Sugarpill

I can’t even explain how much Karyn, the owner and herbalist extraordinaire, has helped me over the years. She has blended medicinal teas for me that helped greatly with a number of health issues. She is so smart and an artist when it comes to blending her herbs. She is phenomenal and Sugarpill is such a beautiful store– go check it out for sure!

This shop is great for herbal remedies and the likes. I find the owner-​Karyn– very helpful & knowledgeable.
I have found a few herbal remedies here that are effective. They also carry other unique products, such as pickles in gin or whisky brine, or lotions and chocolates.
It’s a unique, inviting store. If you’re looking for a specific tonic or essence, visit this place & purchase. There are suitable products for many various conditions.

I can’t recommend Sugarpill enough. Karyn is brilliant and so knowledgeable about herbal remedies and her store is always warm and welcoming. She has helped my partner and I through many an ailment, and also many a chocolate craving. (Seriously, check out their chocolates. You won’t be disappointed.)

Beautiful, incredible things. Bought some rose sugar here and it’s sublime. The shop is small but full of treasures. The woman working that day was very friendly, knowledgable, and wanted to make sure I found the thing i was looking for. It was a great experience and I will definite return when I am in need of something unique or specific.

Hopped in here to grab a gift for an out of towner. Sugarpill has lovely local picks and Karyn (the owner I think?) was lovely and extremely helpful. They have a wide range of custom designed salts and the packaging is very sweet and has a local handmade look. I paired a few salt selections with a bag of Portland based caramel corn.
They have selections of chocolates and natural cocktail mixers as well. There were a lot of essences and other items but I didn’t take a long look at them.
The store design is well lit and cozy and fits the Capitol Hill area very well.
Definitely stop by here for artisan items for foodie friends.

This entire store sells sugar. Well, they sell other goods too, but if you’re looking for salt from, say Alaska, they’ll have it. It might be a bit pricey but worth it if you’re looking for high-​quality specialty salt.

I think it’s time to admit to myself and everybody else that I’m a sucker for a tiny, handcrafted pot of jam. I always cringe at the price, then I always get it home and realize that it’s worth every cent.
I was on the hill and popped into sugarpill yesterday to feed my jam addiction. And as always, I was blown away with the unique products and wide variety. It’s such a compact space, but the owner does a great job of keeping the inventory fresh and relevant.
Of course, I left with an extra item, which I’m pretty sure I’ll fall in love with too. I have yet to be disappointed with something I’ve purchased there.
The owner is very friendly, and expertly walks the fine line between recommending new product and not being pushy.
I’ve noticed that a couple of reviewers have complained about the prices. I’ve never done a side by side comparison, but I can honestly say I’ve never felt like I’ve paid too much for something. Most of the items she stocks are things you can’t pick up at a grocery store.
This is the place to go if you need a unique gift for someone, or just a little something for yourself.

I’m obsessed with everything in this store. It’s one of those places that make you wish you knew more about creating various concoctions. A must-​visit if you’re an enthusiast about bitters and all sorts of apothecary.

Outstanding.
My review focuses on the apothecary ministration in particular. Whenever I have a cold or itch in my throat I will stop here first. Save yourself the $ 20 in over the counter cough meds and come here to find herbal products that soothe at wonderfully affordable prices. There have been four seperate instances where Sugarpill has saved the day! Their remedies, for me, and for other loved ones, can require some soaking, boiling, and maybe (not always) some nose plugging. But it will bring you ease. There are things I have learned here that you really cannot find on the internet (at least not easily) and truly lessen the wrath of a cold/​virus.
The lady who works here is PHENOMENAL! Her knowledge is VAST and watching her mix up herbs is such a warm experience as opposed to being in the back of grocery store waiting in line with four other miserable people. While you are here you can pick up a candle or sumptuous body butter. Thank you Sugarpill!

The most amazing place to stumble into! The selection of chocolate and bitters… holy cow. It’s REALLY hard not to stop in and buy one of everything!
And, wow, love the people who work there. Super knowledgeable, fun, friendly… a winner of a place all around.

This place is way cool and unique. It’s rare to find such a fantastic little treasure.
I happened upon this because my friends had a bitters mix kit instructions posted on their fridge that they received as a gift and I decided I wanted to go check this place out. That Saturday, we went and I fell in love. Both my friends and I walked out with bags full of call kinds of fun items.
Aside from being a herbal apothecary, they have tons of really cool just that you can just pick up off the shelf — bitter kits, bottled bitters, salts, and all kinds of other fun stuff.
There is really no describing what it’s like if you’ve never been, so give it a try and chat up the staff. I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll love in here!

