Spicy's Gewürzmuseum

Its ok, nice selection for smelling.

It's a nice place to buy some good spices. I love to cook and this place gives me a variety of spice to buy from everywhere. I would advise everyone who considers themselves cooks to go and have a look.

Ok I guess. Some spices you find cheaper at the grocery store like the brand Fuchs which they sell and can be found cheaper in every supermarket. Tonka bean was a new to me so 3 stars for that. Other than that not that interesting and quite small space.

Well. I was really exited about the idea of a spice museum, but it seems the owners lost interest pretty quickly. After a few vitrines the translations disappear (essential for my husband who doesn't speak German), then the descriptions stop and the general thread gets lost. The rest of the room is filled with 'spice-related' stuff, salt&pepper despensers from the next thrift shop... sorry, but i expected more! the staff talked non-stop on the phone instead of assisting the actual visitors, and instead of a tiny teaser of any exotic spice i was handed a full bag of black pepper as a giveaway... there's a really nice spice shop just next door (not connected to the museum) with accomplished and passionate staff... sorry, but i recommend you rather spend your time there!

Interesting place if you want to take a look inside the mysterious buildings of Speicherstadt. Offers a great variety of different spices - whether you want to buy stuff or just want to find out more about your favorite chili - you will find what you are looking for. Staff is really nice and willing to give you more info if requested. The only thing annoying is the size of the place - gets crowded on the weekends. For tourists I can recommend to book the sunday brunch tour.
