There's some seating outside the shop, but not much, just we usually opt to take it to-go. Most recently, I got the Jackie Special on a Dutch Crunch and it was a delicious blend of meats and veggies.

The sandwiches are huge, so I like to save the other half for another meal. If you're in the Los Gatos area, this is a solid local option for a sandwich.

Holy guacamole! What a great store! This is my friends favorite store and I was helping her out…read morewith the grocery shopping. I've only been to Lunardi's a few times but I have never been disappointed with an item. Let's start with the fresh fruits - they are actually fresh! My whole life I've avoided red delicious apples because they have always disappointed. These were so good it was like a different fruit. Crunchy the way a good apple should be. Sweet and flavorful and juicy, juicy, juicy. The red delicious has redeemed itself in my book and deserves to survive instead of burned to the last tree down to the ground. I always thought I hated apples but it turns out I hate bad apples. Of course, the grapes and the blueberries are equally good, but they are not the eye opening experience as with the red delicious, mostly because I've gone grape/berry picking. Then let us not forget the made to order sandwiches! I was awed by the selection of toppings. They actually had cucumber available. Not the most common veggie for sandwiches. Also they had low sodium ham. So for those of you on restricted diets, check out the sandwich bar. Since my friend shops here regularly, I knew Lunardis would have some of the more difficult items on the grocery list. I was impressed by how the selection was so well balanced. It ranged from popular supermarket staples to some fairly exotic choices. Sugar free, gluten free, low carb, low sodium. You can find it here. Prices ranged from reasonable for the supermarket regulars to some exotic prices for the exotic items. I was pretty stunned by the final price for one bag of groceries. Service goes the extra mile. For heaven's sake you just hand your basket to the staff and they take from there at the checkout. No need to pull the items out for the convenience of the staff. I had a tough time finding items since I've been in this store maybe three times. Always polite no matter how basic the question. Extremely helpful, one staffer walked me over to the correct selection. I might not have the budget to shop here as my go to supermarket but it's certainly worth a pilgramage to pick some some special items (the apples...) As you would expect for a high end store, it was damned near perfect. I never saw an item that was shopped empty on the shelves. Bottles and boxes were neatly lined up in orderly rows. It was almost shocking to see someone had plucked an item from the perfectly stocked shelf. Of course it was spotlessly clean; the floor was almost mirrorlike with a sheet of smooth polish. There was no odor, not from the butchers, the fish, the sandwich bar, not even the bakery! Some complete perfectionist clearly manages and loves this chain of stores. I noticed even the customers were either very polite or the store had deftly trained them. Covid rules were still in effect. A large percentage of customers still wore their masks. I felt very safe and wished I had brought along my N95 respirator or at least a mask.

All fine but nothing memorable. - Lamb chops was rather a discounted. 4 pieces and mine was a tiny little piece, literally one bite and over cooked, it was completely dry. - Sea bass I had a little bite, again nothing memorable but fine. The veggies were great.

The menu has a good handful of small bites and few larger options like salads and sandwiches. I've tried a few things and really liked the fried chicken slider, short rib taco, and ahi tuna tostada, as well as the regular portion smashburger. The tostada is a little small, but there's plenty of ahi on it and it really hits the spot. The happy hour menu has some select wines and cocktails available, but you can order anything from the regular menu at a discount, which I ended up doing last time I was in. They also have some beers and liquor flights. This spot has such a cool vibe, it feels very homey and gives me an East coast nautical feel looks-wise, but the vibes are upbeat and fun with the service and the music playing. They have a good sized covered parklet that looks out to the park, which also has speakers and carries the fun vibe outside too.

I was there last time for their freshly cooked paella and it was impeccable. Recently we came back…read moretwice, once on Sunday as I forgot that the paella was a Friday thing, so the staff told me that they usually have paella and clam chowder freshly cooked on Friday. They happened to have a small tub of Friday clam chowder left for sale, for a whopping $16! That price dropped my rating to a 4 star. Service is still 5, but man, the value proposition isn't as high as before. The clam chowder tasted good, creamy and all, but $16 for that is really hard to swallow. The store itself is clean and sells a variety of meat products and imported goods such as from Italy. We came again on Friday evening, at 5pm exact and saw the paella pan laid outside with some amount of paella piled up. The pan felt cold and we were confused if they haven't started cooking or those were the left over. So we went inside to ask and they said the paella was available starting at 5pm, so what's on the pan was cooked. We bought 1 portion, which feeds 2-3 and it came in two 16 oz tubs. For $35, it fed my husband and myself just right. The smoky flavor was on the rice with meat and lots of clams and mussels (but not those fatty mussels that you saw in the Belgium style dish). $35 for dinner of two is not as bad value as the $16 bowl of chowder. So overall, 3.5-4 stars for food and value, 5 stars for service and friendliness.

Ideally, a croissant should have crackly, flaky, buttery layers. Theirs is not crispy enough. I feel this bakery prioritizes aesthetics over taste. The tastes and textures are not properly developed. Everything is overly sweet and bland. Same in their Santa Clara location. I tried pistachio basque cheesecake. You could taste cheese, but not caramelization from the Basque effect, or pistachio. Very basic. At their other bakery location, I tried a few matcha things and they were plagued with same problem. The matcha flavor was not pronounced and everything tasted ersatz and boring. Bummer. as it's a super cute little cafe in downtown Los Gatos and they have so many nice looking options.

I've known of J&P Cosentino Farm for years and knew the…read moregeneral area of where it was, but it really is tucked into a neighborhood so that you wouldn't find it unless you were looking for it. The farm sits at 2 acres and boasts a variety of fruit trees, some bee boxes, a small flower garden, and a very well stocked farmstand. The stand has a variety of in-season fruits and vegetables, starter plants and herbs (they had tomatoes and strawberries when I visited in April), and a bunch of locally made and seasonal goods. Not everything comes from the farm, but they source from other farms in the Bay Area and state, and local businesses. They also work with local businesses to use their produce for fun products like jams, cocktail mixers, and dried fruits. They have tours and events at the farm, we got a tour when we went and it was really cool to learn all about the history, see the different fruit trees, and then of course visit the farmstand after and shop around.

It's…read moretucked away in a really nice, quiet cul-de-sac in a clean neighborhood behind Branham High School on the south side. If you live in the Almaden or Branham area, it's such a cool little hidden gem and definitely worth stopping by. The fruit looked super fresh, though the prices are higher than I expected, more like Whole Foods level prices. I thought going straight to the source would mean much lower prices, but what you lose in price, you definitely gain in freshness. For example, their strawberries were $5 per little green basket (three for $15), which comes out to about $5 a pound. At Costco, organic strawberries are $5.49 for 2 pounds, roughly $2.75 per pound. The giant seeded watermelons were $12.49 here, compared to $6.49 at Walmart. (Suggestions from a visitor) A couple of friendly suggestions that I think would be really helpful: It would be great if they posted online what fruit is in season and what will be at the stand, along with the prices. That way people can plan ahead and know when to make the drive when their favorite fruits are available. Also, there are no signs letting customers know they can go in the back. I only knew because I saw pictures on Yelp. Locals who've been here before probably already know, but as a first-timer, it looked like an employee-only area so I didn't go back there. A simple sign would be awesome, it would bring more people to the back to sit, eat, and enjoy the space since most fruit stands don't have that nice extra feature. Overall, worth visiting if you don't mind paying a bit more for freshness.
