On The Doorstep
Sailing along the Mid-Cape highway on Cape Cod, headed for Provincetown, we detoured into North Truro to visit an herb shop that our hostess had heard about, Atlantic Spice Company.It's an amazing store, as big as your average barn and filled with shelf after shelf of spices, herbs, teas, gadgets for kitchen and table, cookbooks and assorted miscellany, mostly to do with cooking. The prices are good, the ingredients are fresh and the service is friendly. What more could one ask?
Maybe a branch on the Left Coast? As I was paying for my purchases, the cashier inquired about my origins - they see a lot of tourists on Cape Cod and have obviously learned that people like to be asked this question. I said we're from San Francisco and he exclaimed, "Oh, we have a branch in San Francisco!"

I second the recommendation for SF Herb Company and if you want Indian Spices, there's Bombay Bazaar right around the corner on Valencia.
Wow! Nice to know. I've always liked Bombay Bazaar, but never came across this out-of-the-way place. Merci.
It's been years since I've been to Bombay Bazaar. Nowadays I shop at Lhasa Karnak in Berkeley. Spices, essential oils and teas.
Nancy, the word of an SF insider means a lot - thanks!
Cookiecrumb, de rien! :-)
Kailyn, does Lhasa Karnak have herbs, too?
Yes, they carry bulk herbs as well. I always go to the store on Shattuck -- near Berkeley Way, right next Body Time. www.herb-Inc.com
Kailyn, thanks for the tip!
