There were rows of candy, fresh produce, cooking supplies, and more. The baked goods were incredible and reasonably priced. We got a horn pastry filled with vanilla custard and something similar to a cream puff with a thin frosting instead of cream. They were so good and I will visit again when they're not about to close to ask their name! As an added bonus, the young man working at the cash register was so nice!

And a find it truly was; the ONLY negative I can think of about this store is its location, tucked away in the excessive sprawl of a huge suburban shopping complex. I would never have known about it if a friend hadn't told me, and SO glad she did. Hopefully others will find it too thru Yelp. I am a snob for quality olive oils and balsamic, as there truly is a difference between brands and sources! Here in Ohio it's been either Jungle Jim or Country Fresh when in quest of the kind of quality I'd been accustomed to find easily in New York. The tremendous selection of oils, including a huge variety of those infused with natural flavorings, made Spicy Olive a heaven on earth for me. The balsamics, too, available in white or regular, have an array of flavorings I'd never dreamed of. Black Cherry! For a home made vinaigrette worthy of a five star restaurant. Dark Chocolate! I was astounded at how delicious were strawberries dipped in this stuff, not to mention the fat and calories avoided by dipping in chocolate balsamic instead of melted chocolate. Each variety (and there are SCORES .. Will try to count them on my next visit) has a cards with suggestions on pairings, general uses, and some basic recipes. As Kara said, the staff knows their stuff and will answer any and all questions. You can taste as many as you like and there is no hard sale pressure to buy. You won't need any though! Three sizes of bottles are available which are filled for you directly from the urns (There is a technical name for these containers, which escapes me at present). For high-quality, fresh imported product, the prices are definitely fair, certainly no more than I would expect to pay at one of the above-mentioned stores. If you are torn, they have a great option of six mini bottles for $30, mix and match vinegars and/or oils. For two bucks more you can have your choices gift boxed. (HINT HINT). We went with the six bottle sampler on our first visit as I simply could not decide. I've used at least one of them every day, in salads, sautéed vegetables, roasting, bread and fruit dipping, soup seasoning..... I can see a store like this downtown.... Or in Brooklyn. So thrilled to find this in West Chester! Put this one on your list, after you experience it you won't be buying your olio e balsamico anywhere else.

Their non-traditional aspect is notably the presence of non-dairy flavors. From what I sampled, the quality was high. My non-dairy berry cheesecake was interesting, but was outpaced by the classic simplicity of the stracciatella (plain gelato with chocolate drizzled inside) and a chocolate hazelnut flavor that blows Nutella out of the water. They have a nice little outdoor seating area across the street from Findlay market and the accompanying streetcar stop. It's pricey gelato, but I liked it better than other frozen desserts I've tried in the area.

The filling was super light and airy with just the right amount of sweetness, making them really easy to eat without feeling too heavy.

The pieces here are steep at 10$ for a pint and over $5 for a scoop on the smaller side, but I think the quality of the ice cream sets it apart. Oh- and there's a free Photo Booth in the restaurant that our family loved! Highly recommend stopping by when you're in Florence.
