They (who are they?) say that a cook is only as good as the ingredients she uses. I agree. And I just can't find anything exotic in aisle 347 of the mega mart, so instead I buy my spices and herbs and spiced wine mix here. Walking into Savory is like an exotic massage for my olfactory senses. I never knew until my first visit here that regular cinnamon isn't cinnamon at all, but a cheaper rendition of one fabulous tree bark! I also discovered peppermint extract, which makes mojitos SO much easier than ripping apart expensive mint leaves! Easier to drink too, and doesn't leave mint leaves dangling from your teeth. Go - discover - smell. Oh, did I mention they're cheaper too? Yup. You can buy the stuff in baggies and refill containers.
Pros: Great quality, service and value
Cons: No location in the west suburbs
