Overall: This boutique grocery store is a little out of place in Bethel. Everything is high quality with some unusual selections. The staff and owners are super helpful and make shopping there quick and easy. Given its a small store, some things are hard to find and prices aren't always the lowest, but they make up for it in quality and service. Quality: 4 Selection: 3 Service: 5 Value: 2 Quality: Everything here was high quality. No cheap stuff. We found good produce, wine, beer, cheese, and other local selections. They do a lot of catering here, so they have an appreciation for cooking and good ingredients. Its a good place in the area to get good quality food. Selection: Selection was hit or miss. On one hand, they had great selections of local products, wine, beer (some of which I've never seen on the east coast), and cheese. On the other, they were missing some basic items, like bread. What they had was nice, but they didn't have some things I consider staples. Service: The service here is amazing. Heather and Dave are amazing and are happy to discuss what they have or recipe options. Their staff was helpful and happily checked the back for additional items I was looking for. The service is one of the main reasons to go here. Value: This is a boutique store and the prices reflect it. This isn't the place to go for a bargain but in this area this is the only store I've seen with higher end selection. Its clearly a trade off for the service and high quality they have here, but still isn't cheap. read more

Had the BBQ chicken cheddar wrap and it was 70% BBQ sauce. Sorry but not worth the price

I decided to try this place again and I'm so glad I did ! Stopped in last Saturday , early afternoon and the place was hopping ! Glad I had called in my order ahead of time. I ordered 2 steak and cheese subs and a tuna salad and everything was amazing ! The large salad could feed two people as a side or one hungry person . Honestly this was the best subs I've had in a long time and same with the salad ! I love the lettuce they used . I'll be back soon ! Thank you for the great food and service! read more

Great place to shop local in the Bethel area. It's a mini grocery store! One should find most of your basic needs at this place! The wine selection is impeccable along with Maine made brews. The sandwiches are off the chain. They make any sandwich you can think of to order and if you're looking to get a caterer, Heather and Dave are the best to work with! The pre made meals and salads are the best bang for your buck! Including lasagnas, cold pasta salads and tons of pork and chicken dishes! Come check these guys out if you haven't yet! You will not regret the visit! read more

Good Food Store - House made Moroccan Chicken dish- - Health Markets Near Me - Bethel, Maine

Super fun beer selection and great take home meals in the fridge! A great stop for some hidden gem Asian grocery goodies (maesri curry paste is one of my 20min meal go-tos) as well. The sandwiches are delicious but call ahead as the wait can be pretty long. read more

After a hike up Albany Mountain, we were looking for something easy and not too heavy for lunch. We drove past the Good Food Store and decided to turn right back around since the parking lot was full and we saw picnic tables to eat at. It has tons of local products like cheeses, baked goods, snacks and produce along with an awesome selection of beer and wine. We ordered a BLT w/ turkey and grabbed some homemade pesto tortellini salad, a bag of black truffle chips (which were so good) an iced tea and ended up not being able to resist the freshly baked gingersnap cookie while waiting in line. We enjoyed our food in a shady picnic area near a small little BBQ food truck that I don't believe was a part of the store but they also had people lined up and it smelled fantastic. I know that if we were locals, this would definitely be a regular place for us to stop, especially since they had some craft beers we've never seen before! read more

They made our wedding spectacular!! Not only was the food amazing, from appetizers to the entrées but Heather and her team helped us navigate the nasty weather to create a beautiful dinner for our wedding. The team was amazing and so efficient when setting up, cooking, and serving. We had to change from an outdoor to indoor wedding and Heather helped talk us through our options to make sure we were able to enjoy the day. The food was also amazing! Everyone was raving about the surf and turf dinner, the delicious soup and appetizers, and we got to enjoy some leftovers the next day. They were great!! read more

Great little market if you need a few things here and there. We picked up fruit, ice cream and a homemade woopy pie! Very friendly staff.

