The Herb Shop
Just need a teaspoon of cinnamon for your favorite cookie recipe? Or does your recipe call for asafoetida or some other strange spice that you've never heard of and will probably never use again? Did you know that many dried herbs and spices begin to lose flavor in less than a year? Don't buy large jars from the grocery store that have been sitting on a shelf and will continue to sit in your pantry.

Buy as little as 1/2 oz from The Herb Shop and stop wasting herbs and spices. Our third-generation, family owned shop offers high quality, non-irradiated herbs & spices at reasonable prices. Buy online or visit us at The Central Market in historic Lancaster, PA, Tuesday, Friday, or Saturday, 6am-3pm.

In 1980, Barbara Zink founded The Herb Shop in picturesque Lititz, Pennsylvania. Almost 15 years later, Barb's husband, Jim, opened a stand at The Central Market in historic downtown Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Barb retired in 2008 and closed the shop in Lititz, but the market stand remains. In 2014, Barb & Jim's granddaughter, Corrie Breen, decided to carry on their legacy.

The service was fast and friendly. Tons of herbs to select from and the pricing is more than reasonable. Very clean as well. Looking forward to trying all the different varieties of teas I purchased! Definitely a stop worth making at the local farmer's market.

Always quick and easy. A great place to find common and uncommon spices, teas, and herbs, with some other odds and ends like soup mixes, pastas, etc. This is a go-to shop in Lancaster Central Market

My brother and I enjoyed this stand very much. Especially if you need a little bit of this, and a little bit of that
Update: I’ve been learning a lot about medicinal properties of herbs, and every time I have a weird idea, the herb shop is here to back me up. They literally have everything😄😄

We just moved into the Lancaster area and have started shopping at ‘The Market.’ I enjoy making teas, both bagged and loose, and The Herb Shop array is outstanding! I’ve also started purchasing my herbs there as I find them to be fresh in addition to carrying some I can’t easily find other places. We found out that if I bring my glass containers, they would be happy to weigh their product and put into my containers so I don’t waste plastic bags. I priced shopped 7 different items and The Herb Shop was definitely less expensive with comparable quality. My new favorite tea leaf store!

We go to their Central Market stall frequently for loose leaf teas and spices. I have purchased several types of powdered hot peppers for my people who like hot things & all have been well received. My wife loved the colorful, fancy peppercorns for our grinder. I drink their teas pretty frequently and appreciate their prompt & friendly service. They have always been helpful to us when looking for the teas & spices we use all the time or for the more unusual products and mixes for special occasions. I highly recommend them.

Went on a busy Saturday, very long line. The line went quickly and when it was my turn I didn't feel rushed. They are NOT over priced! Very reasonable for good quality herbs and teas.

My family and I live in Rural (bush) Alaska, and it is difficult to get quality spices, herbs and pasta. I heard about this company thru a friend. Being from the east coast I miss these items and The Herb Shop Landcaster has delivered with a sense of urgency a great product. Thank you. We will continual order from The Herb Shop from now on.
