The Spice Merchant and Company
1308 E Douglas Ave, Wichita, KS
Crema's Take
“This beloved Wichita institution wraps you in the irresistible aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans and exotic spices the moment you walk through the door—a sensory experience that reviewers consistently call the best smell in town. Beyond the intoxicating atmosphere, they nail espresso-focused drinks and pour overs while offering an impressive open coffee bar and curated selection of fresh spices and teas that make it easy to spend hours exploring. Whether you're settling in for a slow sit with specialty drinks or grabbing ingredients to take home, The Spice Merchant feels less like a coffee shop and more like a treasured gathering spot where quality and warmth are non-negotiable.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.
