Stumbled upon a new spice shop next to Silverlake wines and it is heaven. They ground their spices in house!
An incredible selection & very warm staff. Prices are affordable, especially if you compare them to grocery store prices/quality. They will be having a grand opening event the first weekend of May!
So happy to have something like this nearby. I got their umami sea salt, it’s unreal.

How does a place like this survive, just with rent alone? They can’t be pulling in enough per month unless they’re doing wholesale business?
oh thats cool. and umami sea salt you say? Is it spice per pound or like container
It’s Oakland based and it’s a great place for unique spices if you like to cook. Levels up my steaks with their salts.
i’ve been ordering from them online for years, they are amazing. they JUST opened the los angeles shop. please everyone go support them!

I love this place I’ve been going in the Bay Area for years!
Went past weekend, spent a lot of money. Highly recommend.
LOVE this place, missed it ever since i moved to LA!
Their “Better Than Everything Bagel” spice blend is the mf’ing MVP. Blows the trader Joe’s version out of of the water by a long shot.
10/10 all around fantastic quality at Oaktown Spice. I’ve been shopping there for years every time I visit the bay.
Used to go all the time in Oakland and still order from them! Psyched it’s here!

Did Rockaway Records vacate?
no way!!! Can’t wait to visit
Why does the pic make me think of a surreptitious pot shop? 🤷🏻♂️
He who controls the spice…
ooh, thanks for sharing! Definitely going to check it out.
