I rely on Penzeys spices for everything and as a past, successful restaurant owner, will continue to gift Penzeys to my friends, family and highly recommend to others.
Whenever I find a recipe with some spice I have not heard of this is where I look first. And then I end up with other things I didnt plan to buy because their spices and herbs are so much better than what you find at the grocery store. Also I appreciate that they require masks.
Hidden jem in Kansas City area. Great selection of spices and helpful staff! If you want to add more to your cooking go here!
The stores curbside-only policy is stated both on the front page of their site and here on Google Maps. Im glad Penzeys is keeping their employees safe, and not making them enforce a mask policy in a store where people like to smell things. Online ordering was quick, and they called me within 15 minutes of placing my order to set up a pickup time; my items were waiting for me on a shelf by the door when I arrived. Easy process, and quality product.
I have shopped at Penzeys for years. I drove half an hour to the store today and quickly realized it isnt open the the public yet. I called curbside to see if I could get an order filled since I was there and was told by a very snotty employee that they didnt have time and I needed to go home and order. Also reminded me in a condescending tone this has been the case since last March. During the pandemic I have ordered online and have it shipped to my house. I wanted to get a last minute thank you gift and my usual order. I thought I could get this curbside. I think it would be beneficial if you said exactly how you handle curbside. Especially since the curbside sign I called from said you could help me out. (Not that you have to order online and wait for a call) Maybe other others wouldnt have to feel like a burden for trying to buy things from your store then.
Great selection of fresh ground spices. I like their curry varieties.
Lots of spices to enhance culinary curiosity.Terrific selections.
Good selection at reasonable prices. I wish they would not disparage Pope Francis
Love their spices, am tired of their political rhetoric. For several years I have ignored their rants, believing everyone has a right to their opinion, and even sometimes agreeing with them, but they have just gotten too far into the decisive, my way is the only way mentality that I think is tearing our country apart. Why not use your platform to work for knowledge and unity? Maybe even give both sides of the story, because most of is are not single minded in our political commitments. If you love good spices and herbs, without the ugliness of rants and talking down to lectures, I highly recommend Savory Spice or Burlap and Barrel, both respectful and ethical businesses.
Good spice shop with a wide variety of spices and spice blends. I usually find what Im looking for.
Same as others. Walked up as I didnt know did they were only doing web orders. Called them and they said I still had to order via the web and wait for the other orders to be filled (hours later) even though I was standing outside their door. Easy, Ill take my business elsewhere
My go-to place for spices that I need and spices that add that something special to everything! Staff is super helpful and friendly!
We love Penzeys and drive about an hour to get there. We only use their spices. They have a much more robust flavor than anything at the grocery store and their employees are wonderful! Their online ordering and curbside pick up works well and weve used it several times since the pandemic began. We miss going in the store, but we do believe they are doing what is right and I hope everyone continues to support them through all of this!
Drove to your shop from South Overland Park, only to find your doors locked!Would have been nice if your website had this information before we made the trip!It only said OPEN! How closing on a Saturday to “HELP” people has just backfired! You just lost a long time customer.
I discovered Penzeys while attending The Farmers Market in Overland Park, KS. My husband and were so impressed by the cleanliness, the easy set up for spice displays, the beautiful aroma, the friendliness of the staff to help out, and of course the freshness of the spices are out of this world. You never know how long a spice has been on the shelf at the store, but you can tell immediately when you open a jar of Penzeys spices, that it is fresh as can be. Thank you to all of you at Penzeys for caring enough to be there for all of us who love your fresh spices, that during these hard times we can at least still buy your fresh spices.
Was told about this amazing place by one of my elderly friends. Theres so many amazing products.i wish I found them sooner.
