Beeland

Reviewed By R740HAds

Beeland never fails to delight my taste buds! I try something new every time I visit. The quality of their treats is top notch. Worth every penny. Cool building and best views in the valley from their porch. A hidden gem that is on a scenic drive between Golden and Radium. Gourmet and unpretentious.

A huge thank-you to Fiona and her team for offering such superb service! As a local, I feel incredibly lucky to have such high quality products available nearby. I've "explored" more than 25 of their amazing olive oils and balsamic vinegars and always look forward to spending time in the store with their knowledgeable staff. We are currently in the midst of Covid-19, practising social/physical distancing. In typical Sunshine Coast Olive Oil Co. style - they have stepped up by offering on-line/over the phone ordering for either drive-by pick up or free delivery on the Coast. How wonderful to have received my oils and vinegar at my door within hours of ordering!! Thank-you, thank-you for all you do!

This place has always been so good to us. We live in Calgary (7 hours away) and have a fusti. There aren't many places in Calgary that you can source oil from and even if you can they are expensive. Olive us sends us 3-5 Liters whenever we need it, for a good price and fast delivery. Last time we also ordered their SUPER delicious balsamic and sadly the bottle broke despite being packaged well. They had a new one out to us ASAP no questions asked! Highly recommend this place!

My 2 teenage boys thoroughly enjoyed carving their inukshuk soapstone souvenirs with John as an alternative Apres ski activity. My inukshuk was an opal inspiration with Chris. Thanks guys.
