This was easily one of the best shopping/customer service experiences I've had in my life.
I want to take Jerome home. Powers that be – can you please transfer him to the Boston store? (only if he wants to go – that is – and he should because Boston is the bees knees.)
Jerome curated our experience in O&Co. like an absolute professional, but even better, as one who knows the products intimately because he USES them himself, and he loves them. That much was clear.
I highly recommend you pay him a visit if you yourself are a foodie, or you need to shop for anyone who is. Taste the balsamics. Taste the oils. Have him explain. Be wowed. Spend lots of money. You will not regret it.
My previous exposure to "O & Co" was there store in Grand Central Station. I always had a positive experience there, so it was really neat to see one open up in the Time Warner Center. It seems like the perfect store to go alongside Whole Foods and Willams Sonoma (also located in the same complex).
This O & Co is smaller than its Grand Central sibling, but they definitely maximize the use of their space. The shop is literally filled wall to wall with cool products. To the left are utensils, cutting boards and other useful items. The central wall features everything from their wide line of flavored vinagrettes (aka condiments) and of course, olive oils (including black and white truffle). They've also recently expanded into other realms including spices and soaps!
Among my current favorite items are their fig balsamic, black truffle oil and a cranberry mixture cooked in wine (which was a smash at my Thanksgiving gathering).
The service here was stellar. The gentleman who helped me let me sample a lot of items (at least six) and when purchasing time came, he was great about assembling everything and putting them in neat gift bags with a nice sticker/seal over them. I also really liked how a lot of the items had been prepackaged as gift sets for the holiday season.
If you shop here, expect to throw down a good chunk of cash (or credit). This is not a shop for cheap bargains. I think the cheapest (and rather small) food items come out to around $15-20.
A beautiful shop, super friendly staff and excellent product equals a great foodie shopping experience at this store.
