    Flavor of almonds of the month
    Kimberly R.

    Blue diamond gift shop is such a gem and such a shame it will be closing in April 2026. This place is really a huge part of Sacramento's agricultural history! If you get a chance to stop by before it closes, please do! There is something for every body in this gift shop.

    I heard that they are closing the plant and store so I made a trip to check it out before they close. Luckily they do not except to close until around December 2025 according to the nice young lady working today. She was so helpful and offered me a taste of a blueberry flavor that was on special today. The blueberry flavor was delicious, crunchy and purple sugar covered almonds. The store was clean and well laid out. There was a large selection of flavors to choose from. I am happy I stopped by. Just remember they are closed on weekends. There is plenty of free parking in the lot too.

    Super Surprised How Awesome This Store Is! It doesn't look like much from the outside but once you walk in... you're like WOW! Look at all this stuff! Not all of it is Blue Diamond Almonds. They have all kinds of gifts, condiments, etc.... from honey to jams to oils to spreads to dry mixes to serving dishes and cutting boards, etc. I love almonds and it's one of my favorite snacks. I'm particularly fond of the wasabi Blue Diamond almonds. They also have seasonal flavors too like Snickerdoodle and Peppermint Cocoa almonds! And I found that they do single serve almond flour brownies in a cup. I naturally had to buy one. I have not yet tried it, so I need to do that soon. We ended up buying all sorts of random things. Plus, mom needed a gift for a friend, so we had one of the many gift baskets shipped home. This may be our Go-To Gift Basket present for when we send presents to fiends/family. We normally do Harry and David but that gets old after a while. You can order online too! If we lived in the area, we'd be here at least once a month to stock up on goodies. Probably good that we don't.

    I have to say, I am an almond fanatic. Whenever I'm needing to fuel myself up with a quick snack to help curb the appetite, eating almonds has always been a clean and healthy way to get me through the day. And living in Sacramento, we are very fortunate to have a well-known local company in "Blue Diamond". Amazingly, this company has been in Sacramento for over a century (founded in 1910) and has been the leader almond distributor throughout North America. The headquarters is located in downtown Sacramento at 17th and C St's. Usually when I ride my bike alongside the nearby American River Bike Trail, I can smell the almonds roasting from the factory much like warm pancakes. The scent is absolutely heavenly. Hours of operation are Mon-Fri from 9:30am to 5pm and Saturday from 9:30am to 4pm. Parking here is easily accessible as there is an abundant amount of parking spots on any given day that lead directly into the spacious nut and gift shop area. Once entering, there is a seating area to the right when they provide tours at certain times of the day. And if you go to the left, you are then taken to almond heaven as the gift shop has an absolutely endless amount of choices to pick from. All of the almond samplings here are FREE and what I like about it, the employees here encourage you to try as many different almonds as you like! Some of my personal favorite flavors are the "Smokehouse", "Dark Chocolate", and "Honey Dijon". However, they offer more than 25 different flavors that I'm sure would cater to anyone and everyone. They also offer an assortment of different packaging that ranges from the small cans to the large 1-lb bags. Additionally, they offer many different gift sets as well. And if eating almonds is not your thing, "Blue Diamond" also offers many different alternatives to choose from. They offer a variety of their popular "Almond Breeze" almond milk (in vanilla, chocolate, and other flavors) as well as their "Nut-Thins" snack crackers that come in many different flavors. I usually always pick up a box of these since they're harder to find at my local supermarket. One major reason why I come here is that their prices are at least a few dollars less than buying it at the grocery store. I usually come here on an average of at least once a month to stock up on my beloved almonds. And at times, they offer "damaged packaging" and "products nearing expiration" specials for only $1.00! All of these products might have a minor dent or rip in the box but anywhere from 50-75% off the regular price! Also, the customer service has been top-notch as I wanted to give a shout-out a employee Keren for recommending several products that I have not tried before, primarily the Elote-flavored almonds. Overall, I will continue to support "Blue Diamond Growers" as my go-to place for smart and healthy eating. It has been a frequent business that I have come to for years and will be for many years to come. For those of you who may not live close to this particular factory, "Blue Diamond" also has a nut and gift shop located in Chico and Modesto. They also have a large online store where they will ship their products throughout the continental United States. So thank you "Blue Diamond" and keep up the good work!

