Compared with the other coffee subscription I tried, this one took way longer to get my first bag, nearly two weeks. When it came the beans were fine but not as fresh as the ones from the roaster I used before. I had to message them and the reply came three days later.

Ordered the nut free granola for uni and it's really good, lots of seeds and not too much sugar. Only thing is it's a bit more than what I'd pay in the shops so I only get it when I've got a bit of money. Arrived quick though, two days.

I have been buying from them for about six years now and the cumin and coriander are still the best I can get locally. The packaging changed a while back and the new bags tear easier than they used to. Delivery was a day late this time, which is a bit annoying but not the end of the world.

Honestly this is the best place I've found for smoked paprika, I tried three other shops first. The flavour is deep and the jar was sealed properly. Delivery was prompt and I'll be back.

Compared to the snacks I was getting from the petrol station, these nut and fruit bars are a lot better and nowhere near as sugary. Ordered from my phone on the bus and it was easy. Arrived in two days, which was quicker than I expected.

I bought the single origin Ethiopian beans and they are properly fresh, you can smell the blueberry notes when you open the bag. Roast date is clearly printed which I always look for. Grinding them for a V60 has been a joy.

I bought the roasted pistachios and they were lovely and crunchy, better than most I've had. I did compare a few other sellers first and these were a fair bit more expensive per kilo. The pack was a bit smaller than I'd pictured, so I felt a little short changed.

I needed a nut free granola for my daughter's school lunches, and this came up when I searched. The ingredients list was easy to check and the order turned up quickly. I've already put in another order.

I picked up the Canadian maple syrup because I wanted the real thing for pancakes, and the bottle was sealed well and arrived in good condition. The price is on the high side compared to the supermarket, though the flavour is worth it. The order process was simple enough and I'd order again.

Honestly it does the job for the spices I need, the quality is decent. The prices are higher than the big online grocers though, and for a standard jar of paprika that adds up. I'd buy the premium stuff here but not the everyday basics.

I needed a source for good quality candied peel and glacé cherries for my Christmas cake, and a friend recommended this shop. The order arrived well packed and the fruit was plump and fragrant. I'd happily order again next year, it has saved me a trip into town.

We needed a reliable supplier for the café after our old wholesaler kept messing up our bulk flour and oat orders, so we went looking. Ordering was dead simple, the price per kilo is better than what we were paying before, and the stuff turned up when they said it would. Ordered again last week and it's become our default.

I've been ordering the smoked paprika from them for years and it's still the one I reach for when I make my chorizo rub. The tin came slightly dented this time but the spice was fine inside. Ordering was quick, I just wish the reorder button was easier to find on the site.

I would say it is a very good place to buy your dried fruit and nuts, and I have been a customer for a little while now. The website is clear enough to use and the selection is good, though I did find the search a touch fiddly on my tablet. Everything I have ordered has arrived in good order and I'm happy to go back.

Compared to the big supermarket tea I usually get, these loose leaf blends are a bit more money but way more flavour. Ordered on my phone in about two minutes. Only gripe is the box took a day longer than the tracking said.

Compared to the big brand cereal bars I usually buy, these are way tastier and not full of junk. Placed the order on my phone during my lunch break and it was done in a minute. Nice little pack of samples too.

Grabbed the nut and fruit bars for uni after getting fed up with the petrol station stuff and they're honestly so much better. Bought a box of them and they lasted me the whole week, ordered on my phone in about two mins, arrived fast too.

I needed a decent gluten free flour blend for my coeliac son's baking, and after comparing a few places this had the clearest labelling and certification. The order was easy to place and the flour arrived quickly. Lots of options and the prices felt fair for what you get.

Signed up on my phone for a monthly coffee box and the account page kept logging me out halfway through checkout, so it took about three goes. Once it was sorted the box turned up on the Tuesday like they said. Coffee was lovely, a bit on the dark side for my taste but I can handle that. Would probably stick with it.

First time ordering and it was all spot on, the coffee is exactly what the description promised. The checkout was clear and it came through in a few days. Good value for the quality.