It says online that it is open but I drove through a some today to get a spice I needed for a dish for the super bowl party tomorrow to learn they are riding the lazy train of COVID and claiming continued fear that they might be the .01% to get sick and die I guess. They are still closed and doing all business online. So much for the ton of groceries in my back seat for tomorrows dish that need that spicy. Maybe they should update their online information with Google. If big box stores can manage to function with hundreds of people in and out each day and create jobs it is time for the mom and pop stores to quit belly aching and step up or step out.
Went to Penzey Spices today only to find they are still not open to the public. This seems ridiculous that a retail store is still hoping to stay in business via curbside pickup only. I recommend reopening very soon before you have permanenelty discouraged any customers you might have left.
Always have what you need and a few things you never thought youd need
I drove 86 miles to Penzys to get spices, I was going to place an order when one of the many workers came out and told us they couldnt take any more orders. It was 3:00, they close at 5:00, but they were closing at 4:30. We could come back the next day to pick it up. When we explained how far we had come all she said was sorry. This is the second time we have had no service from Penzys, I love their spices but not enough to try again.
I drove forty minutes to shop at this store. I didn’t realize until arriving that they’re only open for curbside. I saw a sign outside that said to call and they would assist me. When I asked about ordering, I was told that I’d have to place an order, and they’d eventually let me know my pickup time. I asked if I could just order and pick up now, but instead of someone taking my order, I was reminded of how that would be such a massive inconvenience that they couldn’t do it. I was kind of stumped, here I am, seeing local businesses talk about how they’re struggling, I’m begging these people to take my money and I’m somehow inconveniencing everyone in the store. I typically spend $75-$100 on spices each time I come here, I also gift spices to family, but thus will be the last time I’ll attempt to inconvenience you with my business. Your product is amazing, but your staff needs some serious training. I hope this business model is sustainable. I will not return.
Too political. They just sent an 800+ word email lecturing their customers on how to vote and belittling half their customer base for their political affiliations. I just wanted a good spice store. When I want preaching I go to church.
Got what I wanted. Was not aware that the store was closed and only taking orders over the phone or on line. All the other stores in the area are open for walk in business. I explained to the person who answered the phone that I was outside. She reluctantly took my order (as a one time favor) telling me how busy they normally are and cant fill orders while you wait.Should they not be greatful you a loyal and not going to Amazon for your spices.If they are to busy, why not hire order takers and order fillers and bless each loyal customers who are hard to come by?
Well, let’s preface this tale with the assertion that the spices are incredible. Now let’s get to the amazing experience that was attempting to shop there. This location is prime real estate in downtown OP, and as it turns out, might as well be off the beaten path is some random shopping center. It is certainly worth noting that we are in the time of COVID and as such, shopping has changed. To that end, the store has some delightful signs facing the street asserting that one can either buy online, or you can call them at the number listed on the sign and an employee would be happy to help you. My wife was able to discover that an employee was not, in fact, willing to help out. We approached the front door, reading the signs in the windows as we walked, and upon reaching the door, saw that there was no option to enter the store. Fair enough, COVID is not to be trifled with. As to try to not waste the trip, my wife called the listed number and an employee opened the door, proceeded to cut her off, ignore the “we’ll help” signs, and demand the order be placed online. So much for calling and speaking with a helpful employee. Also, the store is sitting there with plenty of stock, but when one orders online, there is a 24 hour wait time along with a demand that you not even approach the store until you receive a call giving you clearance. Overall, this business has great product, but if you are purchasing in the time of COVID, be prepared to be talked down to in every step of the process.Update: they do not in fact do curbside pickup. You are instead required to walk up to the door and sort through the pile of packages to find your own.
These people are gracious and socially responsible--dissatisfied with Trump, ready for a new beginning
Great selection. Friendly awesome staff. My boyfriend and I went in in search of tandoori spice. Because hed been looking everywhere for it. The guy working there said yes we have it and took him right to it, everywhere else wed looked the staff gave him a look like he was making up words. We looked around and found other amazing spices that we couldnt live without, I kept finding more and more that I wanted (probably will end up buy at least 1 of everything before long) The female working there was so nice and gave me a history of the store when Id find a spice I was interested in she would suggest uses for it and a real idea of what flavor(s) it would add to the dish. We will be there on a regular basis and have found our new favorite spice and seasoning shop. Could not recommend this shop more, great selection; amazing service and extremely knowledgeable staff too. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love penzeys spices! more to the point, I love Penzey employees customer service skills. very quick and very friendly.
