This store has SO MANY interesting bottles of boutique soda. If you don't drink alcohol, but still like cracking open a bottle of a craft drink, then this place is for you. To be fair, they do also carry some alcohol, but the alcohol section pales in comparison to the sodas. I bought a bottle of Cock N Bull apple ginger beer (for anyone who doesn't already know this, ginger beer, like root beer, is completely non-alcoholic), and a can of Pocasville bebida de T de hibiscus. I was going to pick out more drinks, but noticed that there were no price stickers anywhere. So, naturally, I wanted to know how much they cost before picking too many out. When I went to the register with my two items, I was given some serious sticker shock. It was well over seven dollars for two sodas. Of course I understand that food is really expensive right now, and that, the further the food has to be transported before purchase, the more it costs. Still, wow. That seemed so high. In addition to the amazing selection of overpriced sodas, this small store also had a great selection of (pricey) chocolates, cheeses, and hiking snacks. Additionally, they have a produce section that actually makes the store in Curry Village Yosemite look good. There were exactly two lemons, two limes, three oranges, four apples, and one piece of ginger. The cashier was maybe a little odd, but friendly. He recognized the people in front of me by name, and had a nice little conversation with them. The store was neither exceptionally clean or dirty, but looked clean enough. Parking was very limited with only about three spots out front, but there appeared to be more places to park across the street. I did not yet patronize the fresh sandwich deli, which seems to be the main feature of this store. Maybe another time. read more

Great spot to stop after a hike and visiting the lighthouse, but I don't think these products I got a and my visit to the lighthouse is worth $37.44. I understand their location but c'mon?! I've been to other secluded areas in NorCal, but this is just too much. I love supporting local businesses but this spot isn't and never worth coming back to. read more

The sign for the (very gross) port a potty wasn't visible, so I asked the man at the cash register (he's the owner/ I don't know his name). He was SO grossly rude to me. He waved his hand in the air. I asked again about the bathrooms. he again waved his hand in the air, not saying a word to me. He then went off on me about how so may people ask him and he's sick of it. Maybe they can put the sign where it isn't covered by the tall weeds? In any sense, I didn't deserve this entitled curmudgeon to degrade me for politely asking a reasonable question. Will not eat here or return again! read more

Very yummy sandwiches! affordable and very big' We payed $12 for just the one sandwich and were able to split it! Staff was very friendly and had lots of good options for food, snacks, and drinks! You can walk around the back and sit by the water and was very relaxing! read more

The owner/operator makes a killer sandwich as if he was going to eat it himself. That says a lot.. friendly service great grab and go market and always surprise to find when it comes to soda makes and flavors. As long as it's not too windy the back parking area has million dollar views of Tomales bay. read more

Dropped in hungry after going to the lighthouse, we shared an avocado turkey sandwich with salami on the side. The owner was very friendly and made us a delicious sandwich we enjoyed in his lovely store. Great stop on the way back to the East Bay. read more

I love this store because the owners, Raj and Nveita are super friendly and helpful. The sandwiches are made fresh and they go out of their way to accommodate me with my special dietary needs. Their selection of root beer, cream sodas, ginger beer and other specialty sodas are out of this world. I never seen seen so many specialty sodas (in addition to regular sodas). They have many items (that you forgot to bring with you ) for the beach or picnics. There is a nice little sitting area at the back of the store that has great views of Tomales Bay and the surrounding hills. The medical helicopters land in the grassy area next to the store. And the shipwreck is behind the store. The store is across the street from the post office. They have specialty gourmet items, as well as ramen bowls, frozen food items, ice creams, snacks, cheese, and staples. read more

This was the best kind of deja vu. We were on our way to the coast and I was starving. I remembered stopping for a sandwich - I remembered it was a good sandwich the last time we were here. But I didn't look at my last Yelp review and didn't realize that I ordered the same sandwich I ordered last time: turkey, avocado and cheese on a Dutch crunch roll. Yes, I got the Swiss and yes, everything else on it the way it is supposed to be. And the lady was there again to make it and it was again magical. I literally could have cried at how good this sandwich was. It felt like a warm hug. It was wrapped beautifully in white paper and a little thank you sticker with a heart. It was just as good as last time and I ordered some gummy peaches and a Reeses Take 5 bar as well. The total was about $17 with everything. Thank you to Inverness Market! read more

Delicious Ruben sandwich! Lots of choices for sandwiches, snacks, drinks and staples.

I stopped by the Inverness Store yesterday on the way to the beach. My friend and I got vegan burgers that were surprisingly yummy. It had been more than a few years since I'd stopped by, and it looked like it's been renovated and really cleaned up. The store was clean and well-stocked (but be forewarned, it's not a full-service grocery), with snacks, beverages, and more. Bonus points for being open on a Sunday, as the first store we stopped at wasn't! The customer service from the man behind the counter was friendly and welcoming, and our burgers were made quickly. They were not cheap, but they were nice and heavy, and the ingredients used were fresh- I've often gotten nasty freezer-burnt patties from restaurants and markets when I order a veggie or vegan option, so it was nice to get something palatable. Overall, I enjoyed the food, and so did my friend, and I would stop here again. read more

Went in on a Saturday afternoon after racking the lighthouse. We were famished. The last behind the counter was super sweet and promptly whipped up 7 sandwiches. They were delicious and fresh. Cute little market with tons of drink and dry food options. Nice cozy no thrills place for some reasonable real food! read more

Great sandwiches to end our hike. Truly was fantastic. great service and quality of food. 10/10 would go back.

