    My 100th Review!! Very happy to have my 100th review be of the Fruit Bowl. I've been coming here for years. The Fruit Bowl is full of history and tradition has been in business for over 70 years, since 1945! The Luchetti family has gotta be doing something right. Specific things they do right are fresh fruit/vegetables, baked goods, preserves, and friendly/quick service. The fruit stand is nestled on the outside of their fruit orchards and HW 88. Lots of fresh local preserves and items that are pickled. Cherries, plums, peaches, watermelon, apples-you name it there's a good chance they grow it. The bake shop is right next to the fruit stand, and is in an enclosed separate room. The glass display case is full of delectable, same day baked items such as lemon bars, various cookies, fresh fruit turnovers/pies, Sue (carrot cake) Muffins, scones, coffee cake,and quiche. They make sandwiches, pizza topping on focaccia bread, gelato, and ciabatta bread. Simply all wonderful. The sell pies by the slice and whole. They usually have fresh baked pies cooling off and I automatically think of The Andy Griffith Show and Aunt Bea cooling off her fresh baked pies. Wholesome delights abound!! Call ahead to preorder whole pies. Love the Italian music playing, the picnic tables, the morning cyclists ‍ taking a pit stop, the location and the whole vibe. If you like eating great food from where your from like I do, you gotta visit the Fruit Bowl. It's a must bookmark and visit.

    I can't tell you enough how good this spot is! I've been coming here for years and years. And it keeps getting better. I always get something in the bakery. And also some produce. Always delicious!!!

    Fall produce starting to roll out

    Fall season is just around the corner, right? *sees that the upcoming weekly forecast is still hovering dry-heat 90s*......RIGHT?!?! Before leaving Stockton and heading back to Elk Grove I wanted to make a pit stop here. Cute little highway-side shop. Has a pretty good variety of produce that's locally grown. At the time of this review (mid-Sept.), fall season produce is beginning to appear here. The staff are super polite and friendly. I especially love the lady at the bakery counter; such a joy to talk to when asking about bakery item recommendations. The plum bar is a little overly sweet for me but the molasses cookie, a seasonal special, has an amazing slight chew to it and is bold in flavor (there's a notable ginger taste to it FYI). Definitely recommend stopping by here even if it's a little out of the way!

    Fruit bowl pie, their mixed fruit pie, told it included strawberries, blueberries, peaches, cherries, maybe others. Delicious!

    #1 ACCESSIBLE! Flat paved parking straight through to the entrance for people with wheelchairs/walkers/strollers. For reference I used a rollator walker no trouble inside, smooth flat surface, adequate space between aisles too. #2 Helpful friendly employees. I wondered out loud "what's in fruit bowl pie" and a nice older gentleman described it for me. Of course I picked up the last of the slices. It was excellent and I will likely purchase a whole pie for some occasion. Real fruit taste and chunks not fake "goo" like so many places. Nice neutral flavor crust with some sugar but not overly sweet. #3 Great variety and price of products. Were there cheaper cherries down the road? Yes but I picked a basket up for convenience sake and a whole bunch of other stuff. A pack of local ground beef was 8.50 which I thought was fair, and a pack of 2 flatiron steaks with a big $4 bundle Swiss chard and some things at home fed 3 adults a pretty nice grilled steak dinner under $5 each. We spent nearly $100 but bought meat that made dinner for 3 2x, lunch for 3 with desserts, and some fruit. The "bake shop" in the back is also a hidden gem! You might think it's a drink fridge but we bought 6 tamales (love that they offered them frozen as I'm on a diet where I freeze cooked meat products) and some cannolis to try, key lime and lemon. The cannoli were good but the shell texture did suffer a little as they were in the fridge. The key lime didn't have as much fresh zing as I'd expect but still super tasty. Tamales were excellent, mild chicken and green pepper flavorful without being hot spicy, went well with sour cream and salsa at home.

    The 200th... Located on East Waterloo Road before it turns into Hwy 88...this really is an awesome spot to grab some fresh and local produce and some delicious baked goods! We ventured in on Mother's Day to grab a bite for breakfast and left with the Southwestern quiche, a slice of apple strudel, some fresh cherries and blueberries and dried pineapple. If you're a quiche lover, this may be the best you'll ever have and they give you a really good sized portion. Or, you can also buy them whole. The apple strudel was to die for with a flaky crust, thinly sliced apples and an almond flavored layer that was divine. They also sell pies, cookies, a good selection of preserves, dried fruits and nuts. Although we took our treats to go, there are a few picnic tables set up outside so you can sit and eat your goodies in the fresh air. Enjoy and support local!!!

    Little sitting area near the bakery section.

    My favorite cherry stand by far!!! They have always had my favorite Rainier cherries all their…read morecherries are good and very friendly workers.

    Best cherries in Stockton or maybe Northern California. It's been a long time since I've had great…read morecherries. Not only does this orchard have great tasting cherries, they have great looking cherries as well. They do a great job in sorting the bad ones out and giving you the best grade cherry that they can give you. You can even see them sorting them out right in front of you. I have already bought 6 huge boxes of cherries here because they are that good. Not all for me of course, but because my family loved them as well. I had family from the Bay Area over for Memorial weekend for my brothers birthday and brought a box to the party and they pretty much begged me to go back because they wanted to buy a box because the ones they get out there don't taste good. I thought they would be closed around 5:30 but they were still open and said they usually close around 6. At first they couldn't fulfill the 4 boxes I was asking for, but they went out of their way and did it for me anyways. If you don't want to buy overpriced beat up cherries at the grocery stores or that nasty old looking cherries you see at the corner head out here and get some freshly picked cherries. If you don't know how to get out here just drive down Highway 88 toward Lockeford and they will be on the side with the gravel patch with plenty of room to park. Right between 8 Mile Rd. and HWY 99.
