I don’t know where they hire the girls who work here. But they are ALWAYS fabulous!!! Sweet and very helpful. Best deal in town. Over a dollar less a box compared to the local grocery stores. Can’t beat their berries!!! The best bar none!

Wasonville, CA — Outside of town, in the countryside. — Closer to Highway 101. While the town of Watsonville is on Highway. — Local berries(NOT Year round) pick up during the summer months and can stay in season into October(dependent on weather). — Blueberries are always«imported» from outside the area as they are not capable to be harvested locally. — Gift shop is great(2 of the 3 stars) as there are some nice and unique Driscoll branded items. I’m sure a hard find elsewhere. — Pit stop to or from Gzidich Ranch or further down the road G.O.A.T. Corralitos Market. — Not interested going off the beaten path to this place as the strawberries we bought today were from Oxnard /Santa Maria area. Might as well save my time and go to the local grocer. — Disappointed that they are not forthcoming of the fact that berries are sourced from where ever the berries are in season. Sometimes Mexico — nothing wrong with that but it would be nice if they created a calendar to educate and inform the end consumer of what they are really buying(like a Tasting room maps out where they source grapes). Other than that make sure when you come you know what you’re buying or at least from where.

I love this place! They have the freshest berries in the area. They also have a great variety of berries. During the summer, they have the best prices on locally grown berries. Although Driscolls has a Watsonville address, it is really out in Aromas.

I really like that I can ask whoever is working which ‘berries are best today’ and I can get real answers. Last time I was there the woman working directed me toward the CA blueberries(they had WA, OR and CA blueberries in stock that day), the organic raspberries and the local blackberries. The selection is always different and I really appreciate having a knowledgable berry person on hand.

This store is the best! Fresh berries 7 days a week and lots of awesome Driscoll’s gear. Love all the berries and so do my friends and family!

I was excited to come visit Driscoll’s. Once we arrived I was sorely disappointed with how tiny the building was. I felt uncomfortable once inside with 4 girls working there just glaring at us as we glanced at products for sale. Prices weren’t as expected… thought they would have been better. Did buy a basket of strawberries and they were very good. Wish they’d make a bigger space to display the berries and the other promo items they have for sale. A few too many employees in there manning the shop just standing around doing nothing. I didn’t feel very welcome to be there really and couldn’t wait to leave. I also wish they’d have it where customers could go out to the field to pick their own berries. That’d be fun. Overall though I love Driscoll’s and the quality. Not sure I would go out of my way to come back here to buy fruit but if I was in the area I might or might not swing by to grab more.

Small store with flats of berries: strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry; organic and non-organic along with other Driscoll company wear and souvenirs. Imagine the surprise when told the blackberries were from Mexico… The quality of the fruit is very good but not superior. Pricewise it’s better than the local supermarket but not as cheap as Costco.

I am a berry addict so once a month or so I buy several flats. I bring them to parties, make salads, once I bought several and made pies for everyone I knew for the holidays. Yes, I admit it, I’m a berryaholic. Usually I have great experiences, once recently I had two flats that weren’t good(the manager kindly worked with me on this). They let me know they cannot take back berries that have left the store so I asked what I could do in the future to ensure this doesn’t happen. They said I could inspect each clamshell(ie. taste a berry from each one). I was there today, tasted and was happy with the lot. Picked up a couple raspberry containers too, seriously, their raspberries are magical… I know, I need to get out more:)

Best Berries EVER. Prices are much reasonable compared to the grocery store and the fruit is much fresher. Can’t go wrong here and the staff there is the best! Service is awesome and the berries here are available year round. I love the long stem Strawberries. Cant find those anywhere but here.

This place is great! It’s a little ways out there but they have some really great little souvenirs! You can buy berries there as well! They are super fresh and tasty as usual! If you are visiting Watsonville I suggest a little trip out there because its really cute and quaint.