Food selection was decent. Cool vibe. Veggie burger sandwich was decent but hummus sandwich was lacking hummus and flavor.

My husband and I were actually driving through town and were charging our electric car across the street when I spotted the Good Food Store. We were in need of some snacks and drinks for the drive so decided to stop by - so glad we did! We arrived 30 mins before they closed but were greeted by the friendly employee at the cash register. They had a ton of selections of food, from baked goods, to chips, to produce and even made-to-go meals. We grabbed a few different things and the employee helped my husband pick out a local Maine beer to try. You can't go wrong with the Good Food Store. Great service with an amazing selection of goodies. Definitely recommend if you're in the area! read more

delicious! everything we got was amazing. chicken pie, veggie pie, soups, chocolate chip cookies to die for! Also had the small green salad with their vinaigrette dressing..... I will definitely go here when I visit Bethel again. read more

Great little location. The store was busy throughout our visit, but the staff was still kind and attentive. We bought a few sandwiches and some fizzy soda like drinks to take out and everyone loved their choices. There seems to be something for everybody in terms of sandwiches. Nice little grocery store with limited and unusual items. If you needed to get by for a short trip, you could do so here but you'll pay more than at a traditional grocer. To be expected though. Definitely a place we'll visit again when we're back. read more

Nice local food store with to-go sandwiches and sundries. Lovely staff, always friendly. Thanks for the lunches!

Heather and her staff catered my daughter's wedding this past weekend. I was impressed with their professionalism. Plus the food was outstanding! read more

If you are driving from Maine to Vermont this is a wonderful place to stop for lunch. The people are very friendly and they have a very nice selection of products here. Organic soap, good beer, lip balm, the bathroom was very clean. The sandwiches that my GF and I had were made with love, and very, very tasty. The answer to your question is : Yes! read more

I'm here somewhat often because the Good Food Store shares a parking lot with the excellent "BBQ Bob's Real Pit BBQ" trailer and they are located across the street from the only place in the area that seems to carry both the Boston Globe and Wall St. Journal daily papers (I'm a nerd, sue me...) The main draw for us is the excellent heat-and-serve prepared meals (I think they are made by the same folks who do the catering). We regularly get: - Shepherds pie - Chicken pot pie - Mac & Cheese - Moroccan Chicken Selection varies on any given day, possibly as a reflection of what the catering folks had to cook up that day for clients. All are excellent and a great way to feed a bunch of people if you don't feel like cooking from scratch or hitting an area restaurant. The prepared meals are mostly what we shop for here; they have a wide selection of other stocked items as well including nuts, pastry, frozen foods, breads, beer & wine etc. read more

This place is fantastic! The most amazing homemade soups, cookies, sandwiches and other goodies. Really makes this area of Maine a travelers hotspot.....because there is good food to match the natural beauty and plethora of outdoor activities. 6 stars! read more

Awesome food stop to stock up your ski house. They sell Urban Farm Kombucha...the locally made pastries and breads are divine. Prices are health food store high but who cares, it's all good stuff. read more

Great place for bulk foods, healthy options, and friendly staff! I would recommend this place to everyone especially if you are looking for a vegan/vegetarian/gf option. read more

Catering is fantastic, baked goods great, sandwiches are on point and they have a terrific beer selection. Service is always with a smile - this place is good, versatile and reasonably priced!!!!! read more

I had a not so pleasant experience when dealing with a lady on the phone. She was very rude, and did not provide much guidance when I inquired about their catering services. In other words, I felt as though I needed to do everything myself. If you are looking for catering for events, I would look elsewhere. read more

