Penzeys is a magical wonderland. The only sad part is that, these days because of covid precautions, you cant smell all the spices. One day, it will be possible again. Until then, youll just have to content yourself with buying wonderful spices.

Construction vehicles covered a lot of the parking lot, but we were able to find a good parking spot and go in. The store is clean required masks, not crowded and had every thing I wanted. And a few things I didnt even realize I wanted till I saw them! Helpful but not pushy employees were a real plus.

I love this store. They have a vast selection of spices from all around the world. I get all of my seasonings from here. Plus if you sign up for their email list you receive discounts on popular spices and even free spices with just a $5 purchase.

Really love the spices and appreciate the political message.

An extremely helpful staff- willing to go above and beyond with checking ingredients in blends.

They can meet all your spice needs. They have some wonderful spice mixed, too. I never buy spices anywhere else.

They are open for curbside pickup and are oh so helpful by phone 🥰 i put my order in online and picked it up in person - sometimes, i just want my things now rather than getting them shipped. plus, i love this falls church shop, as well as the quality of the spices. they even put your order on a cute little crate by the front door.

Amazing selection of great spices, I have been a customer for almost 20 years.

Love this place! Love their spices! Theyre flavourful and full and Im obsessed. McCormicks who?

Excellent selection and quality; friendly staff; and great company values (sign up for their mailing list!) - What’s not to love?

What wonderful customer service! Penzey spices and I go way back, before we were lucky to get a storefront in our neighborhood. Not realizing I couldnt enter the store because of the pandemic, I placed called to the store from the parking lot and low and behold my order was waiting for me within minutes. The guy who answered the phone could not have been more efficient and was so friendly. Thank you for making me feel like a valued customer.

Best spices, spice mixes, & staff around. A million times better than Flavor Gods!!

Beautifully stocked with high quality spices (many that are hard to find elsewhere), immaculately clean store, incredibly friendly staff, and a company with values I can be proud to support. Ill shop here again and again.

Fantastic, high-quality spices you have to smell to believe. Selection includes pantry staples (like garlic powder and cinnamon) along with harder to find spices (white peppercorns, dried peppers, and whole seeds) and global spice blends (Chinese 5-spice, Garam Masala, steak rub, barbeque seasoning, etc). All spices come in mini and standard jars or bulk bags.Staff are lovely and knowledgeable. Signing up for the email list yeilds frequent rewards (free samples of blends). Couldnt love Penzys more!

Friendly and knowledgeable service about their shops extensive variety of spices. And the place smells wonderful.

Great selection of spices with more depth within a general category.

Penzeys Spices is a unique and delightful shop. The Falls Church staff are terrific. The British woman is one of the loveliest sales people in the region. Correction: in the world. She makes the shopping experience all the more delightful.Penzeys offers high quality herbs and spices. They also have fantastic herb and spice blends. Plus they have a variety of rare and difficult to find herbs/spices. For the gourmet home cook Penzeys is a treasure trove. For the novice cook Penzeys will be an oft visited library and place of learning.The shop is warm, inviting, well-organized and neat. Many of the herbs/spices and all of Penzeys blends are in labeled apothecary jars. Make sure to open them up to take in their scent. It really helps in the decision making process.They also sell beautiful hand-crafted wood mills for pepper, salt, nutmeg etc...gift boxes and baking supplies.They have a lot of promotions. Sign-up for their emails and catalogue to be in-the-know.

Excellent quality spices at a reasonable price, plus helpful and knowledgeable staff. I always wind up leaving with more than I intended to buy.

We love this store, we were met at the door and advised that we had to call in our order. Order and pick up less than 5 minutes. Thank you, take care and be safe.

Not open for browsing but great staff and website. Prepaid for a gift card to send for Christmas and picked it up at the door. Very easy!

There is no place like Penzeys for spices! The flavors are stronger and better than you have ever found in a grocery store. The blends are take your cooking to the next level, allowing you to explore regional flavors and reduce the salt in your foods.

Love this place! Friends come from out of state to visit me and Penzeys!

Amazing that stores like this can still survive but Im glad Penzeys is here! I really enjoyed walking around the store and picking out spice blends. They have all the basics and then a countless amount of unique rubs and blends. Great idea for a gift or to treat yourself. Prices were reasonable as well.

Ordered online and was able to get curbside pickup fast and easy! Highly recommend!

Great service, always helpful!

