Roberts Ferry Gourmet - Waterford

The almond trees were in full bloom and Roberts restaurant was busy but still managed to be enjoyable and efficient. Unfortunately, my almond butter milkshake was a bit underwhelming compared to what I remembered from last year. I'm not sure if the recipe had changed or if my taste buds had changed. I'll have to give it another try next year because it's too good to pass up.

This restaurant was recommended as a must-visit during the almond blossom tour in the Central Valley. Although it is a bit further away from other stops near Modesto, the scenic drive through roadside orchards makes it worth the trip. The Waterford location not only has a country store, but also hillsides full of almond blossoms and a designated walking path through the orchards. From their lot, you can even see the snow-capped Sierras in the distance. It's a great place to stretch your legs and take close-up photos of the orchards. The country store is well-stocked with almond products, honey, souvenirs, and food for sale. There are picnic tables outside where you can enjoy your treats. The almond trees typically bloom between mid-February and early March, so make sure to visit during that time. I bought some pumpkin spice almonds, dark chocolate walnuts, and local honey and was very pleased with my treats. The main parking lot by the shop is small, but there is additional parking across the street. Roberts is now my number one stop on the 2024 Almond Blossom tour!

It was such a pleasure working with Nic and Kim. Our company have done multiple custom orders with Roberts Ferry Gourmet and every time they have gone above and beyond. They're products and customer service deserves 10 stars!

I needed to pick up just a couple of things for gifts to have on hand. When you make a purchase and return within 2 weeks with your receipt, you get a 10% discount, so now was the time. The store has been completely rearranged in Waterford, and while it was just a matter of moving shelves and tables around, it completely changes the environment in the store. I can hardly wait to see the Christmas things. The staff welcomed us as soon as we walked in and even knew what milkshakes we usually get. It's kind of like visiting family when we go there. I can't recommend it enough, and it's just a short drive from Turlock, less than 30 minutes. If you haven't been, you need to go by and treat yourself.

This place has the best ice cream and shakes!! We stop every time we go riding at La Grange. ???
