Vlahos Orchards Fruit Market

$ 2.73 for one peach? No f’in way. Listening to one of the male cashiers sexually harassing and winking at every female he literally checks out? 1-​star Unilocal review is your penalty.

As my friend and I were strolling through Pier 39 tonight, we saw this gorgeous stand of fresh fruit in the distance and couldn’t resist stopping by! I purchased some peaches and dried apples to snack on in my hotel room. The peaches are SO sweet and juicy! They even have a sink right there if you want to purchase a piece of fruit and eat it as you walk on the pier! They also had a delicious assortment of nuts, dried fruit & trail mix!
In my opinion, fresh fruit is so much better than the fried stands full of churros, corn dogs & soft pretzels {…they are literally everywhere on the pier!}
The only kicker is that the fruit here is pretty pricey. For two {large} peaches, it was $ 5! But hey, they’re healthy so I’ll take what I can get!

The strawberry redefined what I thought strawberry used to be. It was way more than delicious…

I love this fruit stand yes they are very pricey but me and my friends did a test we bought cherries at Vlahos and at safeway. Vlahos were double the size and much sweeter. Honestly I don’t mind paying more for quality. I got like 3.3lbs of cherries and it was $ 36. At Olsen’s in sunnyvale its 30 for 2lbs, and Vlahos is much better.
And another reason some of the reviews aren’t great is because you’re not going to find good cherries in winter.

Ok, first, this stuff is way overpriced. I mean, ok, I get it. People spending tourist money aren’t going to really discern on prices — especially foreigners. However, as a guy who recognizes when prices exceed even that of Whole Foods, you guys are effed off of your gourd.
$ 4.99 for a pound of cherries? Yeah, right. Oh, and they’re sticky as hell so I have to wash them in a sink next to the register after I pay? Umm…
Top that off with a rather rude cashier who said, «EXCUSE ME!!!» and muscled past me, without anything in her hands nor any pitchfork bearing crowds demanding immediate service, my overall assessment is: MEH.

While the prices were CRAZY tourist level, they were some of the BEST strawberries I’ve EVERY tasted. Melt in your mouth.
Cashier was a little annoyed that I asked her to remove 5 of them from the bag when 9 berries came up to $ 11… Uh, I ended up getting 4 huge, DELICIOUS strawberries for $ 4. They were worth every penny. Maybe I just picked right.

Absolutely LOVE this fruit market! All the fruit tastes great and the berries are HUGE! I live in Stockton so I rarely get to go but when I do I want to buy it all!

BOMB. CHERRY-​BOMBS!!!
They have the plumpest juiciest freshest big round rainier cherries I’ve ever eaten, cost about $ 18 for half a bag but it was soooo worth it!!!
My Bf got himself some nectarine peaches, they were HUGE! Like the size of a baseball!
We couldnt believe we spent $ 25 on some fruits. Damn, it was the BEST!
Splurge on their fruits, one time or two wont hurt!

WAY over priced and tasteless fruit! At least that was our experience when we tried them last Sunday. Even the organic peach which we paid $ 2.72 for (and that was for ONE) was mushy and had no flavor!
Never again… you get better fruit overall at Safeway!

Arrgghh!!! Everytime I walk past this stall on Pier 39, I go into full tourist mode and my Chinese VFM (value for money) gene gets switched off!!!
The sight of the luscious juicy fruit is too much for me to resist and I end up spending a silly amount of money here. They are quite sneaky in not letting you weigh the fruit to get an idea how much it will cost until you get to the counter to pay
I need to get some blinkers before I come back here!

Right smack dab in the middle of over-​priced, tourist-​oriented food at Fisherman’s Wharf lies Vlaho’s Orchards, a healthy, if a little more spendier than places. They have a nice selection of fruit (apples are coming into season. try the Gravensteins!) and veggies under an open air awning. Looking for a little something healthy before tackling a sourdough bowl of chowder? Stop by here!

Very expensive fruit, as mentioned by a previous reviewer, but the selection and quality of the fruit was great. We walked through here on our way into Pier 39 and picked up some strawberries, two types of cherries, and some nuts. All were really tasty, so after we made our way back out of Pier 39, we grabbed some more snacks for the next day.
While I wouldn’t do my grocery shopping here anytime soon (the price would bankrupt you fast), it’s a good place to pick up a few healthy snacks for your day on the pier or the surrounding areas.

Expensive!
But good.
We picked up some cherries because they were huuuuuge and looked sweet. They have prepacked 1 pound bags, but at $ 7.95/lb, you’re better off getting the right amount for you. The strawberries looked crappy, but that’s just because it was the end of the day. There’s dried fruits and popcorn also.
And you wouldn’t believe the cheapskate tourists sampling every fruit like it was some buffet.
