Had another great class with Con Olio Oils & Vinegars. My first class was a olive oil and vinegars 101 class, and it's been so helpful with my home cooking. This class is a really fun interactive cooking class. The chef comes to the store and cooks a Paella dish. As she is cooking, she is explaining what she is doing. She asks us to come up and help, so it's very interactive. We learned the traditional way to make paella. Educated a little more about olive oil and cooking, and we got to eat and have fun. Wine is also available too. By the glass or bottle. And then you can purchase items from the store in a private setting. Great class. And I hope to go to many more in the future.

What a cool store! I went here last week for a housewarming gift and was able to taste test 6 different oils/vinegars. The woman who worked there was very helpful and greeted me as soon as I walked in. I picked a lemon vinegar that can we added to food or to drinks (without all the sugar of a simple syrup), a 25-year aged balsamic that tasted like dessert, and a mild olive oil. I will definitely be coming back for gifts in the future or even for my own kitchen. Thanks for the great experience!

Love this place!! They have soooo many organic olive oils to choose from! They all smell and taste amazing! They let you sample before you buy. They also have tons of other cute gift items to choose from as well! The staff have always been extremely helpful and knowledgeable when I order in the store or if I ever call for questions. They also ship orders and make great gift ideas!! In short I love everything about this place.

I absolutely love this place! It’s such a gem!! Tabatha, the owner and Rachel are inviting and it’s evident they love what they do. They’ll guide you through all of their oils and vinegars and help you pick the right ones based on your preferences. I highly recommend doing a private group tasting, you learn so much and it’s a fun experience!

Love this place. I try to make a not-so-quick stop whenever we're in the area to see if they've added anything new to the selection.All their oils and vinegars have always been top-notch and well worth it. Plus their staff are super friendly and immensely helpful!If you like the nicer things to cook with in the kitchen, definitely try them out. Their selection is extensive, gives pairing suggestions, can all be sampled, and there's numerous size options to choose from if you love a certain flavor and want a lot or love a lot and want some variety in the pantry.

Lovely store with warm, friendly, and helpful service. You can sample the various offerings and find pairings to go with the ones you like. I loved the experience. Found a great gift for a friend and a few things for myself too.

Conolios is a new favorite! I was shopping for healthy alternatives to liquor shots for a party and Rachel was a god send. She recommended the most amazing pairings while she and Kristina enthusiastically helped us explore so many flavors and pairings. The variety, intensity, and straight up deliciousness of these vinegars is astonishing. I walked out a very happy customer and am so excited to come back!

My wife, Lauren and I made an impromptu trip to Con' Olio since we were in town from Dallas. The friendliness and hospitality at this place was phenomenal! They have incredibly delicious oils and vinegars with information on each, what food to use them on, what oil/vinegar they pair well with, crush dates, and where they are from. The employees spend quality time with you and help you with the most delicious pairings. They have reasonable prices and have the ability to order and ship online. 5 out of 5 recommend and will DEFINITELY be back!

For the home chef, this place rocks. Oils and vinegars to accent the home veggie garden. Tonight's dinner will serve raw greens and cheese, simply accented with Con Olio bottles.

I've been very lax in getting this review up, but I highly recommend Con' Olio's as a place to visit for all dedicated foodies! Owner Tabatha Conarko opened her two stores as the first Extra Virgin Olive Oils (EVOO) and balsamic vinegar tasting locations in Austin, and it's a welcome addition to the scene. I found this location to be well laid out, with friendly staff and a decent selection to choose from. The strength of CO is their willingness to let you taste pretty much anything in the store. While the star of the show is the olive oil, their flavored balsamic vinegars are well worth your time. A note to the newcomer to the world EVOO: You may find to your surprise that many samples are astringent and peppery! That's because fresh olive oil contains a high level of antioxidants, which provide multiple health benefits. I do wish that Yelp had half-star ratings as I'd give this location 4.5 stars if I could. The only reason I give this 4 is that the layout and selection are slightly more limited here as opposed to their flagship store at the Arboretum. Both are worth your time to visit.
