Arcangeli Grocery Co.

Visit This Tiny California Town for the Goat Farm and Grocery

"Opened in 1929 by an Italian immigrant, Arcangeli is famed for one main thing: artichoke bread. Filled with whole artichoke quarters, topped with a buttery garlic herb mix with a crispy crust, it’s baked continuously all day long at the bakery. The family’s fifth generation, Chris Benedetti, now runs Arcangeli Grocery Company, which bakes many other breads and sells a big line of the family’s specialty foods, from spreads to pasta sauces and mustards. Other local farm products are available, including honey, olallieberry jam, and wines. Sandwiches from the deli can be eaten behind the store by Pescadero Creek." - Sharon McDonnell
