Olive Pit

They have a great selection of items. Everything is tasteable and free from the oil to the olives to the jellies and spread and they also have a restaurant where you can eat ice cream right off the highway and must be for families, couples and families with children.

More olives than you can shake a stick at. And pickles. And more olives. And tapenades. And olives. Sure, there's also a restaurant here that has burgers and shakes (without olives). But they also have a LOT of olives.

I bought three jars of olives, one jar of hot/spicy olive oil and one jar of "hot" cauliflower. All were nicely wrapped and survived the 3000 miles from here to home. Delicious.

Yes, there are olives available for tasting. You want to try "Texas Hot Chili" olives or "Blue Cheese Stuffed" olives? Yep, that's available.

This place is AWESOME! I'm not a roadside attraction type of person normally. But this place has got me twice now in the last 6 months. This time I spent over $100, and it's totally worth every penny. I didn't eat at the deli last time, but after eating their olives, I knew the sandwiches had to be great. After I finished my sandwich, my mouth kept watering, wishing for more... great job.

With many different stuffed olives and olive oils and other things. A great place to get olives of many types plus the tasting bar is a great way to sample some of the different types n flavors of stuffed olives. Plus there's a small restaurant and wines. A must see place on I-5. And you can order online $15 shipping.

This olive emporium just off of interstate 5 is definitely a stop worth taking! A store packed with a multitude of olives - including a tasting station - the place also has oils, balsamic vinegars, wine, honey, hot sauces, and gift items to list a few. They also have a cafe, which I checked out - just because. In spite of an intriguing assortment of sandwiches, including a bacon jam burger and a muffuletta, I chose the regular hamburger. Their side choices were bagged chips. As I went to the side to wait for my food, I saw that the "kitchen" was nothing more than a snack bar with machines - no grill or stove. This made me immediately question whether my choice of eateries might be questionable. I must say, though, I was impressed! Though far from the best burger I have ever had, it was very tasty and had all kinds of pluses. It was on a warm toasted brioche bun. The condiment bar included things like tapenade and olives, as well as the old standards. All in all, a satisfactory meal and a stop I highly recommend on any trip on I-5!

Loved the history lesson on Corning and olives. Their selection is phenomenal and as always taste great. Their deli BLT was flavorful.

Perfect “pit” stop on your way through Northern Cali. Good people. Good eats!

We love this place!! The flavored olive oils are to die for! They have an astounding number of olive types and flavors, too. You can't drive by without dropping in, I promise, it's worth it!

When I asked the family whether to rate this a 4 or a 5, the response I received was perfect... "It's a 5. They have free samples!"

The people here are always friendly. The restrooms are usually clean despite the number of people who use them daily.

The olives are great but a bit pricey. Despite that, we almost always stop on our way up or down 5 and always buy something when we do stop.

If you are passing through and like olives, wine 🍷 and amazing burgers 🍔 than this is a must stop and do place!!
So many different kinds of olives, wine 🍷 beer, spices and other canes and dried foods to choose from!! You can even try them before you buy.
The cafe has some great food options and some of the most unusual and unique shake options for you to try 👍👍

My grandma always had a jar of olives from olive pit in her refrigerator door..
Im so glad I got to stop here and put some on mine ❤

I've never seen olives done this way. My buddy from yreka goes in there a few times a year and spends way over $100 each visit. But he's buying a lot of olives. I bought two jars and opened up one today. 1 jar is stuffed with artichoke and the other jar is smoked flavored. The one stuffed with artichoke was totally delicious. I will definitely be back

Fun olive museum of a store. Restaurant is pick-up order and the BREAKFAST menu isn't too impressive in addition to the considerably late 7:00 opening. Parking is great and employees have terrific good morning energy. It was a fun stop, but the food quality of the breakfast was a letdown. However for LUNCH, the Malibu Garden Burger is amazing in the category of veggie burger function (not imitating meat [thank God])! My fifth star is very borderline for how the breakfast is status quo, but parking, ambience, service and lunch is superb!

I'm partial to places that have kind of a theme so that a more unique experience is offered than more standard restaurants, especially roadside pit-stop oriented places. This place is a perfect example, and the food being really good helps its case. I got the muffuletta sandwich and the blood orange shake. I didnt expect much of the shake because I'm not a huge fan of oranges, but it was done so well even I loved it.

This was the main reason I stopped in corning, needless to say if you love olives this is the place to be. I love the different variety of Olives that you simply won't find in a normal grocery store, the dry black olives, the jalapeno cream cheese stuffed olive, etc. Also the cafe is great, try the mufeta Olive sandwich, and an olive oil milkshake.

The cafe is a great place to get a quick meal. Recent lunch was a build your own vegetarian sandwich with an olive salad, muffaletta. The muffaletta takes over but that's fine because it's a interesting flavor and texture. ( A little messy so easier to be stopped while eating.)
Clean bathrooms on the store side... And lots of olives in the store.

A great place to stop during a road trip! Free trasting of all sorts of olives, the best being stuffed jalapeno and blue cheese. They also have tasting of other deli items such as stuffed african peppers with cheese, olive oils and pastes.
There is an adjoining cafe where they make their popular balsamic shakes and burgers.
Support the local Corning community!

Finally got to stop at the Olive Pit ...it's more than just olive oil and olives. My boyfriend bought us lots of good interesting items😁😍 soon to try them all out. Pictures to come of actual items bought. Pictures are of things that caught my eye.

On our long road trip, being so tired of all the typical food chains, we decided to eat at an individually owned restaurant and were pleasantly surprised at the availability of fresh selections to add to our burgers and sandwiches. We were very satisfied!!!

Best selection of fresh local olives and olive oils in Northern California! Nice store atmosphere with a tasty cafe. Wish they would bring the wine and beer bar back!!!

A pretty sweet little shop. We saw the sign while driving on the highway and decided to stop by. There is a restaurant, but we were intrigued by all the flavors of olives! They let you sample several flavors and they were all really great! This is a fun little shop if you are a foodie or want to look at kitchen gadgets!
