I had the cashew bark, which was absolutely delicious, and a chai that was perfectly spiced and really hit the spot. The atmosphere is just as great as the treats. They have seating and even some games, which makes it a fun place to hang out and relax while you enjoy your snack. The staff were also kind and helpful when choosing what we wanted. If I lived in the area, I would definitely be a regular here. Highly recommend stopping by if you're nearby!

The owner, Gary Kidd, goes out of his way to make it a destination with activities for kids and adults - photo booth, board games inside, outside games, and a winter igloo outside currently. Their handcrafted chocolates are phenomenal and there are all kinds of drinks to pair with them - coffee, tea, hot chocolate, bobo tea and specialty drinks that are named after local spots (including the three independent schools in town). Ice cream is served year round. The ever-changing decorations inside are not to be missed - the Harry Potter theme one was particularly great with clouds suspended from the ceiling along with wands and other things throughout the store. Make plans to visit Kent and stop by.

This is not a general store in the sense of, "there's a common product I need! Let me pop in!" This…read moreis a finely curated store with unique, I suspect regionally made, items perfect for presents and treating yourself. That one of a kind piece none of your friends have and will give a room extra pop? It's here. Woodford's doesn't have a physically large foot print, and is located next to the 109 Cheese Shop. There are parking spots on two sides of the building. As mentioned, there are housewares with ceramic glasses and plates, candle stick holders, designed paper, etc. There are also shelf stable snacks (matzo chips!), and a fridge with cheese, milk, and vegetables. (The Four Fat Fowl cheese is AMAZING) They also keep a cooler with a limited stock of frozen food, including lasagna, and have fresh vegetables on hand during the week. The mushroom display seems pretty constant though.

Woodford's General Store is the perfect destination for those looking to pick up some newfound culinary treats and a house gift when visiting friends and family in the vicinity of Kent. I exited the store with a goldenrod wool throw from Evangeline, a Maine-based textile company, and a pear-cardamom pie from Kent's High 5 Pies in hand. This small business is the kind I am happy to find as it enhances and supports the community.
