    1 flat per person - 3/1/25
    Denise S.

    I've been to Glaum periodically throughout the last few years. They use to have the large eggs in the vending machine but must've been because of the bird flu I'm assuming it is now the medium eggs...which still isn't bad for $4 but you use to be able to get 18 and at one point 24 eggs. Either way still cool. For now it's just 1 flat per person & I believe inside it was 2 dozen per person? I could be wrong. But it is labeled. Inside you can purchase more eggs and different sizes and colors. The people inside aren't generally the nicest at all times but it's whatever. Good eggs for a good price and can make do with the not so great customer service. The barn is pretty spacious and carry a variety of items: seasoning, meat, candles, egg containers, clothing, etc.

    Glaum Ranch Egg Vending Machine - super fun but cash only and very sensitive. Bring new $1 bills

    The cheapest eggs in the county - and they come with a floor show! If you want to buy eggs from the machine make sure to bring new $1 bills. It's cash only. (But the ranch also has a store that takes cards and less-pristine currency.

    We stopped by Glaum Egg Ranch on a Saturday afternoon. The place was empty, easy to park right in front of the egg vending machine (which closes at 6pm on Saturdays). No people in sight, but there were a lot of deer in the area, just walking around us, minding their own business... we loved it! We brought a couple of empty egg cartons, since we knew they provide a bottom egg tray without any cover. A couple of our dollar bills got rejected, but eventually the machine took 4 of them. We got 16 eggs for $4 (there's a sign explaining the rise in prices, as it used to be 18 eggs for that same price). We enjoyed the show (which still had Halloween decor in November), and it was longer than I expected, but fun and cute. Best part, we made omelets for breakfast a couple days later, and the eggs were delicious! :)

    Eggcellently priced eggs! I definitely come here for the egg vending machine. Today was the first time I came when they were open. They have a tiny shop with different local honey, spices, jams, and candy.

    They have a lot of interesting $#!+ at this store:)

    Fun little diversion when you're down in Aptos. The draw here is the egg vending machine, which mercifully does not disgorge the eggs down a chute one by one (although that would have been more fun, right?). For $4 you get 18 farm-fresh eggs in a tray, and then you are regaled by a mini-animatronic show in the window nearby. Good entertainment for kids and adults alike. I'd recommend bringing empty containers to take your eggs home, as the trays would be a little awkward to carry home. There's also a little gift shop with the typical variety of things you'd expect at a place like this - locally-produced granola and honey, various knickknacks, etc. Prices are about on par with other similar places. Still, this place is a quirky curiosity that fits the character of the Santa Cruz area.

    Glaum Ranch Eggs was a cool discovery while cruising in the hills above Aptos near Freedom Blvd one weekend. Glaum is the brand we've being buying for years anyway, seeking their eggs at local grocery and specialty foods like New Leaf Community Markets. I have to write this review sooner than I had planned, because my tips posted on the spot wouldn't stick to the board - they don't show on the listing despite my best efforts. It's no use to collect likes from my friends on my feed without anybody else seeing the posts. I've heard of similar vendors in secluded countryside locations in Germany, but haven't seen one myself when traveling back there, until now - and at home, of all places! You see, there is a cool vending machine dispersing eggs in exchange for your four crispy dollar bills. No credit cards needed, nor are they accepted, and best of all, for you geeks out there, no human interaction required. Even though The Barn closes early at 2pm on Saturdays, you can still purchase the eggs from the vending machine until 8pm. Now, I call that convenience! My friend has said she'd go as far as to call it hot, but that would make for all hard boiled eggs (credit to Alicia). I love the concept of vending machine for eggs both amusing and reminiscent of the dot.com era of early 2000s, when eggs.com by mail killed all other tangible startups in one and the same bursting high tech bubble. This is the next closest thing to it that actually works (smile). Live and learn.

    Sorry, the rest is a surprise.

    Great price on fresh eggs. Staff super friendly. Sometimes tiny eggs are available from young hens which are good hardboiled egg snack size.

    The eggs are always fresh and reasonably priced. There was a line when we arrived but it moved fairly quickly.

    The grilled cheese was perfection. The bread was grilled very nicely and the cheese was high…read morequality and the addition of bacon was yummy. I also enjoyed the little pickles they added and the super yummy jam. It was a great combo of sweet and savory.

    Found across from the capitola mall, this shop specializes in esoteric and uncommon cheeses from…read morearound the world. Staff is friendly, offers samples. I got a Swiss cheese that I had not heard of but tasted good so got some. Inside is small, they have a fridge with smaller portions for charcuterie which is nice. I do feel like because this is such a specialized cheese shop with a lot of cheese people have never heard of, it might be good to have them organized by origin and then give a three word flavor profile or something since not everyone knows everything about cheese but definitely likes cheese. Also, there didn't seem to be a lot of common cheeses that would bring in a lot more traffic and let people discover the really good cheeses here. I would definitely come here for more than just the occasional pricey cheese board cheese if they consistently had high quality imported ricotta for baking, pecorino romano DOP, Parmesano Romano DOP, mozzarella, and other Italian cheeses that are difficult to find in the quality necessary to make the dishes authentically. Would help save trips to a place like Eataly for those items.
