"The quality of Oaktown’s spices is superior to any other spice company in the area. Since we are customer and product-focused, we strive to sell the best products. Oaktown fits this criteria perfectly. We love Oaktown, always a pleasure working with them!"

"The things that make a spice shop great are variety, sourcing, and the fresh grinding of the spices. Oaktown excels at all. We get a large variety of spices, well sourced, and freshly ground. We use Oaktown spices to create our unique spice blends that are the core of all our sauces, dressings, and marinades. We started working with Oaktown at the same time we started Pomella. There hasn't been a day here without great spices!"

"Using local resources and vendors always makes us happy, and Oaktown provides the opportunity for us to source high quality spices from a fellow Bay Area business. We love using Oaktown's Shichimi Togarashi; it is a consistently high quality and well balanced spice mix that brings a surprising and delicious element to our Togarashi Tea flavor."

"We use Oaktown’s spices because a core component of our business is to source local ingredients and keep as much spending as possible in Oakland, supporting Oakland businesses and Oakland jobs. Customers have been thrilled since we launched Golden Milk lattes as menu items and demand remains high. Customer service at Oaktown is always warm and friendly, order fulfillment is quick and easy, and the warehouse smells incredible."

"Seeds and toppings are such an important part of what makes a bagel great and I knew I wanted to source the highest quality product that would add the best flavor and texture to our bagels. Working with Oaktown was a natural fit because they have an excellent selection. It was also important to me to partner with a local company and I feel so lucky to have them in my backyard! The customer service is incredible. Doing business is more fun if you can do it with people you like and that's definitely been my experience working with everyone at Oaktown. "

"The savory blends we buy from Oaktown add a nuanced boost of flavor to everything we put them in. We have been using Eastern Med in cheese scones and Persian Lime Curry in our chicken salad. Both have a cult following already and we have only been running those items for just over a month. The best feedback is people buying an item made with those blends and asking why they are so good, then buying a jar of the blend to take home."

"We use Oaktown spices because they are excellent, fresh, and flavorful. Everything is always super fragrant, and their sourcing takes a lot of the guesswork out of the equation for us. We received multiple awards at the 2023 California State Fair cheese competition, including two for cheeses using Oaktown spices: Spicy Fromage Blanc (with Oaktown’s Goat Horn Chiles) won gold, and Everything Bagel Fromage Blanc won silver in the flavor. "

"Oaktown’s commitment to high-quality spices aligns with my dedication to freshness and flavor. Their variety of spices pushes my culinary creativity. I’m given the tools to create innovative macaron flavors where every bite is made with the finest ingredients that keep customers excited and engaged. Their vast spice offering is truly unparalleled, just like the quality of service by the Oaktown family. Every team member I've met is incredibly knowledgeable about spices and helps you achieve your culinary vision."

"Oaktown’s spices are distinguishably superior in scent, color, and taste, where generic alternatives would have otherwise fallen flat. Their hand-mixed spice blends are unique and versatile, lending themselves to many different applications and flavor combinations while developing exciting new recipes."

"We utilize Oaktown’s spices for our highest selling seasonal product, Upcycled Pumpkin Spice Cookies, which provide a unique flavor for our product. We appreciate the consistent order quality and human element of working together. As an upcycled food business, we work hard to ensure customers understand the premium taste and flavor of our products. Thus, having the Oaktown name next to ours provides immense value in establishing that positive product and brand affinity."
