What an amazing experience! There is clear signage when you enter the store on where to go and where to park. The store is clean and modern and there is ample parking. When you get inside you are greeted by friendly staff. The store itself has some clothing merchandise and a mini museum of Martinelli’s history including pictures and old apple presses. They have a free tasting of their various products. This is a great way to decide what you want to buy. It would be cool if they sold juice by the glass (they might, not sure). I would highly recommend the apple-mango...so good! You can mix and match 6 of the larger bottles for $18. Or buy single flavors in cases. No individual bottles sold :(. Both chilled and room temp is available. Great place to buy juice at cost. The whole staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I can’t wait to come back!
4. Corralitos Market and Sausage Co
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 26 reviews
Reviewed By danrF4292ZE - Morgan Hill, United States
We stopped in to pick up some of their great sausage from their fantastic old fashion meat selection. We did pick up some smoked German sausage, but also picked up a couple of per-seasoned rib steaks. They have a nice selection of local wines as well and some Gizdich pies. We also asked for pricing on their wild game processing. They shared a price list that started with a minimum of $175. Examples of other rates for the wild game: $2.50 bulk sausage, jerky $6/lb.
5. Annieglass

A visually thrilling shopping experience, offering handmade glass dinnerware and serveware, artistic home decor, and jewelry. Our company store is located in Watsonville, chock-full of Annieglass, including studio seconds with impossible to notice flaws. This is the go-to place for wedding gifts, the hard-to-shop for, and the "creatives" on your list.
