    Oh! This was a good find! Steve and I weren't even planning on stopping by here or even knew of…read moreit's existence while trying to meet up with a friend. After we got done with our visit we had just enough time to duck in here and check it out. There are lots of spices and some that are not easy to find so Steve stocked up on some for meals at home. There is also a wide variety of balsamic vinegars with a wide range of flavors. You can get a spoon and taste different ones which is a lot of fun to do! What also drew me in was their candy selection. While it's not a huge section some of the things they have are quite unique. Like a licorice caramel for example. I purchased a few of those and they were very enjoyable! Definitely a great place to swing by and take in their options. To one side of the shop it looked like a small wine tasting area. While it was closed when we were there probably it being close to them closing that is something to explore there as well.

    This is such a great little shop. Not only do they have a wonderful selection of silver high…read morequality spices and delicious teas, they also have a great selection of oils and vinegars as well. I also enjoy the selection, albeit small, of gift items - always high quality and most often things I can't find elsewhere. The staff is helpful, but leaves you alone until you're ready. The new location is easier to access (slightly, parking in gh is hard any day) but is so much bigger the selection has gotten even better!

    A Bit of Taste is a refined shop specializing in two things: olive oils and balsamic vinegars. The…read moreshop is essentially a tasting room, much like Woodinville's tasting rooms run by wineries -- in this case for a wide variety of olive oils and vinegars. While we first discovered these olive oils and vinegars in a similar shop in Victoria BC, they are available in Snohomish and on Bainbridge Island. In addition to olive oil and balsamic vinegar, the shop has all kinds of associated items -- pouring spouts and the like. While we tasted a great many flavors of olive oil, and quite a few balsamic vinegars, we keep going back to the same favorites time after time: * Traditional balsamic vinegar * Tuscan herb infused olive oil There are many other interesting flavors, but these stand the test of time. And while one can use them to make a great oil-and-vinegar dressing on a salad, our favorite way to consume them is with a fresh good-quality baguette, ideally made the same day by a real french bakery (like La Parisienne in Seattle). A little oil in a dish, a little balsamic vinegar poured through it, then a hunk of baguette dipped in the balsamic-tuscan-herb mixture. Yum!! The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, and it's hard to go wrong with any of the choices. Well worth a drive to get high quality ingredients. We are big fans.

    Omg this was such a gem to find. We were in Snohomish trying out some sandwiches and on our way…read morehome when passed by this place offering free samples. When we came in we didn't expect the superb level of hospitality and service from Georgia. She walked us how to navigate the store and recommended really good pairings of olive oil and balsamic vinegar that was so much to our liking. I have never knew that you could even use balsamic as a mocktail. My mind was definitely blown by this idea. We couldn't just leave without buying anything after that careful selection and recommendations from her as she was super knowledgeable and sweet! I think this time we'll definitely come back with some families visiting. After this visit, we ended up buying the cranberry, pomegranate and peach balsamic for future mocktails and maple balsamic with tuscan olive oil.
