We ended up getting distracted by everything else they had in store and forgot to even get any plants! They had an amazing selection of teas that i've yet to find anywhere else. I even found some seasonings that i can't find at any grocery stores, not to mention they sell Byson, Elk, and venison meats along with micro greens! Not to mention the people at the counter seemed very kind. We will definitely be back here :) I would highly recommend this place, there's so much to look at here

Absolutely zero greeting, no pause in their conversation, it was like we weren't in there at all. My son and I proceeded to look around the store, trying to locate their "loose leaf tea". Not once were we asked if we needed assistance or acknowledged in any way. We found the tea ourselves. The selection was 4 or 5 kinds, expensive and looked to be of poor quality. We left and I sincerely doubt we will be back.

They are attached, all one building. They are really responsive! I accidentally booked a reservation for 14 instead of 13, asked for a refund, and received it within a day. We arrived 10 minutes early for our appointed tasting time, and spent it wandering around the shop. We were led to the back tasting room on time and seated with a delicious tasting set of 6 olive oils and 4 balsamic vinegars, along with some bread as a palette cleanser. Our host was very informative and each olive oil and balsamic were noticeably different. The Sicilian was a great tasting Olive Oil x Italian Herb type of feeling, and most of the olive oils had the authentic black peppery aftertaste. I ended up going home with some of the Terra Verde to share with people, as well as the fig balsamic vinegar. We ended up eating at the bistro here, too (Order-to-entree: ~25 minutes-35 minutes for the entire table of 13). The flatbread was very sharable among two people. Everyone did comment on how the olive oil notes stood out in their dishes! The prices were extremely reasonable and they set aside a long table for our large group, great service all around. Overall, we had a great experience here and would definitely recommend the tasting for a unique nonalcoholic experience in the area.

Our first time making the drive out to Texas Hill Country Olive Co came on a Saturday afternoon!…read more It is definitely off the beaten path, and took us just about 45 mins to arrive from Austin. We can specifically for the 2pm curated olive Oil tasting, and we had somewhat of a mixed experience. The tasting started a bit late, and there wasn't much direction or acknowledgment of our crew waiting around unsure of where to go or what to do. Once we were finally invited into the tasting room, they were missing a couple of place settings, so we had to wait while more were prepared. The tasting itself was a very cool experience. We were guided through about 8 different oils and 4 balsamic. We talked about the production, processing, health benefits, and practical application of olive oil! The course instructor was nice, but some of the information she provided seemed suspect--perhaps more geared towards promoting THCOC oil than providing object facts (haha). The room was also freezing cold (a comment made by a few different parties). Ok I'm done complaining haha... the space itself is beautiful, and some of the oils we tasted were sublime. It really was amazing the difference in taste between different varieties and blends of olives. The infusions were very fun, business' story was fascinating. Beautiful, inspiring, and also tragic. Highly recommend visiting just to support the owner and his family. We will definitely buy their oil in the future!

I explained my struggles with anxiety, and she was more knowledgeable, compassionate, and understanding than any professional I've worked with before. She holds no judgment, just compassion and guidance to healing. I've had trouble sleeping for years, and Kassidy took the time to really listen, educate me, and support me in a way that felt deeply personal. She has such a thoughtful understanding of what it's like to be a woman dealing with anxiety, and that made all the difference. I came back today just to see her again and thank her for the help she gave me. It is such a relief to find someone who truly cares, understands the suffering that comes with anxiety, and genuinely wants to help. Kassidy is an absolute blessing,and the Herb Bar is lucky to have her.

You need to come here. I do not know another shop like this in Austin where Cantu's has been my go-to for the 21 years of me living here. This is a rare gem of a store in South Austin that you have to know about if you don't already. This is a very unique, quiet, and calm place to come in to whether you want to browse or you are curious about a consultation at Lee's Healing Center (located inside the shop in the back). When I need red mal de ojo bracelets (what are ojo bracelets, you ask? They are for protection! Look it up!) for myself, friends, or even for my baby nephew Cantu's has got them. Yup! She carries baby bracelets too to give to a newborn baby or any one who has small wrists to be honest. You will want to really take your time here when you arrive as there are so many things to see. Books, candles, prayer booklets, trinkets, statues, and tarot cards (also in Spanish!) can be found here. There should be no rush when you are here so take your time and gather all the things that call to you. Parking is located in the back of the small yellow building. Entrance is in the front off of S. 1st street. Be sure not to park in the convenience store next door where the sandwich shop is at. You will be towed! Be sure to say hello to Virgen de Guadalupe on the side of the building. The mural is beautiful (and old) but worth the stop to check out and maybe get a selfie with her. She really shines off of S. 1st Street!

I placed the order by email a couple weeks in advance and was told that someone would contact me for payment. No one did, and I called twice before someone actually took payment over the phone. She totaled it wrong when I questioned the high amount, then recalculated and came up with the right price. I was asked if I wanted to leave a tip for the bakers, I said I would leave a cash tip when I picked up the pies. Apparently she didn't understand that, because when I came to pick up there was already a 25% tip added on, which I thought was rude. Every single pie (we ordered 4) had the driest crust and was hard to cut, even with a sharp kitchen knife. I ordered pies because I was on a tight time crunch with a lot of guests and thought it would save time. Hardly anyone took more than a couple bites and it was very embarrassing because I had hyped up the local bakery so much. They were pricey and not worth it at all. Every interaction with the bakery from the time of order to pick up was terrible. We are so burnt on this experience that we won't be coming back here during the rest of the year anymore. We trusted Thyme and Dough with a special holiday meal and it was ruined. It won't happen again.