Despite what the Google listing says, they are closed on Sundays. This is a great store. Hopefully they will update this information promptly.
Penzeys has the best selection of spices I have ever found and always great prices and deals. I look forward to going to Penzeys to see if they have anything new and sometimes just enjoy smelling all the delicious spice blends. I like that the spices always smell and taste so fresh and that they will make recommendations on what to use them for if you arent familiar with what you are getting. The staff always seems knowledgeable and friendly as well. Glad to have a store so close to home.
Knowledgeable and friendly associates.Prices slightly higher than what you can buy at a grocery store, BUT these are fresher and more flavorful. Well worth the extra jingle. They have specials often if you sign up for their email list.They carry every spice imaginable. Glad I found this place.
I love this place!!! The spices they have are of a very quality, many do not have salt in them, which is fantastic!!!! The staff is also fantastic!!! They are extremely helpful and just a joy to be around. They make the shopping experience worth the trip!
This place is great! I drive all the way from Lawrence to buy spices here. Try the Sunny Paris on eggs. Wonderful!!!
Not a fan of this place.
For spices and mixes, it’s robust and I use them all the time.- Their vanilla rocks!- Bicentennial Rub is almost like a BBQ rub.- I use the Wasabi powder in my hamburger when I’m cooking it - I find it enhances the flavor without overwhelming it.- Toasted Onion Powder is AWESOME!- I bought a bag of Bay Leaves and they are so fragrant with so much more flavor than the options in grocery chain stores.- Roasted Garlic is great!- Dutch Process High Fat Cocoa smells heavenly and is just as good in homemade brownies.
I love Penzeys! Got hooked on it from the first time I had Arizona Dreaming in a beef chili! I also love the Sunny in Paris on eggs of any sort, but what keeps me shopping there is their willingness to be truthful in a time when others aren’t! To stand up for what is right and to have the strength to speak out even if it may cost them business. I tell everyone I know about Penzeys and love to pass extra spices out when I can! Thank you Bill and Penzeys for being a voice for real people!
Love this place!
Love this shop! Quaint location in old downtown Overland Park KS. Giant selection of spices and spice blends, some salt free, bonus! Gift boxes and coorporate magazine with recipes available. Warm and friendly staff. Be sure to visit some of the other small businesses nearby, great area atmosphere.
You wont buy any other spices after trying these! I now have 4 different cinnamons!!!! 4 !!! There is a huge difference in each one! As well as so many others. I promise it wont disappoint
Ggh (gotta go here)
Not open as of now. Only curb side delivery. Had to go to website to order. Decided not to because of the groups they endorse. Very disappointed in this company that I have endorsed and used for years.
Very overpriced for a simple mix of spices
Love this shop! The staff is always delightful and helpful. There are so many delicious spice mixes available. The vanilla section is fantastic! Im a chef and most of the spices I use come from Penzeys. They also carry a great selection of gift box spice sets and even carry sample sizes for you to try.
Great spices, great prices, knowledgeable staff. Penzeys has turned me into a spice hoarder!
Would have been 5 stars IF we could have put on our masks and actually been able to go into the store!! Most likely would have spent a lot more money too!!
Ive gone here multiple times and I love their spices. Today though - they lost my service. It was beyond cold outside and they didnt open the door. It was well past opening hours. All I wanted was some Arizona Dreaming. Not anymore. They clearly dont value my time or money.
Always go to Penzeys when I am in town! The staff is always super friendly and extremely helpful with any questions. Spices are always incredibly fresh and full flavored even their seasoning blends are great and add a wonderful touch to all your dishes. If I may suggest check out the Roasted Garlic powder! Also final thing sign up for their emails and get free stuff!