I love Penzeys products. Once youve had their super fresh, highest quality herbs and spices, you will never go back to the inferior stuff on grocery store shelves. And I love their company philosophy and ethics, in particular their open support of diversity. This store is super clean with a friendly helpful staff. Always a great shopping experience!

So hard to stick to a budget when I shop here. Ive been an online Penzeys shopper for years and am always pleased with the quality and price. The staff at the Falls Church store are patient and helpful. The parking lot can get a little cutthroat, but theres an additional parking structure just beyond that.

Wow! Absolutely love this shop. The spices are high quality, the prices are completely reasonable, the staff are helpful and friendly, and almost every visit seems to result in several free gifts. The online shopping options are great too.

A pretty nice, quaint little store. They had some decent promos at the time. A free 4-count box of different spices with any purchase and a choice between two spices if you spend over $40 or so. There are jars to open and smell every spice there. They come in usually three different sizes (sm, med, lg). Price-wise, it will NOT be cheaper by any means than say, McCormick but they have some different and unique blends. There are also information cards to help you get an idea what to use each spice for. Small store, good atmosphere. No complaints.

Best selection of fresh spices, herbs, and seasoning blends ever! Ill never go back to dusty, stale supermarket spices again. Fair prices, excellent service, and free stuff too! Love this place. Be sure to subscribe to the newsletter for updated deals and special offers.

Personal favorite is Northwoods on just about everything. Next favorite is Tuscan Sunset.

I make a special trip to come here. It is a Bazaar of every spice you ever need. I had signed up for emails and often get coupons for free spices. Friendly, helpful staff. You can browse for as long as you like. No pressure to buy. Have introduced several friends to this place.

Great spices, great people! We especially love Foxpoint (especially good on eggs), Tuscan Sunset, Northwoods, Florida Pepper, Greek, Murial of Flavor to name a few. Great Christmas gifts and they allow you to make your own mix and match box. Of you found this review helpful please like. Thank you!

Tremendous selection. More reasonably priced than expected. Join the email list for deals. Amazing ideas for wedding or house gifts.

Excellent selection. Terrific, helpful staff. I appreciate the abundance of salt free options available. 🧂🌶️🌿

Excellent selection of spices, salts, and blends. Always high quality ingredients and knowledgeable employees. There is almost always a sale going on or a giveaway, just ask the associate and they can help you find the best deal.

Ladies are very friendly and very knowledgeable about what they sell

I love Penzeys. I shopped online for their herbs and spices long before the store opened in the area. Their products keep expanding so their is always something new to try. I also love their promoting of kindness and social justice.

I absolutely love this shop! These spices have put my cooking into a whole new league. The staff are always very helpful and take as much time is needed to help with any questions you might have. They dont make you feel rushed or like you are bothering them if you need something. Make sure you sign up for their emails, they send out coupons for free spices all the time!

Great spice selection - you can find it all here. Multiple varieties of cinnamon, black pepper, and Chilis plus many of their own blends for just about anything you can think of - baking, curry, sausage, salads, etc. This is a fun place for cooks to shop.

All the herbs and spices available in the catalog without the hassle of mail-order. Sign up for their emails, and they will honor the special offers here. Easy in and out, with easy parking in the lot behind. Hard not to spend a lot of money here

Fantastic selection

Love it!! Great products and helpful staff. I have only been disappointed once--when they stopped sending the magazine. Boo!I especially love that you can smell all the spices.

The best spices ever!

Foodie here. Hands down, best spices I have ever found. And their proprietary blends!!! I cant say enough :0)

If you are looking for fresh quality spices you must try Penzeys. Plenty of parking in the back if the street is full. The staff is very helpful. The prices are reasonable but not the same as you might find in a grocery store.

An awesome shop. Prices are generally better than the supermarkets. Quality is excellent. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Charming store and wonderful spices! What more could a cook want?! Its a bit of a drive for me, so I may order online but its a great to go and I will from time to time

I went for the first time this weekend and now have my go-to shop for spices. Knowledgeable staff, great selection, and reasonable prices. I especially liked the take home recipe cards throughout the shop that help you meal plan with the various spices. Highly recommended!

I love Penzeys. Their blends and extracts are fantastic. The staff is friendly without being pushy. I still buy my single herbs and spices from MOMs because I can refill my own jars and cut down on the waste. If Penzeys had that option it may be my one stop shop.

The nicest staff here! They give you all the free things when you checkout. Answer questions only when you approach them though. Store is clean and well-organized though

Penzeys is the best! The staff is always so nice. And I could spend all day smelling their samples.

