When “I could eat” becomes urgent and hungry becomes hangry, might we suggest these in-between-bites and flavor-packed snacks?

Chef-owner Melissa Perello discovered our shop years ago, after a hunt for Urfa Biber led her to us. Her restaurant Octavia’s take on a “Devil’s Egg” features a jammy center and plenty of Eastern Mediterranean Spice, highly recommended with a side of crusty bread for dipping.

We are so excited to welcome Flour + Water to our community! They opened their first Oakland outpost last year, and their Grand Lake Shake wings have been a staple on the menu ever since.

Kampot Peppercorns are the star of Michelin-mentioned Nite Yun’s Khmer Fried Chicken. Just looking at these crackly-craggy-crunchy-wings, studded with peppercorns, makes us want to hop on the ferry to seek them out.

Grand Lake Kitchen has been our neighbor-besties for nearly 14 years! These juicy Lamb Merguez meatballs feature a smoky-savory pistachio Salsa Macha chile oil. We may or may not grab a plate on our lunch break.

TAROCCO is our Berkeley warehouse team’s favorite lunch spot for flavor-packed salads. Their bright purple charred cabbage transforms lunch into art, and lunch-al-desko into something worth celebrating.

Joodooboo is a tofu and banchan shop in North Oakland serving fresh dooboo and hyper-seasonal veggies. They’re featuring our Vadouvan dusted atop crispy-fried tofu this October like it’s 2010 again.

Umami architects Yoko and Kayoko are serving up bowls of Sesame Miso Shake popcorn at their sake bar this October, the perfect pairing for our two collab cocktails also on the menu.

Not to brag, but we’re your favorite bartender’s favorite spice shop.

Bar Shiru has been using our spices in their cocktail program since they opened in 2019!

This October, they’re going sweet and savory with the super briny Crossfade martini and effervescent Sun Goddess rimmed with our Paloma Sugar.

Our first collab with Umami Mart dates back to 2013: everyone’s cult favorite Umami Sea Salt.

13 years later, we’re celebrating with two perfectly spiced cocktails: The Shichimitini and The Umami Town, featuring two of our favorite umami-rich blends.

Roses on Adeline is our cocktail crush!

Their NOLA Old-Fashioned features our Herbal Coffee Tea Blend for a smooth, New Orleans-inspired tipple.

Grand Lake Kitchen has been our neighbor-besties for nearly 14 years!

For this collab, we pitched them a Gin & Tonic frozen cocktail using our Homemade Tonic Water Kit, and they delivered the most fragrant, tangy, boozy slushy around.

The esteemed chefs at Chez Panisse first toured our Grand Avenue shop in 2011, and have been using our spices ever since.

We’re honored to find ourselves on the menu of their new bar-next-door, Bar Panisse, in their expertly spiced autumnal Apple Old-Fashioned.

When times are tough I must remember that I made this and I make things like it. I must remember that I have a pretty good understanding of color theory, that I have an eye for photography, that I have great taste in music, and that I put my all into everything that I care about doing, even if it’s to my detriment.

I’ve been surrounded by death this year; not just people but endeavors, relationships, employment. I’m dedicating this to my father, Kervyn Matthews, who I miss more than I ever thought was possible, to Louis Santucci, Gabriel Geiger and my sweet next door neighbor, Vicky Julian. See you in my dreams. ✌️

Keeping the tradition alive — we grabbed lunch at @grandlakekitchen (pastrami Benedict was amazing) and walked a bit in the neighborhood. Pastries at @bakesumpastries (mochi bites were my favorite) and boba at @suptealaboakland.
