OLIVE Specialty Grocery Store

Love the variety this store has to offer!! They have things I never find at other stores. Very unique, you can spend an hour in there looking at their products. The staff is also very kind and everything is organized nicely. Highly recommend stepping in.

Love this specialty store unique to any other on Clement Street. The displays are inviting and neatly organized. Olive is chock full of Mediterranean delights like good olive oil, pasta, dolma, olives, jams, beans, grains and an impressive selection of wines (many on the higher end though the owner found me a wonderful Sicilian white for $20). If you want to spark your culinary creativity, gather some cheeses and olives to graze on, put together a gift or find an incredible olive oil, venture into Olive.I found fresh Salt & Savour brand sauerkraut to make patty melts like the one served at Santa Rosa's Americana (see my review for patty melt photo). It was tough to choose just one flavor.The owner is Ukrainian and has a kind, zen attitude. This store is clearly a labor of love. Olive is just across the street from Burma Superstar. Venture in while you wait for your table.

Olive Specialty Grocery Store is one of those places that's fun to explore even if you're not looking for any specific food item. They offer a wide selection of olives, pickled vegetables, spreads, jams and jellies, sweets including halvah, tinned seafood, nuts, chips, frozen foods, coffee, tea, and wine.The food comes from many countries in the Middle East and Southern Europe... things that you typically won't find in most grocery stores. Everything is artfully displayed and tantalizing to see.I walked in to satisfy my curiosity and walked out with tinned seafood from Spain and chocolate covered halvah. I plan to return with no pre-conceived ideas of what to buy and will let my eyes guide me once again.

unique grocery store whose claim to fame is "Lebanese wine" hahaI got a potato wrap frozen to try..mediterranean middle eastern grocery store...clean and fun to browse on Clement St.

I was walking around in the area and noticed OLIVE's gleaming front beverage fridge - beckoning me in.I saw that they an Adaptogenic Mushroom Cola - and was excited to try it. I decided to buy a couple of cans - and in the process began to further explore this well curated store.The woman at the front (I believe she may be the owner or one of them) was lovely and so welcoming. The store is clean and well laid out and I delighted in their formidable selection of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, European & locally sourced products. If you're looking to wow someone with a well selected house-warming gift or want to treat yourself - this is your store! Hands-down. I was particularly enamored with their sweets selection - they carry Middle Eastern treats - like Turkish delight, Halva, Kanafeh etc and in the front of their store they have feature an impressive array of incredible chocolates including local favorites like TCHO. The lady helping me - said that they should even be getting in some wonderful Hawaiian chocolates soon too.In their back refrigerated and frozen section - they carry everything from eggplant dip, beef doner, frozen savory and sweet pastries, bulgarian Sheep Cheese, feta spread, and much more. On the right (as you enter) you can find exceptional pasta and pasta sauce options, olives, quality teas, crunchy snacks, caramelized fig preserve, unique seasonings.... the list truly goes on. On the left - you will discover a formidable selection of unique wines and liquors. They carry everything from wines from - Chateau Musar (a Lebanese winery in Ghazir, Lebanon) - to Japanese Sake. Definitely take your time exploring this store. I kept on discovering new products and new delights throughout every inch of this gem. Glorious finds ranging from ground sumac, A'Siciliana's Blood Orange Soda, Georgia's Natural Tart Cherry Juice, incredible fresh sauerkraut (some of the best I've had in years!)- and a wealth of new natural non-alcoholic beverages which truly made me beam. As I was checking out - there was a man with an adorable dog sporting a trendy vest and little booties. The lady helping us both - smiled big - and offered the owner a treat for his dog. She took such genuine enjoyment in seeing the dog enjoy it.I hope this store continues to thrive. I could tell how much care and love was put into selecting what items to sell at this store and how passionate the owner(s) is/are about featuring outstanding and delicious products from all over the globe. Trust.

This store is amazing and a gift to the neighborhood - there is nothing like it for not only specialty food items but everyday groceries as well. Foodies take note! Not only middle eastern foods but many other regions as well - European, Eastern European, North African, you name it.A strong wine selection, every day spirits and liquors (beer and mixers too). Yogurt? Milk? They have it. Fillio pastry dough, Turkish delight, 00 Flour, isreali couscous, speciality crackers or hummus and tzatziki, rose petals and spices galore, local chocolate or middle eastern pastries like baklava....Happy to have Olive in the hood :)

This store is quite alright. My girlfriend and I went here. Some cool imported products. Lots of veg-friendly items. We picked up some high quality imported pasta from Italy that looked quite alright.My late Uncle who lived to 101 trained with Joe Atlas in Brooklyn back in the day and fueled his workouts by eating a pound of pasta a day. Of course the pasta was prepared different ways to keep things interesting. Legacy!I am third generation Italian so following my Uncle eating pasta on the regular. Nice store with quality goods. Check them out.

Olive has been a great addition to the neighborhood. I like their selection of whole grains, cheeses, chocolate, pickles, oils, vinegars, teas, and coffees. The owners are very nice.

I love this store! It has amazing olive, peppers, truffle options. Everything is aesthetically pleasing and the store is so clean! The owner Kateryna is so welcoming and sweet! I'll come here over and over again. I'm so happy this place exists
