HEATONIST

Amazing customer service and knowledge from staff. !! I was walking by, and thought is there really a store just for hot sauces? I went in and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. I asked two different people about 10 questions each about the history of the store, hot sauce ingredients, why is this even so popular?? I tried four different hot sauces and bought a few as gifts. I absolutely think buying $20 hot sauce is really luxurious and maybe even unnecessary, but after talking with the staff trying all the different flavors I truly see how creating a hot sauce is ART and can add so many different dimensions and flavor to a dish that you’re creating. I’m totally sold on the whole concept.

This is perfect shop for anyone ready for hot sauces beyond Tabasco or Cholula. The staff is friendly and can help steer you to any number of bottles to suit your tastes. There are usually a few bottles being sampled during your visit. Not necessarily spicy but Keith’s burger sauce is a family favorite. Otherwise also love Shaquanda’s Spicier Smoke - Brooklyn’s very own.

I've always watched hot ones and wanted try try these sauces. I was excited to see they had the new line up. I ended up getting their new classic and the last dab. But they have a very nice selection of hot sauces, not just from the show. Update: I finally tried the last dab. OMG it's hot, and has flavor. I put 7 drops in my bowl of macaroni and cheese, it's was an instant heat. It's so good, and stupid hot!!! I liked it so much I ordered the subscription service.

While taking a stroll through Williamsburg, my family and I came across this store quite by accident. The name immediately piqued my interest and being the hot sauce lover that I am, I just had to go inside. As soon as I entered, I was introduced to a wall-to-wall assortment of unique hot sauces. These were specialty hot sauces that I've never seen before. I asked a few questions to the worker who was tending to potential customers at a hot sauce bar. I found out that all the hot sauces in the store were organically-made in small batches. The hot sauce bar appeared to be the kind of bar where drinks are served, but this bar had about a dozen bottles of various hot sauces that were the featured selection for taste-testing for the day. The worker handed me a sturdy paper spoon and asked me what I'd like to try. I was so excited about taste-testing so many varieties of hot sauce that I ignored the spiciness level of each sauce. After trying several varieties, I was ready to blow fire out like Godzilla. I ended up purchasing two bottles at $10 a piece, a good price considering that they are organic and locally-made. To all those hot sauce lovers out there: this is a 'must-visit' place whenever you're in Williamsburg.
