Shelves and shelves of jazz and pizzazz!!! Infused olive oils, seasoned blends, balsamic hot…read moresauces??? Almond stuffed olives, strawberry jalapeno jam, maple mustard??? And that's not all- you can sample it all with delightful crisps and crackers! This is one of my favorite browsing spots when I'm in Creede and is always one of the first few stops I make. This year it was our first stop... after hitting up the visitor center for wifi! :) This is a family owned business that opened in 2010 and I stumbled upon them the following year, been stopping in ever since! They are next to Elk Country on the corner of Wall and Main, you can't miss the bright green sign! There are olive oil blends from across the world for those fancy cooks out there. You can get them at $18 a pop! I'm an eater, not a cooker, so I always turn my attention to their pantry of condiments and foods. The price range seems to be $8-$30, but the cheaper items are in really tiny containers. This isn't your every day stuff you can get at the grocery store though, so that's to be expected. This may not be a one of a kind concept, but it's an extremely unique store with a lot of flavor combinations you wouldn't have considered before! The best part is they always have a table laid out to sample all these strange sounding concoctions first. It's always a large variety and plenty of crisps to go with them. Samples aren't uncommon, but it's nice to see them so prepared; takes the awkwardness out of asking so you can make sure you love what you buy. They also carry a small selection of items from local artists and vendors. That's fairly common in this town but their soaps, bags and jewlery are always nice and get my attention. I think the soap may be theirs as I haven't seen that specific type at the other nearby shops. However, the point is that there is enough variety in this shop for everyone to enjoy some eye candy! No matter how often I stop by, I seem to realize I've overlooked or missed something before. I didn't even realize they sold mustard before this year! My stepson stopped by all excited about maple mustard- and of course, where else could he have gotten it from? :) My mother in law usually comes away with some goodies most years too. They also have a website where you can order everything, including whatever there isn't room for on the shelves. That is especially useful if you ran out of a purchase and were craving it from across the country. In regards to customer service, I've never consulted with any of the owners before. I always see them with someone, and they do seem to take their time with each customer. Since it's usually one of my first stops, I'm excited to get out and see how the rest of the town has changed. So instead of waiting around, sometimes in a line, I take my personal tour of the product and move on with my shopping. That's doesn't keep me from coming in, I'm drawn by all the colors and curiosity anyway! Besides, I like that they give each person the attention they need. Come if your palate is feeling adventurous!

Plenty of beer too with some focus on Colorado beer, didn't really browse much and don't have a taste for wine but it looked like it would have more than enough to satisfy all types of wine needs but of course snobs may have shit to say about not having some 1973 vintage whatever. All in all, better liquor store than I expected in such a small town.

I cannot recall how long this…read morelocation has been here, but I'm certain it's been the only location consistently open and operational for liquor in Creede for at least 7 years. This location has a fairly good selection for being out in the mountains, I was surprised the first couple of years that they had as much variety as they do compared to other small towns. That being said, prices are high due to the laws of supply and demand. Not outrageous, but higher than what you can most likely get back home. They have several of my husband's favorite brands as well as lighter, fruity mixes that my mother in law likes. Plenty of beer as well. Service is fine, though not overtly friendly. In comparison to other locations that have come and gone, at least they have normal business hours you can count on. There is also plenty of parking as they have a good size lot right at the edge of town. I would say this is 3 1/2 stars but they get the other 1/2 a star by default of being the only game in town.
