Best tea on this side of the St. Croix River. Get the Sleeping Beauty tea if you ever pass through. Thanks.

Great customer service. The owner went out of her way to order warmers for me before Christmas. I will brag to everyone!

The pumpkin spice tea is the best tea ever! I get it every fall.

Great taste! For my birthday, my girlfriend got me three different seasonings. All of them were great! My favorite is the Korean Black Garlic Rub- strongly recommend on some chicken! I just placed my first order for another couple blends & rubs. It is pretty pricey for seasoning, but it reflects in the taste so I cannot complain?. I may have missed it, are there options for ordering larger amounts of a single seasoning? I'd love an option to order one big container of the Korean Black Garlic Rub versus ordering 2-3 packets- if I missed it please let me know. Overall, great flavor and you get what you pay for!

Tried a couple different rubs for our grilled chicken. All of them tasted great! Prices were higher than a regular grocery store, but I would return because of the excellent taste!

Pinch n’ Rub is one of my favorite shops in Stillwater! As a tea lover, I’ve discovered many of my new favorites at their shop. I also can’t get enough of their Sel Gris and my new favorite condiment, their signature hot sauce! I always visit when I’m in town, and when I’m not, it’s easy to refill my supply on their website. If you love to cook and/or love tea, I highly recommend them!

I was very excited to visit this store as we had never visited a loose tea store before. We arrived at 5:25 on a Wednesday, store closes at 6. When we arrived we asked about having teas mixed and the answer we received was that they could not do that at such a late hour because everything would need to be washed. Also, the staff member working was not educated on the teas and was not able to answer some of our basic questions. We ended up just grabbing the flavors we preferred and mixed our own at home. Apparently, their hours don't reflect the actual time you can have the 'loose tea experience'. Unfortunately, we will not be returning to this store.
Nancy and her staff were wonderful helping us make the Minnesota Illinois connection for our son and future daughter in law’s bridal shower . The packets of spices and teas will be a beautiful backdrop for a lovely bridal brunch . The communication was beyond words and the prompt delivery gave us peace of mind . Thank you to Nancy and her staff (Gina) for showing the true meaning of “Shop Small” . We are beyond words of thanks !

Always pleased after going to Pinch ‘n Rub! Their blends are unique, and although it’s not cheap, a little goes a long way with their product, so i’m always satisfied with what I buy! The workers are always very helpful, and the store feels homey and smells fantastic. It’s nice being able to see and smell teas and spices before you purchase, and the workers really personalize your shopping experience depending what you’re looking for. I always visit when i’m in town!

Loved coming here and love the selection, however, whoever you had working 1-7-22 at 2pm was horrible. 3 gals sitting in back, completely ignoring the customers coming in. In fact, 2 people shook their heads and left. Loud, unhelpful and didnt even acknowledge us even though we were standing right next to them, by the salt blends, for 5 minutes trying to decide what to buy. Not even a "do you have any questions"..... Not a good face or representation for this businessIf you go here, make you sure go when the owner is there. She is extremely helpful and can explain the different spices and how to use them

I love cooking and having a variety of spices on hand. Therefore, I had to stop into this cute and quaint store.They have a variety of spices, spice blends, herbs, teas, and sugars. Prices aren't cheap for a special purchase here and there, worth trying (to me). I got 3 spice blends - Tandoori, Curry Thai Green, and Cheddar Herb Spice. I tried the Tandoori on some chicken, and while it was fine, the flavor was very subtle. The package doesn't suggest how much to use. My suggestion is to go with your gut, and if the flavor isn't bold enough, hopefully you'll have product leftover to try again (using more).Anyway I liked the store and would definitely return if I'm in the area.
Excellent communication and customer service!