Excellent selection, reasonable prices, friendly staff. My favorites are Fox Point, Shallot Pepper, Vietnamese Cinnamon, and Ruth Anns Chicken and Fish seasoning. 💜 Their political voice!
Their spices are much more potent, full of flavor. Strongly recommend their pepper (really packs a punch!) And the Chicago mixed seasoning for grilling. Its perfect for burgers, steaks, and anything else you want to throw on a grill!
The usual super
Cute little shop nestled in a mini strip mall. An employee stated they have been in the same location for 17 years, which is pretty impressive especially with the political stance, often stated, of their CEO. I was unhappy to find out they no longer ship, which dropped the rating, but still a pretty nice place to stock up on spices.
I started my love affair with Penzeys several years ago when I received a few as a gift. It wasnt until I moved into the area that I really started my spice collection. The store is well stocked, friendly employees, and theres always something new! Sign up for the emails if you want to get coupons for free spices!
Their blends are great pricey though better to go to the KC farmers market 1/4 cup scoop for 2 bucks.
I love all of the spices I have received here. They are very fresh. It is a great place to shop for gifts and they have a nice gift set selection. If you sign up for the mailing list they send coupons for free spices.
Awesome staff!! Great products!!
Fantastic store, has all sorts of great spices and herbs in perfect size containers. They also have sampling jars to sniff...Great staff too...
A fantastic array of potent spices of all kinds. Individually and in wonderful blends. A knowledgeable, friendly staff is ready to assist you in decision-making and being sure youre up to date with the company emails with weekly heavy-discount coupons.
I went with my daughter. Her roomie needed juniper berries for his Thanksgiving turkey and this was the only place we could find them. I love to cook aand I think I am in for a whole new experience. Honey, better take my credit card away!
Any spice rub or seasoning one could ever need for fancy or bachelor style cooking, can be found here an then pick up a large bottle or two of the garlic olive oil@ the tasteful olive down the street / next door.
Love this spice shop! The variety is awesome and the prices are even better. Will definitely be going back.
Amazing spices...but feel strange supporting them because of their creepy politics.
The only place I buy my spices. Love going into the store, but online works well also.
If you like to cook or bake Penzeys is the place for you. They have an amazing selection and it is all high quality at lower than grocery store prices.
Friendly staff took me to what I wanted right away. Their spices are amazing!
Ever wonder about a herb or spice before you buy them? You can smell everything in this store. Curious about a blend? Check it put before you buy it! You can get a small 1/4 cup, larger 1/2 cup or a large bag! Mulling spice? They have it. Vanilla extract? Single and double strength. Vanilla beans too. Worth a visit!
This morning Tamera and Joe helped me with a curbside delivery that I had placed on line. Thank you for being there for me.On linemy order.
I dont ever leave here without spending more than I planned but Ive never been dissatisfied that I did. Their selection is phenomenal, have your sniffer be prepared to bring its A game. I always have Vietnamese cinnamon, mural of flavor and smoked paprika on hand!
Sooo many spices and herbs. I love the way they portion everything. They have some very unique spices as well.They even sell cute empty bottles too.
This is The Most Amazing Store. I Love to take people here ~ not only do they have a HUGE selection of Fresh Unique Spice Options but they have glass jars of Every Spice & Spice Blend they sell. So you can learn about Spices you have heard of or haven’t & see & smell & taste them before you buy. It’s a fun & excellent culinary education & recipes are available & the staff is friendly & well-versed in spices & uses & can answer questions & direct you to spices for every kind of food & cooking & ethnic food choices as well as baking spices & salad dressing spice blends so you can make your own healthy salad dressing & wonderful options for Gift Boxes to give for Unique Gifts Everyone Can Use.I Highly Recommend This Unique & Wonderful Store & Experience. The company is also very generous & donates spices to worthy causes like the Hurricane Victims last year who lost their homes. Customers could also join in donating by buying products & the company itself also made a huge donation of spices to each area hit by the Hurricanes. So you can also know you are supporting a Great & Thoughtful Company. Be sure to check it out soon. Bring a Friend !!
