Our Story

Savory Spice was born in 2004 when husband and wife duo Mike and Janet Johnston left behind their lives in Chicago to pursue a dream in Denver, Colorado. Both avid home cooks, they wanted more than just a shop that sold spices. They envisioned a place where people could discover new flavors, learn the stories behind them, and bring joy to family and friends through food.

What started as a single neighborhood spice shop quickly grew into a trusted brand with locations across the country and an ever-growing online presence. But at its heart, Savory Spice has always remained the same: a small-batch spice company driven by a love of cooking, community, and connection.

You can't keep me out of Savory Spice. Their team has put together an amazing store that really takes you on a culinary journey, without getting on an airplane. I like the fact that their spices are always fresh, which in my business is important!

Greatest place to buy spices and extracts! They are great at shipping (which is really good as I no longer live in Colorado), but walking into a shop, just to stand there and take in the aroma of the spices is a delight in itself.

We've used Savory Spice for our ingredients from the beginning. I was a fan of their shops even before I started my company. Browsing their spices is such a fun way to get meal ideas, and the employees are always so knowledgeable.

We've been shopping in-house & online since moving to Colorado. We love the excellent customer service when in-person & attention to detail when packages are shipped. Years later, our extended family is loving this brand & requesting them for gifts. Thanks for helping us make new traditions and lots of tasty treats!

I know that all the spices we use from Savory Spice are going to be the highest quality and offer delicious flavor. We love the complexity of the Chai Spices for our Chai truffle. The Cayenne Chile and Baking Spice bring our Mayan hot chocolate to life. Savory Spice is a great partner for chocolate!

The Savory Spice team is knowledgeable and helpful. The product is unparalleled. The dip mixes are a favorite. As are the soup mixes. As are the infused salts. As are the spice blends. You get the picture.

We're really happy about the pricing and quality - especially for the base botanicals for our gins. We've basically structured all of our gins around the Juniper Berries and Coriander we buy from you!
