    Absolutely loved this class! It was informative, delicious, and beautifully presented. The food…read morespread was incredible--Caprese salad, Manchego and chèvre cheeses, prosciutto, Marcona almonds, fresh Texas peaches, fresh figs, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. Green apple to cleanse the palate between olive oil tastings. I learned so much about tasting olive oil. Fresh is best. Know your harvest date, and always keep it corked tight, no air. The honey portion was equally fascinating, featuring local Two Hives Honey--raw, unpasteurized, and full of unique flavors like Mesquite and Hot Honey. Learning how color, flavor, and characteristics vary between honeys was so interesting! We also sampled honey comb, which surprisingly didn't taste waxy. It's was very thin and just melted in your mouth. Beautiful food, wonderful presentation, and so much great information. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves food, olive oil, and honey! We did have a wonderful surprise of hot honey on ice cream. I never in a million years thought honey on ice cream, let alone HOT honey. Beautifully paired. Loved it. At the end of the night we did get to shop around the Con Olio's store. I bought the mesquite Two Hives Honey. I can't wait to experiment with it at home with my cooking and fun toppings.

    I was in the market for some extra virgin olive oil. Con Olio was the winning location.

The store is surprisingly large with many selections to choose from. I was able to leisurely walk around the store. In addition, con olio had cheese, candy, honey, jams and jellies. Cool vibe...looking forward to using my purchases in my dining pursuits.

    Manuel's is located in the Great Hills Market near Arboretum. Stopped in for a weekend lunch with…read moremy boyfriend this past weekend (weekend of 5/16/2026) and had an enjoyable experience. We had really good service and food. I had the poblano chile soup (poblano bisque with queso)...WOW! Delish! I also had a small garden salad. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. My boyfriend had ranchera enchiladas (I had a couple of bites...OMG, yum). The serrano peppers in the enchilada were perfect. They have a Sunday brunch that we're interested in trying next time. Love the decor as well.

Waited over 10 minutes to be greeted by a server. Had apps. The guacamole was decent. Chips and salsa were meh you'd expect them to be free definitely not worth the cost. Fajitas were ok as well nothing earth shattering. Our second server was great! She was great and responsive when she noticed we were waiting so long to order drinks and to be greeted. I noticed when we first sat down at the table there was only 1 waitress in the area who had 2 or 3 tables and no children at the other tables. We continued to wait over 10 minutes with the same waitress passing by us 4-5 times and didn't say a word. After our meal we asked to speak to a manager before leaving. Before the hostess's got the manager to see us they had a brief conversation which was an immediate red flag. They said the issue was due to shift change and table assignment. Definitely complete lies. Not a family establishment and clearly children are not welcome.

    Every time I go to Trader Joe's in Austin, I feel like a kid in a candy store! As a foodie and…read morebaker, I absolutely LOVE finding fun ingredients, seasonal treats, fresh flowers, and all the little hidden gems throughout the store. The energy is always so welcoming, and the employees are genuinely kind and helpful every single visit. I could honestly spend hours walking every aisle because there's always something new to discover. From unique snacks to frozen meals that actually taste homemade, everything feels thoughtfully picked out and affordable too. Trader Joe's makes grocery shopping feel exciting instead of stressful, and that's rare these days. Austin truly needed a spot like this, and it has become one of my favorite places to shop whenever I'm in the city. Signed, a very happy foodie named Nikita

    I live much closer to the Trader Joe's location on Walter Seaholm. But, it's a nightmare with…read moreparking, traffic (inside and outside of the store), etc. We have a monthly trip to TJ's for all of our faves (Speculoos all-day, everyday...cookies, cookie butter, & ice cream---give me everything Speculoos). We buy certain seasonings and oils only from TJ's as well as cheese and other items. If I list them all, you'll get bored. I absolutely never leave Trader Joe's without fresh flowers for our apartment. It's a TJ ritual that dates back more than a decade for me. Heck, way back in the day (over a decade) when visiting friends in L.A., I would always get flowers for their places from TJ. Anyway, back to the reason you're reading this-you want to know my thoughts on the location and nothing more. So, as I mentioned I don't like the other store for reasons of chaos. This store gets super busy too but parking is much better since there's a decent lot. It's easy to navigate through the store and get to all our favorite things. Service is always typical TJ friendly. Happy and with smiles. Products and shelves are always in stock and filled. Extremely clean store. It's worth the drive out of the city to the 'burbs for this store location.

    We stopped here on our way out of town with no spectacular hopes other than the fact that we knew…read morewe could order gluten-free without having to worry about anything, specifically churros. What was supposed to be a 45 minute to an hour long lunch turned into a very pleasurable hour and 45 minute lunch because we had a waiter named Rafael. Rafael clearly loves his job and is very passionate about tequila, craft cocktails and pretty much the restaurant is a whole. It shows through his service and we couldn't help but notice the table of ladies next to us and how well he treated them. You may be thinking it's because they were all young girls, but they were not. It was a table of mix of older and younger women celebrating someone's birthday. You can tell the philosophy of the restaurant and the fact that they're already operating under the "unreasonable hospitality" tenets of that beloved Book in the hospitality industry. They offered them a champagne toast for the birthday and proceeded to give the birthday girl a gift before they left. That and the fact that he took his time chatting with us and sharing his thoughts on the menu as well as drinks and even bringing my husband a taste of a drink that they just discussed in passing, but my husband had declined since we had a 3 Hour drive ahead of us. Without a request or prompting from us, Rafael brought it out and said "I know you've got a drive but I just wanted you to taste this since we talked about it, so don't feel any pressure to finish it." We will be back for sure because literally everything was unbelievable. It reminded us very much of the best restaurant experience we had in San Jose del Cabo recently. The Woodfire, the hospitality, and the setting of feeling like you're in a treehouse were all unbelievable.

    We LOVE this place and have been back more times than we can count. The food is phenomenal, with a…read morefresh, healthier take on Mexican cuisine that's still packed with flavor. It's genuinely crave-worthy, and there are several dishes we find ourselves thinking about long after we've left. Our only mild complaint is the service. The staff, especially the bartenders, often come across as a bit aloof and unfriendly. It's not enough to keep us from coming back because the food is that good, but a warmer, more welcoming attitude would easily take this place from great to exceptional.

I also had this almond cake once. I feel like I tasted cinnamon in it--which I love. I'll have to try that one again to see if it's a tossup between three things. I've been going back pretty regularly to try to happen upon the (round) lemon tart again, but it's hard to know when they're going to have something in the case, even if there's a label for it. I kind of like walking in and finding new things to try though. It's worked out pretty well thus far. (^__^. ) There's plenty of parking, even Sunday midday. The counter folks are kind of quiet, but they're nice enough. I feel comfortable perusing and asking questions about what's available--or not--and getting good recommendations in response. I haven't eaten there yet, but the area is nice and the inside is bright and spacious. I can see myself enjoying their treats onsite at some point in the future. It's mostly a scheduling and location mismatch for me. I'm surprised by how easy their stuff is on my stomach. I considered deducting a star for the price, but this is one, if not the only place, where I can get both sweet and savory items I enjoy and not worry about having a lactose digestive aid on hand. That's worth a bump to me. I wonder if their lemon bar uses butter instead of milk for the bar. I should probably ask. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ...
