Outstanding products and service!
December 8, 2025

My previous experiences have been really fabulous! They are really fast in shipping things out and their products are always top notch. I make oils in my business so the quality of the products is extremely important to me. I have been buying from Monterey Bay Herb Company for years and they have never once let me down!

Easy. From 'discovering ' the benefits of moringa to finding a company who says what they do.& they have! Monterey Bay has the goods & they delivered a superior product! Affordable Shipping x country 2 days! That's priceless in itself.

We've been buying from herbco for years and the only issue we ever had was the ridiculously high shipping costs, but we were willing to put up with that because the quality was good. The last couple of orders we placed, however, have seen a drastic drop in quality. The granulated garlic was a very dark brown and pretty much one giant lump. The rubbed sage looked more like grocery store thyme, there were so many stems and twigs. As far as we are concerned, there are two strikes already. We are trying one more time. If there is a strike three, we won't be back.

Ceylon Cinnamon
December 6, 2025

The cinnamon has a scent and flavor as if it had been mixed with tumeric. Of course, I know this didn't happen. But it did come in a resealable plastic bag instead of a plastic bag inside a resealable foil bag. And I put it next to my foil pouch of tumeric. I wonder if the cinnamon could have absorbed the scent and flavor of the tumeric? Please consider putting spices in foil pouches. I had cinnamon in a foil pouch that was stored in the same place and it never absorbed any other flavors or scents.

Better than many out there
December 6, 2025
Updated review

Prices are better than most, and the quality seems to be good. I wish their out of stock updates were a bit more timely. I waited two times to order, because they said an out of stock item would be back in stock, and it never was. Other than that, I'm pleased.

One more chance

I really need the mulling spices. Last time I ordered them, I was unhappy with the quality. Your company did reach out, but in the interim, my husband was severely injured at work, and I didn't have the time or inclination then to deal with anything other than his recovery. I'm hoping this batch is better.

Best prices in the entire USA
December 6, 2025
Updated review

I was looking for a supplier that was closer to home; no one near me to save on shipping only to be charged crazy high prices -- no chance of saving. Bulk pricing and free shipping over $250 works and is a great value. Thank you MBHCo

Date of experience: November 26, 2025

All is good - product is now perhaps 30-40 percent more than a year ago. Can only attribute to what is happening with tariffs etc.

Poultry Farm Feed & Disease Control
December 4, 2025

I use the herbs, flowers and spices for healthy happy chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese on our small poultry farm. The herbs help with parasites and added nutrition. They come packaged well and shipping was quick.

I have had great experience with my purchases from Monterey Bay. Some of the bulk items aren't as perfectly shaped as what you get at the grocery store, but you get a lot more for your money and they taste the same. Everything I've gotten had been accurate and good quality.

I'm bummed that you don't offer wholesale. I spend approximately $40k per year with your competitors and it would be nice if you offered wholesale pricing.

Herb quality can vary a lot, but the herbs I received from this seller were definitely among the better ones. You can tell they choose qualified, reliable products, and you can also see which ones shouldn't even passed inspection - if you know you know - Herbalist by heart

I buy my herbs and spices from here to make my herbal remedies, soaps, and teas. I have never had issues with the quality and it comes quickly in the mail. I can confidently buy in bulk without it breaking the bank.
