WE Spice: A Tribute to Heritage and Flavor

At WE Spice, we honor the rich Ethiopian and Eritrean culinary traditions in the vibrant heart of San Francisco's Fillmore District. Our name, standing for "Workenesh Ethiopia, San Francisco," is a tribute to our matriarch Workenesh, whose spirit of generosity and love is the essence of our store.

Here, every spice tells a story, and every product is a piece of our heritage. We proudly offer an array of authentic spices and goods, inviting our customers to explore the unique flavors and stories of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Our mission is to weave these rich cultures into the diverse tapestry of San Francisco, creating connections through the universal language of food.
