C.J. Olson Cherries

Those cherries are soooo delicious! Not too sweet, a hint of sourness… Just perfect! And they are sooo pretty! The chocolate ones are good too.
Great last minute gifts for everybody! Or just take something delicious home!:)

I frequent CJ Olson’s to pick up last minute gifts when I’m traveling. I love that they are local cherries and the fact that I’m supporting our local farmers. They don’t have as much inventory as their shop in Sunnyvale but the packages are gift ready so it’s perfect (they even scrape off the price tag for you). It’s a bit pricey but that’s what happens when you wait to get airport presents. LOL. My favorite gift packages to buy are the mixed chocolate covered cherries. So colorful and good variety of chocolate, plus the cherries are so tasty. They also have other dried fruits, nuts and chocolates and other gift packets (or munchie packs) but the cherry ones are the best IMO.

Every time I stop into CJ’s I don’t find anything that I just «have to» buy. This is a bummer since I like dried fruits and salty nuts in my mouth.

Personally, I prefer cherries over strawberries so this kiosk caught my eye as I was walking to the gate at the airport.
CJ Olson’s been around for about 110 years in Silicon Valley and now they’re waiting for you at the airport to take their special cherries with you wherever you’re going. Great souvenirs or gifts or special treat for yourself!
They have dried fruits, nuts, chocolates, fruit-​flavored candies, jams, gift baskets, travel packs and all kinds of cherry stuff.
The store space is a kiosk, which is traditionally small, so you might feel a pair of eyes on you as you browse, eagerly trying to see if you need help. Or, if she’s busy, you might be able to linger around more comfortably, but either way, if you need help, it’s only about 5 feet away.
If you’re looking to buy something that says San Jose/​Silicon Valley, then skip the overpriced tech mugs or cheesy Made-​in-​China stuff, and support Local Cherries!