Sugarpill is a one of a kind store and its proprietor, Karyn, is a wonderful asset to our community. As an herbalist and homeopath, she provides a wealth of friendly and helpful information. Plus the products in the store just keep getting better and better.

The minute you walk in you’re hit with the aroma of spices and teas, a foodies scent wet dream. They had a wide variety of spices and teas neatly packaged. Most of which I can get at home, however, it was nice to walk in and see what they had. They had Himalayan sea salt (pink) in powdered form which I’ve never seen.

This is my go-​to shop for buying gifts. Many fancy delicacies to chose from. I also buy herbs here as the proprietress, Karyn, is a trained herbalist and gives excellent advice on remedies for various health concerns.
I love fancy salts and there are dozens at Sugarpill. Such a good feeling to just be in the store.

Super cute little shop to pick up some specialty foods.
Prices for salts, oils, chocolates, and exciting snacks are pretty affordable. Owner is ALWAYS nice and super sociable!

Finally stopped by here today and very pleased with the selection. PIcked up a couple essential oils (lime and jasmine). I can’t wait to make my own spritzer for the steam room at the gym. They had quite the selection of salts and I settled on white truffle and (you won’t believe this) vanilla salt. I have no idea what I’ll put it on, but I’ll find something. If you ever need bitters, this is your place to go; they seemed expensive to me, but perhaps you only use a small amount for your drinks. There were no fewer than 50 kinds; I tried a cherry chocolate one that was very tasty.

Sugarpill is like two awesome stores in one.
When you walk in it may initially seem like a specialty foods store — the tiny shop is filled with culinary delights — salts, spices, chocolates and more. I love the selection of bitters, more than can be found at most liquor stores including the local brand Scrappy’s.
But wait! It is an herbal medicine shop as well! I buy essential oils here — the prices are not dirt cheap, but they are not especially inflated, and I trust Karen to sell me high quality oils (something I don’t trust the sites online with better prices to do for me). The same goes for the tinctures — while the single tinctures are more expensive than some other sources, the quality is much higher. And what is the point of using herbal medicine if you aren’t going to be using something potent?
The greatest resource here is actually Karen herself. I happily pay her prices for herbal medicines because she always gives me straight advice. Before selling you an additional product or potion, Karen will typically recommend ammending your habits. She tries not to just get rid of your symptoms, but to actually find out what is making you feel ill.
Make sure to stop in during the Capitol Hill Art Walk too, there are normally some samples, and great art up in the nook!

Great store for your inner foodie or the foodie in your life! They have lots of spices, jams, chocolates, oils, bitters, body products and even jewelry! I love my truffle oil, winter cough tea and smoked salt. I also got a relaxation evening tea for a friend as a gift here.
I love the bottlecap jewelry in here! Unique and beautiful– it’ll be my next purchase for myself.
The service is also great. The owner was very helpful with suggesting the right spice based off my eating habits. I also asked her about products for digestion and she was honest with me and told me I needed to improve my habits, not purchase products.
The prices are what I expect for a gourmet food shop/​apothecary. They’re higher than QFC obviously but standard for the niche.
I wish the tea selection here was a little bigger but it looks like she custom blends a lot of them so I’m sure there will be different ones each time. Hours also make it a little tough for me to get to except Saturday’s but I think this is a 1 – 2 woman show so its understandable.
I can’t wait to come back here for gifts and Christmas shopping!

I love love love visiting Sugarpill in late December.
I don’t limit myself to December, but that’s normally the only time I’m scrambling to find some gifts that are «physical things.»
What’s so great here? They have interesting and artisan/​gourmet jams, salts, chocolates, bitters, jars of local honey, etc… and I think that’s pretty awesome. This store is one of the reasons that I can’t bring myself to buy anything from the
foodie shop. (I’d much rather just visit Capitol Hill and avoid paying for shipping.)
I haven’t had the chance to sample anything except the tiny little chocolate that the owner recommended one time (because I normally just buy gifts here), but if that chocolate represents the rest of the store… everything is freakin’ amazing.
I’m looking forward to visiting Sugarpill again (and again)!

Delightful.
A treasure trove of magical items tucked around the corner from Broadway, this little shop is deceptively full of the best things on the planet, from local food products to fancy imported bath goodies, this is one sweet little shop.
Sweet, you see how I did that there?
The owner is as knowledgeable as she is friendly, without any pushing, she can guide you to the ‘don’t miss’ things in the store and seems to have exactly the same taste as I do… or is she clairvoyant? Either way, it works for me like a charm.
Bitters, salts, spice rubs, chocolates, oils, vinegars, cosmetics, herbs, teas, I can’t honestly remember the rest as I get a bit dizzy like a schoolgirl crush when I go in.
This is totally a fantastic place for a gift, but better yet, a gift for yourself.
