Is House of spice a quality shop ?

[toyopl]

I'm thinking about getting some good quality spices.
So far my cabinet is filled with Mccormick and Irresistible brand spices in the little jars and I thought that since I like cooking eveyrhting from European to Indian and Asian I might get some quality spices.
I read that Pendry's and Spicehouse in the states has quality spices but what about the House of Spice in Toronto ?
Looking at the pics it doesn't look like much, but is the product good ?

I'd recommend finding a place close to home or otherwise conveniently located. Spice is, as you no doubt know, the sort of thing that should be purchased in a quantity that'll be consumed quickly for best freshness. For example, I like going to Lenny's on Parliament at Carlton because they have good stuff and I'm near it every couple-3 of weeks.

I've been fairly happy with most of their dry spices as well. Good value overall.

You might want to try The Spice Trader, on Queen West. I've bought a lot of spices there and have been very happy. http://www.thespicetrader.ca/

While I won't say that I've loved everything I've gotten there (most, but not everything), but they have a great selection, reasonable prices, and knowledgeable staff.
