A very good place to do produce shopping, as the name mentioned even better if you want to buy garlic. They have good variety of Garlic and Garlic pickles as well. The highlight was Garlic Ice cream. My and my friends were intrigued by the sign board outside this shop since a while that how the garlic ice cream will taste like. This was the main reason we went over and to our surprise it was very delicious. I can whole heartedly recommend it unless you dont like Garlic. We were surprised as it has a very light garlic taste although I was expecting a strong garlic taste. All in all it was a good experience.
We love this place. Drive by coming from San Diego a few times a year and its a must stop by for us. I load up on my favorite snacks, seasonings, sauces/salsas and of course garlic ice cream!! Wonderful place to buy gifts too!! Love this place and the friendly staff. My 2 year old says the garlic ice cream is very yummy try it!
The place for all things garlic!!! The selection of products was ample. Everything from hot sauces, BBQ sauces, wines, olives, garlic ice cream and even actual garlic. The staff was friendly and helpful.
It was cute found a few things for gifts and to snack on our trip
Great shop! My dog loved ALL the smells...haha. They have garlic ice cream, so we had to try it. Now that we tried it, we will NEVER eat it again 🤣.
We stayed overnight in Gilroy on our road trip because garlic. So, of course, when in Rome, buy garlic. The people here are very nice and expect to pay tourist prices for good quality food. The garlic braids are so pretty and fragrant that Id hate to break it up, but I love garlic more than I love pretty dictations decorations 😉
Bought braids a year ago and they were awesome. Got some about 6 months ago and they were not as good. I contacted Garlic World and they promptly got back to me and took care of the issue. These things can happen with fresh food. I highly recommend that if you want great garlic flavor, and quality of product you should consider getting garlic from them. Very cool, excellent customer service.
Small version of casa de fruta. First time trying garlic ice cream and their selection was fresh and clean. Everything bought was tasty. Wonderful staff and very informative.
Clean variety of fresh and dried fruits & nuts. Staff very friendly and helpful.
I love it here. All the produce is so fresh.
Neat store to stop by and check out. Staff was wonderful and friendly. Nice assortment of garlicky items. Try the garlic ice cream. They have regular and and chocolate flavored. My kids loved the chocolate one.
Great place to stop by!! Usually smells very strong even from the road but this time there wasnt. Garlic galore! They have pickled garlic with different spices for purchase and samples in the back room. My fave was the Spicy Pickled Garlic, $13 for i think a 32oz?They sell fruits, seeds, nuts, beer in the fridge, and GARLIC ICE CREAM!! Not my fave but worth a try.Has its own lot, restrooms for use
Awesome place, I will suggest that you stop by and buy any kind of garlic
Love Garlic World, I brought my dad to Gilroy garlic festival and he fell in love with Gilroy garlic so Garlic World helps me out by allowing me to ship my dad 5lbs of fresh garlic every season.
Prices are a little high but thats what you get for a small store. Worth the trip out. My brother passed away today 5 years ago. We wanted pickles and garlic. Found a wine from the year he died and the name is fun for the sake of a garlic store, vampire. Going to take it home and have a glass for him. Staff was helpful and sweet to my niece and nephew.
So cool! Saw this place in the way up to SF. Lots of cool Garlic stuff!
Pricey but fun touristy stuff. The garlic ice cream is nothing but standard ice cream with garlic powder mixed in: nothing special and expensive.
Great staff. Amazing selection of garlic condiments. Great selection, great prices.
Such friendly folks great produce lots of supply
Fun place to stop during a road trip. Everything garlic plus lots of produce and sweets.
Wow! My trip here was amazing! You can’t beat a local family owned business. I had been told about it and finally made it down. The selection was amazing and the food is so good. I had a sweet tooth so I got a bunch of good snacks and treats. Also a very nice produce section. When you go you have to get “The Pepper Plant” to sauce. It’s amazing I bought 4 bottles and got home and realized I messed up and should have got more. Lastly I have to mention the service! Friendly and very helpful. I am terrible with names but a young lady and a young man helped me and they were perfect. I look forward to heading down again and shopping there again.
Amazing strawberries when its in season! Also they have a variety of other fruits and vegetables, a lot of dried fruit, and a whole section on seasoning and sauces.
Its a great place if you want any sausages we got smoked olives their great
My favorite garlic. Ice 🍨 cream was delicious
Always a great place to wander around and such nice people to help you out. Lots of wonderful items of food and other things to check out.
Some fresh products and produce. Friendly people.
I love this place, this gourmet garlic-inspired grocery store is a fun stop when you are passing through Gilroy.We stop here when ever we go to the bay area and its been a decade since we have been here.Even though we have to double back heading south, it is worth the time.Came today to pick up the fav spices and garlic amenities we love the garlic stuffed olives.We bought a garlic rope which is a group of garlic that they weave into a great wall hanging for your wall, you cut off the bulbs from the bottom and work your way up! this timeI bought a jar of double stuffed olives with jalapeño and garlic stuffed in them! OFF THE HOOK GOOD!Cant wait to come back to the bay so we can go back to Garlic World for more garlic goodness!
I love going to Garlic World to pick up my garlic! The cloves are wonderfully sized!
Locally sourced herbs and spices with a great hot sauce selection.
They have a lot of good knick knacks here
Great olives and of course garlic lots of garlic
Nice pleasure and comfortable. Employee was very friendly
Huge selection of garlic seasonings, oils, etc. Prices high.
Lots of fun garlicky stuff plus fresh produce, dry fruits, dehydrated fruits, snacks... We always stop here on our road trips.
Cool place, nice people. Not sure if goods sold are imported from elsewhere? California Garlic isnt a proud declaration of Gilroy.
