Love James and Danielle! Have been stopping by this olive oil bar over the years and it never disappoints. I hate coming to Ikea, so the Hubs bribes me with a We Olive trip afterwards. Try the oil flight. Basil olive oil is our absolute fav. Goes well with so many recipes. Also, really love the balsamic vinegar. It's to die for in pasta salad and caprese salad. They refill bottles! Always a great conversation with the staff here. They are welcoming and so genuine with their foodie tips and tricks. Great for office or holiday gift giving, too.

Been coming here for a while, and absolutely love hanging here. James and Danielle are great and super knowledgeable. Their events are top notch, all while being accessibly priced.

Stopped by before going to a show at the Observatory for a couple of proper priced beers. Bartender was very friendly and had a lot of stories to tell. It was a great start to the evening. Great selection!

When someone stops by & tells you they're there for their birthday, the response is not "& you're on your own"- it's "happy birthday".I would come back if the owner had the least sense of customer service.

Beware! Unless you enjoy exorbitant prices and a terrible customer experience, I strongly recommend you go elsewhere for your wine.Please refer to other 1-star reviews for corroborating testimony, as it is not worth my time to rehash our recent experience with the dismissive, rude, and confrontational middle-aged man who served us. Suffice it to say I will never return.

My recent interaction with We Olive's customer service, 40 minutes ago, left much to be desired, and I feel compelled to share my experience. While I had initially expected to engage with a knowledgeable and passionate representative after checking out their website, my encounter was far from satisfactory.During my call to inquire about their services and discuss my unique olive oil from the Holy Land, I was met with an attitude that fell short of professionalism. The person on the other end of the line displayed a lack of genuine interest in my questions and a dismissive demeanor.I was disheartened to learn that their bottling and labeling service was only available for their own products. This response struck me as counter intuitive for a business that purports to understand and appreciate olive oil enthusiasts' needs, including those who possess unique and significant olive oils from various origins.Moreover, when I attempted to share the significance of my olive oil, which originates from ancient trees outside the city walls of Bethlehem and Jerusalem, it became evident that the representative lacked the curiosity and appreciation one would expect from an establishment specializing in olive oil.To add to the frustration, the call ended abruptly when I was hung up on mid-sentence. This level of unprofessionalism left me perplexed and disappointed.While I do believe that constructive feedback can lead to improvements, I would caution potential customers to manage their expectations when interacting with We Olive. The experience I encountered was far from the passionate and knowledgeable olive oil enthusiasts one might expect when seeking assistance with unique and significant olive oil products.In conclusion, I hope that We Olive takes these concerns seriously and uses them as an opportunity for growth and improvement. The world of olive oil deserves the highest standards of expertise and customer service, and I trust that businesses in this field can strive to meet those expectations.

Love this place! Best vinegar/oil ever. I love that I can come there get my bottles filled and have some wine or beer and snacks. It’s worth checking out. PS try the spicy hummus…to die for!

I had an a counter with the mentally unwell owner/manager. After my cousin told me about her recent experience getting dateraped while we had a flight of wine. My cousin went to check in at our table next door and told me to guard her drinks to make sure they weren’t altered.After she left, the shorter plump woman with long hair and glasses came to me and asked if my friend told me to guard her drink. I said yes and she starts pouring out our flights telling us we must check out and leave. Before she could finish her sentence she changed her mind and told me just to leave and never come back. She did not care what I had to say in response. Our table was ready and I left.After eating dinner, we passed the manager outside smoking. She yells out how rude we were for thinking a service worker would alter a drink, would remember our faces if we ever came back and would not even bother to hold a conversation to fully explain the situation.I am flabbergasted at this woman’s idea of good service and I hope the Mix sees these repeated encounters with this establishment and steps in.
