The Silk Road Spice Merchant

Herbs and spices sold individually and expertly mixed. I come to Edmonton once a year to refill my Inca fire salt". A smoky mix of salt and pepper like no other. I always try a new spice or two. Refills are $1 less sold in a plastic baggie. Never disappointed."

This store is a must see and worth the drive! The quality of their product rivals store bought brands, prices are reasonable, and the variety of herbs, spices, seasonings, original and unique blends, teas, hot chocolates, books, and more, is exciting even to non-cooks looking for a unique shopping experience or gift. If you're going to Silk Road for the first time, don't rush! Take time to enjoy the smells, the variety, and the knowledge the staff has to share!

Great place for an upscale version of your cupboard spices. They have multiple versions of a lot of items, like oregano, or cinnamon. Bunch of spice mixes, including bbq spice mixes, Indian spices, French mixes, flavoured salts. Just filled with everything you are looking for. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable. You can buy baggies of spices that they fill for you per order, or pre-made jars of spices for a bit extra. Also a selection of drink mixes and bitters.

The Silk Road staff has always provided me with outstanding service and guidance. The quality of spices is excellent! It may cost a little bit more than what you would pay at your local supermarket, but it is worthwhile. Whatever you pay for, you get.

Love this place, my wife and I only buy our spices from Silk Road, they have the best selection of spices and herbs, if you are into making cocktails at home you will find they have a great selection of bitters and tonics, definitely worth taking a look if you love some spice in your life.

I called ahead to ensure they had what I needed. As soon as I stepped into the store the aromas were amazing yet not overwhelming.I loved the upbeat rustic wood decor of the shop, it set a great mood, the organization of the shelves and how they spices were stocked were very professional looking.The staff were super friendly, knowledgeable, helpful as I asked about other spices.The spice bottles were packed to the top. The flavors were fresh, authentic and made my Cajun Jambalaya dish taste amazing.The prices were very reasonable from my perspective.I definitely will be returning to explore what other great spices they offer as I have an intensive international palate for great authentic cuisine.BottomlineThis shop saves me a lot of time money and frustration trying to get friends to mail me spices up from Texas & Louisiana. I'd recommend it.

So Tasteful!Delicious spices! Looking forward to seeing them grow their business - more people deserve to taste their spices!
