The Spice Trader & The Olive Pit

Smashing IT! This store has everything that you need to enhance your culinary talents and tickle your taste buds. Great customer service and amazing range of delectable STUFF to make that special dish that much special. If you're a bread dunker like me, then you're going to want to pick up one of their amazing wide selections of balsamic vinegars. From spices to finishing salts, the variety and choices are many. The staff are also extremely knowledgeable, which is an advantage if you're not sure which item to pick from regarding what it is that you're preparing etc. The Spice Trader & The Olive Pit is unique and rare gem in the city and you owe it to your taste buds to give it a visit. Check them out, you'll be very happy that you did.

The offerings are quality and the variety is inspiring, so no need to go elsewhere! I love scanning the website for new ideas and of course my favourites. My one "disappointment" is that items are often out of stock, as well as refill packages. I can only re-use those lovely tins so much and hate to toss them. Granted, obtaining timely supplies are out of their control, but it's just a bit frustrating. Love you and your fabulous store!

Love, love this store!! My family has enjoyed trying new spices that we had never heard of before. We enjoy trying the accompanying recipes, as well. The Advent Calendar is a Christmas treat!

Love ordering difficult-to-get spices (and occasionally other gourmet things) from this shop. Quality is always excellent, the tins are attractive, and delivery very fast. I had them send my nephew in Germany two themed spice collections, with matching cook books, as a wedding gift a few years back (he and his wife are foodies) and they were thrilled!

I love this store. It is such a unique and wonderful space. Just incredible. I could spend hours perusing the and smelling the spices. I knew my partner would love the Advent calendar. He can't wait to discover all that is inside!

We bought the Spice Traders Advent Calendar last year and loved it. The quality, variety and guessing game each day were all perfect. This year we've bought two, with one to share with family. The delivery went smoothly, everything is in place, and we're looking forward to beginning the adventure on December 1st!

Always a pleasure shopping with The Spice Trader! I have been a customer since they opened a loooong time ago! Have since moved outside of Toronto but still visit and order online regularly. Excellent quality spices and the best gift ideas. Also, Alison’s recipes are so good.
