"We chose to use Oaktown Spice for gifts because they are uniquely Oakland and provide quality gifts people love to receive. Everyone who has received a custom Oaktown gift box has loved it. They are something people really enjoy and actually use. After receiving a Visit Oakland gift, we’ve had many people purchase more and send them to friends and family. The team at Oaktown Spice has been great to work with. They are knowledgeable, very helpful and have assisted us with creating beautiful gifts that represent The Town."

"Besides the inventive spice blends, Oaktown’s packaging is beautiful, inside and out. And whether you consider yourself a really experienced chef or a complete novice, there are spices and blends for everyone. Many of our clients mention that they already shop at Oaktown! For those based in the Bay Area, it’s a shop that they know and love. We’ve received lots of great feedback on the BBQ blends, and what seems to be everyone’s favorite blend – Better Than Everything Bagel. We’ll keep coming back to Oaktown because we value quality and because it feels connected to its community. For those considering the typical holiday gift box, you should take a look at Oaktown’s offerings and find something for your favorite clients and partners, as there’s something for everyone. "

"OLLY worked with Oaktown Spice Shop to deliver a company-wide holiday gift. They worked with us every step of the way to build a custom spice kit with recipe cards that matched our needs, maintained consistent communication and took care of all packaging + shipping logistics, getting all our gifts delivered ahead of deadline. Our employees loved receiving a unique, sustainable and high quality gift all while supporting a local business. Oaktown really spiced up our holiday season!"

"As a boutique business immigration firm based in Oakland, working with Oaktown seemed an absolute win-win – supporting an amazing local business and sending customized international spices each year to our corporate clients. My clients look forward to the spices each year, as we choose to curate from a different country or region. Oaktown's team anticipates the timeline, and works creatively within our firm’s budget. We have been sending out these gifts since Dec 2016 and have never looked back!"

"We source locally for our yearly holiday gift. While researching local spice companies, I came across Oaktown, and after reaching out, I felt confident in the gift they could create for us. Oaktown went above and beyond from the first conversation until the final gift was sent. There was not a task that was too big for the Oaktown team. They worked with us to create an amazing holiday gift that we were proud to share. Every aspect from planning, packaging, wrapping, and shipping was flawless.
The feedback on the spices were overwhelmingly positive. Recipients were excited to receive a gift they could cook with during the holiday season and made note of the cinnamon and leaves that were elegantly placed in the box. From the packaging to the gift, Oaktown did a great job!"
