"A reluctant two stars because the chutney I bought isn't bad, it just isn't worth 28.00 a pint. I tried the peach chutney here circa 1993 and it was so good it led me to develop my own and can it at home. Back then, it was around 14.00 and it took some prodding to get me to buy it. But it was good, and I forgot all about the price. So now my wife and I..." Read more

"Way Overpriced!! We were there March 1, 2015 and I thought I'd take a bit of local flavor back to the Midwest with me. Swallowing hard at the $20+ per jar, I bought the apricot preserves and the specialty ollalieberry  preserves. They are just okay. The apricot had full halves of apricots in it making it almost impossible to spread and was much too sweet. Th..." Read more

"I stopped in here with a friend on a recent girls weekend, and at first glance, it's a charming little shop.  Jams galore!  Jam TASTINGS, even!  How quaint.  Very cute at first.The jam is okay.  Not bad, but not great.  But I'm a jam fan, as is my friend, so of course we're thinking "we should get some! we're on vacation!"  We can't find pric..."

"Diana's review is spot on!  The owner at this shop is unfriendly and completely not engaging.  We stopped by to try out and intended to buy their supposedly famous mustard.  From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, there were absolutely ZERO eye contact or any greetings!!  We tried out their mustard sample and every time we touched..."

"OVERPRICED.I'm sorry to have to open the review with that, but I do (or, to put an exclamation point on it, perhaps I should have written "HOLE IN WALLET")Which is not to say the stuff is bad. It isn't. Most of it is good -- in particular: all of the mustards (very spicy -- not from chili peppers or anything, just pure, intense mustar..." Read more

"Cute little shop, run by a horrible, rude woman.  We tasted all the samples on the table and loved everything, but when we went to the counter to buy something, the proprietress was cold and insulting.  Rather than help us find things, she found fault with questions we asked, as if the shelf-location of her products were self-evident and we were impertinent..."