High quality spices and awesome spice blends. Ive been going here for a few years now. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

If you value flavor in your kitchen, you will love Penzeys. Just stop in, you will understand. Every spice, herb or mix has a sample jar nearby that you can open and smell before you buy.

Absolutely love the company, their employees and their store.The store has just about anything you can imagine and the staff is very helpful with tips and suggestions.The store also has a whole pirate themed play area, where kids can draw and give their parents the 5-10 minutes to browse without the constant tugging on sleeves :)

People who genuinely care about your best cooking

Fun store, with friendly staff! Lots of interesting blends, and helpful labels!

Finest herb and spice collection Ive found...Great selection, helpful advice and recipes, free parking, delightful place to visit. Always reminds me of our late friend Micki, a fabulous cook, who loved Penzeys.

Tons of great spices. Fox Point is on point. Shallot Pepper is amazing. Its pretty wonderful how you can essentially make recipes with the right seasoning. The staff is helpful, and very nice.

I love to cook. And that means spices. This place has what you need and more. Delicious varied Ingredients for whatever you need. Enjoy.

Nice establishment with off street parking. There is handicap accessible parking and entrance. Spices are alphabetical by type and if you are unable to find.what you are looking for, you can ask the friendly help.

Penzeys Spices are top notch when it comes to cooking, it just makes your dish that much better

Its great to have Penzeys here as a dedicated spice store. Several types of pepper and salts as well as some rarer items. Become a member and they have great discounts! Also lgbt friendly. :)

My favorite products are the barbecue rub and the Chili 9000. If you spend $50, you may get freebies. There may be weekend freebies. They really make it worth the trip. I love going to the store. The trouble is using up the spices. ☺

I LOVE PENZEYS! Great spices, reasonable prices, and always a good promo going on. I love that they have a kids area, so my son can color while I look at spices and seasoning blends.

Love the selection, the atmosphere, and friendly/knowledgeable/helpful staff. They have numerous herbs and spices which are not available in my local stores.

Love the combinations that they create here! I can try all I like to make spices and spice combinations but Penzeys just does it better!

This place is a bit costly, but they have really good spices. I absolutely love their Southwestern spice. I dont know what its called but its saltfree and great on tacos.

I welcomed by the two Sue’s. They are a treasure I also learned all about the different types of cinnamon. Great spices at great prices

Love Penzeys! Fabulous selection of spices and outstanding specials. Customer service is truly top notch--cant go wrong with Penzeys if you are in the market for fresh spices or an inexpensive, fun gift for someone who likes to cook! Parking is usually easy.

High quality spices and well crafted blends. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Socially conscious. Totally worth the trip.

Given my wifes cooking preferences, dunno what wed do without a place like this. Great selection. Fair prices.

Great spices, but poorly organized. How about A-Z Spices in something resembling alpha order?

Staff is so lovely and the turkish spice is so good! It goes on everything from meat to veg in my house!

Tons of wonderful spices and very nice staffs.

Great spices with a civic kick! They encourage everyone to vote and even close the store on election day to encourage it.

The most amazing staff imaginable. They clearly work here because they love what they do. I ALWAYS learn something when I take the time to ask.

This place has a wonderful selection and good customer service. I will definitely be returning.

Great spices and the store smells great.

Super friendly staff and the best spices around. Excellent blends of flavor

What an incredible selection! And the staff were very nice and super accommodating.

Friendly, helpful spice shop selling a high quality product. Theres often a good deal or two on the gift box sets as well which make great gifts.

If youre a serious cook and like a nice, broad selection of fresh, potent spices, this place is hard to beat.

Best variety of peppercorns Ive seen in the area. Wish there were more.

Every spice youve ever heard of and a bunch you havent can be found here. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Great selection, friendly staff fun specials, kids area

No collusion. Total exoneration. 😎

Love their spices! Great deals! Excellent customer service!

Love this store! Fabulous selection of high-quality spices and the staff is so helpful.

Great freshly prepared dried herbs and spices. Good prices too

Parking is limited, product five star, staff wonderful

The people at Penzeys are very helpful.

Very nice employees and they had all the unique Indian spices that I was looking for.

One of the best spice shop I have ever encountered.

Excellent product quality with great variety but prices are quite high for some things.

Great place to find any spice you can think of with a very knowledgeable staff.

They have the freshest herbs and seasonings you didnt even realize you couldnt live without

Friendly service and reasonably priced specialty spices

Visiting a Penzeys is always a delight, but the staff at this location are particularly kind and helpful. Go support one of the best spice shops out there!