I wish I would have found this place on my FIRST day in Bethel...not my last. I wouldn't have gone anywhere else! This is not a full service restaurant, it's a market, and I found the quality of food to be better than anywhere else in Bethel. If you're staying at Sunday River and have a kitchen in your room, stock up at Good Food Store! They do make made-to-order sandwiches on-site. Good things do come in small packages. The store itself is adorable, it has a ton of character. For a small, quaint market, I was very impressed with the selection of local products, bulk items, quality brand packaged items, organic fruit and vegetables, wine, individually bagged nuts, pretzels, chocolates, etc., and fresh, pre-made meals. I had the pork and green chili burrito for lunch (pre-made by the market's chef) holy cow it was delicious! One of those meals where you actually talk to your food because you can't believe how delicious it is! I brought a friend back to the store that same afternoon so he wouldn't miss out on the pork burrito eating experience. Do not miss Good Food Store on your visit to Bethel. Go on your first day in town and stock your refrigerator! read more

The Good Food Store is a great place to stop for final provision before hitting the woods for a few days - although visitors probably wouldn't know it, as the building is so indiscernible, it's very easy to drive by - It looks like an old, unwindowed farm house - I only noticed the sign saying "local Maine food!" in the window when I was getting gas across the street. The Good Food Store also makes solid sandwiches - perfect for that return trip from the woods. And pretty darn good coffee, too. read more

Why on earth anyone would consider going to the Irving for Subway or snacks while the Good Food Store is open across the street is beyond me. I can honestly say I've never had an edible item from here that wasn't fantastic. They've got trail snacks, made in-house, anything from dried apples to raw trail mix. Their sandwiches are full of tasty goodness. The turkey bomb is a personal favorite, the match of which I haven't found in another similar-style sandwich. You can also purchase some other basic necessities, natural products and many gluten-free items for those with dietary issues. The staff is always friendly...I could keep going, but you should really just check it out for yourself if you're in the Bethel area! read more

I always go here for sandwiches. Fresh, tasty, and a very convenient location leaving the mountain to grab a bite. Bbq been there for years, I honestly think the Bbq is its own entity, but a few yelpers say otherwise...whatever the deal is, its all local and great food. The good food store offers plenty of local and new England drinks: the Maine root sodas, Poland spring seltzer water, nantucket nectar, etc. They offer a variety of frozen foods, microbrews, fresh produce, cheese, wines, homemade nuts, my favorite the chocolate, peanut butter, or yogurt covered pretzels (so good), teas, coffees, lake champlain chocolates from Vermont, etc. Good food store also offers many types of cooking ingredients including various Asian condiments. On top of this they offer their own catered meals frozen (up by the drinks, in the front) and homemade chocolate chip, oatmeal, and gingersnap cookies. Plus, another favorite is their pumpkin and cream cheese whoopie pie.....wicked good, trust me, you will think the chocolate whoopie pie is over rated after eating this! So why 3 stars? Their service. I never get great service here. But unfortunately, its something I have to ignore because there are few options in newry and bethel area that have quality products. While growing up skiing at Sunday river and coming/going regularly because we are fortunate to have a condo on the mountain, I've tried it all. I've gone to this place consistently since it opened, in my experience service has always been fake and interesting...its not a one time event. It's been consistently poor. But the foods excellent and they offer a different type of product to the tourists and/or a clintele willing to pay a higher price. read more

Considering the location, in a fairly remote area, they kind of have it all. Great beer selection, great kombucha selection. Nice fresh veggies and fruit, various breads. Hard to find rice cakes and flour/grain options. If you're healthy eating conscious and need a few things, they probably got you. read more

They did a delivery for us for 17 people (family reunion). They are wonderful to work with and very helpful when it came to food selection in regards to family members' allergies (celiac disease & peanuts). Appetizers, dinner, and dessert selections were all delicious and the food arrived right on time. Thank you "Good Food Store" for helping make our visit to Maine extra special. read more

