The Choke Coach - CASTROVILLE

Fantastic farmhouse with fresh products, including farm fresh artichokes, as well as gourmet corners, hot sauces and other items. Very friendly staff! Outdoor seating area with family-friendly games and a friend Artichoke. Food trucks outside.

This is a great rest stop on your travels on HWY 1. It is also a fun destination for families and people who love artichokes! It is a shop of the Pezzini family. They have seats outside and sell food. The local cakes are delicious a must try if you are not one of their cakes. They carry a selection of jams, spreads, spices, pastries, breads, local products and natural varieties of artichokes. There's nothing better than a mature artichoke. They sell gifts and for those looking for souvenirs. There is a food truck The Choke Truck on the property selling deep fried artichokes and other artichokes delicacies.

From here on a family trip to Monterey. We all loved this place. Great fried artichokes from the food truck. I had the tacos that were great. Many good products too. A perfect stop.

Directly on Route 1, a stop at Pezzini is the perfect way to take a break from the road and relax. The market offers wonderful local products and specialties. Try the artichoke soup or the artichoke items from the food truck for a delicious and comfortable lunch.

Excellent place to shop for locally grown fruit and veggies. Much better than going to a supermarket. The strawberries and nectarines were sweet. They also have a lot of jams and preserves. And don't forget the artichokes. Raw or preserved or in sauces. And they also have a good truck if you are looking for a quick bite.
