What an amazing shop! The varieties of oils, vinegars, and honeys are just the beginning. If you are diabetic, keto, gluten free, dairy free, or vegan - they have something for you! Their sugar free keto chocolate chip cheesecake bar was absolutely amazing. They said that you could taste the difference between it and their regular cheesecake bars, but you could have fooled me! My husband had their vegan triple chocolate cupcake and was so surprised that it was vegan. I think this has become our favorite shop from just one visit. We will be back! The shop is cozy and the staff are incredibly nice as well. :) read more

Great selection of Oils & Vinegars and other miscellaneous items, HOWEVER, although they were "nice enough", I'm unsure if brown people are welcome. The entire time while visiting, I was watched, and not in a "May I Help You" Manner! It was very strange as the entire time I shopped, the vibe felt off. It made me very anxious to say the least. I hated to write this as I did spend a ton of money there but maybe for starters, sensitivity training, should be implemented as to make it feel more inclusive to everyone, not just those of one race. I could truly tell the difference in attitudes with those who came in the store. Upon reading the reviews, I do see that another reviewer has a post similar to mine so it's not an anomaly. It's a cute store and has so many things I'd want to try, but I won't return and will spend my money elsewhere from here on out. read more

Positively wonderful selections of premium balsamic vinegar and flavored olive oils. Their gluten free bakery is fantastic. Check it out!

Such a nice looking store. My friend and I are both GF. We often travel together and are always searching GF restaurants and bakeries. This bakery unfortunately was disappointing. Everything looked so beautiful and delicious, but the looks were deceiving. The banana cheesecake cupcake tasted like artificial banana extract was used. And the s'mores doughnut went right in the trash after one bite. It tasted like wet sand, dense and oddly dry at the same time. We had such high hopes for this cute shop but we will not be back . read more

Calling all folks gluten free!!!! The entire store is gluten free!! What!!! I have never had the privilege to visit a store like this. Everything... pasta, oils, desserts, body care, wine , beer. I'm sure there is way more than what I'm listing. I bought several pastas, fajitas mix, curry mix and more. Prepare to drop money. For example I bought 4 different dry pastas and that alone was $49.92 FYI, please open locations on the west coast... read more

Good selection. However do not be a POC because even the customers that come in after you will be serviced first. The ones after is even got greeting when they entered, but she did not greet us until she circled us looking. Will consider returning because of the selection, however. Just pack your patience. read more

It's not bad if you are GF and want a sweet treat. Now- tailor your expectations, it's not out of this world good. The banana pudding cake/cupcake is really unpleasant, but the Key Lime bakery item was tasty. I won't be returning but I could see how someone with a GF dietary need would possibly find something they like. read more

Fantastic olive oil selection. They also have some pretty tasty baked treats for those with a sweet tooth.

I go here once a year for my birthday. And periodically for olive oil. They moved this year and the new space is beautiful! I may have to come back to check out the coffee bar and get a few more treats since it is closer now. They have a huge selection of olive oils that are very high quality. The real stars, in my opinion, are the desserts though. Everything is gluten free and made fresh in a dedicated gluten free facility. They have dairy free, egg free, paleo and keto options too. They actually taste like the real thing too- I've tested multiple gluten eaters on their treats and they all love it. We ordered the brookie, peanut butter crack bar, triple chocolate cupcake and a carrot cake cupcake (not pictured). The carrot cake tasted more like pumpkin but it was still so good that we ate it before I remember to take a photo for a review. read more

Can't say enough good things about the southern olive. As some who has celiac, this is a godsend and they will forever be my favorite bakery

Wonderful place for special occasions. The bakery accommodates all allergies with out sacrificing taste. The staff is so helpful.

Delicious gluten free cupcakes! Highly recommend! I had the Key Lime and my sister had the tuxedo. Get the large size, you'll be glad you did! read more

Love it!!! I ordered macarons for a Sip and See with my new grandbaby and they were amazing!!!

From the minute we walked in we received the best customer service and knew this would be an awesome place! They have a huge selection of keto friendly and paleo sweets, as well as gluten free options. So nice to have these healthier alternatives when wanting some dessert! read more

Super friendly staff and a delightful selection of gluten free "healthier" bakery items! Love visiting every time I come into town.

