Sarah and the Five Flavors Herbs staff were so sweet and knowledgeable. I happened upon this shop on a google search. Prices are great and products are very good quality. Support young female entrepreneurs and shop local! I'll definitely be visiting again soon!

I am always looked down upon when I walk in the store by most of the employees. If you are a person of color I recommend you do not shop at this store. They make it very clear that you are not welcome. They follow you around the store, speak down to you, and treat you like you have no knowledge of any of the products in the store. I've tried to support this local business for 2+yrs but today was the final straw. I cannot and will not deal with their bigotry one more time.

Five Flavors Herbs is my favorite resource for herbal medicines in the Bay area - they offer high-quality bulk herbs (including a great selection of carefully harvested native medicinal herbs), single plant and blended tinctures and glycerites lovingly made in the shop, delicious tea blends, and more. The selection of Western and Chinese herbs is quite extensive, and they offer custom formula blending services for health care practitioners.
In addition, Five Flavors Herbs offers classes on herbal medicine for both practitioners and lay people and hosts art and music events and movie nights. They also offer appointments with acupuncturists, herbalists, and alternative medicine practitioners.
This lovely shop is a valuable community resource for health, wellness, and alternative medicine. If you're curious about herbal medicine and want to learn more, this is the place!

Wow. Words can't describe how much I love this place. Ben Zappin takes his vast knowledge of herbal medicine into a very well run full service pharmacy.
As a practicing acupuncturist and instructor of Chinese medicine, I am delighted to be sending my patients here to pick up their herbal formulas. They have amazing tinctures made with herbs from Spring Wind. As an acupuncturist, you can make custom formulas for patients. They have tinctures, powders, and raw herbs. Good prices and very knowledgeable staff.
Ben and his wife Ingrid put so much into this business and it shows. They also have some awesome acupuncturists and bodyworkers practicing out of their space.
If you're just a member of the public, you can feel comfortable walking in and getting expert advice. Ben offers short, low cost consultations and he really knows his herbs.
These people are really trying to do the right thing. They have so much to offer the community!

I love this place, it's like a candy shop for me. I want them to have a backlit sign in hot pink so you can find it at night. I thought it was closed until I checked the website hours.

Thank you Benjamin!! You took me as a walk in, when I was in bad shape & I was 3000 miles from home. I was miserable and looking at a very rough road at the beginning of my trip. You brought me in, gave some wonderful acupuncture and had me relieved in short order. Then you kept me in working order and allowed me to make it through this experience. Thank you so very much. Five Flavors Herbs brought me much peace. Very kind people.

The foraged cocktail class I took here was outstanding, and the herbs I used from Five Flavors to make bitters were fresh and flavorful.

What a treasure trove of people and healing plants. I came in to the shop with symptoms of heartbreak and left with a true sense of being heard, a full heart, and a tincture that has soothed my body like only the right combo of herbs can. Thank you for providing this clean, welcoming space and your mad herbal skills. It is truly a blessing to be here.
