Purchased a case of water for the crew which was staged outside of the store in direct southern exposure and 2 guys opened it and spit it out because it had an awful flavor of chemicals or plastic. I went to return it a couple days later when I had time and explained to the store owner what happened and I quote " I would like to return this case of water because it went bad or something and we don't want it, she replied I don't want it, water doesn't go bad, we sell water all day long, I replied that it might not be good because it is in plastic in direct sunlight all day long? And she was very rude and said so what do you want your money back or something, I tried again to let her know that it was bad and she continued being rude so I keep your money and the water I will never come back! read more

It doesn't look like much. Nothing fancy. Small store with private lot. But...outstanding soup - the fresh seafood gumbo is absolutely stunning. The Cuban sandwich, top notch. The prices quite reasonable. The service, friendly and attentive. Go for soup and a sandwich!! read more

Wow so nice to stop in this morning. I was looking fir a locally owned business and this place caught my eye from Rte 64. I was able to get myself a fresh made sandwich and coffee and a few other necessities for today's yoga class. Great convenience reminds me of the general stores of days gone only opened in December 2021. read more

Wonderful owners!!! They have the best cuban sandwich, lobster bisque a must and so delicious!!!! Very friendly and clean place.

I've started stopping here every Friday to pick up lunch after hearing so many rave reviews. The soups are on a rotating schedule, and there is always 2 options to choose from. I've had the Lobster Bisque, The Gumbo, and the Clam Chowder. All are awesome, but the Clam Chowder is the best I've ever had. I usually pair a sandwich with my soup, and my go to's are the Chicken Salad Wrap or the Italian Hoagie. All are fresh made every day and ready to go in the deli case. I've also heard the Cuban is pretty awesome so I imagine I'll be trying it soon. The owners are super friendly, and the market is well stocked with all the odds and ends you may need for a beach trip or a snack. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

First of all, the owners are super nice people with an excellent work ethic, focussing on their obviously much-appreciated customers. These are relatively local folks who strive diligently to provide us with superlative service and foods, especially breakfast sandwiches, potato soup, and incredibly delicious gumbo. I urge all of us to support small local businesses, particularly this one. You'll be glad you did. read more

Excellent little neighborhood market with a great selection of homemade fresh sandwiches, salads, sides and drinks. Delicious fresh food menu for lunch and dinner. Fresh homemade gumbo (seafood or chicken) and soup daily. Pet food and treats too, bistro tables for seating. I'm living nearby and this is on the way to beach! Btw, Cuban sandwich was delicious!!! read more

I thought it was expensive for what it was. Soup was salty and the Cuban had been sitting there wrapped for quite a while.

Fabulous couple that car about out pets amd health! Im so greatfull to have them right up the street! read more

Friendly service and excellent food at a fair price. Delicious chicken salad! And the food truck will be available next week!

The seafood Gumbo is quite possibly the best I've ever had. The staff and owners are very nice. The Coffee is always fresh, and they have a great ready to go sandwich section. This place is 5 stars all day, every day. read more

What a hidden delight, in plain sight. They have your standard convenience store fare: cold beer, cigarettes, and lotto. And yes, you can still get your Macho Man Slim Jims, but you can also get a clam chowder equal or better than the Seafood Shack, pulled pork better than the pork people down the street, pretty decent Italian sub and a lobster bisque compatible to any fine dining establishment in town. All this said, and there is the food truck with a great selection of freshly cooked sandwiches and meals. So, when I stop for my Heineken and lotto, I still have quite a wide variety of food to choose from. All of this and nice people to serve you. What more can you ask for? read more

They have the freshest homemade soups salads and sandwiches around. All made in house , much better than just eating the fast food places in the area. Their store has a little bit of everything in it from people food to pet food. Owners are great people! Fast friendly service with a very clean store, stop in and see them! read more

this is truly a new gem! we stopped in to get some soup and not only we're we met with the kindest people but some of the best soup I've ever had. you would be silly not to stop in and give this place a stop! #supportsmallbusiness read more

This pets and people market is super clean, GREAT Prices for the specialty cat and dog food they had! I wanted to check it out for a while and needed a drink as I was looking for where to stop I glad I finally got to go! I also needed cat food which I didn't realize Id find there but I got a healthy brand with healthy ingredients. On halloween they are having a social event for pets and people with free food and goodie bags. The owner is super friendly and good people. A safe clean market that also caters to pets! Glad it is there! You need to stop by for your and your pets snacking needs! read more

The owners of this store always go above and beyond to provide great customer service. I frequent this shop, and every time I'm there, they go out of their way to help me find what I'm looking for and ask about my day. In the fast paced society we live in, it is a truly rare gem to find anyone willing to slow down to acknowledge the people they are serving, much less go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and taken care of. I would recommend this shop any time! read more
