Cool Stop on California’s Highway 101

If you are traveling on Highway 101 through the Monterey area and want a taste of the Central Coast, Pezzini’s is a great place to stop. It is easy to reach from the highway and return on your journey. This market offers ready made artichoke and other local produce treats.

On the day I stopped there was also a food truck offering hot food.

You can also step out into the fields surrounding Pezzini’s to get a closer look at how artichokes and brussel sprouts grow.

On this day I bought an artichoke cupcake. I’m happy to report that it was very yummy!

Artichoke cupcake, yum, yum, yum.

Pezzini’s offers a unique tasting and shopping experience. I’m going to add it to my things to do when I go to the Monterey Peninsula with the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Gianni’s Pizza.
