Pantry On Tap Oil and Vinegar

The owner of ChocolaTea (highly recommended, a few doors down), told us about the Pantry. So we hopped over and about swooned at the tasting table. You can find all kinds of olive oil and vinegars — and TRY THEM.
I will be honest — after tasting the peppered bacon olive oil and peach vinegar, nothing else was going to matter — those are two of my favorite flavors. However, we did make a note of about 20 delicious flavors we should get next time!
The best part of this place is the friendly staff. We loved talking with them, both about olive oil and vinegar, and many other things. I just love this store — we’ll be back!
Prices start at $ 5 or so for a small bottle. You pay a deposit for the bottle, and can bring it in and then get your next bottle free. I imagine many of our meals will be enhanced by these flavorful additions.
There are plenty of other things in the store — bulk spices, pastas, etc. Definitely worth a stop!

Great store with a friendly staff, reasonable prices, and a great selection. The Caramelized garlic olive oil is to die for. Great addition to the area. Will definitely be back

I read the Mlive review Wednesday and drove over immediately. Love the store which is a couple of doors from also owner of Chocolate. Kalamazoo needed a speciality/​gourmet store to buy olive oils and balsamic vinegars. I have been driving to Holland or Ann Arbor to get Fustini’s which I have been using since they opened probably about 10 years.
She also has the best gluten free pasta Le Veneziane, it is pricey, but so worth the money. It taste homemade. There are 3 different shapes. The store has a great selection of bulk herbs, spices and salts. I used the black truffle salt in some pasta, and the lime fresco sea salt on a salad, both fabulous. I tried some tangy tamarind dipping sauce. I roasted cauliflower with the himalayan pink salt I purchased and then tossed with the sauce before serving. My husband loved it. WOW!
The store has some cookbooks, even gluten free, sauces, cookies/​crackers, Lucy’s gluten free cookies which are very good. A plus on the vinegars and oils, the glass bottles come in 5 sizes, the smallest is 100ml, which is great because you can sample more varieties and it will always be fresh compared to the larger bottles.
I will be back many many times. It is a place to go to put a gift basket/​bag for a special friend. The Pantry on Tap is very charming. Anna the person working Wednesday was very pleasant and helpful.
