Christina's Spice & Specialty Foods: what do users think?
Spenser Guerin: Has basically every spice you can imagine at good prices. Also has spice mixes if you dont wanna make your own.Also has rice, beans, starches/flour, nuts, dried fruit, preservatives/thickeners, and etc.I like their dried chiles and also the chile powders.And yeah. Did i mention cheap prices ?
Kyu Han Lee: My favorite spice store in the Boston area. They have every spice imaginable.
Danny Cohen: Christina's is a fantastic place to buy any spices or dry goods. I love coming here just to wander around and see what catches my eye -- exotic tea, a bottle of small-batch hot sauce, or some fancy smoked flaky salt. The owner is great and this store is a gem!
Megan Root: Amazing local business with a huge selection of spices, hot sauces, flours and basically every kind of sauce at reasonable prices — my number one place to go for cooking staples or when I’m in search of a fun unusual ingredient!
joe vallino: An amazing collection of spices, seasonings, dried peppers and much more. If you're looking for a unique ingredient, this place likely has it. It's a bit mind-boggling.
Brittany Ellis: Best selection of sauces, spices, flours, and other speciality ingredients. Warm and friendly owner.
Ryan D: I've shopped here a few times now, and each visit has been a great experience. The selection and prices here are great, and the man behind the counter has been nothing but nice and helpful!
Joe Black: can always find what i'm looking for
Jeff Smith: I was very impressed by the variety of spices, tea and other items here. I'm loving the fennel seeds I bought very much. I'll go back and try other things to enrich my palate
hello there: very cool place! lots of variety; down to earth
Wei En Chan: Unparalleled selection of high quality herbs and spices in Cambridge!
Sophie Fisher: Amazing spice selection. I have to exercise a lot of restraint when I come here :)
Alex Ostergard: If you're an adventurous cook, you've gotta stop in here. Whatever rare spice, herb, flower, or grain you need, they have it! Everything is well-packaged, and you can find most every ingredient in raw form, ground, and in multiple container sizes. Prices are great, and I love that Christina's doesn't upcharge and brand itself as a health food store like others.
Noah Taylor: On top of the vast selection of hot sauces and spices, this store is home to the best loose leaf tea collection I have seen in the city of Boston! Kind and helpful staff helped me make a choice on which tea to get. Definitely will be coming back in the future.
Brian M: There's no reason to get your herbs, spices, hot sauces, flours, nuts, beans, and other pantry staples from anywhere else if you live anywhere near Inman Square. Constantly impressed by what they have on offer here and the sheer quality of it all
Nick Olszowy: This place is awesome. It's also the only place I have found Tapatio hot sauce in the state of Massachusetts
Joan Papendo: Looking for Galanga root. Had made five unsuccessful stops before stopping in. Was helped immediately and given two choices chipped or ground. Another treasure to be cherished. Love Penszes but this place has a wider choice ( labels not as cute though prices seem much better, parking worse)
Lily He: They have an incredible selection of spices/seasonings and specialty ingredients, like hot sauces, baking ingredients, loose leaf teas, rices, beans in manageable package sizes at the price points of bulk purchases (so you can use it up before it goes bad)! Such an awesome store, I wish I knew about it before so I wouldn’t be wasting so much time searching the racks at other supermarkets :)
Liz Cobb: My go to spot for all of the best quality baking ingredients
LH Dawn: Great place to shop if he doesn't know he say he don't know he's not just looking for a sale I told I was from Kansas city he told me he was there had some good barbecue lol
Christopher Shanahan: Name it they have it

Curio Spice Co.: what do users think?
Leah Klein: Fabulous spice shop in Cambridge. They have some excellent spice mixes as well as individual spices, chilis and a selection of beautiful housewares. They will guide you through their collection of spices and provide recipes fkk
Nick Belsten: Great products and super friendly and helpful staff. I go here both for fun gifts and for my daily cooking. It's super cool when you're deciding between spice options and they bring out the little tasting spoons
Stuart Mitchell: Super friendly and knowledgeable staff.
steve fernandez: $11.20 for 23 chili?????? 1/4 of which are under 2” long ….. never again
Richard Molina: Spectacular place.
Rich Lawson: Curio has an amazing selection of spices that are fresh, and ethically sourced. the staff are very knowledgeable and very friendly.
Steven Le: Honestly AMAZING! SJ, who helped me, was so informative and helpful. Was able to try different spices, learn a little about the differences between them, and overall had a joyful thyme! (haha) Would so recommend for ethically sourced, diverse selection, great packaging, and welcoming space to learn more about the spices that elevate our food (and lives subsequently).
