Arcangeli Grocery is located in a small country town called Pescadero. Pescadero, California? Where is that!?! Well it's "a beautiful coastal town two miles off Highway 1 between San Francisco and Santa Cruz." I was recently introduced to their bread at a dinner and then some good friends took my wife and I on a road trip to actually visit this place! Arcangeli Grocery is famous for their freshly baked artisan Italian and French style bread that they bake all day long! They also boast a deli that makes great sandwiches and pizzas. Quaint, unassuming grocery store with a lot of history and vintage pictures from the past. The cashiers and deli workers are all so friendly and helpful! They offer a few tables in front of the store but if you walk around to the backside of the building, they have a large picnic area with picnic tables where you can sit and enjoy the surroundings. They do have three port-a-potties also. I ordered the... #1 The Godfather (grilled): salami, mortadella, prosciutto, provolone, lettuce, onion, pepperoncinis & garlic-herb spread on pesto foccacia. My wife went with the BYO (Build Your Own) Sandwich. Hot Pastrami: soft roll bread, Muenster cheese, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, & mayo. Both sandwiches were piled high with meat and both equally delicious! The pickle was good too. Not too sour. I can see why people take roadtrips here and make a nice day out of enjoying the ocean, scenic views of the nice coastline, wildlife, etc. We brought home two loaves of artichoke herb garlic bread! If you are not local, they offer their breads online: https://www.goldbelly.com/restaurants/arcangeli-grocery They have been in business since 1929! Congrats to your longevity and continued success. Support your local business.

We like your partially baked breads and the godfather sandwich. also your jams and jellies. I don't think there is anything I don't like. Service is always good.

This little downtown doesn't have much, but what they have is worth a stop. There's a reason behind the hype on their artichoke garlic bread, was so good fresh! This little grocery store also has a deli, which we didn't get to try yet (perhaps another time), but there was a line during lunchtime, I bet it's a great spot for some sandwiches.

We stopped at Duarte's nearby and after a filling and delicious meal decided to take a walk before getting back in the car. We chanced upon this wonderful country grocery store in beautiful quaint "downtown" Pescadero. Calling this a grocery store is a bit of an understatement. They have a lot of goodies and have a deli and several unique items including artichoke garlic bread and ... giant cookies which I had to get. They were delicious! Wonderful friendly staff as well.

Excellent grocery store with a wide selection of food, wine, beer, pastries and more! Stopped by this place first as part of a larger planned trip down to Butano State Park. It was the perfect option for lunch! My order was a Chicken Club sandwich (add avocado) and a Pesto Chicken sandwich (also add avocado). Both sandwiches were grilled perfectly and they were generous with the avocado which was great. I also bought a mini strawberry rhubarb pie as well as a few Naked coconut waters and a flavor of Dirty potato chips that I hadn't tried before. The seating area out back has a couple of picnic tables and a small lawn and is a fantastic choice for those that want to enjoy their meal outdoors! Pricing was fair and I definitely feel like I got my money's worth. Service was also very quick and efficient -- I would estimate both sandwiches were done in somewhere around 15 minutes, which is impressive considering the medium-long line that they had. Do make sure to get the Garlic Artichoke Herb bread that they have as well -- it's baked fresh and was still hot when we got there.

Best deli sandwiches and of course their famous artichoke garlic herb bread! We always enjoy eating in their grassy pack patio area.

We were back after some years just to get away from the rush and hustle of the Bay and to spend time together. As usual, we were pleased by their thick, flavor and ingredient-picked, and huge sandwiches! We got the Chicken Club and Toasted Turkey Chipotle. The proteins, veggies, and sauces were all perfection. You can tell they've been doing this for a long time! Note that the market also has plenty of snacks, drinks, other food items, and souvenirs available.

I can only speak about their sourdough and (fully baked) artichoke bread. I am not familiar with artichoke. I've seen the fruit (apparently flower) but never had it. This was my first time having artichoke... bread. I thought it was great. It is crunchy-soft on the outside, tender inside, and there is some flavoring on the artichoke itself. If you get it warm, I think it is super worth getting. I ate it at the "park" behind the building, which was also swarming with cyclists and birds. It was truly a divine experience eating this bread while it is fresh. It is a big portion, so yeah unless you are breaking bread like Jesus during the last supper, or on that story where he split bread for a gazillion people, you won't be able to finish the bread. When serving this again at home, make sure to only warm the bread, do not toast it until it's crispy. Only then will you revive the fluffy interior. Same instructions for the sourdough. It was 4/5 stars, still pretty good but is significantly blander (duh!). Pro tip: get cheese from the goat shop and smother it on the sourdough or artichoke bread.

My favorite stop along the coast!! Passed along this legacy to my children! Thee best pies, breads and jarred goods! Friendly folks and well organized store. A MUST GO TO!
