From an email:

“Dear Friends,

As we enter into spring, we want to update you on the recent evolution of Bazaar Spices.

As many of you may know, we opened Bazaar Spices at Union Market in Northeast, Washington, DC over six years ago and expanded to a second location in the Atlantic Plumbing Building in Northwest, Washington, DC three years later. As customer habits changed, we adapted to that change. This past October, we closed our Union Market location and we recently made the challenging decision to close our second location in the Atlantic Plumbing Building [2130 8th Street NW, Washington, DC] in 10 days on March 31st, 2019 along with our online shop.

We have enjoyed serving you over the years and offering you some of the best spices in Washington, DC. (more…)

“We have reached peak 14th street.

Just in case you want to bang out a quick pod while picking out your artisanal mats…”

Framebridge with the good sense of humor replies:

“Good news–it’s probably even *more* 14th Street than that.”

Anyway, I popped by on Saturday and was told they’ll be opening on Tuesday and to stand by for a grand opening party too. (more…)
