My wife and I came here on a food tour (Maine Foodie Tours), and were very impressed, so we came back to buy some balsamic. Wendy helped us, introducing us to some of her favorite balsamic-oil combos. She was amazing! She really knows her stuff. She was incredibly friendly and down to earth, and made us want to buy everything in the store, but not in a sales kind of way. The others working there were also awesome, and the place and products are awesome. Just go there.

Read moreOutstanding experience working with Maine-ly Drizzle. We cannot say enough good things about our experience. First, we visited the shop in Ogunquit and worked with James.

We are excited to share these favors at our rehearsal dinner so our family and friends can enjoy Maine-ly Drizzle as well. Thank you for an...
Read moreLapin and I came here to replenish our stock of flavored oils and vinegar. Nick was the only person on staff and he was very nice and attentive. However, once the store started getting more busy, we were just kind of standing there waiting to check out (we waited around an additional 30 minutes). While, he was nice and we do like supporting local businesses, we had reservations and were coming close to miss it. The prices are decent, around $17.95 for "large" bottle of specialty oil/vinegar (roughly a "small" bottle at your local grocer) and $6.95 for specialty items like mustard/honey.
