    a hand holding a bottle of olive vinegar
    Jessica B.

    Heaven! We always keep fig balsamic and blood orange olive oil on hand. You could literally use any of their balsamic vinegars as salad dressing as-is.

    I'm torn and confused. I want to give The Tasteful Olive 5 stars but figure I better settle with 3 for the time being. I love what the store has to offer....olive oil and balsamic vinegars. I love that you get to taste them before buying. I love the blackberry balsamic that I bought poured over vanilla bean ice cream with fresh blackberries! I love that KC has a store that specializes in these products. I'm not a fan of "country decor" but I can overlook that if the product and service rise far above a decor choice that I'm not a fan of. The product definitely does. The service.....well! It did take awhile for anyone to greet us, which when you walk into the only store in town that specializes in oil and vinegar, you kinda want someone to say "hi" and tell you how it all works. I was pushed aside from an oil I was sampling by who turned out to be an owner, all so he could show another customer his favorites. He never said "excuse me" or asked if I needed any help! Frustrating!!! When I was finally greeted by a younger employee, she was helpful and nice. All the way from entering to checking out, it seems that the Tasteful Olive is happier to have what appears, middle-aged, suburban couples supporting them rather than anyone that doesn't fit that description. I plan on going back because the product is so good. I will update if I find the service any better or worse on the next visit.

    I love that there is a place like this in KC. I discovered them at the Pitch food event earlier this year. I think it great that you can sample the olive oils, however I would much rather sample the oil on bread. That is probably not realistic for the budget, but I would definitely try more oil. It's just after the third cup of olive oil, I feel like my palette is too coated. I'm more likely to just buy a bottle based on flavors I know I love and try it at home.

    Myriads of oils and vinegars with cups to taste

    Beware that by visiting this store you might leave yourself open to a new addiction: these are not the balsamic vinegars and olive oils that your mother purchases in bulk at Costco. There are myriads of balsamic vinegars and extra-virgin olive oils here, all with little paper cups for customers to taste before purchase. For those who want a little help, the store provides "recipes" for combinations. They also sell pasta and various preserves. My only complaint (a small one) is that the store does not have the capabilities to recycle the the glass bottles at this time.

They also host various cooking classes, and if you go to their calendar or the "pick-up food" section on their site, the owner sells tasty, home-cooked meals every Tuesday + baked breads on Friday (lately, it's been dinner rolls, challah bread, and cinnamon roles) that you can pre-order and pick-up in-store. Great local find.

    My first thought upon entering was "where are the bread cubes, how am I supposed to taste oils &…read morevinegars without bread cubes?" And then I learned. Oh boy did I learn! I saw a woman pour a little bit of vinegar into a little paper cup and sip it straight, so in true monkey-see-monkey-do fashion I did the same. My first taste was the White Peach Balsamic. Forget everything you know about balsamic vinegar, stuff this good is on a different plane of existence altogether. Wow! So syrupy and brightly flavored I now understood the glaring lack of bread cubes. Who needs them? The White Peach was like jam. I was instantly thinking of pouring it over ice cream, or ... ? It turned my world upside down. My budget permitted a purchase of just one bottle this trip, but you can rest assured I will be coming back to add to my collection. If you're curious, I chose the Lime Jalepeno Balsamic as my first bottle. All I add is a little oil, salt & pepper and I have a salad dressing that knocks my socks off!

The pizza guy gave us some good intel on what to get and not get, and our pies were made perfectly and brought out hot to us. The bakery has a great selection of freshly made cookies, cakes and other fun items and they were all reasonably priced. I had a peanut butter explosion and the other ladies had some fun frosted sugar cookies. For me the cookies were too crumbly but they loved them. The reason for 3 stars was lack of customer service. I had to go to the front to get cups for soft drinks. The woman I approached didn't say 1 word to me when I told her what I needed. She just walked away to a register where she rang in my purchase. It would have been nice had she said, "follow me," or "I can help you with that." But i figured out what she was doing and paid at the register and then told her I had a problem. She said, "what?" with an irritated tone. I told her I needed the cups I had just paid for. Again, she walked away from me, apparently expecting me to follow her, and I did. Then she asked another employee to hand me the cups. The other woman did that and I thanked her. The cashier who rang up our few groceries was pleasant and the bagger actually joked with me, so at least I had that as I was leaving.
