BAIT AND SWITCH FALSE ADVERTISING sign said 6 LARGE avocados for $1. The closer you get now it says "with purchase" ok no problem I'll buy some $8 strawberries. NOW all of a sudden there's a $10 minimum... other reviews say $5. So we buy a big avocado for $2.50 to make the min. She only lets us get the tiny ass golf ball avocados for the 6for$1.... Lady was rude af Maybe the stop right behind them is better. Wouldn't come again and wouldn't recommend read more

The stand manager was friendly and helpful, but the selection here was limited. Even though it was the end of cherry season, their cherries were considerably smaller in size than that of other stands. Garlic Braids - Medium size garlic braids were $19 when they are $14 at other stands for the same type braid. I'm guessing their selection is better at different times of the season. If you have some time, check out some of the other fruit stands nearby and compare before you buy. read more

Cherry 152 - Street Vendors Near Me - Hollister, California

DON'T WASTE YOIR MONEY HERE. The the produce supposedly due to COVID so you can't inspect it. They place the fruit in bowls showing the good side and your chose the bowl. Then they immediately dump the fruit into a bag and keep it behind the counter until you pay. When you are able to inspect it you find the fruit is bruised and in terrible condition.The the fruit was $5 for a bag and all unusable as you can see from the photo. The garlic is super expensive at $8 for a bowl of super small bulbs and $19 for a braid. The Advocado's they advertise are kept behind the counter so you have to ask about them. They are so tiny that we didn't bother buying them for the 10 for $1 (some reviews said they may advertise 13 for $1 at time) that they advertise to fish you into the stand. Maybe they just make up the prices when you are there because the fruit and garlic have no posted prices. Con me once and everyone is going to know about it. read more

Cherry 152 - The garbage they are pushing. - Street Vendors Near Me - Hollister, California

Don't get suckered into this scam. Most of their fruits are lumpy, rotting, and overpriced. Tried to buy 2 garlic ice creams($4.00 each) and 10 avocados($1.00 with other purchase). Total was $9.00 and I gave them $10. The cashier started hesitating and not wanting to give the change and said the price of the ice cream was actually $5.00 each, but they forgot to change the sign. I don't want to cheat a small business out of their money. Being the son of a small business owner myself, I know it adds up. I offered to give them the extra dollar since the new total would be $11.00. The moment I held the dollar up the cashier snatched it as fast as they could and put it in their tip jar. No thanks or apologies, she had just quickly moved onto the next customer. After that, another customer had asked if he could get something. Not sure what specifically, but the cashier said "I can get it for you, but you only if you tip me" read more

NOT WORTH STOPPING AT THIS STORE. I stopped for 10 avocado for $1 but all avocados are 1 to 1.5 inch small size and already well ripped, some are bad quality. I managed to find 10 okay quality ones then the guy said " you need to buy more than $5 to buy 10 avocados for $1". I put all avocados and left without purchasing. I looked it up this store on Yelp and read other people's comments. I understand why this store has way fewer stars than the other stores in the same area. read more

This was a good place we stopped off at before hitting Casa De Fruita on the way from Nor Cal to So Cal. The guy was really friendly. The selection was limiited to a degree But, overall it was a mini-farmer's market where we wanted to support local businesses and merchants like this. read more

We stopped here because this kiosk is strategically located with a huge sign. $1 for 10 avocados! On closer inspection, the avocados were little and did not look very good so I skipped buying them. I bought a jar of their pure wild mountain honey for $8.99. It isn't local honey but it's still tasty and a good price for unprocessed honey. Also picked up a bag of garlic which was a great buy. The garlic was fresh. read more

Bought 5 bags of each oranges available (Caracara, Blood, and Navel) The lady informed us we can get avocados for $1. Like anything avocados varied in size, got some big some small. Can't complain for a $1. Not to mention they tasted delicious!! I wish we got the name of them. read more

The guy helping us was THE RUDEST! Terrible attitude and seemed like he didn't want us here. When we gave him the money, he stated he didn't have change and that he could only accept dollar bills. Then as we are scrummaging to long for dollars in our wallet, he goes "guys it's ONLY a dollar." Rude dude. Do not ever come here! Also the avocados they gave us in our bag were super small and rotten. GO TO THE OTHER FRUIT STANDS! Do not come here read more

