The Spice House has spent more than six decades sourcing spices, herbs, and blends from a global network of growers, with this Near North Side location serving as one of its Chicago storefronts. The shop is built around freshly ground spices and signature blends developed in-house, alongside single-origin offerings like Ceylon cinnamon and Tahitian vanilla extract.
Beyond the core spice wall, the store carries collaborations with chefs and brands — including collections tied to Morimoto and Rodney Scott — plus curated gift boxes and build-your-own gift sets. Regulars often become mail-order customers, reordering house blends like the Homestyle Herbs soup mix or the Vegetable House Blend after first discovering them in the store.
Staff knowledge of the spice selection is a consistent draw, with shoppers relying on in-store guidance to navigate the range of blends, rubs, and single spices on offer.