It was my wife's birthday. She is gluten intolerant. It's very difficult to find gluten-free cakes, donuts and cupcakes anywhere in the area. This place has it all and you don't have to order it two or three weeks in advance. Great service, great prices and great taste! read more

The infused oil make every dish perfect. Light and highly digestible. Attentive service. Gem of a business

Cute place but $5 for a donut?!? Heck to the no! I almost fell over when I was charged $10 for 2 donuts! And they were more like cake, not donuts. read more

This is such a great place. They have such a large variety of delicious keto bakery options. The owner and staff are super friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend stopping in. read more

This was the ONLY place I could get dessert when I was on Keto. The keto cupcakes are realllyyy good, considering , but the non keto are delicious too. I haven't tried the olive oils yet but it's on my bucket list. The workers here are very friendly and are knowledgeable about the treats. Recommend 10/10 read more

I don't have enough words to express how lovely this shop is. Friendly, knowledgeable staff helped us find the perfect oil and vinegar combination. The gluten free bakery treats were AMAZING, and they have so many to choose from. I highly recommend you try it out. read more

Today we stopped in to this lovely gem. A bakery dedicated to gluten free items. Oh what a treat! It's difficult to find fresh baked gluten free items anywhere in Charlotte. If you do, the items are thrown in the same cases as regular baked goods. Two words for you... cross contamination When we walked in and said do you have any gluten free items. They replied "it's all gluten free". Situated near fort mill in Indian land. It's a 25 minute drive and totally worth it. The employees were lovely and accommodating. My wife was so impressed with the quality of the items we bought . We will most certainly be back. Thanks you for taking care of the Celiacs. read more

Reluctantly I dub this place with five stars, although it is certainly not the greatest i have ever experienced; but it does meet the Yelp! definition of being as good as it gets. And so it is, as an olive oil and products with accoutrements for olive stuff, I guess that there just isn't much more that the COULD do to be better. It is clean. The staff knows what they are doing. Samples galore, as it pertains to the various olive oils and vinegars (both from olives). They also have coffees, teas, a wine bar and I think beer, along with some simple pastry/bakery snacks. Yes, drop in for a mouth tour of the olive products and then sit down and enjoy a coffee and goodie. On our first venture here we bought a sampler pack of I think it was 3 or 4 oils and 3 vinegars. Something like that. We tried them all at home. The flavors are great: orange, blackberry, lemon, etc. And what a difference they make on simple salads. Surprising. The vinegars were a little tricky and we learned that you use one or the other: either flavored oil or vinegar. The flavors can compete unpleasantly, sometimes, with each other. What brought us in the first time was when we saw a sampler at the annual Lancaster Animal Shelter Supporters fashion show, banquet and auction. THAT put us on to The Southern Olive, getting us in the door v. just walking by it as we went into Publix. Worth your perusal. read more

Great place for olives, olive oil and amazing baked goods! Everything in their case is gluten free and many allergy free incredible treats! Service is always good! A bit on the pricey side but when looking for allergy friendly and high quality it makes sense. Love stopping by here and their GF cupcakes are better than regular ones!! read more

The best around for gluten free! The peanut butter oat bars are beyond amazing and addictive!

This place is absolutely amazing! Their dedicated gluten free bakery is freaking fantastic. All of it. The cookies and brownies and cakes are just insanely good. You would never miss gluten again! Love all their olive oils and goodies. Probably my new favorite place here in the Carolinas! So happy to have found this place. read more

Cute shop with a bunch of gluten free choices. Just watch out for the bagged dry pasta if you have celiac's disease.....the bags show they're processed in a facility that also processes wheat. BIG cross contamination issue. Companies shouldn't be able to say they're gluten free but then clearly are not. read more

Ambiance is great. Service is awesome. Good place to shop. Xxxxxxxxxx. Xxxxxxx

So good!! We got keto cupcakes for my husbands bday. Amazing we will definitely be back. read more

