I have had nothing but great service and products in my dealings with Monterey Bay. Prices have been going up steadily but are higher than my other suppliers by a good percentage.
Quick and great product, use for home cooking and chickens mix for health of my girls. You all are amazing.
I've tried other herb companies, Monterey is the best, helpful, pricing is really great. I tell all my friends to go here!
This is my go to place. I love the selection. They usually have everything I need. Absolutely Great.
Sadly I guess the average customer must want loose leaf tea. We love the tea quality but really hate the inexact nature of measuring tea out each time. Looks like we'll have to go where we belong with the ignorant who buy overpriced poor quality tea elsewhere that's found in bags.
I've been shopping here for years. The only downside is that you can't get free shipping on a typical household sized order.
Variety of product along with speedy delivery makes for a pleasant purchasing experience.
Will continue to use Monterrey Bay for our herb needs. We've ordered 11 different and each one has been high quality. Their prices are very reasonable and shipping is fast.
Consistent service, extremely fast shipping, good availability of inventory, mostly consistent product from batch to batch, sometimes there's variability which is frustrating, but I am not sure if it's possible to attain greater consistency, or at least, I haven't seen better. Of course, they have the best pricing so that's a no-brainer.
I order a lot from Herbco for the chocolate company I work for. We always receive great quality ingredients at a great affordable price. The quality is always 10/10 and every order I've made shipped fast.
Hi Kim! Thanks for the glowing shoutout! We're so happy to hear that our herbs and spices are supporting your chocolate creations—we're honored to be a small part of the magic. Fast shipping, great quality, and fair prices are what we strive for, so it means a lot to hear we’re hitting the mark. Thanks again and we appreciate you being part of the HerbCo fam! 🍫✨
How found the spices I needed easily and it was easy to select amounts and make payment
You usually have what I need and the ordering process is easy
I shopped online, so not much to say, except it was easy to order. The tea was not up to my expectations.
I received my order in a reasonable timely manner. The order was carefully packaged and in good shape.
Have loved every bit of your powders that I have ordered. I found more powders I can try, will order again soon! Thank you!
These days it's hard to find quality products! Thank you for providing them!
Amazing quality, great prices! So thankful for this company!
I purchase 80% of the herbs I buy from Monterey Bay. I have never been disappointed with anything. I know I'm getting a fresh product. I recommend you to all of my family and friends.
Good. My only complaint is when I can't get my Elderberyy due to it being out of stock.
This place always has such and amazing selection and it never fails with high quality and well packaged products.
I am very happy with my choices of some of your tisanes and will be buying more.
The company understands what a tisane is. I appreciate that.
Love your selection and quick turn around. One problem is that we use asafoetida in some of our banishing kits, but it is so very hard to find. Would you consider carrying this in the future?
Thanks,
Steve
