It offers pretty much your typical convenience store fare: candy, cigs, chips, drinks, a small selection of groceries, and (of course) beer. It's a great place to pop in if you need something quick and don't want to make the trek to the supermarket. They also offer a great selection of local beer as well as the usual national brands. Would be great to see them expand to offer a growler bar or even a deli - both of which would surely be popular in this area!

I always stop at this store to get soft ice cream on the way home from hiking, and this time I told…read morea friend about it and she insisted we stop to get ice cream. The store has changed since I last stopped in a couple of years ago. They still had the ice cream, and they had just brought out a fresh pizza too so we had to get a slice of that as well, which was really good after a day of hiking outside when the temperature never hit 60 degrees. The soft ice cream was just as remembered, excellent! So from reading the other reviews it looks like the store has new owners, so please don't change things too much, I've always liked this little store the way it is, although the pizza was a nice addition.

When I saw their only storefront and factory was located on Orcas Island, it was instantly added to the travel agenda. The lady working at the front offered incredible customer service. She shared the history behind the brand and provided a pairing guide for each jam I tasted. You can tell their team members are both passionate and knowledgeable on all their products. The store even stocks small batch and seasonal jams that won't last too long on the website. While I highly recommend visiting the island, this isn't mandatory to get your hands on their goods. You can always order jam via their website to spice up your next cheese board!
