Fun little spot to stop at off of Hwy 5. It is more gift shop than cafe with olives, olive oil,…read moreolive themed gifts and other items such as wines, preserves, chocolates. There are even various balsamic vinegar and olive oil shakes! There is a tasting bar inside where you can sample various olives, but not all of the ones that they sell here. I love olives and usually stop by here if I have drive up north. On the way up to Oregon I picked up a jar of local olives stuffed with almonds. Daughter bought two jars of olives - one was spicy, too spicy for me! She promptly dropped her jar of olives because she was so excited to try them when we were visiting one of the volcanic parks and was so sad as it broke in the parking lot. So I offered to buy her another jar on the drive back home. Visit #2, I grabbed the replacement jar of spicy olives and then realized that I also "needed" some martini olives. I'm not a ritual martini maker, I mean, if I'm out and about, it is my drink of choice, but at home, I don't make them. I suppose now that I have a jar of large, beautiful martini olives I'll have to start drinking martinis at home. This is where you would come by for gifts. Even if someone doesn't like olives (how dare they!) there is something for everyone here.

We have been purchasing the flavored olive oils for many many years. They are truly delicious. You…read morewon't need anything else but one of the flavored olive oils on your salad. I find that I crave eating salad and fresh raw veggies since we discovered this company 30 years ago and I am pleased to say I am in very good health. The olive oil is so much more fresh than that available anywhere else. If you visit them and sample the oils your senses will tell you not to walk away without a bottle or two. Words are insufficient to explain, you'll just have to try some. You may find yourself saying, as my uncle Norman said upon tasting it, "that's lovely".

Bought a bottle ($5.99) once in 2008 and hadn't been able to find them since until a few weeks ago…read more The oil is very different than most extra virgin olive oils. It has a yellow color and this earthy/grassy flavor. I've tried various olive oils and can't find anything quite like it. I bought a couple of bottles upon their return, although the price had gone up. The corked bottle was also replaced with a screw top. My wife was asking me to see if they had returned, as I didn't notice them for months. The last batch seemed to be a bit cloudy, but the taste/smell was the same as I remembered. It's been sitting in my cabinet for a few weeks, and the cloudiness seems to be reduced, although there's some sediment at the bottom now. My wife and I talked to the owner, and when he has stock he has a table at the Kensington Farmer's Market about every other Sunday. Apparently the owner has the farm in Orland, but he lives in El Cerrito. I couldn't figure out how anyone could make money selling a few dozen bottles of olive oil by driving out 150 miles each trip. He must just bring over a large quantity of the bottles and then sells a few of them at the market on a particular Sunday.

He's back! His name is Dennis Town. I saw him today at the Kensington farmer's market. I think…read morehe was a little embarrassed by my enthusiastic response to his return. He told me he hadn't been there for 7 months because he'd run out of olive oil. He has a new batch. It's $9.99 for a 500 ML bottle, still a bargain. I got his card, so I can update his contact information.

Not only is there an Italian restaurant and a pizza/sports bar area, there's a deli, gift shop, and gelato/coffee bar! In the gift shop you can buy delicious baked goods, jams, honey, all kinds of things! We bought a pre-baked pie called "fruit of the forest" which we had the next day at home, it was delicious!! As far as our meal, we ate at the Italian restaurant. We started with the Blue Cheese Bruschetta, which was amazing! My entree was the country fried steak, with mashed potatoes and a house salad. The steak was so tender, no knife needed, and it and the potatoes were covered in delicious gravy! That being said though, the menu does not say that the gravy is full of mushrooms, so if you're not a mushroom fan, you may want to skip this dish. My spouse had the Muffuletta sandwich which was featured on Triple D! He said it was great but you really need to love olives because the olive spread was very heavy on the sandwich. I am looking forward to going back to Granzella's very soon!!
