I love this shop! There are so many varieties of spices and teas. I even bought a really cute tea infuser here. The people are also very nice!! I recommend this store.
Best shop on the pier for me. Staff was really helpful and fun. Quality of items in the store was stellar. They are great for visiting if you want a tea for later or to get one of their brewed teas to drink. Spices and sugars ensure theres something for everyone when you visit.
The quality is great and theres a lot of variety. The staff is super friendly and can answer any questions. Definitely my favorite shop on the pier.
It’s a nice, boutique tea shop that offers a variety of fun tea blends and hot/cold tea drinks. Like everything on Pier 39, their goods are priced high. $6 for a tea with no boba, no milk, and barely any sweetness (I don’t like stevia at all) makes me question that their pricing. All but one staff we encountered was engaging and friendly. Be aware that some of the staff are transgender.
Im not a tea drinker but this place made me start loving it! The creme brulee with the butterscotch sugar is a must! The employees were very polite, knowledgeable,and very welcoming. Definitely a spot to visit if you love tea and spice.
This Tea shop has an assortment of fabulous teas! I love the way the shop is set up “small & cute” with every tea you can think of & the aromas draw you in every direction. Every time I visit San Francisco I make sure a stop by to stock up, I would give it a 5 star rating, however the staff is RUDE they follow you around even after you told them ‘I’m ok, I know what I’m looking for’ and to top it off I had a handful of tea bags and when purchasing I wasn’t advice of their promo “buy 5 get 1 free” by the cashier. I was about to proceed to pay when another customer behind me told me I can get one free because I had 5 tea bags. I asked the cashier If I qualify for that promo and she got bothered by me asking she rolled her eyes and said “yeah” with a huff under her breath. Needless, to say I was disappointed as I come here when visiting. I’ll have to find another tea shop.
We love this place. Even living in Switzerland we order regularly. Shipment no issue, just easy peasy. Try Tuscany Spyce Blend with olive oil and fresh bread - just mouthwatering, awesome!
Looking forward to you opening again.
Excellent customer service and they have a great variety of spices and teas. They employees are very knowledgeable and heloful.
An excellent tea location for those above boba
Amazing customer service! I was in for the holidays and purchased a dozen or so of the flavored sugars (rose sugar, espresso sugar, apple pie sugar-- yum!) for co-workers. They were festive little gifts, and were a huge hit! But then I left a bag in the store -- a unique puzzle that was purchased from the store across the pier -- and got on my flight to Los Angeles. The sweet staff at Spice & Tea Exchange went above and beyond to find the puzzle bag and mail it to me. It made it in time for the holiday! Great products and above and beyond customer service!
Such a cute little store with tons of spices and loose tea!! The Jasmine tea is by far my favorite. Next time, Ill try out some of the various spices they have. In this store, youre able to smell the teas and spices. Just ask!!
They have an amazing selection of some absolutely wonderful teas and spices and seasoning mixes. The staff member was very helpful and super friendly. I will definitely be going back, so much I NEED to try!!!
So many flavors of tea and spice! I felt like I was in spice heaven! My daughter likes the Jasmine Pearl tea and I like the Ginger and Tumeric! I also like the honey spoons! Its worth going in and checking it out on Pier 39 in San Francisco! Oh yeah, they also have herb pencils that you can plant, after you use them, to have fresh herbs at your fingertips! How awesome is that? 😃
Wonderful little stop upstairs on Pier 39. The Spice and Tea Exchange has local and far off tea and spice blends, perfect out-of-the-box souvenirs for friends and family. I stopped in this week before heading home and picked up their spiced ham rub and turkey blend as a souvenir for my mom who was house-sitting. Great thank you before the holidays. All of the staff are very friendly and willing to help, offer advice and feedback. Although theyre not in my backyard, they ship throughout the US.
Absolutely fantastic place to go for tea! They can brew you a cup of whatever tea, sugar and spice type youd like. The coconut sugar had me wanting to come back! You can purchase tea, spices and a range of types of sugar to take home too of course - they have more types of sugar than I knew existed! If youre heading to the pier, youve gotta come here and try it!
A little expensive but nothing less a awesome. The people that work here are super helpful and allow tasting of the salt, spice and sugar blends they sell. I walked out with 6 different blends. I just couldnt help myself. Im sure once I run out of the blends I bought Ill be back for more.
