    Just had a wonderful dinner and experience at olive and wine bar. The store has an incredible selection of oils and assorted foods. Virtually everything is California grown. The service and expert knowledge from Fathia was wonderful!

    So excited that this shop has reopened in Pasadena. They have a really impressive selection of olive oils and vinegars as well as great gifts and other yummy treats. The staff is super helpful and can give you recommendations on flavors you'd never think to put together. You can try everything, which makes for a very fun and filling shopping experience!

    I can’t wait to dine here. We shopped for some of their infused olive oils and found the place to be very cozy - a comforting place to be. The staff was amazing. Knowledgeable and friendly, pleasant and not too pushy for purchases.

    My first time visited Pasadena and stop by this fresh olive store. Very kind and friendly staff who is a black woman and made me happy to get good experience in Pasadena. I will visit later again. Thank you!

    Good selection of flavored oils and vinegars that you can taste before purchasing. They also have a wine bar, but we did not check it out on this visit.

    Coming here is like seeing friends. They are so loving and welcoming and accommodating. This is a cute little place to come for lunch, a great glass of wine and spending time with loved ones.

    Very lovely place. Reminded me of Europe. Great hospitality. My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed their food.

    I came into this unique shop when they were only a gift shop. Then unfortunately they closed due to renovations and let me tell you.. it was worth the wait. The only reason I say this is because, 1. they sell a variety of olive oils and vinegars. You can get someone a gift, come in for a quick lunch Or both. They also have a wine bar!!! Anyway, if you're ever in Pasadena. Check them out! Awesome staff and great atmosphere.

    Whether you are looking to have a nice glass or two or five of wine or you are just here to taste and buy vinegar and olive oil, you should visit this bar. Both indoor and outdoor seating, plus by the bar. Selection of dozens of different kinds of oil and vinegar.

    I only had a glass of red wine, "LOR Absent Minded Prof." and it was good. Customer Service is good. Happy Hour ends at 7pm, which gives a lot of time for working people to get off at 5pm or 6pm and enjoy a glass of two.

    Update, two weeks later: So after a slightly rocky start, we went again - the food and wine were excellent as before, but the service really really improved since the last time. I can highly recommend this place to go for a good time. If you with friends, make sure you try "family style" - order loads of munchies - the four of us shared the charcuterie board (the salami was among the best I ever had), the flatbreads, the baked brie - and a sample plate of their delicious oils - so so so good - and given the superb quality, reasonably priced. Not to forget: did you ever try vanilla ice cream with olive oil - you should ;-) I will sure go again soon. Oh, what a wonderful place - and an amazing concept. My wife and I took two friends yesterday. We were seated at a table for two, with the promise to be relocated to the table next to us as patrons were close to getting their check. Never happened, no problem. I wanted to order a bottle of wine. The service recommended tasting their canned wines - 4 different ones for $49. Canned wine? I come from Germany, from Koblenz, where the rivers Rhine and Mosel meet. Canned wine? Seriously? Still, why not try something new? So the four of us received four balloon glasses with the four wines. Wine tasting? Share every glass physically with four people in times of Corona? They must be kidding. I would have expected to get four cans - and, in all honesty, four small glasses for each of us. Sure: it ain't the Ritz - a personal glass for each of us. But sure: this ain't "The Ritz," so we shared. We are really good friends, and we did have a good time. The wine was OK - which sounds as if something was wrong - it wasn't. It was OK - nice experience, but I would personally not order again - while it may be perfectly fine for you, the reader (by the way, I appreciate you reading this ;-) Then: the food. As with the wine, we wanted to share. We started with the baked brie, which was really really good, and the burrata flatbread, which came soaked, and I really mean soaked, in Oil. Sadly, it did not come with silverware. We asked three times but never got it. Then, we asked if we could have at least some napkins. We got two. We were here to share, weren't we ;-) I asked for the check. The printer had issues. Happens. We were not in a rush. Service offered a sip of wine while we had to wait. Sure, a nice gesture. Sadly, the wine never came. After just under half an hour, we got some sort of check - still issues with the printer. We were charged $61 for the wines - they were charged separately and not, as per the menu and recommendation, as the $49 offer. $12 was refunded. Receipt: sorry, the printer. I really wanted to love the place, and as we enjoyed the company of our dear friends in a nice atmosphere, loved the brie, and drank the wine, I did not want to spoil the evening by arguing about the service, which really "has potential." It would have been easy to make this a five-star recommendation, as the location, atmosphere and general concept scream fabulous. I would possibly go again. At the moment, I feel sorry for the place.

    Will and I actually enjoy this place mostly for just shopping we've never actually gotten any wine from here. Last time we were there we got the jalapeno olive oil. I enjoyed it but I don't know if it was exactly what I was expecting I guess I thought it would be a bit spicier. Next time we go I want to get another bottle that has a more unique and distinctive flavor that way I can see if they're really that good at flavoring their oil. The staff is really nice and each time we've gone it's been very quick and efficient.

    Sweet, fun, yummy, friendly. The wine recs and olives were perfect. The 2oz pours meant I could try several. I loved this place! Comfy for me traveling solo for work.

    Great products, great service. The service was personable. The waiter was humorous and helpful, and knowledgeable about wine. He helped us pick out the wine that suited our taste. The patio was beautiful and relaxing. Not too casual, but casual enough where you can relax. The wine is was tasty. We will be coming back.

    Loved their selection of olive oil & balsamic. I suggest you try the olive oil & vinegar mimosa! They have a lovely patio in the back where you can enjoy some small bites and a glass of wine or … a blood orange olive oil & fig balsamic mimosa. The fudge brownie with blood orange was to die!!!