We came to this store on some advice from a person that comes here frequently. At first we were a little concerned since one of the workers (older female) was out side smoking a cigarette. That is normally no big thing but she was wearing her plastic protection gloves. Then she used them to open the door etc. I almost left think she was going to make my sandwich lol. (That would have been a nope). However there was a nice hispanic couple making the sandwiches. They were very friendly and took our sandwich order. While waiting we looked around the store for some drinks and chips. Not a huge selection of items but it is a small store. We payed the lady with the gloves and she was not overly outgoing and not too friendly but she also was not in any way rude. We took our sandwiches to a a nice spot (there are plenty of "nice spots" in Point Reyes) and relaxed. The sandwiches were excellent. When I say excellent i mean they were top notch. I had the Ham, turkey and bacon club sandwich and my wife had the chicken bacon sandwich. They were both warm sandwiches and made with fresh bread and fresh produce. We had gone to a store down the street (another review) the day before. We like this Store much better for the sandwiches. I would highly recommend this store for their deli sandwiches. read more

Yet again, the best sandwich ever -- this time of tuna Melt made with Swiss, competitively price and very FRESH! Raj and Nav are wonderful... the store has household things, firewood, all kinds of grocery items, and like 1 million chilled beverages. read more

Came in for the sandwiches, Ruben was supposed to be their speciality. Although the sandwich was good, I had it better elsewhere. I still would recommend this store because it was an easy stop for a casual lunch, ice cream, and soda drinks. read more

Amazing sandwich and wide selection. People were friendly for the most part. The humus was really good

To be honest I never come by this store, but the one I usually go by for food was closed. I was pleasantly surprised by my sandwich, not bad at all. I asked for it to be loaded up and staff did just that. The rest of the items are expensive (aka almost $5 for a bag of chips), so plan ahead and bring your own snacks! They do have a pretty large selection of grocery items though and one of the only casual spots in that direct area open on Sunday. I wish they would add a few sandwich spread options besides mustard, Mayo, or oil. Pros: Sandwiches are basic, but good Wide selection of grocery items available Open on Sunday Easy to swing by for food on your way to the beach/hike Staff is friendly Bread was soft and tasted fresh Cons: Pricy (ie $11 for a veggie sandwich) Very limited fridge items read more

Came by on the way back from point reyes and was so glad we did! The guy working behind the counter was AWESOME! You know how one really nice person can just make your day? He was that guy! We ordered couple sandwiches, drinks and chips and ate them with the great view of the bay from the parking lot. If you want a picnic lunch this place has everything you need and more! Sandwiches were good classic deli sandwiches. They have a huge selection of drinks, lots of root beer and cream soda options, I feel like it'd be a fun place to take a kid and let them pick out their favorite drink. Absolutely will be back, highly recommend a stop if you need a snack or picnic. read more

This is a real place. Quick no nonsense picnic sandwiches for your day in the park. Today we had a classic reuben on rye and a blt on sourdough. Both were delicious and very reasonably priced, delivered with a smile. It is a quirky interior. Tons of different sodas in the cooler-makes for a fun stop with young kids. Nice option especially when the other spots are packed with tourists. Also has a great selection of Inverness hoodies and other trinkets. read more

Hubby and I were staying in Inverness for our anniversary weekend. We stopped here to grab drinks on our way to our air b&b. The clerk Raj is super friendly and asked us if we were visiting. Raj recommended places to go and places to eat and gave us a visitors book. What a nice guy! We hiked the next day and wanted a quick bite and came back for sandwiches. Great store, a variety of items and good selections. Sandwiches were so good. We sat inside and ate and Raj came over to check on us. Excellent customer service! Raj is a complete gem and should be recognized. I was observing his customer service with every person who came in and we were so impressed by his friendly demeanor and genuineness. We will remember to stop here when we come to town. read more

Great food , great prices and great service. The sandwiches and the bred options (esp. the Dutch crunch) are so fantastic. The breakfast special sandwich is so tasty and such a great deal.

Other sandwiches are also fantastic This place has been around for years .... There is a reason for that! Dan the owner is a super guy ... so helpful in every way. read more

Great sandwich! A little expensive but it makes sense, it's the only grocery store for a while.

