Named one of the world's best spice shops by Food & Wine Magazine, Oaktown Spice Shop offers the freshest, most delicious, high-quality spices and hand-mixed spice blends in the Bay Area.
"I don’t even live in the country anymore, but whenever I’m back in Oakland I stop by the spice shop...everyone is always so helpful, they were super sweet this last time and offered my toddler a cinnamon stick to suck on while I shopped. I highly recommend a visit, it’s always an inspiration! :)"

"I live for this salt. I give it as a gift. I put it on vegetables, in soup, in salad dressings...sometimes I just have a taste on its own. Don't even get me started about what it does to eggs, beans and avocado. Seriously... this is the best seasoning I've ever used. It's replaced salt & pepper at our house. NO REGRETS."

"As the bottom of the bottle nears, the kitchen larder calls for more. Better Than Everything Bagel Spice is now a required staple in our cozy northern kitchen."

Perfect for Sunday morning breakfast or brunch with friends, this fluffy pancake is simple and delicious. No flipping required! We love it topped with our Vanilla Sugar and lemon juice, but you can play with any number of other toppings,
