Spice Up Your Life

Whether you're planning a barbeque, searing a salmon, or baking a batch of cookies, The Spice House can put sweetness 'n spice into every bite.
Stepping into the store, you're met by the heady aroma of exotic spices. Breathe. Then take in the sight of a vast collection of the world's most treasured herbs and spices, from ajowan to za'atar.
Bonus sighting: Chicago chefs who call The Spice House their secret ingredient.
Rapid turnover of the stock ensures its amazing freshness. And because you're buying by the ounce, you won't be wasting your money on big, branded containers of herbs that quickly lose their punch sitting on your kitchen shelf.
Looking for excellent hand-made vanilla sugar? A variety of salts? Or maybe an unparalleled collection of vanilla products? The selections will inspire you.
Choose one of the store's many specialty rubs for marinating or grilling meat, fish and vegetables or discover the Chicago Neighborhood Blends for an ethnic taste tour.
And depend on the staff to help you find what you need, discover something new, get cooking tips or recipes.
Need to find a gift? A Spice House gift certificate is perfect for anyone who loves food.
Or consider a Spice House Gift Box filled with hand-packed jars of freshly ground and blended spices and herbs. Pre-packaged or design your own options are available. Every box is beautifully packaged with a fragrant combination of bay leaves, cinnamon sticks and whole nutmeg. Whatever the occasion, this gift makes great scents!
