If your purchase is a gift, please write a note on the cart page where it says "add a gift note to your order." Your note will be printed on the packing slip, which does not include prices. (Please sign your note, as our packing slips do not include the sender's name!)
Masks are required for all customers. Please do not open the bags or jars to smell or taste the spices. We are selling all of our spices in prepackaged jars and bags in the sizes available on our website (no made-to-order custom sizes or refills). We are accepting cash payments.
After you have made your selections and added them to your cart, select “Store Pickup” and choose either Oakland or Albany. Then, select your pickup day and complete your payment. Orders placed by 2:45pm will be ready for pickup that same day.

Our inventory is a bit limited right now. What we have online is what we currently have available to order. Thanks for your understanding.
As long as you select the Oakland or Albany shop at checkout, we will know where you plan to pick up. Unfortunately, the address fields are a required part of the checkout process with the system we use. However, don't worry! No matter what you put here, if you selected your store pickup, we will have all the info we need.
We do! Please email us at orders@oaktownspiceshop.com for more information.
All online spice sales are final (see notes about t-shirts and totes below). But if your package arrives broken or you aren't completely satisfied, please email info@oaktownspiceshop.com and we will get right back to you.
Returns and Exchanges can be processed on unworn, unwashed t-shirts and totes if we are contacted within 14 days of receipt. Please reach out to info@oaktownspiceshop.com. Returns and Exchanges must be shipped to us within 14 days of receiving a return label. Once received, we will process store credit. A $5 restocking fee will be deducted from this total. Free returns and exchanges can also be processed in one of our retail locations within 14 days of receipt.
Gift cards can be used on any item in our online shop. To use a gift card online, just enter your gift card code at checkout. You'll see an option to add "Discount code or gift card" beneath the order summary. If you don't use your whole gift card on one order, the remainder will be kept on the card for you to apply to your next order.
