Those looking for a friendly little farmers market this is your place. From pluots to sourdough…read morebread to fresh farmers vegetables this is a little place, local to the town. And a special SHOUT OUT to the young man at the PLUOTS. And I apologize, I even repeated your name when I said thank you, but I'm a lady in my 50s and it's shot out of my head. This young man helped me find the right pluots, when I explained what I was looking for. AND this next part may sound trivial, but it's not. My total was $5.38 (I think). As I handed the young man a $20, I went looking for a dollar so he could give me $15 and change, thinking they probably run out of dollar bills. And as I went for the dollar, this young man asked me if I could give him a dollar. WHAT!?! He knew that if I gave him $21 he could give me a $10, $5 and some change! Again, I say, this may seem trivial, but everywhere we go, young adults do not know this! Making change is like a new language to them. If they punch it into a computer before you've given your change, it confuses them. Sad, but 99% often the truth. And this young man renewed my faith, not just in the young people of today, but the parenting of our young people. THANK YOU!!

Beautiful clean beaches and upscale shopping areas with cottage designed shops and secret pathways. They have upscale bakeries as well as fine dining options. I also went to the Mission but it was unfortunately closed. The vibe of this small town is very nice and positive. Must recommend!

This time around we picked up some berries that didn't disappoint. They have a lot to offer and some stands have long lines (I assume that's a good sign). What I love...no dogs allowed in the market, it makes the ambiance more pleasing (for me personally). Worth a stop for sure. The only downside...no coffee dealers but then again, I go to ACME in seaside for the best coffee in the area.

Ambiance - it's at the Del Monte Shopping Center parking lot. A mall. The only mall for miles and miles. (Carmel doesn't count. Maybe Seaside/Sand City is getting bigger and Salinas is a world apart) There are others such as the one in downtown Monterey à la Alvarado Street but this looks to be the one in the mall parking lot. Luckily this mall isn't full the majority of the time (if ever?) because the parking lot is enormous and provides enough space for vendors. Little pricey for a farmers market. However, I did end up purchasing some salmon fresh off the boat, brought it home and cooked it that evening. ~$30 per pound so like I said, a little pricey. But dang it was good. The "Del Monte Market" location and the "Monterey" market are the same place according to the website. The parking lot of the mall. Who knows...

We stopped by the Carmel Valley Farmer's Market and were excited to see the produce stands. I…read morestumbled upon the Cheese Wiz and of course had to try the specialty imported cheese. The vendor was so kind in giving us a variety of cheeses to try and we were too tempted not to get anything. We picked up 1/2 lb each of the raclette and truffle gouda. The cheese is on the pricier side but loved the flavors and the truffle gouda is one of the best truffle cheese I've had! So excited to eat the raclette on a baguette and make some fancy mac & cheese with the truffle gouda. The food trucks are great as well (definitely get Big Sur Taco) and overall just such a nice stop if you're in the area on a Sunday!

It's very busy, but there's lots of parking the Safeway center has several other restaurants there that are very busy on Sunday mornings too. We went on the day after the Fourth of July and unfortunately, most of the food trucks were not there. There was about five rows of stands a mixture of local homemade arts and crafts and jewelry, lots of beautiful produce, and lots of different snack foods. There is an amazing array of cinnamon rolls with different toppings. Bagels, cookies, coffee and there was one food truck that sold empanadas, etc. They looked really good and had a large variety. The highlight for me was the cheese whiz lady. She had about 15 different cheeses and she's very generous with allowing you to sample before you buy. It is a little pricey about $15 a quarter pound but the cheeses were so unique and unusual and tasted so good. I didn't mind spending the $45 for three different pieces. I got the three-year aged Gouda, which has a very flavorful caramel burst on the tongue and a delicious nutty aftertaste. I also got the blue cheese from New Zealand and Tanzania and had a very unique sharp, but smooth flavor and was a great addition to any food that I put it on. It crumbled easily and added a musky power burst to every bite. I also got an unusual Swiss cheese called Chällerhocker which has a pale, ivory interior with small holes and a thin, brine-washed rind. Its flavor profile is nutty, sweet, and slightly tangy, with hints of brown butter and caramel. It goes from Sweet to musky and then has a delicious aftertaste.

Yesterday I enjoyed possibly the best fish taco I've ever had, at Dave's Oyster Shak & Grill. I ordered the pan seared tilapia taco; $2.75, and it was loaded with moist fish tasting somewhat Cajun. A few veggies & some sauce and I was back from the shopping-in-Sand City-but-didn't-find-a-damn-thing-I was-looking-for blues. The large, juicy, delicious, free strawberry I sampled was the icing on the cake. And BTW--the Tricycle pizza is excellent. Note: I also buy my eggs at this market--from Bigham's free range, from Prunedale--and the organic produce is nice to have access to (yesterday I found a nice, big cauliflower & some small potatoes to my liking). Postscript: Sadly, Dave's Oyster Shak (yes--that's how it was spelled) no longer has a booth here.