    Super cute little gift shop with a lot of variety of Blue Diamond almonds snacks. There are several flavors that I do not have in my back of the woods. They also have a movie playing about how the plant works. The bathrooms are clean too.

    Cool little gift shop with all the assortments the Blue Diamond brand offers. They also sell other products from jerky, dressings, and Knick knacks from other brands. Clean and organized and fair prices.

    Olive oil, tapenade, and serving plate.
    Karen P.

    There was a video playing in the lobby in lieu of a tour of the facilities. Lots of unique almond products and almonds of various flavors in the little shop. The shop also had other fun items like olive oil, tapenade, serving dishes, cooking utensils, and I Love You California souvenirs for sale. The items did not seem to be discounted.

    Must taste this!
    Paulette C.

    Every time I visit my son, I have to stop here. When you open the doors to the entrance and see a flatbed, go check out that merchandise. You can get GREAT items at a huge markdown. They have 6 oz. cans of almonds of the week at a discount price as well. I often buy unique gifts for my friends and family at this location. I bought a huge bag with various Blue Diamond items for only $32!

It is a very casual setup, so do not expect an elevated dining experience. We ordered the FOB shrimp and the Chicken Katsu plate. The shrimp arrived a bit too sour and noticeably greasy for my taste. The Chicken Katsu was average and lacked the flavor and crispness I was hoping for. The macaroni and cheese that came with it was also quite dry, which made the plate feel incomplete. Service is minimal since you order at the counter and pick up your food yourself. I went in with high expectations and left feeling disappointed, especially considering how popular the place seems to be. That said, I am still open to giving it another try. There are a few other dishes on the menu that look promising, and I hope they will deliver a better impression on my next visit.

Honestly, I'm so…read moresad it's been so long since my last visit, because this place serves up some amazing food. The menu changes depending on what they're making, but they have certain items that are pretty consistent. One of those is poke. I LOVE their poke here, they have their own seasoned poke mix with fresh fish, veggies and sauce and it is delicious. They offer it as nachos, a bowl, or loaded fries and while I'm tempted to try some of the other options the bowl is my go-to. The poke bowl is $15 and comes with rice with furikake as well as a good portion of poke. Like I mentioned, it's preseasoned and it delicious. The ingredients are fresh and I love their flavor combination. I would love if the bowl came with a scoop of mac salad, but with the portion at this price I'm happy to add it as a side. I ordered the spring rolls ($4) and it came with five pieces of crispy and flavorful fried spring rolls. Great value for the price. I also ordered the pork laulau ($14) and Musubi ($3) for my husband and the portions on these were also great. The musubi was hot and flavorful and they gave me some FOB sauce with the musubi that went surprising well together. The laulau plate had mac salad, rice, and the wrapped pork. The pork was fattier than some of the laulau I've had in Hawaii, but was flavorful and the whole plate was a perfect portion for the price. The team working here was very friendly and helped me get in and out with my to-go order pretty quickly. The food was packed with care and made it home and was still nice and hot after the drive. They use high quality to-go containers and line them with aluminum foil which is a nice touch. They also made sure the vents were open on the spring rolls so they'd stay crispy. They have plenty of seating inside, as well as some outdoor seating. This restaurant is a bit tucked away, but has plenty of parking. I will definitely be back, and I won't wait as long between visits, because the food is so good! Check out their instagram for specials.

The place was pretty busy when I got there. I waited in line to pay for my order since I called it in already. I waited 10-15 mins more for my sandwich order. I thought my order would be ready by the time I arrived. It has been at least 1/2 hr. since I placed my order. The staff are nice and friendly. I ordered seasonal turkey sandwich, since they were out of the prime rib sandwich. The turkey sandwich was really good. The sandwich was neatly wrapped in parchment paper. Everything was fresh. The sandwich was made well. It was neatly stacked, and everything was held in place. The bread was nicely toasted. Nothing was out of place. I really appreciate how much care they put into my sandwich. With some of the other sandwich shops, the ingredients are not slopped on, and everything looks sloppy when you get your order. My sandwich tasted really good. Everything in the sandwich went well together. All of the flavors meshed well together. My co-worker really enjoyed her sandwich also. She ordered the Reuben. I would come again. I really enjoyed my sandwich.
