The shop has a very charming interior design and staff is very helpful (they even let us smell some of the spices that are being sold). A very pleasant experience since we were not pressured to buy anything as is the case with most of the spice traders at the market and could roam around freely without being nagged. The organic pepper we bought is wonderful and we have a good feeling to have supported local farmers during our stay in stonetown.
Great spice shop! If you are on the hunt for real and fresh Zanzibar spices, this is the place to stop by. The local shop assistants are fantastic and the spices are grown in organic certified smallholder cooperatives.
Where I send all my visitors to get spices and where I got most of this years holiday gifts. Unlike the legions of places in Stone Town selling terrible quality spices in unattractive kitschy packaging, 1001 simply offers the best fresh and organic spices with no nonsense.
Great place to buy your LOCAL and ORGANIC spices. Beautiful store and very friendly and helpful staff who are fluent in english. Your perfect holiday souvenir to remember Zanzibar island and to support a great cause, no fake spices from abroad.
A place not to miss for your freshest and organic spices in Zanzibar, if i could rate more 5 star wouldnt be enough.Simply the best!! Highly recommended.
Loved the entire experience of this shop and of course the local organic spices! The shop assistant was very nice and answered all of our questions in details.
Just amazing this spicy store. It’s all organic, that’s we need nowadays. Well organised selection. Most of all, the staff are well educated and upmost friendly. Highly recommendable.
During my stay on Zanzibar I had the possibility to see the construction work in the future shop. Im excited to see its development and what it looks like when I come back.
Excellent spices and fair prices.
