I bought Maisie Jane's Chocolate Hazelnut for the first time in November 2021 from a well know retailer and just realized it's use by date is 05/21, Lot 14220. That may or may not account for why it barely has a whisper of hazelnut flavor and is so thin is runs off the toast. Based on this experience I would not buy it again.

Excellent! For years I looked for the very best nut butter and then I found Maisie Janes in a store. I have been ordering directly from them for years now. Wonderful healthy organic products, fast shipping and great customer service!

Literally just walked out of this wonderful little shop and had to review it. Absolutely adorable gifts inside. They even have gift baskets they could ship for you. The girls at the front were so helpful. Maricela went above and beyond to help us out. She let us have sample of the sweet and savory almonds, which were delicious. The toffee almonds blew our minds. We will definitely be back when we visit the area again.
