Bill previously owned a highly successfully food distribution company, is a former chef and graduate of Johnson & Wales. The business name has changed, but the commitment to quality products and excellent customer service remains the same. They specialize in Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oils and all natural Balsamic Vinegars. They also carry pestos, tapanades, pastas, stuffed and whole olives, Hot Sauces and much more! There's a chance to taste anything in the store....little spoons and paper cups are available for you to tap into the container and sample any of the olive oils or vinegars. For those who like spicy, they have products made with habaneros and jalapeños, for those who like fruity they have several choices, including a mango flavored oil and red raspberry vinegars. They also have a "25 year oil" infused in wood barrels for those who like a nice smoky flavor note. The owners are very friendly and engaging. Stop by next time you are in Wickford and sample some oils....you will most likely bring one home.

Unique store. We went to Wickford for a bit today and ended up wandering in here. I've been to…read moreolive oil stores before but this had some tasty balsamic vinegars I haven't seen before. It's a bit pricey but everything I sampled was delicious. I bought a small ($9.99) bottle of the Chocolate Raspberry Balsamic as a gift for my parents, and my boyfriend bought a small Lemon Cucumber Balsamic bottle. My only suggestion would be to have some bread to dip the olive oils in - I've been in similar stores where I'm from (Michigan) and they had that. The employee (owner?) wrapped up our purchases very nicely - they're put in a paper gift bag with a bow and some other accoutrements - and then when she heard I planned on giving it as a gift, asked if I wanted it gift-wrapped. I said no thanks but was curious what else they'd add! Very cute store and I would stop by next time I'm in town.

Their food menu feels like somewhat of a secret but it's truly so good. One of my favorite places to grab a sandwich! Plus, the people they work there are always so nice. My partner and I love to get gifts here for our family that love to cook, but it's worth it to come and try out their variety of flavors before purchasing!

This is a great specialty store on Main Street in Warren! My dad really wanted to come here to get…read moresome balsamic vinegar. We parked on the street and walked in. On the left wall was a large selection of balsamic vinegar. On the right wall is a large collection of olive oil. In the back was a counter you could order food at, and in the middle were table and chairs. They have sampling cups to taste the vinegars and oils. They really encouraged us to keep sampling, which was great because I feel awkward sampling too much. No shame here! We tried some very tasty balsamic vinegars. My favorite was the ume, or Japanese plum. It was very sweet! The oils were good, too, but I only sampled a couple because sampling oil without bread felt weird. We left with a few bottles at balsamic and a bottle of olive oil. They sell different sized bottles, too, and they bottle it right in front of you. One of the standouts we got was blueberry, it has an amazing blueberry taste! Definitely check this place out if you need some fun balsamic in your life- we all do!

In efforts to be healthier this year and support our local farmers, we decided to do a farm share…read more Zephyr was one of the only vendors we could find in the Providence area. HOW IT WORKS: A seasonal host in the west end opens their yard every Tuesday from 4:00 - 6:00 for pick up. You pay a lump sum in two installments and receive the same number (or weight) of items weekly as everyone doing the share. WHAT IT COST$: For roughly $30 a week, our basket tote was filled with lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, squashes, zucchini, garlic scapes, and other veggies. We added an egg share for an additional $5 a week - convenient. Comes out to about $600 for the season. QUALITY: Everything is fresh but needs to be eaten that week. QUANTITY: I say it's enough produce for 2.5 people eating salad and multiple vegetable sides nightly for dinner. If you're not veggie heavy, you could stretch this to a family of four. VALUE: Not only did we save massive amounts on grocery shopping, but we needed to go to the store far less often AND we really saved because we were eating out much less in efforts to consume all of our produce. VARIETY: food type was lacking (when I compared notes with my sister in law's Boston share) and you'll have to get crafty with garlic scapes as you'll receive at least 20 for the first few weeks of the season. We made a lot of pesto. TIP FOR SHARING: If you're going in with another couple, they recommend you alternate weeks for pick up and keep everything you receive during your week. After all a head of lettuce is a difficult thing to split.

This review is for the produce stand at the Hope Street Farmer's Market. I have get to make it to…read morethe actual farm, but I sure do love their goods! Fresh, beautiful, flavorful and reasonable, I load up on veggies from this stand every Saturday morning. Plump green zebra tomatoes, crisp lettuce, meaty eggplant and delicate miniature squash -- the list goes on and on and everything is top-quality. There are many produce-growers int he area, but I consistently return to Zephyr simply because I've never been disappointed in the quality, and am always impressed by the friendly people who staff their tent. A favorite? Their succulent husk cherry tomatoes. If you'v never tried these guys, do yourself a favor and get them while and when you can. Their like little drops of sunshiney sweetness that explode in your mouth. Who knew produce could be such a treat?!

This is a volunteer-run granola business and the granola is so delicious. My favorite is the ginger zinger. I also picked up a couple pistachio cardamom granola bars for lunches. All natural ingredients made and hand-packed by refugees. They taste great, right amount of sweet. They don't sit like a rock in your stomach like some granola. Warm or right out of the bag, delicious anytime. A camping & hiking staple in my home. They also make an amaretto pear that's crazy good. Whenever I crave chocolate, I like their healthy cherry chocolate and their mochaccino hazelnut. The banana fosters bar tastes like the dessert.

Cheese is one of my favorite snacks, so of course I had to stop by! I had seen this place in a…read morevideo before visiting Wickford Village and wanted to check it out for myself. Even though it was the off-season, the store was surprisingly busy. They have so many different varieties of cheese, and I loved that they had plenty of samples already cut up with toothpicks so you could try them before buying. I sampled a few, and they were excellent! I will say, the smell when you first walk in is definitely strong, not necessarily the best smell, but it is a cheese shop after all! Besides cheese, they also carry sauces, pastas, and several other specialty items. The lady working at the counter was very friendly and helpful. I didn't purchase anything on this visit because I mainly wanted to stop in, look around, and experience this well-known local spot. If you're visiting Wickford Village and you're a cheese lover like me, it's definitely worth popping in and sampling a few!

5 Stars because I am DREAMING about this shop a week later. Pro-tip: Ask about the sourdough bread…read morefrom a bakery in NY! The moment you walk in to this shop you are very much aware that they specialize in high quality cheese. It's stinky, y'all. But in the best way! There are samples everywhere (grab a toothpick thooo!) and the cheeses range in prices. I'd think this is the perfect spot to hit up before a dinner party or for a killer hostess gift. They also have tons of artisanal pastas, crackers, butter, etc. David helped us as we were actually in search of a really good loaf of sourdough. He explained that their loaves come from a bakery in NY that has used the same starter for over 100 years. They get the loaves parbaked so they can bake them fresh in the shop. You can opt for a full loaf or half, OR get it parbaked and finish it at your house for a fresh baked loaf at home! If I lived within 30 minutes of this shop, I'd be back for the bread alone. The staff is super knowledgeable and seemed eager to help explain any specialty item (with tastings!). This will be a MUST next time I'm in RI!

There is a selection of books with lots of information of herbs! The Herbal Essentials is made by the owner of the shop I think, and it captivated my interest right away looking at the first few pages. Got a 10% deal because it was just released. After this book? I might try out others they have because I was very interested in learning more since there was such a variety within the shop and I'd love to get some knowledge on different benefits and types of herbs there are! Staff was kind and showed me how much an oz looks like and gave me recommendations! Very sweet to let me browse 7 minutes before closing. I'm coming back, and will reusable jars!
