sommeliers. I don’t know what a star anise is, but you go up and ask them and they’ll show what it is AND how to use it – and they may even give you a recipe to try. And the herbs and spices come in these beautiful tins so you can put them on your counter. Even if you don’t know how to cook like Martha Stewart, you can look like you do. Your food is going to taste better because their oils and spices are SO good. They also make collections. You wanna be like a French chef? Here’s a French collection. You wanna be like an Italian chef? Here’s an Italian collection. You’ll want to try their lemon oil and white champagne vinegar to make the best salad dressing in the world. I LOVE the Spice Trader and think everyone should give them a try.
Very happy with the curbside pickup. My order was ready promptly, I picked it up seamlessly and the rosewater is amazing! Will definitely go back. Can't wait to browse in person once restrictions are lifted.
My husband and I went downtown to The Spice Trader for a specific item, lavender for a recipe. We wanted to buy it right there, but couldn’t. I purposely left my phone at home. Silly me! Due to Covid restrictions, we had order online, and there would be curb side pick up. We conveyed this to an employee and he just gave it to us! Told us to pay later. We were both surprised by his trust. We paid ASAP. I have never received such amazing customer service and kindness during this difficult period. THANK YOU SIR! I highly recommend shopping here for quality in spices, and the brilant service. You have a customer for life.
Got my first order of spices, took about 4 days to receive and they are all so so good! I was kinda of expecting to just get them in plastic bags but was so excited to see they are in lovely little labeled containers with the ingredients on the side, will be ordering more very soon for sureeee. I live in a small town and these kinds products are not available in any stores around, very happy to have found your website :)
