This is a hidden gem!! Located right by the parking garage behind some Washington St. street-facing…read moreshops, this shop features flavorful olive oils, wine, and other items such as pasta and pesto. I've since visited this store twice - once when they first opened and once a few weeks ago. Their selection of balsamic vinegars in different flavors are fresh and unique for the area. I really like that they have spicy oils too, which are my favorite! They have testers with bread of each product so you can test your favorite before purchasing! I don't find their prices too be that expensive either! I would definitely recommend supporting this local business downtown if you're in need of some fresh oils or vinegars!

If you're a foodie and an early bird, this is a good stop in downtown Naperville; they open daily…read moreat 8 am, even Sundays! This shop, home to many varietals of olive oil, vinegar and other gourmet goodies, shares space with Dark Horse Pastries, so you also have your choice of baked goods. They also sell a small array of wine and beer, and products from other local companies such as chocolates and honey (creamed raw raspberry honey, anyone? Sounds good to me!) You can taste all the varieties of oil and vinegar. Like it spicy? Pick from habanero, jalapeno or red pepper oil! Want fruit flavor? How about Mexican Lime, Meyer Lemon or Blood Orange? The balsamic vinegar came in an array of interesting flavors, including Dark Chocolate, which I think would pair well with strawberries! I liked that there were larger and smaller sized bottles to choose from (small size was 5 oz). They also sell a modest range of dip mixes, mustard, pesto, pasta, and assorted other treats. The addition of the bakery in the same building makes this shop a little different from some of the other gourmet places around here (note that there are several other places in downtown Naperville that specialize in this type of product). It's slightly hard to find (go down the alley between Potbelly and the yellow house building and it's in the courtyard behind), but worth looking for! Staff was friendly but not pushy, and quite "on" for early morning! :) Note to credit card users: if you spend less than $5, an extra 50¢ charge is added.

The matcha flavor was excellent rich, smooth, and consistent from start to finish. It's the kind of drink you can enjoy at your own pace without the flavor fading The staff was very friendly and attentive. One of the employees appeared to be in training, but the service was still great overall. In addition to their drinks, they also offer a selection of food items on the menu, which is a nice option if you're looking for a snack or light bite. The location has convenient parking and a drive-thru as well.

Was very excited to try out this place after hearing positive things. From the moment we walked in…read morehere it felt as if we were burdening the staff by just coming to get a quick bite. There was a total of 10 of us and naturally we had some questions about menu items, which none of the two workers were able to answer. After receiving very little help, we decided to order around 6 different bites and a few drinks. We waited a total of 20 minutes and then the first drink finally came. In total, it took around 45 minute for us to receive every single thing we ordered. We were the only ones in the restaurant. The server was not even able to tell us what she was bringing us, which did not make things anymore fun. The drinks were subpar. The teddy bear latte and cinnamon latte were good, the matcha was not, and the Irani chai was terrible. The butter chicken pasta, the tacos, and the chicken nuggets were all very bad unfortunately. Would be better once they improve their staffs basic knowledge of the menu, the turnaround time on orders, and quality of their food. The atmosphere is nice, elegant look on the inside. For now, 2/10, would not return.

Jesse was very knowledgeable. Not just on the products in the store but also had great suggestions…read moreand ideas on what to pair with my proteins. I needed help choosing the right salmon for my meal prep plan. He not only helped me make the best decision for my wants but also helped me figure out exactly how much salmon I needed to buy. I also needed chicken tenderloins and I was very satisfied with the quality of the five pound bag I got. It was more than enough meat for a good price and I couldn't beat the quality. I will say that the only thing I was disappointed with was the bones I found in the salmon. I'd prefer the salmon to be 100% boneless but I understand that it's common for a few to slip by when you buy salmon. It happens everywhere. The store is small but it had everything I was looking for. There was a decent selection for items I wasn't even looking for. There's bison, kangaroo, boar, duck, elk and venison. I'm excited to try elk and boar next. I also want to commend Lori for her extremely kind and friendly demeanor. She made me feel comfortable in the store and it makes me feel a lot more encouraged to continue coming back. She was very nice and if the whole staff is as nice as Jesse and Lori were then I definitely will be back.

Mayneland has been in business for generations. A small local business who gives so much to the community. Their produce is minimally treated and picked fresh and ripe every day. It's not picked "under ripened" and then driven across America in a gas guzzling semi. And best of all, they donate the unsold produce at the end of each business day to "Loaves and Fishes"! Why wouldn't you want to support a local business who does so much for our community? Bring cash or check. Actually, just bring your checkbook; you might see all of the produce and not want to have to keep it below your cash on hand. I am making vegetable soup tonight and every vegetable was still growing as of this morning! Knowing that brings a whole added level to the words "comfort food".

I decided that today will be my last visit here. I live right down the road, and sometimes I walk…read morehere to get my "steps" in. I have gone here for over 20 years, and during most visits I have not been treated well. The ladies have been unhelpful, or closed-mouthed when answering my questions, and just simply unfriendly. Perhaps they are just over-worked or tired. At least that's how I justified their off-handed treatment of me, and my continued patronage over the years. So I put up with a fleeting moment of mistreatment. But today, that same old bad attitude appeared after I asked a simple question during my visit, that could've been answered more directly & easily. I questioned myself why do I even bother, especially when their produce isn't superior to other places I can go, to get farm fresh produce. There are more farmer's markets around, such as McDonald's Farm at Knoch Knolls Park in Naperville. Maybe my visits were wrapped in (wannabe) nostalgia, or due to convenience of location. Whatever, today I hit the top of my tolerance for their rude-ish treatment. This decision should have been made after an earlier visit this summer when a cashier looked at me crazy because I did not leave an electronically-produced request for a tip. For what?? Standing there just doing your job ringing up an order??? And lastly, their produce isn't the tastiest, and is really overpriced in comparison to other places around. I guess I kind of felt sorry & wanted to support the place. But no more. I am finally done. Fed up and moving on. Mayneland Farm is no longer an option for me.

Staff here is absolutely friendly and helpful and know their merchandise really well when it comes to finding something specific.

The inside is super cool, there are numerous spots for photo ops and they even have a ring light and camera holder if interested in using it. My first time visiting I tried the following cupcakes: chai pumpkin latte (daily special and DANGGGG DELICIOUS), Almond wedding (my least favorite but still good, I think almond cupcakes just aren't for me), cookies and cream (divine, rich, 2nd favorite), and the Boston cream (also 2nd favorite lol). All of the cupcakes were moist, fluffy, and full of flavor. They are made daily and you can feel and taste the love. Area 51 is definitely my favorite cupcake spot of all time. I've gone to Area 51 probably every week since finding em and I can't get enough. They also made cupcakes for my baby's gender reveal. They were extremely accommodating and everything turned out perfect! I highly recommend them for custom cakes, cupcakes, or even just grabbing 1 of their daily made cupcakes. SOOO GOOD!

Be fore warned, everything is spicy, even the butter chicken has a little kick to it!

I ordered "medium hot" chicken biryani a few months ago and it was so hot it took me two days to eat it. What a wonderful two days it was though. There is also a butcher in the very back right that another friend likes to use for diced lamb and other meat. If you are with random levels of hotness in your food, this place is worth a try. My favorites are the butter chicken, chicken 65 and the biryani.
