Spice, Teas, Home of SpiceScription

SpiceTopia is a joyful stop for those enjoying Main Street, Ventura. Many follow their noses into SpiceTopia and find not only aromatic spices and teas, but also a place to talk about their next meal and the inspiration to cook something new.

Or discussions about our extensive tea collection and varied local products are entered into. Recipes are traded, meals described, and the joy that food and community bring is always present.

Locals stop by to pick up their SpiceScription Boxes and to share their favorite spices and recipes from last month’s SpiceScription.

With SpiceTopia Cooks, we aim to bring those same feelings of adventure and excitement about the everyday acts of eating and drinking to you –wherever you may be.