Nicole S Cho: Best collection of spices and the most friendly, helpful & warm staff. Very well laid out and beautifully displayed. I could spend hours in this shop. One of my favorite places. I ♥️ Curio!
James Carr: Incredible tiny spice shop with a wide selection and incredibly helpful and kind staff.
Kelley Huber: Caroline and Samantha went above and beyond to help us with our wedding favors. Not only was the store incredibly gracious as we postponed plans due to the pandemic, but the team was also collaborative on how to personalize the spice favors we purchased for our wedding guests. The final product resulted in these adorable jars that we are so excited to share. Thank you Curio team!
Daisy Daeschler: I ordered spices from Curio online. I’ve been trying to buy better quality and ethically sourced spices and these are amazing. I can’t wait to use everything I’ve gotten, especially the pickling spices.
el Frix: Really nice selection of spices of all sorts
Charles Lamb: Awesome spices. Awesome staff. Awesome selection. This is the supplier that a lot of restaurants use and I understand why that is. There’s a lot of demand for their product so expect a little bit of time for order fulfillment. Curbside pickup was completely painless.
Eva Jellison: They have high quality reasonably priced spices, some that you can't get other places. Their blends are so good. Kandy is my favorite.
Gary Strack: As a chef and restaurateur I am always looking for the freshest and most elemental spices. Curio Spice Shop's inventory is fresh, vibrant, and alive and the selection is smart and worldly. The added bonus is that the staff is knowledgeable and super friendly so if you care about your spices the place is a big win.
Christina “Tina”: BEST SPICES EVER
Sayed Mousawi: They supply my coffee shop with the best rose cardimam / lavandar ! Very helpful. Highly recommend
John Montgomery: Great selection of amazing spices and blends. Perfect place to find unique and useful gifts. The staff is super knowledgeable and friendly.
David H: THEY SELL BLACK GARLIC GOOD LORD THEY SELL BLACK GARLIC. I love any chance to support loval business but this place forces my hand with its incredible selection and did i mention black freaking garlic
A H: I am so glad to find this spice store!! Their spices are very unique and high quality. Packages are super cute. Great place to shop gifts for family and friends!
Sarah B: What a wonderful little store! I especially love that they're a certified B Corporation, so I can feel good about shopping there not just because they're a small company, but also because of their ethical practices! Yay! Great selection of herbs and spices, including culinary florals.

Shalimar Foods & Spices: what do users think?
Julia Stevens: Do NOT go here to shop in person - there is no more physical store here.
Rahul Viswanath: This store is closed for good, it used to be a nice spot to get a quick indian bite.
Chitra: Great Indian grocery delivery service! From the whole order, I've received only 1 expired item - a bag of raisins. Everything else looks really good, and tbh I'm more than happy to toss out that bag of raisins, for the fresh bags of fragrant curry leaves, and green chillies now sitting in my fridge!!Will definitely get groceries delivered again, and I fully recommend to folks not keen on heading out to the store during this pandemic. Also, a quick note to the owner to be mindful of expired foods.
Ram Sawroop: Very bad experience.DO NOT ORDER ONLINE FROM THEM. They will send rotten/expired items and charge almost double the normal price. When you will reach out to them to sort out the issues with order they will block your number. I sent them email and SMS message about the rotten rice in our order but no response. I talked to a guy named Pawan who blocked 2 of my numbers when i pointed out problem with my grocery order. Adding photos of rotten Basmati rice i received from them.
Tejas Patel: Dont place order without confirmation email. They dont you hakf of item and they send you items that you didnt order it and try to charge you...
Vanessa Bhang: I would not not recommend online shopping with Shalimar. The wrong item was delivered and there was no acknowledgement or response to my voicemail or email.
Aarti K. Dwivedi: Isn't always fully stocked and is temporarily closed for renovation. Save yourself a trip!
vinay kejriwal: I do not like this place. Not much selection and overpriced Indian grocery price but i can imagine the price is high since they are located in central square. the dosa factory good is pathetic and quality is super low. Must improve it.
Saksham Saxena: An alright store for Indian grocery. Have been there a few times and they have some of the most common Indian grocery items missing
Jaden Miriam Kohen: The actual restaurant part had good food, and really nice customer service, despite our (my and their) issues with Grubhub.I can't say I browsed much while I was there in the store waiting for my order to go, so I can't really speak to that part of it.They were also out of kulfi by the time I had to reorder my Grubhub order, so I don't know what it tastes like, but if you're in the mood for it I'd say go early.
par scott: Always a great place for herbs and veggies
Gaurav Kandoi: Such a huge rip-off on Indian grocery. They don't have prices marked on most of the products and you will be surprised by your bill when you are about to pay. Prices on some of their frozen breads are about twice the price I used to pay elsewhere.
