I can finally boil my asian soup. Service was decent cashier was very friendly. Generally very nice and clean. We came about 10 am and they are still unpacking the fresh fish/shrimps. I would come a little later Perfect asian grocery store for me.

I saw some familiar things and also some new things. So many good ideas for things to try especially new recipes and traditional ingredients both fresh and preserved/dried/canned. My go-tos are usually the snacks and desserts. Who knew how many types of Oreos there were in other countries? I'll have to try more and be back Soon! Definitely recommend checking this local place out. :D

Suddenly, a beacon of light shone down and directed me to Oliverde! Breads, oils, balsamic vinegars! These good friends got me through that tough time with plentiful samplings of bountiful flavor. My mood vastly improved, I left the store almost skipping with a $30 sampler pack - hand selected by yours truly - containing blood orange olive oil, sesame oil, garlic olive oil, chocolate balsamic, espresso balsamic, honey ginger white balsamic. I heard they're opening one in Omaha also, so bring on the flavors.

This store is flat out amazing. My fiancé and I were downtown for our engagement photos and decided…read moreto stop by. We are both obsessed with cooking and the variety of oils that this place had was amazing. Not just that, but the prices were affordable, the atmosphere was pleasant and I can't even begin to describe how great the customer service was. Im going to need to go back several times to try out the different types of olive oil they had available. Screw going to Hy-Vee and getting some random bottle off the shelf, go to Oliverde and get something special to wake your taste-buds up.

As it was, the woman behind the counter offered to let us taste any of the vinegars before buying them. And thank goodness we did. I picked the cranberry pear balsamic vinegar and it was incredible! I honestly could have drunk a whole cup full of it, it was that good. I had it on my salad for three dinners straight starting that night! When my little bottle runs out, I may have to mail order more, since I live very far away. I also took advantage of the bulk option for spices and other delights, buying a small baggie of butterfly pea flowers, which you don't find just anywhere. I really wanted to go back the next day to try more vinegars, but I knew I couldn't fit any more in my luggage, so I'm just living off the memories of my one visit! If you dig spices, you MUST go here, if you dig balsamic vinegar, it's a CRIME if you don't go here! Post-haste!

Certain item sizes, colors, model variations, etc. are always "out of stock", leaving you frustrated that you wasted your time going to a brick-and-mortar store, and ultimately having to go home and order the product online. I tried to give this store a chance, but after many, many experiences like that over the course of several years, I have given up hope on Habitat entirely. I haven't been there for over a year, but the older (unfriendly) lady at the cash register outright lied to me about product availability, saying that a brand of bowl only came in the size and color they had in stock -- all while I was comparing other colors and sizes on my phone, available from vendors around the country. Sometimes they have something in stock in small quantities, and if you miss out, they may not have it again for months; and I don't mean obscure seasonal decorations, but cooking essentials that are needed year-round. Everyone complains that local stores are going out of business because of internet competition, but I think that's largely an excuse made by dud business owners. For example: right next door is Hobby Town USA which has an amazing supply of products, competitive prices with online giants, and the gumption to do special orders for rapid delivery if you need something they don't have. Habitat, by comparison, seems like a place that "wants to act" as if they're a serious cooking store, but then doesn't want to put in the effort or investment to stock the product quantities and varieties needed by true, hardcore foodies.

I really only check out the cooking side of the store; the home decor section is lovely but isn't what I came for. If you need several choices in size and brand for springform pans, or you want a wooden lemon reamer or a citrus zester, this is the place. They have free recipes set up in a drawer on a table; a select collection of cookbooks and foodie books; spices (Madagascar vanilla; no Tahitian, alas, but no one seems to carry that); a small selection of high-end chocolate bars; silicone baking sheets...well, it's a good gourmet cooking store and if that sounds like fun to you you'll love it.
