Smashing Olive is a great place to visit and I am sure that you will l find an oil or vinegar (or more than one) that will interest you. Place has a great ambiance and friendly people working here. With it being in a shopping plaza, parking should never be an issue. I definitely recommend a visit here. read more

Soooo, this is a very cool place and I think they have great products and they make wonderful gifts. However, I will not ever return. I have been there 3 times now. The first time I bought about 8 bottles of olive oil and vinegar. They were garlic infused and a lychee white balsamic. At check out the young lady gave me a card that you get stamped when you make purchases. That first day I got 5 stamps and filled 1/2 the card. When full you get a 200ml of olive oil as a reward for your patronage. So I thought great. How awesome. The second visit was this last Tuesday. I bought Xmas presents for some friends and family. 6 bottles to be exact for 90.00. When I got home my wife reminded me of the card and asked if I could drop back and get my stamps for the purchase. So I returned 2 days later on Thursday with my receipt and card. The girl said there was no way she could stamp them. She made several reasons why. But tbh, they are completely insulting and dismissive. She said I could have used someone else's card and there was no way for her to verify that it was me who made the purchases. Even though I had my receipt, card and personally spoke to her on Tuesday. As a matter of fact she is the only employee I've ever had contact with there. It sucks that number one she refused to honor my purchase with stamps but two that the reason is because I could be being dishonest about it. Again even though I have my receipt, stamp card, and credit card used for the purchase. So I will never return and will now be extremely vocal as to why nobody in my world should ever go there. I'm a chef by trade and am now retired but have many foodie friends and industry associates. So Tallahassee, that's my take on the Smashing Olive. read more

Smashing Olive - Olive Oil Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

We have also had a negative experience with customer service; accidentally picked up a spicy version of olive oil that we would never use and returned it unopened and in store condition, but were told that they do not accept exchanges under any condition . We were frequent customers, despite the high priced products. read more

I reached out to the owner a month ago by phone to inquire if she had Truffle oil and she said to come visit her store when I was in town. This amazing olive oil and vinegar store was spectacular and definitely worth a visit. There are so many specialty items that I could not resist taking home 3 bottles of oil and vinegars . We also were able to learn something about how truffle oil needs to be used and how the smells/ taste may change over time but are not bad after time. She offered tastings and encouraged us to try some delightful flavors that we used that evening on our salads.Pure deliciousness!!! The owner also offers $1 off refills of her oils if your return your original bottles washed and clean. I liked that she offered that as I am into help save the environment. She does all the fillings of bottles and was very Covid conscious which I appreciated. Will definitely be back next time in town for more culinary oils as we know the ones purchased will be used quickly. read more

I will not be returning to Smashing Olive after many years of it being my go to store for my own addiction to their White Balsamic Peach vinegar as well as gifts for friends and family. The oils and vinegars sold here are top quality, unfortunately I cannot say the same for the young lady who works there. Her curt and nasty behavior on several occasions has finally convinced my husband and me to find another outlet for quality oils and vinegars even though we are in close proximity to the store. We both have a long history in the restaurant and retail industries and are appalled at the service we received at Smashing Olive! I have to believe that the owner is not aware of her employees behavior and the negative effect it has on the customer. Smashing Olive is a wonderful addition to Tallahassee and I would hate to think that it will suffer due to the inadequate behavior of one single employee. read more

We have purchased some olive oils from Smashing Olive in the past. Also some nut butters from samplings at the POS area. Good products. The original reason we found our way into the store was for that delicious Bradley's sausage they sell. Best smoked sausage I've ever eaten. We live 35 miles from the store so it's usually a special trip. Several of our recent visits have gone void of Bradley's. Twice they were sold out. During one of those visits, I was told they were sold out, as another customer came in, asked for and received the 5# order she'd called in ahead. I thought that was a great idea for someone like us living so far away. I called the store last week and asked if there was stock to have 3# of sausage put aside for me. The associate on the phone said she couldn't do that per the store owners policy. I brought up the fact that we live almost an hour away and I'd provide a credit card in advance. Owners - please reconsider your policy. read more

Omg! How I have not known about this place. I absolutely love olive oil and vinegars. Upon entering, I was greeted by the sweetest woman. She was so happy to help and guide me through my tasting journey to locate what would be perfect for me. The amount of items was amazing. So many varieties of tastings from olive oil, vinegars, honeys, and so much more. Just wow! The pairings of flavors was a party for my mouth. The heat with sweet and delightful savory choices. Also, it was incredibly affordable. You can purchase bottles for as little as $5 each. This is a great way to make gift baskets for your friends and family with high quality items. I made many choices of olive oils and vinegars that were from sweet heat to savory adventure. This is the perfect pairing with a charcuterie platter. I will definitely be back. Maybe as soon as today. read more

I am obsessed!!! Made my first visit this past weekend and loved it!!!! So many amazing flavors. I think this is a hidden gem

Terrible service. I've been 4 times. The second time the staff was rude when I just wanted to refill my olive oil. I figured I would give them another chance and it was fine. But this fourth visit will be my last time entering the store. I walked away empty handed. I cannot support a business with rude staff. read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this Boutique. Don't let the name deceive you....the prices are about the same as olive oil in super markets, the BIG difference is the infused flavors and the quality of service. I will be a faithful customer for A WHILE. read more

I was there in June and found the woman that helped me was so informative and very helpful. The staff has always been very knowledgeable and helpful without being pushy. I came in to buy more of 2 vinegars that I like and she suggested that I taste Pomegranate Quince vinegar, and it was so delicious and light in color. It is slightly sweet with very little acidity. My husband pours a little of it on canned salmon and canned tuna to moisten it. The vinegar is also delicious on veggie salad. I don't even use oil with it. I plan to return to buy more vinegars next week. I wonder what new vinegar will be suggested I try? read more

Been here a few time and they always have amazing oils and vinegars. The flavor combination they have are wonderful. Well worth the price to add some flavor to anything that needs a little lift. Always great service as well. read more

This store focuses on selling the freshest olive oils and richest vinegars. I never realized how necessary such a store was until I visited over the weekend. Since then, I can't imagine going anywhere else for my oil or vinegar needs. You see, Smashing Olive sells pure olive oils guaranteed to come from olives crushed no more than 6 months earlier. The oils vary in potency from mild to very robust. Each offers its own unique flavor experience. Just like an elegant wine tasting, Smashing Olive offers everything to sample. Their white balsamic vinegars are rich. The dark balsamic vinegars are unforgettable. You can mix and match to make your own blended vinaigrettes. I moved from one style to the next, taking in each experience, until I sampled the entire selection. I absolutely recommend Smashing Olive to everyone! Please check it out. read more

What can I say!!! This is the best olive oil and vinegar in town. They are so helpful when choosing what might be your best product flavor.

I have been going there for at least a year and have such a wide variety of oils and vinegars in my pantry.It's such fun to cook and try different favors. I can't say enough wonderful things about this store. Go and try for your self. You will be a Smashing Olive groupie!!!!!! read more

I stopped by Smashing Olive last night on my way home. So glad I did. This is best described as a "Boutique for Olive Oil & Vinegar). They had more than 20 flavored olive oils and an equal amount of flavored vinegar. Additionally, they allow tasting to better help you make your selection. I purchased an amazing Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar and some others to give as gifts. I also found a delicious Raspberry Jalapeno jelly. It may be hidden, but aren't most gems? They allow you to bring back your used bottle (after you have washed it in the d/w) and refill. I found some great recipes on their website too. I will be back. read more