Shruti P: Decently stocked and maintained store where you can get Indian/Asian products at a marginally higher cost than other stores.
Sanchit Kumar Gupta: They overprice(literally double in case of paneer) everything by adding their price label on the actual price. Try to avoid buying any Indian grocery from here.And rude afUpdate:Dessert was expired so was the bread.
Shashwat Pandey: Great little Indian grocery shop with every necessary item you need
Yusuf Jameel: This shop is over priced. Also, I bought garlic paste last week which had mold inside it and the seal was broken.
Raaz Dwivedi: Pretty bad place. Rotten veggies, expensive and limited collection of Indian items.
Regan S: Bought Indian Sweets. Rotten smell from it. Disappointed to had such sweets. And very few groceries in the shop. I will not go to this shop again.👎👎👎
G R Ramdas Pillai: Get most of your regular Indian groceries. Convenient location
amlan pankaj: Great store, great location. Helpful staff. The minimum 5$ spending for credit card use sucks!
Rutuja Dharmadhikari: Good when their stock is fresh else it can be equally stinky!

Penzeys Spices: what do users think?
Robert Kuklinski: Love the spices. Hate the woke. Will not spend a dollar there, SAD!
Di Vo: The political rhetoric turns me off. I won’t buy from a in your face company that insults half the country. I used to, but no more.
Clare McDermott: Long time customer who just can't stomach the political diatribes from a spice company. I'll miss your smoked paprika (it is the best I've ever tried, to be honest), but can do without the lectures. I've purchased a bit from Burlap and Barrel, enjoy what I've sampled so far, and have no idea what their politics are. A refreshing information gap.
Len Lavoie: After 50 plus years as a customer of Penzeys. I’m canceling my order and looking for another company. I’ve been financially abused and it hurts. Take your Vanillabration! 20% Off Vanilla Extracts and enjoy the $30.00 extra dollars you made
Markel NunyaB: Mice everywhere!!!
Mary Shannon: Love Penzeys. The quality can't be beat - it's basically the only brand we keep in our spice cabinet.
Christian Klein: Great spice store with knowledgeable staff. Always something interesting to discover.
Sam Beauchamp: Spices are ok, but the relentless political opinion is ridiculous. I will not be ordering anymore. Spice house it is. Check them out if you're looking for spices and not how to vote.
Linda M: My go to for a great selection of spices. So happy that it is a reasonable driving distance away.
Chief 0: They have every spice lve ever needed
Ju Lim: My go to place for spices.
Leah Klein: Whether you live close to Penzey’s or just order online, it is one of the best spice shops around. Great selection and prices - everything is fresh and I love their mixes. I get my vanilla here. i also love their Buttermilk Ranch spice mix to make party crackers with.
J O: Great spice shop with large selection if spices and a few different sugars. Good quality spices and i like the boxes of assorted spices. This alliws you to try out different ones.
Laurie Brunner: Penzey's has the best spices. Plus, Bill Penzey is a mensch.
Margaret Kistner: CEO is too political. I wanted spices, not his opinions. If you believe in freedom of choice, don't buy from this guy.
Roger Huebner: Always a wonderful experience shopping here the staff is amazing and if you can't find what you need here you don't need it!!!!!
monique fisher: Great quality and variety, terrific customer service. Longtime customer and big fan!
Onna van Eyk: I got vanilla beans, hot cocoa, candied ginger, and so much more. All different quantities. Staff was helpful when I couldn't locate something. Great experience. Love the store.
Carol DelGaudio: Best place to shop for high quality herbs and spices.
Beverly Luketin: Friendly people and quality spices. I am absolutely in love with the Penzeys Revolution spice mix. I use it on my potatoes and my roasted cauliflower.
Jennifer Christiansen: Thank you for wonderful spices and customer service.

Syrian Grocery Importing Co: what do users think?
mohsen eldeeb: 👍 good
Monty Mansour: A south end must see
Andrew Brown, Jr: Open just 3 hours daily on week days, usually 2-5, I see this as a good source of hard to get food items from The Levant: Rose Water, Orange Blossom Water, Pomegranate Molasses, Aleppo and smoked Aleppo peppers. 2 kinds of Harissa, bunches of different tahini, fresh figs, French Feta Cheese and, dig this: I scored a 93oz jug of cold pressed, unfiltered, Lebanese EVOO for $37.00 and change.
Chris Borger: One of the last vestiges of the old neighborhood. Great place to get bulk spices and an eclectic variety of food and cooking supplies you can't get many places. Some of the staff can quiet and occasionally reserved but friendly and helpful when you talk to them. One of my favorite places in the 'hood.