UNFAIR & RIDICULOUS of the previous Yelper Cindy to award ANY business 2 stars based off of her PROCRASTINATING nature!!!! Cindy, perhaps during prior educational years (economics) you were napping? Might want to apply to your local CC & take economics for dummies. Clearly, even you would comprehend overhead cost associated with staffing and foot traffic obviously the proprietor is OPEN during hours that warrant staffing. As a business owner myself I get perturbed with folks raking businesses over the coals (2 stars) for ridiculous reasons. #humbleyourselves NOW to tell you the GREAT news!!! The vegan brownie in this place really surprised my husband & I, it was too die for, SOOO yummy!!! It had absolutely NO after taste whatsoever all the while the cocoa flavor was at the forefront. The texture was spot on as it was very chewy. The house blend coffee was really good as it was completely void of ANY bitterness all the contrary it had a great smooth finish. The staff was very accommodating and flexible as they ensured my smoothie did not contain ANY fruits that I am highly allergic too. They read labels and were SUPER attentive and VERY flexible. My strawberry smoothie was very nice, thx ladies. SALADS are NOW being SOLD ...it's a cleaver idea to offer patrons the olive oil & balsamic of their choice for their salads. Can't wait to try! The INTERIOR wood tables are beautiful, I really appreciate the craftsmanship and the creativity behind the wood pieces. Gorgeous!! #supportlocalbusiness #Romewasnotbuiltinaday #smalltownhospitality read more

This a fantastic bakery for all variety of dietary restrictions. My mom is gluten sensitive and I greatly appreciate that everything in the bakery is gluten free. Every treat I've tried has been great, their chocolate cake in particular is delicious. This is our go-to for any special occasion treats for my mom. It's a bit of a drive for us so we don't go frequently but it's worth it when we make it down there. read more

The Southern Olive - Special order 6" cake with salted caramel frosting. - Bakeries Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

I frequent this gourmet bakery more often than I care to admit. It's absolutely ruined me for other bakeries since the goods from this shop hit so delicious. This bakery has it all. Gluten-free, vegan, paleo, keto, dairy free, egg free, all natural, and more. I'm not even on a particular diet and still can't get enough! read more

KETO-FRIENDLY BAKERY!! After reading the reviews, I drove out there from Mint Hill. They had a good selection of keto friendly desserts. The lady at the counter was very nice, willing to answer questions, and make suggestions. We got the cheesecake, chocolate chip cookies, brownie, and chocolate iced Cupcake. Everything was really good! My 13 year old (who wants nothing to do with keto) got the cheesecake and loved it!! I think we found our new favorite bakery!! read more

Could be one of the greatest places on Earth... not just Route 521. Beyond the extensive selection of oils and vinegars you forgot you needed are coffee and baked goods that are mind-blowing. One of those places you want to tell others about.,.but not if one of those people you tell wind up taking the last cupcake. Book a flight with Expedia if necessary. Yeah. That good. read more

My caramel latte was well done by the proprietor himself. The bakery items are made by the owners right in the store. The main focus is the many, many specialty infused olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Add to that some custom pasta and you're on your way to an excellent meal. read more

Completely blown away by this place. I moved to Charlotte last year after a lifetime in the Northeast, where people are slightly more health-conscious and accepting of "weird" diets like my annoying gluten-free one. Upon arriving in North Carolina, I realized that avoiding gluten was going to be a little trickier than it was in Boston, and for the most part, that has definitely held up over the past year...until The Southern Olive entered the scene! I've had the chance to try 2 different cakes from Olive at work events, and they reminded me of my pre-GF days. They are 2 of the best cakes I've ever eaten. The first was a chocolate ganache cake with a stripe of raspberry jam through the middle. The second was a "chocolate-churro" cake that was rich and chocolatey, with a hint of cinnamon and a delicious creamy frosting. I knew that the cakes were gluten-free, obviously, but until doing some research on the Olive's website today, I had no idea that they also don't use any artificial coloring! That is UNHEARD OF in any bakery, and so amazing and important! I don't know what these cakes cost since I have yet to personally buy one, but trust me - they are probably worth double whatever Olive is charging for them. This is the first bakery I've ever heard of to take their work to such an extreme health-conscious and high-quality level, and still create a ridiculously delicious product. I am amazed by Southern Olive! read more
