Albritton Fruit

I have yet to receive my oranges yet, so this review is not about the quality of the fruit. I will update it when it finally arrives. I ordered this fruit 8 days ago and it has yet to leave Orlando, FL. I called on Monday morning and asked what was going on, and they told me they only ship on Fridays and that actually my order might not even be going out until the NEXT Friday. What? When I’d placed the order five days before a Friday, it wasn’t going to go out THAT Friday, but the next one?
I finally got a notice later in the day on Monday (one week after the order was placed) that it had shipped, but I think it is going to take at least a week to get to me. It is just barely in the FedEx system as of today, Tuesday (late in the day) and has only been received today by the shipper in Orlando. It will now go ground shipping the rest of the way. Who does business like this? I’ve ordered all kinds of fresh food products from many businesses, and I’ve never had something take two weeks to arrive from the time of order (unless there was a backorder). Very strange.

Best orange and grapefruit juice I have ever had!

Expanded to include a small deli and a nice selection of organic fruits and vegetables. It’s a mini market now. Of course, they still have a nice variety of locally grown citrus.

You feel like family here! And omg! The deli has the best freshest sandwich’s in town!

Unbelievable poor service!
Order for a Christmas delivery was never received. Every person in this company seems to be unable to comprehend and deal with a service issue. It is as if you are speaking to a 95 year old VA employee. You have to repeat addresses, phone numbers, the problem, etc.
My order was resent, again not received.
Finally, now exactly 3 months to the day I called to cancel the order and get my money back. Initially the clerk said they would resend my Christmas gift but would not refund the money.
This is quite obviously a grossly mismanaged operation.

Hunting for some bluebells! Found them! Awesome!

Sent fruit to my daughter in Portland, OR for Thanksgiving. They guaranteed it would be delivered the week of Thanksgiving. It arrived the Saturday after Thanksgiving. When I called customer service they said they would get back to me and make it right. I am still waiting to hear from them and it’s three days before Christmas. I will never order from them again. There are plenty of other places to ship fruit from in Florida and I’m sure they will stand behind their guarantees.

This is one of the few places that I don’t think gets enough attention. They used to do wonderful things even exchange candy for fruit during Halloween season to help prevent any issues with razer blades or poisons in children’s candy. Well, and for the healthy aspects too I’m sure.
I love their fudge, their cute little shop and what I miss more than anything is their orange soft serve. Quite possibly the most delicious sweet I’ve ever tasted in my life.
Give this place a visit if you’re in the neighborhood, they’ll even ship gifts for you of fresh citrus from the sunshine state:).

Stepping into this store reminds you a little bit of what it may’ve been like to be a tourist in Sarasota in 1960. The store used to be surrounded by vast orange groves, including across the street, but now it’s sadly surrounded by neighborhoods where all the houses look the same.
You can buy fresh citrus, tacky kitchy gator souvenirs, and of course coconut patties. If you’d like to ship a crate of oranges and grapefruit to a loved one and remind them of how much sunnier it is in Sarasota than where these oranges are being shipped to, they’re able to do that as well. You can sample fresh juice from the machines as well.
One thing I’d make sure not to miss is the soft-​serve. The vanilla is really great and I’m told it’s even better when swirled with the orange.