The manager Kyle is helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. I havent been to Fishermans Wharf / Pier 39 in a long time. Loved seeing the Christmas decorations, too. Definitely worth the trip for high quality spices and teas.
Awesome store, extremely friendly staff as well. The smell in the store from all the spices was very aromatic. It has a good selection of teas as well, though the tea did seem a little over-priced. Its understandble given that they are a small store. This store is a great addition to pier 39.
Expected a larger tea selection. Did not have tea bags available. Clerk was helpful in suggesting an alternative, however tea bags were needed instead.
Many varieties of teas and spices. Been coming to pier 39 for a long time now but it was only this time I noticed this store. Its on the second flr right across alcatraz souvenir shop. Tea lovers would definitely love this place
Marly was so sweet, knowledgeable, and helpful, especially about which sugars pair well with different types of tea! They have a great selection of sugars, spices, and tea. Would love to come back if I visit San Francisco again :)
Love the many flavors of tea.Make sure t ok ask for the smaller packet of tea if buying to go/trying out a flavor beforehand.I love my bigger bags but its a big oof on the wallet and u wanna make sure you love it.(which it usually is.)
We visit here every time we are in Frisco. Love the fresh smell of spice! We get the spices we dont normally find at home. Great service too!!
Great experience sampling wonderful blends, spices, teas and rubs. The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and this shop is a definite stop for folks who love to cook. Their truffle salt (very popular) and espresso rub (a terrific meat tenderizer) are two of my favorites. For holidays and special occasions, a sampler of their products makes a terrific gift.
Was not impressed with this store. I was actually depressed. I was not greeted when I came in the door. When I walked over to the tea area they only had about 7 teas to choose from. This store is not properly serviced. This lets me know that the owners really don’t care about you as a customer or the business at all. Then again we are talking about California and everything and everybody travel to a different tune out here. Coming from a family who owns multiple stores in this business this store was very disappointing. I’m not sure I’d like to come back.
Very knowledgeable sales person! Super friendly and helpful. Teas are absolutely delicious!!
Great displays of teas. Beautiful store.
I got saffron!!!! Spices and mints. Unique spices. Love this place.
Very high energetic worker. She noticed other shoppers who had shopped there before. Nice selection and nice military discount.
Great selection knowledgeable staff
Great customer service. Had the privilege of talking with the store owner (Stephan) who helped me place my order. I recommend calling the store directly because if you order online it comes from FL. I will be placing many orders in the near future! Mirepoix and Everything Bagel are my favorites!!
Great selection and friendly staff
Unique and the employees are incredibly knowledgeable and nice.
This place has a great variety of spices and tea.
The blueberry black tea was my favorite! Such a great selection!
The best place to get all your spices and tea needs in San Francisco. The owners make their own spices and they are extremely helpful and nice. Recommended to all!!!!!!!! A+
The tea we got here was above awesomeand at a good price
If Im ever in San Francisco again I will be making a stop. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable.
Really cool selection of salts, peppers,meat rubs, pepper grinders ect
They have lots of little jars so you can smell the spices. Then they have packages of items so you can grab spice mixes/blends. My favorite is the Thai red curry mix. I actually dont use it for curry, but i put it on pork chops, let it marinate for 24 hrs and fry them up in a pan. We tend to get difference spices here to try and we havent been disappointed.
The Mystic Dragon is my favorite tea. I always have to stop by here to get some when Im in SF.
Great selection of teas and spices. Worth the visit.
You can smell everything in the store, and the people are very knowledgeable and friendly.
Love my time with Richard and Stephan. You guys rock!
So many choices. the Aroma just keeps you there
Very knowledgeable staff and very friendly!
Loved the salt block display
Great range of spices
Limited amount of offerings and tea novelties for a spice store, overcharging for the pleasure of the location and a nautical theme.
So cute!
Good selection of teas
Good spices
Nice
Great tea!
Lots of spices
Nice tea
Magical
Looove this place!!!!
Here are the most friendly sellers I have met in the city. They spent at least half an hour to help me in choosing spices. In addition, the staff here are well versed in cooking and will easily help you choose the best spices for any dish. More to such nice and knowledgeable people.
