Definitely a hidden Gem in downtown Maplewood. I decided to stop in to see what they had to offer…read moreand I'm glad i did. They sell infused oils, Vinegars, spices,liquor, wine and spirits. The oils and Vinegars are in barrels lined up on the shelves, with labels that show pricing and a brief description. You are able to taste all that they have to offer, just reach out to staff for assistance. I saw quite a few different olive oils i wanted to purchase, but opted to go with the garlic infused olive oil. I did sample it, and it was absolutely delicious. You can definitely taste the garlic. It was almost as if i was eating a fresh baked slice of garlic bread. I'm looking forward to going back and purchasing the chili Olive oil, and the pomegranate Vinegar. The gentleman working at the time stated Vom Fass has been around since 2006. Beautiful clean layout. Plenty of parking outside and friendly staff! They offer tastings in store so be sure to check them out. Also, they are an Eco conscious store, so all their products are in reusable glass containers. Bring in your clean glasses to refill.

I continue returning to Vom Fass, great offerings and especially nicely wrapped and curated gifts!read more

Everyone is so friendly, from other shoppers to the staff who checks in to see if you need anything. I was looking for Tuna, but when I saw the selection, I couldn't remember which type I needed so that just means I will have to go back! I bought a large jar of capers because I can never have enough of them and I happened upon a frozen Seafood Mix Mediterranean PanaPesca. This looks really good and I think it is for a pasta dish, I will try it and see. I wish I had known when we were there that we were going to have winter weather this weekend! I would have purchased a lot more and if you need to know this, they have fresh yeast cakes. I would have purchased it to make St. Louis school cafeteria rolls.

You can order online and pick up once you arrive - you also get chips and a drink of your choice. They also always seem really happy that you've ordered from them so that's nice. Will be back here again for sandwiches and more.

They have experts on everything you could ever need - wine, cured meats, preserves, pasta, and more!!! They have everything. Like I walked in asking about Gjetost (a Norwegian cheese) and they had it. They also have an incredible cheese monger by the way who I didn't get his name but he was really kind and knowledgeable. Cute decor too, very kind of rustic and homey. Reminded me of my time in Italy. Oh and they make fresh bread!!!! I've been looking for a cute little market like this so I can shop local and this place is just fantastic. Had a pretty incredible turkey sandwich too - I added speck to mine! Sandwiches all come with chips + a soda too.

Love the Bitchin sauce, I didn't think the Chipotle flavor was much different from the original but still delicious. I was nervous about the rice, I have had some that is not good at all, but both of these were great. The Blue Zone Bowl was awesome, too. More items to add to my list to continue to purchase!

There is street parking and a private lot behind the building. There are 2 entrances, one is directly into the cafe and the other is into the market. There is very limited seating inside. Most seating is outside on their flower-laden patio. Service was friendly, warm and helpful. I felt like a valued customer. Unfortunately the drink I wanted to try was the tahini date steamer but it wasn't available today as they were out of dates. I chose the herbal hibiscus elixir iced. It tastes like you are drinking a flower because you are, and it's full of antioxidants. The market has a lot of "foodie" finds like wine, special sauces, specialty cheese, smoked fish and house-made Mediterranean spreads. I'm interested in trying the canned cocktails. They are 24% ABV and cost $7. I will be back!

I always come through the shoppe side, see what new food stuffs and nibbles they have here; they even have gluten free pastas and sauces available; in addition to their wide assortment of meats, cheeses, sauces, wines, liquors, drinks, cigars and the list goes on. Being an iced coffee fan I can drink theirs without any added sugar, it's that smooth! I picked up a hunk of the carrot cake they had there for my mom and dad as a treat and they almost fought over the last bite! The entire neighborhood around this place is coming up-- you have to stop by here at least once. You won't regret it.

I love this place because of their knowledge and they usually have brands you've never heard of. I was able to chat with the guy who knows rum and he made a couple of suggestions and offered tastings. While I'm still on the hunt for a spiced rum that doesn't taste like Christmas, he introduced me to a new rum. It's a Jamaican and Barbados blend. I love when the molasses flavor comes through as it does on this one. It's a full bodied rum. I also believe he said it was new to the market. Thank you for your help especially since I arrived a little before closing. CHEERS!

It was on an absolutely perfect hoagie roll from local bakery Union Loafers, and it was one of the best sandwiches I've eaten in a while. In addition to the sandwich, I picked up some beautiful beef jerky, an "end" of mortadella, and a couple of other goodies. Service was quick and friendly and it was a really great stop and I really like that they do not use sodium nitrite in their products, they are all natural! And very tasty. This was the first time visiting this place, although I've passed it many times. Shame on me! I was missing out on some real deliciousness.

How thoughtful! Can't wait to get this again. 5) Spumoni 8/10 - Tasted great, just served in such a small dish, it made it difficult to eat at first and was melting over the sides of the bowl right at the start. Couldn't dig the spoon in easily for fear of it pushing right out of the bowl. 6) Lemoncello Cake - Perfect for someone like me who loves lemon cake. Not overly sweet - just right. Serving size was perfect for an individual. 7) Chocolate Cake - Perfect serving size for one, my friend had this, so I'll definitely try it next time. This was our first visit. We have now downloaded the restaurant's mobile app and plan on placing future takeout and delivery orders as well.

I pop in for gelato frequently, but I also enjoy the pistachio raviolis a lot. You really can't go wrong with any pasta choice, and I haven't tried their pizza but it looks and smells amazing.

I do recommend getting a reservation because they get really busy during peak dinner hours! The staff is always friendly, from the hostess to the waiters to the bartenders, I've never had a bad experience. Highly recommend this place!