Nice place, well organize and clean, staff attentive.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Accessible from 101 and offers a variety of garlic and related food items. The staff is very sweet. I liked their Garlic ice cream which was the purpose of my visit. The price is reasonable. The place is very clean and organized.
A great place to shop anything and everything garlic. Staff is very helpful and easy to approach. Produce is fresh. It is little expensive compared to Bay area grocery stores but quality of products is impeccable.
Clean store and great customer service!
Super nice people working and oh my, garlic everything plus plenty of complimentary tastings! Very reasonable prices, fresh food and fruit, and a lot of fun! Love it! Don’t go to the other place, this is the spot!
My mom has found a new place to go to for her peaches..I swear she drives a half hour away traffic permitting to go to Garlic world for their peaches
Absolutely love this place
Great place to stop by! Lots of local goods and friendly staff! Definitely recommend for anyone passing through the area for a friendly greeting to Gilroy 😄
Tried the Garlic Vanilla and Garlic Chocolate Ice Cream, worth trying!!!
About ten years ago I was in there, now the quality in some products are not the same taste, bummer....peace
Awesome!! I stopped at the garlic place not far from here and felt accosted by the rude worker. They had signs up everywhere and had a nasty portapotty wide open in the parking lot. It was gross. I left to take my business elsewhere and that is when we found Garlic World.This store is classier and better on so many levels. They let you use their restrooms and treat you with respect instead of going full commie trying to spray you down with lysol coming in the front door. I just ate a whole bag of these fried garlic things. Somewhere in the car there is allegedly garlic chocolate chip cookies. The garlic ice cream was on point. The yogurt covered pretzels were pretty effing amazing, too. We drive through this area four times a year and I will go out of my way to hit this place everytime.
If you like garlic this is the place.
The selection of garlic products are great and the workers are very friendly
Its good but wish they had more variety
They were open later than the other markets. Plenty of fruit was available.
Dangerous place to stop - they have everything you do and do not need.
Have nice chocolate garlic ice cream...
Nothing much excited me.
Yum garlic everything.
Its a nice place to stop on our 4 hour ride home
Always love stopping here on the way home! Lots of good fruit and veggies, seasoning and hot sauce and lots of other things.
Must stop for your road trip, especially if you are a garlic fan. Everything is good - including the garlic ice cream and garlic chocolate chip cookies (we all preferred the ice cream). They have dried fruit, nuts, stuffed olives and all sorts of garlic from fresh bulbs to pickled garlic to garlic infused oils. Place smells great too.
I often visit whenever swing by. The Pickle is one of the kind!
Its a garlic paradise, even an ice cream with a hint of a garlic. By some accounts, strong garlic smell is effective against flu. Who knows, maybe the same thing is true for coronavirus?
Good stuff and snack mmmmm
We always stop here when were near for all the great snacks, beverages, and hot sauces. Friendly helpful folks
Very clean...price is reasonable. Like the different flavors of garlic and lots of varieties to choose from other than garlic.
Awesome store - would love to see more organic products!
Its Gilroy! Garlic capital of the world. This place was so fun and interesting. Awesome seasonings, yummy candies and dodads you didnt know you needed. Just a few people wearing a mask, it really wasnt crowded.
They have it all and way friendlier staff than the garlic shoppe right down the road. Garlic world is the place to stop and they dont charge you for a mask you can get for free!
If you like garlic, then this is definitely the place for you. If you LOVE garlic, then you will probably lose your mind and not know what to do with yourself. If you ever conceived of mixing garlic with anything, they have it here. Even to the point of garlic ice cream (which is not for the faint of heart, I might add).
Fun place. Everything smells like garlic. Wide variety of food and snacks!
We Love Garlic world a must stop and shop!
My expectations were higher than the actuality. I didnt think there was anything unique about their products, except they did have a lot of dried fruit which served as a good healthy snack. As far as garlic products, nothing really unique-- olives, dressings, sauces, hot sauces. Nothing I couldnt find in my grocery store. Very nice staff though.
Smells like garlic when you walk in.
You can smell the garlic once you open the doors. Fresh vegetables and fruits
As a self proclaimed garlic obsessed nut this is the promised land, awesome little store and worth stopping into if you are a garlic fiend like I am, or as a fun little area to stretch your legs use the bathroom and look around on a trip.P.S. dont let the name fool you, garlic ice cream is better then you might think :3
It was neat. I was a little disappointed that most of the bottled stuff– sauces, salsa etc– seemed to be imported when this is Gilroy- garlic capitol USA. The olive oils seemed to be imported oil blended locally. Oh well.
If you like garlic, this is the place for you! Garlic world is very aptly named. Theyve garlicked everything and some more. I usually stop here to grab a cup of the garlic ice cream because it is surprisingly very yummy! A nice rest stop because youve still got over an hour to reach San Francisco.
Amazing place, is our must-stop every time we go to the beach or the aquarium, the picked garlic is sooo tasty and pretty much everything
Always a stop North bound on 101.
Clean, polite staff.
Was expecting something a little more culinary, as I am a garlic freak. Tried both the garlic ice cream and garlic kettle corn. Wont repeat those mistakes...This is more of a tourist stop than a place garlic lovers would find something new and yummy.
Freeway accessible. Garlic the best!
I love this place they have such a great selection of dried fruit the exceeds the usual finds they have dried kiwi pineapple peaches nectarines just to name a few and such a great variety of nuts as well plain or in a multitude of flavors sweet salty spicy you name it everything is so fresh and you can buy pre packaged or by the pound they also carry a great selection of wines jams and jellies dipping sauces etc... Perfect place to make a gift basket can’t wait to go pack very nice young woman at the register too!
Cool experience, a lot of garlic