T Kerk: Mother,grandmother,used to take me here when I was a little kid to get groceries our cousins.syrians are wonderful people❤
Maryellen Huck: The real deal - thankfully no designer point of sale displays here.
Richard: Not the easiest to find, but a wide variety of items in the store, and the storekeepers were very friendly and helpful.
Rahaf Ajawi: anyone know if they had molokhia??
Hassan Shareef: Won't answer your call
Farah Dakkak: Great Place to find things not available elsewhere. Great helpful shop owner who will do his best to help you find what you are looking for. Syrian store owned by a Lebanese family.
Tom Auer: This place was staffed by two nice gentlemen. The store is a little disorderly and hard to navigate, but they have a good selection of middle-eastern products. I asked for dried yoghurt and preserved lemons and they helped me find what I need (no dried yoghurt though). Fair prices.

Formaggio Kitchen - South End: what do users think?
Tita A: Wonderful selection, cheeses that you would have a very hard time finding outside of their villages of origin, knowledgeable people. Prices reflect it ... Things are expensive, but worth the occasional splurge!
Michael DiBona Sr: Tremendous, food Quality is fantasticA must if you love food, homemade sandwiches, best Chicken pot pieI have ever had. 👍
Stephen: Tiny shop with big flavors. We stopped in for sandwiches to go on a rainy day, not busy and picked out a few premade sandwiches. Had them grilled on the panini press, yum! Spicy Italian for me and a ham n butter roll for my daughter. Don’t forget to grab a cookie!
Dan M: Great spot to stop for a quick sandwich or snack. Always friendly and knowledgeable. Amazing how many things they can fit into that small shop!
Simon Somov: We love that place for the whole family very much.Usually, we take a parma, tuna salad, frozen pizza, and fresh bread.
Tayler Meinen: Now, I love a good “build your own charcuterie” experience. It’s probably my favorite thing to do. This place is PERFECT for it! They have so many options of jams, olive oils, pickled things, dips, fantastically presented cheeses and some of the BEST cured meat I’ve ever had. Max was very knowledgeable about the pairings and waus throu each type of cheese, asking if we would like it stronger or more mild and letting us get the taste for the board he was creating for us! Max made my first experience very pleasurable, and will absolutely be back because of him. (Thanks for letting me take photos:-) )Very intimate atmosphere with an amazing selection of products. If you’re not in a rush, take your time because I guarantee you that you’ll find something you’ve never seen before.
Marc Maurin: Un grand choix de fromages. Et un service très agréable. Pas déçu par les fromages acheté ni par le saucisson.
Monique Zipeto: Say cheese! This place is heaven on Earth. A selection that's out of this world, not to mention the mouthwatering selection of cured meats and pate. Very helpful staff. Cave wait to come back
Nancy F: A hidden gem if you aren't familiar with the south end if course. Visited during food tour (Bites of Boston) I'll be back!
Mike Rodriguez: Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Delicious specialty food selection including my favorite sandwich in the city (the chicken salad + cheese). Cookies are also to die for. Just a great place all around.
John Custy: Fabulous experience as always
John Martin Weed: Amazing customer service and rockstar staff!
M Wright: Excellent stop for wine, fine cheese, and made to order sandwiches.
Mari Carmen Barrios: Be still my beating heart! Probably my favorite shop in all of Massachusetts. A splurge, for sure, but never not worth it. Their meats section is heavenly, and all the olive oil they sell is *real* olive oil, super pungent and deliciously tasty. They sell some pastries too--I always have the olive oil cake. The place is a tight squeeze, so do yourself a favor and do not wear a backpack in here.
Andrew Miller: Great sandwiches and hard to find items
DB Youtube: Guys place to find different kinds of cheese!
Laura Delaney: Always an adventure and a delight!
Olivia Burca: Love this place in South End. It's expensive, but it's quaint and feels bougie and cozy inside. It's a really cute food shop to visit.
Zaid Shtayyeh: Favorite shop in Boston by far. The ready made food is phenomenal (turkey avocado and chicken salad sandwich are my personal favorites). Wine selection is great staff really know their stuff so ask questions if you have any!
Hadrien GLAUDE: Unfortunately there are not a lot of places to get good cheese around Boston. This place has a large selection unfortunately, their cheeses are often too old and get too strong or moldy (not the way they are supposed to be). In addition the place is very expensive.
Matt Reid: Formaggio is the best. I usually go to the Cambridge store. But the South end is actually closer to my home in Milton. They're both equally amazing with cheese you just can't find anywhere else. And when we're not in a pandemic, they let you taste just about everything. Very knowledgeable staff who will Shepherd you to just the right wedge, wheel, or log.