Well ..my bad...i did it again. Looked forward to picking up some great spices ...but didnt look up their closing time . Often get off work at 5:30 and ...by the time I drive over to Penzeys they have closed. (6pm) . I wish the shops in this area would flex an additional hr later to accommodate people that work the day shift they do. SAD...
Selection and savings!! You can not beat the emailed coupons! Ive been able to try so many spices for free... Great advertising because Im usually hooked!!
One of my favorite places to shop! Their products are incredible, but that customer service is as well!
Good spices but they are liberal loons & push their politics off on you. No thanks, I will spend my money elsewhere.
We had a field day of sniffing many spices, some exotic. We loaded up on a few and enjoyed the casual, laid-back.. but customer concerned attention afforded us during our visit.
Great spices!! They have everything and it is very authentic. All for a reasonable price
Everyone was very helpful. I had a million questions and they answered them all. Prices are great the spices are even better. A very wide variety of different spices.
Unexcelled in the variety and QUALITY of their spices. If you like to cook - if you like to EAT- penzeys is a must!
I love their products, but realized today theyve been scamming me when I check out. They offered me a choice between two sets of herbs. I thought they were free samples! After I left, I looked at my receipt, and realized I had been charged for them. They never told me that! I didnt ask for, or want, these additional products!!! This has happened before, but I didnt realize I was being charged for them until today. Very disappointed with this shady practice.
I found what I was looking for. The service was great. I definitely will go again.
Always a great place to shop if you dont want bland food. Its almost overwhelming to see the huge assortment of spices, herbs, cocoa, gift packs, etc. Love the place!
Great shop! Something for every dish you could want to make. Love this place!
Excellent place to find a gift for someone in your life that loves to cook. You will always be able to find something they dont have in their spice rack. The selection of salt free spices is voluminous. And the prices are great, too.
Penzeys has The Best selection of spices, they are fresh!
Great little store with a huge message. I love to visit the OP store every time I visit.
Wonderful place! We only buy our spices from here. Make a stop everytime we are in Kansas City
Great place for fresh spices. They have all the ones youre looking for and hundreds more for you to discover.
One of the BEST shops in Old Downtown Overland Park! Best spices in the world! I love it when Bill Penzy gets pissed at the current political situation....Everybody gets FREE stuff! Keep speaking your mind Bill!
Love, love, love Penzeys! Great quality spices. Have used exclusively for years @
Nice little spice shop. You can end up spending some dough if youre not careful. Fresher than grocerie stores.
Awesome staff, great location, the best product ever, reasonable prices. What more could you ask for?This one of my favorite stores and their spices even make me look like I know how to cook!
Penzeys staff is superb and accommodating and their products are fresh and fabulous. Theyve improved my cooking.
Great spice shop. High quality ingredients. They also have great gift box options for almost any occasion. We will definitely be back.
You should know by know that there is no better place to get your spices and such than Penzys ! Weve been been happy customers for years, and we feel like family by the way they treat us. (It seems they treat most everyone that way). By the way, their product quality is truly excellent and their selection is the same. Do yourself a favor and stop in
Its always fun to come here. You can smell all the spices. They sell them in varying quantities so you can get as much as you need. Their smoked Spanish paprika is fantastic.
They have the best spices.
Pretty expensive spices, but its fun to visit and look around. I appreciate all the different varieties of cinnamon and vanilla Penzeys has. Just wish I could afford to buy some.
Great place for just about any spice you might need!
Great spices from a company that seems to be very decent.If you are looking for a spice, theyve got it. They also have spice blends which are great too. Ive never been let down by the quality of the products at Penzeys.
