The Milk Pail Market

Imagine this…hand rolled frozen croissants that you put out on the counter on a Friday night, and in the morning they have risen into a beautiful form, you then slip them into the 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes and you have just saved $1200 on a plane ticket to Paris, because these babies are every bit as good as what I found in France a few years ago. And at the Milk Pail you can also find about 400 cheeses that you can sneak into those freshly baked croissants on a cozy weekend morning!

Established in 1974.
We have grown from a very unique “Drive Thru Dairy” (in the ’70’s we pasteurized milk in the room where we now sell cheese) into a very popular Open Air European Market. Our roots are in diary … and from those roots we have become a cheese shop with an unbelievable selection of local and faraway cheeses. The expansion into produce we began back in the late 1980’s … and now we purchase seasonally from many growers on the coast, in the central valley and down in the Hollister-Salinas valley.