Originally, I was going to give Cherry 152 a relatively generous, three star rating despite the "M'eh" experience... Two stars would've been more fitting but it wasn't until I sliced open one of their "Six avocados for $1," that I finally concluded on the one star. Cherry 152 - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cherry-152-hollister?select=MdTBCBRaDe7MHBos01LLPg I don't usually stop @ the roadside fruit stands you'll find peppered along HWY 152 (Pacheco Pass Highway). I sometimes take HWY 152 going to and from the SF Bay Area; it breaks up the long, monotonous drive on the I-5. I usually stop at "Fruta de Casa." (Yes, I know it's supposed to be Casa de Fruta but when you've been here as many times as I have, it's Fruta de Casa.) However, on this particular trip, my good friend, SP, who lives nearby, just happened to join me on my first BART of 2017. She mentioned wanting to stop & check out the avocados after seeing a few hand painted signs. (I had missed the last fruit stand prior to Cherry 152.) - "Sure, why not?! After all, nothing to lose expect a bit of time and a few dollars... 'And just say, I was right on both accounts. *BART - Bay Area Road Trip If you've ever driven on HWY 152, it's hard to miss the "Five avocados for $1," signs lining the side of the road. Really? Five avocados? What's wrong with them? Is there small print on the sign that you can't read traveling @ 60mph, "Five avocado SEEDS for $1?" I was intrigued. (Currently, COSTCO sells five for $6.99, a dollar more than their usual price due to the shortage of avocados from Mexico. At the end of 2016, a case was hovering @ $76; the highest it has been in thirty years.) So, I'll make a pitstop to see this "Ripley's Believe It Or Not," SIX avocados for $1, on a post about one mile before reaching the small, modest, roadside stand. (Not five but SIX!) Slow down, a mile goes by quickly. There were a couple of other cars @ the fruit stand which sits adjacent to a small enclosure with horses and lots of ground squirrels. (The dogs made sure to let us know that they too were intrigued.) Customer: Do you have any strawberries? Fruit guy: No... (In an almost, "Are you serious?," kind've tone.) Customer: Do you have any cherries? Fruit guy: No. (Deadpan) Let me this straight? You're big, bold banners stretched across the front of your fruit stand, proclaiming strawberries and cherries, you have none?... 'But you act insulted when someone asks? (Scratches head) What?! Now, if the customer asked for a large cheeseburger, small fries, and a diet soda, I'd understand. That's just ludicrous! I mean, who orders all that junk food & thinks a diet soda will offset the rest of the order?!! That's CRAZY!!!... 'But seriously, a fruit stand that doesn't have the fruit it's supposedly selling? (Sigh) Things did not look hopeful. "No fruit for you!" - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cherry-152-hollister?select=_WYIkNt9Kr561QMexB9MMQ I walked over to the front, maneuvered amongst the people browsing what goods Cherry 152 did have on hand and peered down into a small basket. What I can only describe as green, slightly bigger than large eggs, were the avocados that I can only presume were six for $1. Photo - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cherry-152-hollister?select=PClH2iwqPIElFUgAofi0sA Large haas avocados, now available in "Fun Size!" (The avocado measured about 2.75" in length; about a 1/2" larger than a large egg; actually closer in size to an extra large, AA egg.) Photo - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cherry-152-hollister?select=Ik1eAXxXwtOPVwWBjEQoyw I'm curious as to the size of the trees these was picked from and if it would be more appropriate to call it an "avocado bush" and these berries? I'd guess that three of these fun size avocados would be equivalent to a large standard one. Hey, they're only a buck, as mentioned before, "Why not?!" We also grabbed an $8 bag of garlic pistachios for the rest of the drive back to the OC. The pistachios were just okay. (Shrugs) Photo - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cherry-152-hollister?select=P83fMmlW5hmA4Kqk_kd0WQ *Fast forward four days later - This morning, the avocados seemed ready to eat; not too soft; a bit firm with a small amount of give. I grabbed a knife, sliced open one of the fun sized fruit and the party was over... 'Not very fun after all. Waste $$. Do not PASS GO, do not collect $200, go directly to the compost heap. Photo - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cherry-152-hollister?select=Wzs1PJEHanDyGmCVqm6SQg My generous, original three star rating quickly went to one. (Sound of balloon deflating) However, I am not completely without hope, there are a few stands that have gotten rather positive yelp*views on the Pacheco Pass Highway and I'd recommend trying those before considering this one. Overall rating: 1 1/2 stars (Rounding down) - Pau. (Hawaiian: Done) Food: 1+ (Plus for the garlic pistachios) Service: 2 Ambiance: 2 Value: 1 read more

This place was ridiculously expensive! We got 6 nectarines and 9 garlic bulbs for $17! They didn't allow to touch the fruit. You were only allowed to visually inspect it from a bowl. The overall selection was terrible. Don't stop! Keep driving! read more
