Staff not helpful when asking for recommendations. Staff just said sorry, that's all we have. Cold personality.

Wonderful selection of olive oils and balsamic vinegar. Have been coming here since it's opening years ago.

When gift giving, I make it a point to only give consumables and I like to give with intention. I also love to support small and local businesses. This is the cutest place in Carlsbad Village and any gift recipient will love anything from here. Very boutique-like with all kinds of gifts! Super competitive prices. They are the nicest people too! I bought a few bottles of olive oils to give to family and friends, and I also bought a handful of the little 60mL bottles to hand out to neighbors. My only bugaboo is that the 60mL bottles have no identifiers on them. In other words, if any of my "secret santa" gift recipients want to know where to go to buy this olive oil, they won't know because it doesn't have the business name/demographics on the 60mL bottles. Kind of a bummer. read more

Just like everyone else, Humble Olive Oil is affected by the mandatory closures, but don't despair, Zac and his team are shipping their fantastic product directly to you, and if you live within 10 miles from Carlsbad Village he delivers for free. I just ordered my fix of two olive oils, Tuscan Herb Olive Oil & Meyer Lemon Olive Oil, and two white balsamic vinegars, Blenheim Apricot White Balsamic Vinegar & Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic, from their easy to navigate website at http://www.humbleoliveoils.com Love to support a local business in these crazy times! read more

Beautiful shop. They have clothes and unique kitchenware plus some fantastic olive oils and vinegars. They also carry Truff sauce as well. We will definitely be back! read more

If you haven't done tastings of olive oil or balsamic vinegar before, you should try it. Honestly once you taste a specialty oil and vinegar and experiment with different flavor combinations, you'll never want to go back to plain old oil and basic vinegar. You can choose from fruity vinegars to chocolate flavored and oils that are peppery or garlicky, or just smooth. The owner is super nice and helpful and not pushy in any way. So you can go and try a few and take your time in choosing something special to take your salads and appetizers and desserts to the next level. Would also make a great gift for anyone who likes to cook! read more

the reason for giving it 4 stars is bc it is a little too sweet. Mix it with a few drops of lemon juice and it is awesome!

I'm so stoked to have stumbled upon Humble Olive Oils! I was out shopping in the Village for last-minute Christmas presents, and tucked among the boutiques, restaurants and salons, I noticed Humble Olive Oils. You enter into one, big open room that somewhat resembles a craft beer tap/tasting room, with small barrels lining the walls on either side filled with various oils and vinegars. On the right-hand side you can indulge in sips of infused olive oils - chipotle, basil and Baklouti green chile to name just a few. Head over to the opposite wall and sample their honey ginger white balsamic vinegar or perhaps the cinnamon pear dark balsamic. All oils and vinegars can be bought in 60ml, 200ml or 375ml, and you can get a great little gift pack of two 60ml bottles (your choice) for $12, or four 60ml bottles (your choice) for $24. If you can't find a small bottle of what you're looking for, the staff is more than willing to pour you one. They offer some great pairing recommendations, too! Also available are various seasonings, olives and other goodies, too! Don't forget to check out their bread/charcuterie boards for that perfect all-in-one gift. Humble Olive Oils is your one stop shop for the foodie in your life! read more

Very flavorful products, excellent service, and great prices to boot. What is there not to like about them. We haven't been in the store for about 2-3 years and, just remember the store was uncluttered and very clean with only barrels of oils and vinegar in the store. read more

Just picked these up to use as favors for a wedding shower! They turned out amazing. Humble Olive Oils made it so easy and I already know their oils taste delicious! read more

If you've ever wondered if your life is complete or not: newsflash it isn't. At least not until you've been to Humble Olive Oils (and balsamics and other curiosities). If this store ever moves locations I will handcuff myself to the door-which I realize is counter productive but you cannot expect a man to think straight when you take away his fix. I've been here dozens of times and bought something each time. You can try everything and ask questions and if so inclined, give thanks to the universe (and the owners) for this bounty of beautiful babies. It's not just the olive oil that's worth the trip (if you like a little heat you must get a bottle or two of the Baklouti green chile and the Harissa. And if you're as big a fan of infused balsamic vinegar as you tell your mother in law you are every holiday season-and you aren't getting backup bottles of the espresso balsamic for red meats...then I must ask your politely, but firmly; to leave. Go there, go wild, you can thank me later. read more

