Doing Great
May 1, 2025

Always order from you guys, BUT i noticed many of the herbs i buy are not in stock when i need them, so i have been giving my business to other companies more. You need to keep in stock popular items like Damiana and wild lettuce for example.

Shipping is Pricey
April 30, 2025
Updated review

Don't get me wrong, the herbs are top-notch and I love that I don't have to worry about the quality. However, the shipping price is outrageous and you have to spend $250 to even get free shipping. I could see how the price of herbs would go up because of Tariffs but if you are gonna jack up the price of the herbs, at least drop the shipping price a bit.

Good Products
May 6, 2025
Updated review

I like the products this company sells; it helps with my business. The only thing I would prefer is lower shipping prices and when a product is discontinued, for it to be removed from the listing of herbs available so one doesn't waste time.

I run a small business and I need my herbs by the pound so I come here. Many of the herbs are reasonably priced; would love to see shipping costs reduced though.

My Go To for Quality
May 10, 2025

The variety and quality of herbs, spices and teas is a go to for me each time the need arises. This is my source for Roasted Chicory Root to cut coffee to a lower caffeine intake without loosing too much taste. I only with the shipping was a little more reasonable.

Excellent
May 4, 2025

I've order from Monterey Herb company for a couple of years now and the service is always great! The products are excellent, and I go nowhere else to buy my herbs. My only compliant is the shipping cost. Its a bit high.

There is no other shop like this
May 11, 2025

It is my second purchase at Monterey Bay Spice Co. And again I am overwhelmed by the choice of spices and teas (in a positive way of course!). I can find everything here and even more as they provide spices in many forms. And the shipping is very fast. I love this shop!

Buying rose hips was a great! The berries are fresh, fragrant, and packed with beneficial nutrients. Perfect for making tea, infusions. The delivery was fast, and the quality exceeded expectations. I will definitely buy again!

Amazing prices for larger than average amounts
May 8, 2025
Updated review

With tariffs and things, I started panic buying anything imported I use. Monterey Bay Herb Co had the BEST prices and bulk amounts and all my spices. I stared getting extra stuff like cinnamon sticks which may be a luxury in the future.

Fast, consistent, professional
April 20, 2025

Consistent service, extremely fast shipping, good availability of inventory, mostly consistent product from batch to batch, sometimes there's variability which is frustrating, but I am not sure if it's possible to attain greater consistency, or at least, I haven't seen better. Of course, they have the best pricing so that's a no-brainer.

What is going on with shipping fees?
March 28, 2025

I have ordered herbs here for years. It was always $8.50 for shipping. Now it is gone totally. Last time I ordered it said it would be on my order but nothing i did got it there. As traditional methods of medicine become increasingly out of reach for every day people herbal medicine will be rising ing usage. Get ready and please be of the healer class of businesses and keep costs to a minimum as much as possible. Let big Pharma be the greedy unaffordable entities they have become.

Great Shopping Experience
May 6, 2025
Updated review

It's so easy to say "shop here it's a great place" but that is used too much lately. So, shop here for your herbs and spices because it is the best site with the best selection. Also the best at educating the buyer what a herb or spice is and how to use it properly.

Website easy to navigate
May 5, 2025

Not only is the website easy to navigate but ordering is also just as easy. My orders sometimes take a little longer but are not outrageous. I also love that there is a notify option when an herb I want is out of stock.

I received my order much quicker than expected. I was pleased with the entire process. However, to be fair, requiring 100 words is a waste of my time. I would prefer to be able to wrote what I want in the most efficient way possible.

Amazing teas and herbs
April 18, 2025

I buy from Monterey Herb because I really care about the quality of tea and herbs I use. I recently used their cut organic hibiscus to make a delightful mocktail which had been in a January email from them. Also made the elderberry one too. So apart from quality herbs and teas they also have creative uses for them and the customer service is very good and my packages arrive on time and I receive updates from the carrier. An excellent company with high quality products.
