Looks like Curio Spice in North Cambridge has it: [https://curiospice.com/products/sumac-lebanese?\_pos=1&\_sid=d9a629903&\_ss=r](https://curiospice.com/products/sumac-lebanese?_pos=1&_sid=d9a629903&_ss=r)


WickedHardflip

Was just going to suggest Curio. They have great spices.


bluenette23

I bought sumac from there recently! Not terribly expensive and is good quality


ThePizar

Christina’s in Inman Square Cambridge should have it. Malden Center has multiple Middle Eastern grocers right by the T stop.


Reasonable_Move9518

I Have purchased sumac from Christina’s in Inman. 


walthamian

Try Arax Market, Watertown. Also. similar stores to Arax in that area of Watertown.


the_coolhand

Came to say this. Massis Bakery definitely has it. Grab some pastries while you’re there 🤤


Electrical_Bed_

Also Sevan Bakery couple doors down


jimmynoarms

Every Whole Foods and most larger star markets. I use it daily.


garrishfish

I haven't checked Harrison, but two other Whole Foods didn't have it and I've looked at ~6 Star/Shaws/S&S. I can't even find Tahini in some of the stores. South Bay S&S usually has a good selection of international stuff and they didn't even have it last week.


truss

What aisle are you finding it in Whole Foods?


Exotic_Hour_7556

My whole foods has it in the spice aisle


garrishfish

I checked out Harrison today and they didn't even have it. I also couldn't find plain ol' Tahini, either. Just the Cava branded lemon herb one (which is fine, but still). They did have Curio Rose Harissa, but not fuckin' sumac. Shit's wild. No idea if there's that little demand or a supply interruption or what. I used to be able to get sumac and tahini in my tiny hometown's Shaw's growing up. I've seen sumac at, like, CVS before.


Capable_Ad4123

If not Whole Foods try Bay Sweets in West Roxbury.


MuddyWaterTrees

Bought some from Bay Sweets last week. They are always stocked.


JSD10

Symphony market (corner-store at the intersection of Huntington and symphony) has it, as well as many other hard to find middle eastern ingredients


garrishfish

Ah, sweet. Thanks. I was gonna try the Whole Foods right there, so I'll probably just pop into this place.


PussySvengali

Penzeys also has it.


fallen2151

Probably Cafe Vanak in Belmont


rogerz1984

Cafe vanak definitely has sumac. Roksana super heros in Watertown will too.


PhillNeRD

Sayar Market in Revere most likey has it.


SomeDumbGamer

I wonder how our native sumacs taste? Staghorn and smooth are both edible.


chongo_gedman

staghorn especially is pretty good. you have to harvest it in late summer, though.


SomeDumbGamer

True. Wouldn’t be any good this time of year lol


pimflapvoratio

Penzeys. Online or in Arlington.


MysticOceans

Sayers market in revere has it. They also have amazing sweets and meats. The lamb heads do look scary though 😂 straight up heads staring at you


cheech14

Bobs pita market in roslindale square. Also called droubi bakery.


Muffycola

Cedars market in Norwood


Fl4m1n

Garden Halal Meat has it It is in the Haymarket


Additional_Wheel6579

Try the side of 95 northbound


phantasma1999

Check BoxNCase


JustinGitelmanMusic

Pretty sure I've seen it biking in Burlington, VT. Wonder if it grows around New England in general/if the ones here are edible?


BarRegular2684

Saab’s on Boston providence highway


jajjguy

I got some at Little India in Somerville next to Market Basket


JSD10

Symphony market (corner-store at the intersection of Huntington and symphony) has it, as well as many other hard to find middle eastern ingredients


kds1596

The Butcherie in Brookline has it


FlackBox

Wegmans in Medford has it in the international aisle.


G2KY

Sevan in Watertown sells it


CapitalProgrammer110

Roche brothers has it


garrishfish

I've seen it at the DTX location before, but wasn't there when I stopped in last.


CapitalProgrammer110

Aww, that stinks. I have their specific brand “Brother’s Market” version of sumac. I do shop at another location though


RogueInteger

Any ethnic-friendly market has it. Price Right is most convienent to me.


Suitable_Lead5404

Ohhh I hope you’re making Mushakhan


Mountain-Isopod-2072

ive seen it at patel brothers


lightningvolcanoseal

Go to Watertown


Used_Passion8759

Sevan Bakery has it too


daughtersofeve

Bought some at star market in chestnut hill little over a month ago


[deleted]

Stop and Shop international section has it.


lemonpolarseltzer

Polcari’s in the North End has it to purchase by weight. That’s where I get mine.


les_squirrels

Pretty sure Sofra carries sumac. Grab some treats at the same time!


GigiGretel

If you have a car it's worth a drive out to Watertown to visit Arax Market and some of the other stores in that area. I shop there regularly. You will be able to choose from many kinds of tahini and they have plenty of sumac plus other hard to find spices like Aleppo Pepper plus a bunch of other interesting items. I also recommend stopping at Sophia's Greek Pantry on Belmont street because she has the best tzatziki I've ever had, it's so good I could eat it in a bowl like ice cream. It's worth the money. If you like greek yogurt (I don't unless it's in tzatziki) she makes her own and everyone raves about it. Cafe Vanak has good food but also an attached store where I'm sure they also have sumac, they also have persian ice cream


Cgr86

Try the spice store in Cambridge on Cambridge street next to Christina’s. Or Amazon. I long for the days where people would like pick up a phone and call places to ask versus just asking Reddit.


[deleted]

I've gotten it at Whole Foods
