I haven't been back here since COVID occurred, but I'm so happy to have come back here to…read moreexperience cherry picking again! I came here with family on a weekend, and due to the large crop bloom, there was a BOGO deal going on this year where if you buy 1 bucket, you get another bucket free! It 's always extremely hot whenever we come here as it would be usually in the summer months. I suggest being prepared because you walk up a small incline in between rows of cherry trees, so being hydrated is necessary. Parking and entrance is free, instructions are given by staff and they lead you to where to go to begin picking. General rules include no eating the cherries inside, no yanking cherries off of branches (leaving stems behind help them grow again), and for the BOGO deal, you must fill up an entire bucket. Now, it can be pricey because it's currently at $6.50 a lb (.50 cents increase compared to pre-covid) and I think a bucket can contain at LEAST 10-12 lbs. So you need to shell out at least $65 in order to do the BOGO deal for example. A staff actually said that a bucket might cost about $85 each when I asked. We didn't do the deal because that would be too much for our small family, so I think this is optimal for large groups! We ended up paying $48 for our bucket and we went our ways. Good for a quick hour. Too long and you may overheat from the heat! - bring own water, bottles sold onsite are $2 each - local honey is also sold - 2 lbs minimum for adult to purchase - overall fun and unique experience! - always double check dates and times, sometimes they close at 1/2pm!

Villa del Sol is a family-owned cherry farm and the largest one in the area. Came here with my…read moreboyfriend on a Friday morning to pick cherries and it wasn't too crowded. It's best to go on a weekday or around open on the weekend (7:00am) to avoid crowds. It gets hot during the day, so going early also helps to avoid the heat. The cherry trees do provide some shade though. Parking is free and easy to find. There is no entrance fee, but there is a $10 minimum per person. Cherries are priced at $6.50 per pound. You pay for the cherries at the end after you're done picking. The farm also sells honey that can be purchased when you pay for the cherries. The staff are kind and helpful. Upon arrival, we were given buckets for picking the cherries and given an explanation on where to go and what cherries are currently ripe for picking. Most of the cherries ready to pick at the time were Brooks and Rainiers. There were a few Bing cherry trees to pick from as well. The crop this year is top tier in quantity and quality due to the good weather. While we were picking cherries, there are staff members who walk around with hooks to help people access cherries that are out of reach. Shoutout to Ramon who helped us reach the ripest cherries on many Brooks and Rainier trees! We chatted with him about all things cherry and he told us about wrinkled cherries. These cherries are some of the sweetest ones due to the sun exposure and partial dehydration which result in a more concentrated flavor. We appreciate his insights and enjoyed his company while cherry picking. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Villa del Sol and give it 5/5 across all categories. Highly recommend to anyone who has not visited a cherry farm, picked cherries, or looking for a fun date idea. The cherries are so sweet and much better than the store-bought ones. We will definitely be back!

Cherry picking lasted only hours for all those people who picked a lot and did not leave too much for others. My share was couple of pounds. After an hour wait, there was not much to pick since the cherry season was sparse this year. The cherries were sweet! The people who worked there were so sweet. The other neighboring cherry farms were not even open to the public this year. It was fun anyway because it was like back to the way it was before the quarantine but everyone was wearing masks except a few just did not care about the rest of the crowd.

It's rare to find a place that feels this unique while still being so warm and welcoming. Can't wait to come back and see what's next on the menu.

The waiters and host were amazing, super kind and accommodating, and the service was perfect. The food was fresh, well-seasoned, and delicious.

The wait time was a little long, but the food matched the price. Parking was easy with a big lot. Not the most dairy-free-friendly spot, but I was able to take off most of the cheese. We'd definitely come back for brunch.

It's a little shop located in a strip mall with some tables and chairs inside and limited seating outside. Walked in and it seemed pretty quiet with just one other customer waiting for their orders. Customer service was just OK. Looked over their menu and decided to go with the turkey sandwich. Step one is picking your bread. They offer a variety of eight breads to choose from I went with whole wheat bread. Step two is picking your cheese and they have a variety of 16 cheeses to pick from I chose pepper jack. Step three is the condiments. I went with all and if there's anything you don't want, you can subtract it. The turkey sandwich I ordered was OK. They were very generous with the turkey. It came with all the vegetables and fixings, but I couldn't figure out what was giving it a salty taste. Should've went with a different selection of bread as the wheat bread was very, very dry and crumbly. Paired my turkey sandwich with jalapeño chips and a Coke.

Grab a wagon and load up because you won't know when to stop with some many great plants, deals on supplies and their inviting layout. As a small chain of garden centers meets plant nurseries I have to say this location stands out. Their online shop is easy also with get learning materials, newsletters , resources and even a plant library. I'll never forget my first trip here with my friend Sam, definitely need to hit her up again for a plant day, but absolutely still enjoy coming here with others and of course solo for some planty self-care. Adding some Elephant Bush (Portulacaria afra) friends to the plant family at home. Absolutely and 818/SFV/LA Valley favorite among many.
