Awesome and we learned a lot

Average Rating

The clerks were soooo helpful. They answered all of our questions and made us feel so welcome. Very informative regarding teas and spices. They listened and provided ideas based on our taste (buds). We went away with some great concoctions and couldn't wait to get home and enjoy them. Also, some rubs (spices) for my next bar-b-que. Prices were reasonable.

We went to this location while on vacation last week and Raven was so very helpful and kind. She listened to everything we said and helped us make our selections. She was not at all pushy. We have only been home a few days but have already tried all the products we bought and we love them all. Great service...

I could spend all day simply breathing in the exotic flavors and aromas spicing the air! They make all their own blends right there in the shop, which makes for fabulous combinations, as well as the wondeful atmosphere. I purchased an Ethiopian berbere blend to try my hand at some African dishes. There were so many different blends I would...

Any cook or cook wanna be should put this high on their list of best places to go when visiting Williamsburg. This small shoppe carries a great variety of packaged and bulk spices, teas,

Easy and fun to pick several types of spice blends to try, then return for more by the scoop!

The Spice & Tea Exchange is a lovely shop chock full of herbs, spices and teas. It's a definite "must visit" while in Williamsburg and it's an easy walk from Merchants Square. I always buy their catnip bags for my feline friends - they LOVE them!

I was taking a walk down Prince George Street & stumbled across this little gem. I love tea & they were having a great special so I stacked up on teas and spices. The ladies were great with their recommendations & so far everything I've tried has been great! Nice little place to visit, since we don't have one back...

My 13 year old daughter is a bit of a "Foodie". We traveled from NY to visit Williamsburg and she was very excited to research the Spice and Tea Shop after having visited one in Florida. We purchased quite a few new spices, teas and flavored sugars. The 2 young ladies in the shop couldn't have been sweeter. They allowed...

Heather and her team provide an excellent atmosphere for learning about spices & seasonings. The staff are polite and approachable, and they know their products too! Looking for gifts? Trying to perfect your next great recipe? Just need a place to soak in some exotic flavors (with the occasional sample!) in the midst of Colonial Williamsburg? This is that place. Will be back early and often!

Had the best experience at the Spice and Tea exchange of Williamsburg. Variety, combined with knowledable, and friendly staff. Enjoyed creating new & exciting recipes with our spices and my favorite tea is now coconut oolong!

Disappointing visit at the shop today. Found several things I was looking for, including Oolong Tea and Vietnamese Cinnamon. I was rung up by a blond young woman. There was a sign at the register that said if you spent over $25 ( which I did ) you could take a sample of tea that was in a basket on the counter. When I asked if I could take one, the young blond woman said they were only for...

I admit I'm addicted to Spice and Tea Exchange and whenever I travel I seek them out. This one is Williamsburg is just wonderful. Small yet quaint and so well stocked with all my favorite spices and teas. Customer service here is wonderful, they're knowledgable and helpful. If you like to cook you'll love this little shop!

Nice selection; helpful staff, very high prices

The store and the service were fine. But everything is priced by the ounce, and the prices are quite high compared to a spice shop elsewhere. Fine if you want to buy a bit of something to try, but not otherwise.

I don't drink caffeine and their caffeine free teas are hands down the best around. The rooibos chai is ridiculously good and has the full, spicy, rich flavor that you get with regular black tea chai. The spices are as good as you can get anywhere. Kudos, I will definitely be back frequently.

You've only been under new ownership for just a few short weeks. But, you won't be seeing as many fives on this site anymore unless you have staff that share your vision and carry on the strong reputation from previous owner's. The young lady working Saturday night at 5:30 clearly does not! Your site says you're open until 7pm. We loved this shop before our Saturday visit. She was cold and...

One of the blessings of living in Williamsburg are little shops like the Spice & Tea Exchange.
They have an amazing variety of spices, teas, salts, blends and flavoring powders packed into a tiny little place. Whether you just want the basics or you're learning Indian cooking and want to make a Garam Masala, they'll have all the spices you...

Just open the door and the smell of spices lures you in! This shop has the most awesome variety of spices, teas and food/cooking products. I enjoy cooking, but I have two children that work in the culinary industry and they usually raid my spice cabinet whenever they come home to "borrow" some of the cool products I have found...

The shop is quaint much like a smaller version of Penzey's. We stopped here because of all the positive reviews about how helpful and friendly the staff is. Not so much in our experience. The girl working at the counter was pleasant but not particularly helpful. We were looking for a gift for someone who prefers Earl Grey tea. When...

I had a c/o for a free 1oz. bag of tea of my choice which caused me to visit this shop. I was very impressed by the large selection of spices that they had from all around the world. I was not so impressed by the smaller area of teas. I have been to other places as such, esp in...

This tiny store is full of high quality specialty items. Here is a just a brief list of the things I remember seeing/smelling: lime sugar, vanilla sugar, raspberry sugar, peppermint sugar, black truffle sea salt, ghost pepper sea salt, about a hundred different BBQ and grilling seasonings, tarragon, thyme, cumin, spearmint, and a whole bunch of loose teas.

Just walk in and sniff and you'll never buy supermarket spices again. These are fresh, properly stored and the difference that will make your dishes head and shoulders above your friends'. There are special blends, more varieties than you can think of - and a staff who can explain the differences. That makes a difference if you're serious about your...
