Oil's Well That Ends Well…read more Locally owned and grown olive oil company that saw its humble beginnings over 25 years ago (1996) when the founder, Theodora Stephan, planted her first olive trees in nearby Santa Barbara--with her first harvest in '98! Fast forward to today, and they've grown from a roadside farm stand to having won multiple award for their EVOO, as well as having two boutique stores, this one and one in Solvang, to go along with a mass production facility in nearby Buellton. The Good: *Friendly, no pressure customer service *They have monthly olive oil and balsamic vinegar clubs *Over 40 food products to choose from, including their award-winning EVOOs, balsamic vinegars, mustards, spices, sauces, and more. *All EVOOs are organically grown *Lotions, bath salts, and other skin care products *EVOO tastings The Meh: *Store is a bit on the smallish side and cramped for an ogre, such as myself. The Ugly: *A lot of prices are not displayed/not marked on the products. I know, I know if you have to ask... But, anywho, that's one of my pet peeves about places like this. It's not difficult to just make things clear. TLDR: Cute little store in a charming town. If you love EVOO like I do, then definitely check them out.

We were directed here from our hotel in Solvang (the Landsby) that stated they offered…read morecomplimentary olive oil tastings to Landsby guests. The paper we were given by the Landsby said "no reservations required". As soon as we walked in, the sales associate was very rude and asked if we had a reservation. I simply stated that we did not because the paper said no reservations required. She said "yeah we need to change that. well, it's going to take me a while to get it ready". We said it was fine and patiently waited. The olive oils and vinegars themselves were tasty, but we will definitely not be coming back here due to not feeling welcome and not friendly service. We felt very awkward being there and were going to buy a bottle of vinegar but decided not to given how uncomfortable we felt. Don't waste your time.

I believe she's the owner quite frankly, and she was so helpful, so kind she really made this experience an even nicer one to be honest. You can find the cutest little knickknacks in the store great personal gifts quite frankly, I would go and just check it out. Also be careful because since there's a lot of things that can brake. just want to be on the cautious side because the store is really small. You can find plenty of parking on the street on Main Street in Solvang or you can find parking behind their establishment. Either way you have to check out this store.

I had absolutely no intention of buying anything in the shop. My attention was first captivated by PJ Salvage dog and horse pajamas, all nicely bundled together with gift tags. The pajamas ranged in price from $59 for the cute matching flannel dog pajamas to $67 for the softest horse pajama pants. A bit pricey, but unique finds! Further browsing revealed a lovely selection of western style attire. I found a beautiful colorful blouse for my mom that I simply could not resist! I wish I could've resisted the beautiful sparkly flannel shirt for myself, but that jumped in my pile. Cheri perfectly wrapped my mom's gift in burlap. My mom will love the wrapping! Cheri was kind, professional and friendly. Her boutique is quite nice and has a lovely selection of western attire (clothes, boots) and miscellaneous goods like blankets, dog bed, and home goods. I will definitely return... more than likely for pajamas for my horse-loving cousin.

The women at the farm were very pleasant and helpful. Definitely 5-stars for them! The concern was that everything was covered in a thick layer of dust/dirt. We get it - there is a dirt road leading up to the area, but that should be all the more reason to dust everything at least once a day. We did purchase a couple of things for us, where we wouldn't mind damaging the labels, etc. by washing the bottles, but we didn't purchase anything for gifts, as we had originally planned to do. There might be some great and fun things to do at the farm, but we were only able to experience the store and that is what the review is based on.

I actually wasn't planning to buy anything, but I gave in and got a very and I mean very small amount of gummy bears and chocolates. I only spent $2.08 LOL. This is a very minimal purchase for me. I usually spend more than this for sweets, but I had to have some self control as I have had too many sweets at that time. Staff was nice. Service was quick.
