Sonoma Spice Queen - Petaluma

The store is lovely, the spices are wonderful. You can turn a simple chicken into something wonderful with Sonoma Spice Queen's herbs and spices.

Sonoma Spice Queen is locally owned and her fresh, high-quality spice mixes are handcrafted from organic ingredients and without fillers. Spice mixes, like the Bodega Bay Seafood mix are salt and sugar free and rubs, including BBQ and Java and Spice can be made-to-order without salt and or sugar. The Chili Mix is my go-to Chili powder. It boasts a rich, smokey aroma and the authentic taste of Mexican Oregano. I 'm all-in on the versatile Italian Herb and Garlic mix for meat, pasta, pizza, eggs and stirred in olive oil as a dip. It has organic oregano, rosemary, parsley, basil and garlic, but the touch of red-pepper flakes is what has me hooked. Sonoma Spice Queen offers individual spices, mixes, rubs, artisan salts and the kind of gift packs I 'm always hoping to receive. The retail store is closed during Shelter in Place, but the online shop is open for shipping and FREE local delivery.

We went there when she was closed on a Monday but she so happened to be there so she let us in and let us look around, we found many different spices we like and purchased them. Super nice lady and awsome selection. If you use spices this is a place to go, she deals with organic certified and knows her stuff.

Since I mentioned it was my first visit, she graciously showed me around the front, highlighting the various spices. Then, she guided me to the larger back room, and I was completely in awe of the huge selection of spices available. Although I didn't really need anything, I wanted to explore and possibly pick up a few items for an advent calendar I’m creating. I had to restrain myself from buying everything in sight! Not only does she offer her own spices, rubs, salts, and teas made right there in the shop, but she also stocks local products like O olive oils, McEvoy Ranch olive oils, mustards, jams, Lala's Jams, local honey, and candies. There are even pre-packaged gift sets available, which makes it easy to find a special gift bundle. Now I understand why everyone raves about this place! I ended up buying several items, some for myself, and thanks to my Yelp check-in, I received a 10% discount on my purchase. I’m excited to support this wonderful business!

The restaurant offers an impressive selection of organic products, all completely salt-free, which are incredibly satisfying to the taste buds! Wind is an exceptional purveyor of her specialty products and delivers outstanding service!
