I remember this store from when I was a kid and would stay the night at friend's houses in the…read moreHucrest sub-division. Every stay at a friends house would equal riding bikes down to this store to get candy or chips, or soda, or baseball (football/basketball) card or comics .... or something that would enhance the stay over. This place has been a staple in Hucrest for as long as I can remember. They have always been consistent with what they have to offer. The store itself is a little dated, but the employees have always been helpful and courteous. Easy place to stop off to grab something and may be able to prevent you from having to go to a grocery store - especially if you just need an item or two and it's a pretty common thing. All in all, not a bad little stopping off spot. If you've never been give them a shot.

I was in the Melrose Country Store Wednesday evening 10 minute's before closing. I poured a large…read morecup of coffee which I could tell had been made hours earlier. The carafe was almost empty very dark and smelled very strong, I put some creamer in and it was obvious that it was not drinkable. I put it in the trash and told the Owner thank you and left the store. He comes out into the parking lot saying he needed to talk to me.I walked over to him seeing he had pulled the cup out of the trash and he asked, what did i think I was doing? This is not free! Do you think I get this free? I said it was old and undrinkable, he said he just made a fresh pot. I said no that was old and the pot was empty, He involved a male customer saying do these woman think this is free? I said look the coffee is too old to drink but if it's a problem i will pay for it but will not drink it. I reluctantly paid for it, as he threw it in the garbage. I was embarrassed about the whole situation and very disappointed with the owners behavior. Needless to say I will not be doing business at this store again. Darla Brabender

Don't know what they put in it, but definitely not for me. Sandwiches are huge and a 1/2 will do most people. The tots and gravy were delicious. Staff was friendly. Seating is a couple of tables and then shared picnic style shared tables. There's a wall of various goods for sale. A cold refrigerator with some meats, soups and sausages when we were there.

The store is clean, well-organized, and has decent prices; its shelves offer organic local-grown and fair-trade items for the concerned shopper. Books, juices, gluten-free foods and other items can be found throughout the shop too. I was personally impressed with the honey and organic vinegar selections. A brief conversation with the owners is enough to know that they're outgoing and friendly people with a great business plan; they project strength and fortitude, tempered with earthy personalities that will surely be mirrored by their business. I'm confident the store will succeed because this ethereal little shop will unquestionably fill a much needed demand for the people of Oakland, Sutherlin, and the surrounding rural areas. Once the store realizes it potential the elusive fifth star will be awarded.
