I probably don't fit the typical demographics for the usual clientele so I wasn't too excited. I thought everything was over-priced and neither my partner nor I found anything here we wanted to buy. The shop was well merchandised, staff seemed friendly and some of the items would be interesting to others for sure. I just didn't think the prices... More

It can be found in the shadow of the Cathedral and an easy stroll from El Morro Fortress. We were greeted warmly by the shop owners and offered tastings, cooking advice and... More

The smell of the store never leaves you. It's like walking into the most wonderful aromas the Caribbean has to offer. All the items available (Sauces, spices (obviously), gifts, books, perfumes) are made locally and are usually something you've never seen or tasted before. They were so nice and helpful when we came in. We walked out with a bunch... More

Very nice store, lots of good spices and sauces made in the Caribbean. Beware their neighbor, Kamel International Bazaar, which posted a fraudulent charge on my credit card shortly after I left their store. More
