Is Burlap & Barrel legit?

Short answer: yes, Burlap & Barrel is a real store, and our score is 4.0 out of 5. The main caveat: costs more than supermarket spices.

It sells spices, herbs, salts, blends, extracts and spice tools through its own website, burlapandbarrel.com. Independent reviews are still scarce, so judge it mainly on its policies. Check its return policy before you order.

Our take: a legitimate brand worth considering.

Quality

A spice buying guide named Burlap & Barrel its top pick for flavor and aroma, singling out its cinnamon and ginger, and Bloomberg covered its direct sourcing from growers. Customers mostly praise freshness and secure packaging. Trustpilot has only three reviews.

Price and value

Single jars start around $10, and collections run higher. The buying guide found its per-ounce prices lower than some premium rivals, though still above grocery-store spices. Bundles and larger sizes cost less per ounce.

Shipping and returns

US orders over $55 ship free. Return terms weren't stated on the pages we checked. A few reviewers mention delayed orders, including a missed holiday gift deadline.

Customer service

There's too little public feedback to judge service. Order early if a spice set is a gift.
