Just dropped in for snacks during my ride around the island. Staff were friendly and helpful. I'll plan to stop here on bike rides to fuel up and support their business

A great little general store for most of your needs. Don't expect a big variety of one item, but in general during our stay on the island we found everything we needed there.
