Our local little convenience store has just about everything you could need, and often saves all of us on the east side of town a trip up to Queen St or down to the Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike.
Three things set this place apart from your average Seven-Eleven.
First, it's run by friendly people from town who are always willing to take a moment to chat.
Second, the deli. Their own cold cuts like roast beef are a must try, and name brand american cheese is two dollars less a pound here than at the supermarket.
Third, their selection of beer. I'm not going to tell you that they have everything that a large liquor store in town does, because they don't, but they do an awesome job of keeping a really, really nice seasonal selection of micro-brews that they change often. They carry some small craft beer here you won't find many places, even at a large liquor store.
Not sure why my review is falling below the "recommended" line here? What gives? C'mon Yelp! First to Review!!! read more
