    Visited this shop and it was our first stop while visiting St. Augustine today. Sampled and tasted…read moreseveral infused high quality imported oils, plus balsamic vinegars. Even tried their most popular: Sunshine & St. Augustine Rose which were both a white balsamic vinegar that were unique and fantastic. They have a nice variety of merchandise. Such things as: pastas & sauce, stuffed olives, bbq sauces, jams, spread & other novelty goods & specialty pantry items. (see pics & video) Staff was helpful in finding items to bring home with me & that could go in my carry on luggage (also offer shipping). We bought several things for ourselves and several things as gifts for others. We also learned they do special pairings and post recipes on occasion if you follow them on Instagram too! The owners are extremely passionate and knowledgeable about their business. As well as choosing the best quality products for their customers. They have 4 locations in Florida currently. That is un-brine-lievable! Note-This shop offers in-store refills for customers who bring back their bottles which allows for a sustainable solution for returning customers. They also won "Best of St. Augustine" for Best Specialty Shop and Best Gift Shop 4 years in a row. Keep drizzling happiness like olive oil and best of luck for the 2026 award.

    Lovely store that specializes in infused olive oils. I came in specifically for their weighted oil…read morepour spout. It was during nights of lights, so the store was packed and parking was super hard to find. You basically had to be a local and just KNOW where you can park...blocks away. With that being said, I got what I came for and left. But after Nights of Lights is over, I look forward to returning and sampling their various wares.

    This isn't a restaurant, it is an olive oil store. It's small and quaint. There are 2 locations…read more When I was there the cash register was down. The person working there completed my purchase via calling the other store! I was using a gift card. They left the balance on the gift card and I will be back. They have nice gift boxes with assorted olive oils or oil and vinegar. There are many flavors of oil. There are many flavors of balsamic and white balsamic. If you like fruit vinegar, they have many. The people who work here are friendly and helpful. You can make a custom gift box too. They have plenty of wrapping options, bags and boxes. I think they moved here from Granada Ave. No photos since all the little bottles look alike. You can taste as many oils and vinegars as you want in making your selections. They have a little gift section with BBQ sauces, hot sauce, and a few other, mostly local items. To get 5 starts, this place would have to add a sit down tasting area, fresh bread for dipping, and wine to order. This is a really cute little shop to visit.

    If you are a connoisseur of authentic olive oils, you should definitely visit this lovely local…read morebusiness. First of all, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the knowledgeable, friendly team that will be glad to answer any questions and give great recommendations regarding oils and vinegars. Yes, that's right! This store also has a variety of vinegars. There's a whole host of other unique and interesting items as well. Definitely, there's something for everyone. So even if you're not too interested in specialty oils and vinegars, you should just go and look around. You are able to sample the oils and vinegars as well. There's plenty of parking in the plaza. There's a loyalty program and they have the cutest bags for your purchases. Once you go, you'll likely return. At least consider this store when purchasing a gift for someone who is a foodie or a great cook. You won't be sorry.

    A solid Middle Eastern grocer, I am assuming probably Lebanese owners--this can make some…read moredifference per things they carry. They have a good selection of Levantine and Egyptian goods, less Turkish and little if any Persian or things from the Maghreb west of Egypt for that matter. Good selection of canned goods, teas, coffee--really good on coffee--some baklava, other sweets, and cooking ingredients. They had jallab and grenadine syrups but alas no mint syrups (I'll just have to find a Moroccan grocer for that I suppose). Olive oil selection is ok but a bit sub-par for a Levantine grocer. All in all, a good grocer though and contrary to what other reviewers remarked, I found the staff very friendly as well.

    I purchased several rice flour bags from here only to go home right before opening noticed weevils,…read moreor mites (black specks) came back next day to return, I informed the gentleman he needs to remove the remaining box full of these bags as it's not safe for resale and not safe for surrounding food as they can spread to entire "pantry". The bags did not have a legible expiration date on all of them. I walked around store in case I missed other ingredients and seen he still didn't remove them off shelf. I also noticed that he short changed me on refund even when I provided receipt that states what the charges were, but I wasn't gonna argue over few bucks. With this said, please be careful and fully inspect to your best ability and check expiration dates. This experience has encouraged me to shop elsewhere. I was disappointed in the service
