The…read morecoffeehouse is excellent, and the mini-mart connected to the gas station is really well done. The store was stocked with a great selection of what appeared to be locally made foods. I was especially impressed by the branding and cozy coffee house motif. This place really feels unique. I'll definitely keep it on my radar. If you're traveling on 70 through Maryland, check it out.

I also wanted to grab an espresso from their coffee bar, but there was no barista to be found. That was the negative but it was busy, to be fair. We ended up grabbing a premade sandwich and some cheesecake. Both were so good! The cheesecake was legit better than Cheesecake Factory. It was a huge slice for about $10. The sandwich was on fresh delicious bread. They have a great selection of items here and we would definitely make the pit stop again - hopefully with more time to wait for custom orders.

The mac and cheese was much better than it looked. The chili dog was very good although the pretzel bun was surprisingly tough. The potato salad was quite good too.

I tried the chicken salad sandwich and it was incredibly satisfying. The store deserves an exploration and has a little bit of everything.

Strasburg, VA. Shell/New Star Market. Dec, 2025. We were traveling between Warrenton, VA and…read moreThomas, WV, having just exited I-81 near Strasburg. We wanted to fill up on gas before "going over the mountain". GPS led us to the New Star Market/Shell Gas Station, which was only about a mile off I-81 and directly on our route. The self-service gas area was a bit congested, but we squeezed behind a parked pickup to get to a pump. Gas prices were excellent at $2,75/gallon. I went to check out the small convenience store. They seemed to have pretty much everything that a traveler might want or need, including snacks, a deli, and more. Many other reviewers have mentioned BBQ, and an outdoor sign, advertised this as well. Somehow, my husband and I both missed this -- probably because it wasn't lunch time for us yet! We'll have to check it out again upon our return. The cashier was friendly and polite. Restrooms were outside and clean. .

The ribs are moist and tender, though the overly sweet sauce masks some of the meat's flavor. The pulled pork sandwich is solid, and the baked beans and coleslaw are respectable.

Gave me two different BBQ sauces, both were good. Love that I didn't get charged extra for fries. Service was great, got a beer within a few mins while I waited for my order to go.

I got the impression that not many people show interest in it sooo, get on it! Their Cookies & Cream pie is meh but their blueberry pie, warmed up with a little whip cream hits the spot.
