The Spice House is my secret weapon when it comes to general spices and bbq/grilling rubs. Every spice is top notch and worth every penny. I've ordered online as well as purchased at their shop off Wells St in Chicago. I fully recommend the Jamaican Jerk, Milwaukee Iron, Lemon Trinidad, and the Bicentennial blends.
After the liberal screed in which Penzey's owner called Republicans "bad people," I decided to try an alternative called The Spice House. Interestingly, this is owned by other members of the same family who don't share young Penzey's opinion (at least publicly). And I'm not sure why young Penzey decided to trek out on his own (his business started AFTER The Spice House). Pretty much the same spices, I'm guessing. So, given the choice (and we still have that except in health insurance), I'll shop with someone who isn't a hater of many people I call friends.
Awesome products and people!!! And without all the political BS of their counterpart.
I'm absolutely sure I don't need my spice company telling me whom I should be voting for!

The Spice House is an amazing place to go. They have tasters of the majority of their products, and it is a wonderful experience for first time cooks or seasoned chefs. I have been cooking since I was little, when my mom and dad taught me. I love to use their spices separately to make my own flavor creations, but also love their blends. Look no further to find high-quality, delicious, amazing ingredients accompanied with a side of kind, knowledgeable staff. Take your kids here-carefully of course-and introduce them to new flavors and experiences! Pick something and make an adventure out of it. Their extracts are amazing for homemade ice cream!
So happy to have found you guys, I also love that you don’t do politics! My first order of spices are amazing!!!
I'm another new customer that was dropped by Penzeys. Thank you for offering awesome products and service to all.
I used to live in the neighborhood, but now that I live in Indiana, I still go up or order on line to buy. The spices are the best!
Until you purchase some decent spices, you'll never know what you're missing. I had no idea paprika could taste so delicious, and that decent nutmeg doesn't taste like sawdust. Thanks for changing the game, Spice House!
I absolutely love the “Back of the Yards” spice combo. It’s great on absolutely everything...really great especially sprinkled generously on hummus. Went thru the bottle too quickly so bought a big bag!
I read about Spice House in a FB group. I am now a new Spice House customer. After the barrage of hate Leftist speech from Penzeys, I think more people will start shopping at Spice House. Bullying and intimidation, in any form, is unacceptable and that is exactly what Bill Penzey is trying to do. Bill, thank you for referring to us as “racist, sexist, homophobes." I was really unaware that we were any of that. I have often wondered what it would be like to wallow in a soft syrup of self satisfaction and self proclaimed moral superiority. Thank you Bill for showing us you who are, a Liberal bully. I love that I can shop at Spice House without having to worry about being slammed for my political views. Time to go cooking!!! Bon Appetit!