Awesome store great shrimp and avocado sandwich I highly recommend it I will be a regular customer ever time I am out there I will stop in

Worst woman EVER working this store! She was soo rude and completely disrespectful. The items we were going to purchase we left on a shelf after she gave us a major attitude! Doesn't deserve our business or yours! Be pissed at the world lady on your own time, not when your working and take it out on your customers! RUDE read more

My wife and I stopped here on the way back from biking to Pt Reyes lighthouse. First off, the lady working there is so sweet! She made us some delicious sandwiches and we were pleasantly surprised at how good they were! I had the Turkey Avo Bacon on Soft French and my wife had the Turkey Avo. Everything was so fresh! The bread was amazing and all the veggies they put on top were soo good. We walked around the store and were really surprised at how good a selection of things like root beer and kombuchas and chips they have. This place would make a great stop to gather picnic items. We are so glad we found this place and will definitely be back. read more

Absolutely avoid unless you absolutely must have something and cannot drive to another nearby market. The woman running the shop this morning was so massively mean, so shockingly nasty for no reason, I thought I might be on a candid camera show. Half the store is beer and wine, I immediately spotted a Pinot Noir which sells for $12 at Trader Joe's for $29.99. Okay, it's that kind of store I figured, costs more for things to reach here. I'll just get what I need. I got a hunk of cheddar cheese, a box of Triscuits, a bar of Ritter chocolate and a dozen eggs. I could see the person in the back, I sent a friendly "hello there" back to her. No answer. I looked around for a minute more. I called out again, "Hey there." She came out and I said, "Hi how are you today?" Ignored me, pointedly. "What can I do for you?" She snapped. Okay, someone pissed in her cornflakes, I won't force her to be friendly. She rings it up -- there's no way for you to see a register price or total, just one removed register with no screen visible to you. It's just under $30. She flipped around the card machine to me, said, "do you need a receipt?" I was swallowing paying $30 for these 4 items, but okay, when traveling... I said, yes please. "Text or email," she snapped, and went in back. The screen immediately reset, having finished the transaction, not offering me a receipt. That's pretty shady. She came back out to help someone else, I pointed out the machine didn't offer a receipt in any form, she threw -- yes, threw -- a pen and post-it note toward me, "leave your number, my manager can call you." Now, I always try to think of like, "what if her dog died today?" Or something. I'm an actively friendly person. I won't force chat on someone but I always smile and say thank you, etc. There's no explanation for what would make this woman so actively hostile. She had matted hair that looked like it hadn't seen a bath in a few days, I would absolutely not want her touching any food I would eat. I would just say, drive the 8 minutes to Point Reyes Station, Palace Market has a great selection, way more reasonable prices, and reasonably friendly and helpful folks. Also Inverness Park Market is even closer and looks good. You can see the scenic shipwreck behind this store, but I would avoid going inside this store-wreck, until it has new management. read more

We have been visiting the area every year since 2010. We had heard they made great sandwiches but when we went in there to try to order, the prep area didn't look too well maintained. Prices on products were basically non-existent, meaning one had to ask the clerk how much something costs and the quoted prices was always on a high side. Only good thing we observed was they had product that was more mainstream offerings compared to the competition in the area. The times we have gone into the store throughout the years, (we visit the Pt. Reyes Boat wreck) basically we observe the same thing. In fairness, last time we went into the store was last year (2022) bypassing it completely this year when we just visited TB just last week so YMMV. read more

Cool Twilight Zone Experience Pics of destroyed and abandoned things. Disasters, destruction, explosions, blasts, misfortunes, fires, collisions, and the aftermath. "All is as if the world did cease to exist. The city's monuments go unseen, its past unheard, and its culture slowly fading in the dismal sea." ― Nathan Reese Maher I was drawn to this place not for a cold refreshing drink or a deli made sandwich the address of the Inverness Store simply provides the map to see the real wonders and mystery of this soulful place. Behind the bare shelves and the store front lies the real reason one pulls off the highway along this barren stretch of California highway into a store parking lot that seems to barely exist. I'm sure the ghost of sailors and merchant marines still visit these waters after the sun sets and darkness falls to mourn the fate of comrades from earlier times who still warns all of this final destination if you listen closely you can still hear the cry of men struggling to free themselves from the grasp of the depths and eternity. What a cool place this is definitely something you will only experience a few places in the world. read more

It is a rustic location in a building that has seen it's fair share of decades passing but for lunch spot surrounded by great views it's hard to beat.

mmmmmmmmm good food. Yummy sandwiches and nice environment. The dutch crunch bread is peak

Asked what time they would be open and how late the deli bar would be open and planned around this. Surprise! The deli was closed when we got there, despite having confirmed hours that same day. Looked like it would be mediocre at best but it was close. But given that they can't even stick to the hours they tell you on the same day, I wouldn't count on anything else being of a particularly high standard. read more

Took a drive out to Point Reyes and after hiking in Bear Valley decided to look for a sandwich on our way out to the beach and happened upon the Inverness Store. The little deli inside the store had quite a few options available for sandwiches but I settled on the Turkey and Avocado on a Dutch crust. Mike got the Reuben with sauerkraut and Swiss on a soft roll. They toasted the bread which was a nice addition. Sandwiches were simple but I swear they always taste better when made by someone else. Plenty of meat with fresh toppings. We'd stop in again if ever in the area and wanting a quick sandwich. read more