We stumbled across this place after a visit to Mt. Washington in NH and decided that if we were so close to Maine we might as well go. We stopped here to get a sandwich and bought some good beer as well. The map location on Yelp, shows this place almost a half mile from where it actually is, but is actually at the same place as the Smokin' Good BBQ place (which is actually owned by the same people). This is actually a health food store, with a good selection of wine, beer and even port wine. The sandwiches are made to order, and from very good quality and not expensive at all. The BBQ place is in the parking lot of this store and you can eat at either one outside at benches if you want. We had the Turkey, Cheddar, BBQ sandwich and Beef, Cheddar and BBQ sandwich. Both were excellent, hot and fresh, though I will say that Yankee BBQ sauce is nothing like a good NC BBQ sauce, but I guess they do the best they can. :) Would definitely come back, and next time will try the BBQ place as well! read more

Heather, Dave and the Good Food Store crew: We can't thank you enough for what an amazing job you did for our wedding at Ski Esta on June 8th! Coming from NY, and not knowing the area, We are so glad we made the right choice for our catering. Everyone is still raving about the fantastic BBQ dinner you provided us on Friday night for our rehearsal dinner, and the amazing buffet on our Big Day (-We enjoyed all the leftovers on Sunday too!).. Your help with coordinating all the last minute needs (cases of wine, gluten-free/vegetarian/vegan needs for our guests, sandwich platter while us girls were getting our hair and makeup done) - everything was just PERFECT. I can't say enough good things about The Good Food Store!!!!! To all the future Bethel/Newry area Brides out there: The Good Food Store is first-rate, professional, classy, and some of THE BEST food I've ever had. read more

What a pleasant surprise! Very tasty made to order sandwich. Stopped in while on a road trip, glad we found them as my sister is a vegan and it can be hard to find food in little towns. Great quality, friendly staff and good variety of prepared foods. Seems like a mini grocery / deli for locals as well. There was a lot of healthy options. The back rooms are set up with fresh veggies and wine to buy. read more

We stopped at this shop while visiting the area based upon the recommendation of a local and so glad we did! We ended up going back several times during our visit as their soups, sandwiches, and pumpkin whoopee pies were out of this world amazing! Ended up stopping again at end of our visit to bring soup home for our families. There is a great selection in the store and super friendly staff. Will definitely return next time we are in town. read more

Great selection and helpful staff. Friendly and considerate during this time of COVID. Got a coffee one day after the mountain and wine and dinner the next. Looking forward to supporting local stores who care about others like Good Food Store in the future :) read more

My first visit at the Good Food store. WOW.. Took a peanut noodle salad and oh so good chocolate chip cookie, to go for a late lunch. Just perfect. Brought a homemade vegetable Pot pie home for Dinner. Absolutely amazing. From the perfect light, flaky, buttery crust. To the savory perfect filling. Rediculous This store is Gem. Looking forward to our next visit Oh wait, the staff are so friendly and helpful . read more

The market is great if you want to quickly grab a delicious pre-made dinner, desert, wine etc. (we love the butternut squash lasagna). We also just used their catering services for a drop off of a hot dinner to our townhouse at Sunday River. We were celebrating a birthday and I didn't want to take time out of my skiing to cook everyone dinner. We called the GFS and they made us a delicious dinner and dropped it off nice and hot. Highly recommend this service. read more

Great salad and sandwich selection. We got Italian sandwich which was awesome. Fresh and organic ingredients. The cookies were great too!

The Good Food Store is easy to miss but I am sure we glad that we didn't! It shares the parking lot with the Smokin' Good BBQ. The two businesses are co-owned. Lots of homemade goodies at the Good Food Store. Try the soup of the day. On a frosty night, we bought African peanut soup which was indescribably delicious. Lots of interesting stuff in here including local beer, wine and desserts. Go here first and then cross the lot for great BBQ for a twofer you will not soon forget. read more

Me and husband visit here last June of 2014. Good food at good price. Love the food truck outside will stop here every time I am in Maine. I stocked up on raw honey and things I don't see to much in the city at these prices. I hope they have that moose next time I visit. read more

I hired the Good Food Store to cater a fund-raising dinner for 16 in my home. I couldn't have been happier! The food was great. The staff was very professional. It allowed me to have as good a time as my guests. read more
