Oh my! What a find! This is going to become a regular stop for us anytime we go to or through Sacramento. This was the other day and I already have asked Hubby when does he need to go back to Sac? LOL There isn’t an actual tour or anything, but there is a video you can request them in the store to start for you. We watched it and learned quite a bit. Inside the gift and nut shop are samples and about everything you can imagine in almonds. They have SO many flavors of almonds in the cans for about $ 2.50 and in gift sets or other sizes, too. They also have the Nut Thins in more flavors than I have ever seen at the stores and their almond milk that does not need refrigerated before opening. I highly recommend stopping here and checking it out. You might become a regular, too!

If you’re looking for gifts for out of towners, hostess gifts, whatever gifts, or just something for yourself, check out the blue diamond gifts store ! I only found out a few weeks ago that a gift shop even existed attached to their factory off of C street. The gift shop is sparsely decorated and quite plain. However you will find every variety of almonds, almond milk, chocolate covered almonds, almond flour, and then some ! You can create your very own personalized gifts with the boxes and baskets they have on hand. Prices were maybe just a bit lower or the same as you would find at other stores, but you won’t quite find all the variety they have here. I ended up buying some honey almond milk and a big olé bag of dark chocolate almonds at an amazing price !

I love almonds and I noticed there was a store connected the the blue diamond almond factory so I thought I would check it out. The nut and gift shop is great! They have samples of all of their flavors so you can taste newer flavors or flavors you may be unsure if you’d like. My favorite are smokehouse so i got a large bag at a great price and they were so fresh and crunchy! They also had close out on a pumpkin spice flavor for ½ price so I scooped some of those up also. If you are just visiting or a sacramento native take a trip to the nut and gift shop and taste some of the best California has to offer!

If you love almond anything, this is the place for you! You’ll be right at the source. This is the factory location store. Its super cool to see the factory beyond the gates. When you walk into the lobby, there is seating and an ongoing video that describes the growing and canning process. You can hang out and watch the film if you desire, It really is the epitome of California agriculture. Pretty awesome stuff. The cool«nut store» has a wide variety of everything almond. Most everything they carry is the Blue Diamond brand, packaged next door in the factory. They carry a few dressings and sauces that are a nice addition to anything you may want to pick up. You’ll find almond milk in a variety of flavors, almond meal, and almonds… an amazing amount of almonds! There are different package sizes to even choose from. When was the last time you were able to sample something before buying it? Here you can help yourself to samples of any of the amazing flavors of almonds; from regular roasted & salted, seasonal flavors, sweet & savory, to some amazing spicy flavors. The salted caramel and honey roasted chipotle are rockin flavors. Try my personal favorite, the wasabi & soy sauce. You’ll swear that you’re eating sushi. Just YUM!!! They are open 9:30 am — 5 pm monday — friday and they are open until 4 on saturdays. If you’re looking for a bonus in shopping, pop in on Saturdays. This is when they bring out the damaged packages. Its great if you’re planning an event and can use whatever they may have on discount that day. Ive found some killer deals that way. Stop on by and enjoy!