Awesome place that is not pretentious about their olive oils. We tried a lot. The sales person was super helpful. I like it. They also have balsamic vinegar and white vinegar to taste. Got the Rosemary olive oil and fresh while honey. read more

Humble Olive Oils - Olive oil tasting - Olive Oil Near Me - Carlsbad, California

This is a real easy and simple shop with a bunch of different olive oils to taste. That's basically it. When I came in here with some friends, the owner sat behind the counter and just hung out there while my friends walked around tasting and mixing different vinegar and oils. This is a great place to stop by and get a simple Christmas present or thank you gift for someone. read more

Once you try their oils and vinegars, you'll never go anywhere else. Not only are they delicious, they are well priced. Zac is amazingly helpful and makes incredible recommendations. This is my go-to whether it's for myself or for that gift for someone who seems to have everything. You will not be disappointed! read more

I first thought I walked into the wrong store. The pictures posted depict a clean, uncluttered space filled with mostly olive oils and vinegars. Instead, the store was cluttered with clothing, knick-knacks, and other random junk for sale. When I finally found the olive oils, I noticed the bottles aren't marked with a harvest date and/or best by date, so I would have no idea how old they are. When approaching the staff to inquire about this, none of them were wearing masks during a statewide Covid indoor mask mandate, so I promptly left and will not be going back. They lost a potential new customer. read more

I of course appreciate the quality and selection at Humble Olive Oils, but I must praise the FANTASTIC service. I so appreciated the quick fulfillment and delivery of my order. This is the perfect place to get gifts for everyone on your list, including yourself! read more

We went to Humble olive oil and there was no bread, just little cups to try the oils and vinegar. I bought 6 bottles of oil and vinegar and one of white pepper, should have checked the receipt, when I got home and checked it, she had charged me for the things above and 16.99 bottle of oil that I did not buy, of course since I had left already could not complain, but be sure to check your bill before you pay it, I was overcharged by 16.99. I am not going back. Thanks for the refund, am glad you did that because I love your apricot flavor vinegar and will be in and get some more. Now I can use it as I want and not worry about running out. read more

This is the kind of place that brings up a neighborhood!!!

Zack and his obvious enthusiasm for olive oil is a great addition to the village area of Carlsbad. The combination of the tuscan infused olive oil and the 18 year old balsalmic is magic! Stop by and give your tastebuds a treat. I can't wait to try other combos. read more

The boy and I had a reservation at a nearby restaurant. But got to the area a little earlier than expected. We've lived in Carlsbad for a couple of years, so we decided to walk around and look at shops. We stumbled upon this place, and decided to check it out. They had array of oils as well as vinegars. You sample a taste of what they and go from there. I ended up doing s few samples/tasting. I actually ended up buying a couple things, the lemon infused oil and black truffle oil. Which will add a nice flavor with some of the dishes I want to make. The only thing that I didn't like, was we where the only customers in there, and I believe the owner was the one on the front counter. He didn't even bother asking us if we needed help or even suggested anything. I would have like a little acknowledgement. I don't know, maybe he thought we looked like tourists and have no interest in buying anything. I would like if he came up to us and maybe give us a background of their shops, oils, and vinegars. Despite of that experience, we still bought a couple of things. And the ones I did sample were all good. Maybe I'll be back to this shop again, if I'm ever back in the area. read more

Awesome! Love the setup and the selection is awesome. Went with suggestion of 18 year aged balsamic. Will be ordering online in the future read more

Wonderful oils! Great Balsamics! Zach was so helpful! They will ship and it is a breeze! We will continue to shop here all the way from Texas! A must stop in Carlsbad! read more

Visited this place today and absolutely loved it! They have fresh pieces of bread so that you can dip them in the oils and vinegars and see what they taste like. Very good quality products and strong tastes. The couple who own it are very pleasant and enthusiastic. I hope they have great success with the business. I was super pleased with the products and look forward to using them when I get home to Las Vegas! read more

This place is great for those who love cooking. It's a clean store with friendly staff. The oils in this store really expand your imagination when you are gathering ingredients for your next meal.

The staff here is very helpful. I'm not that well versed in the world of olive oils. The gentleman suggested Pendolino for my first try. He said it was light enough to try in various types of cooking. I purchased a small bottle. It really made a difference in my cooking. I'll be back to buy the big bottle. read more
