Casa de Fruta has a lot to offer and is a fun place for the kids, however, the prices are out of the universe. They have a wide selection of things but it is a big tourist trap, case in point, Salt Water Taffy is $9.00+ a pound to provide one example. Take a stroll and check out the scenery,... More

We thought it was just a fruit stand. It's much more. We didn't even get around to checking out the fresh fruit. We went straight to the deli where we had one of the best sandwiches we've ever had and at a reasonable price. Then we went to the Sweet Shop. Oh my, if you have kids keep them out.... More

A pleasant and somewhat kitchy oasis between 101 and the central valley. Gas, food, wine, sweets, deli, animals, park, train, rv park, hotel. They have everything that makes up a good road trip stop or a day trip destination.

We stopped here towards the end of a 2 day road trip to let the kids out, use the restroom and buy some fruit. The kids had fun running around on the playground. The bathrooms were small and not well kept and the fruit was soooooo expensive. I was expecting a side-of-the-road price and was shocked to pay $3.99 a... More

We have always stopped at Casa de Fruta on our way to Monterey (usually just a bathroom stop). Sometimes we get fruit or chocolate. Today we bought chocolate. I loved the pecan turtles, my husband loves the honeycomb. My kids devoured the milk chocolate fudge in a few minutes flat. The candy is expensive, but worth a try if you... More

We stopped here for dinner and weren't disappointed. We hadn't been here in almost 30 years. My childhood memory was not disappointed in any way. The food was still fresh, tasty and reasonable. Great pie and friendly waitstaff. Don't hesitate to stop and enjoy the fruit stand and restaurant. Neither disappoint.

My wife and I were taking a trip down the coast and decided to stop at Casa de Fruta for a quick-stop lunch and it ended up being a great choice. The service was absolutely awesome from the time we stepped in the front door as we were immediately greeted and seated. The service from the time we sat down... More

We had to detour off the 5 to send files to our daughter. I took off with her computer, my bad. Casa de Fruta, between the 5 and the 101 is a great coffee shop with great food, friendly service and free wi-fi. There is a whole little village here and everything is cleas and really cute. Free wine tasting... More

This review is only about the restaurant. The gift shop etc was fine. However, I would not recommend having lunch midweek. We stopped on a Wed. before noon, before MOST of the tour buses off loaded. 35+min to get served. Food arrived cold and served several minutes apart from one person to the next (we were a party of 3).... More
