Unlike anything else that exists in the Boothbay area, the store offers a wonderful community experience where neighbors and friends meet.

Here you’ll find all kinds of epicurean delights from around the globe, such as cheeses from near and far, cured bacon from Kentucky and chocolates from Europe.

We have a wide array of freshly baked morning goodies, fruit pies, cracking good sandwiches, thin crust hand tossed pizzas and our selection of soups and chowders changes daily.

The cooler and shelves hold an eclectic mix of world wines and beers which are constantly changing.

We would like to welcome you in.

The store is open seven days a week from May 1st to Columbus day.  Opening at 7am sharp, the extractor fan blows the appetizing aroma of breakfast pizza's
cooking down route 96.

In the afternoon's you might find the aroma has changed to the sweet joy of peanut butter cookies being baked.


Arthur the newspaper delivery fella generally makes the Boston Globe and New York Times appear at a reasonable time every morning, the coffees are brewed, placed in their racks and the day is set.

During every weekend in the summer the kitchen make donuts the old traditional way at a labor intensive five at a time.  Hand cut and deep fried, they taste great.
Compliment your sugared donut with a cup of Indonesian coffee.

In 2008 we started to sell soft serve ice cream, long may this tradition continue!
We were shocked to learn that there are only 2 more places in the region that offer soft serve.  So as a result we go through a lot of ice cream!  Chocolate and Vanilla are the order of the day, a tradition on a hot day. 

During the inclement weather of 2009 we had a great ice cream season.  It seems that nothing will stop people treating themselves to a cone.  I once read that New England exceeds the rest of the US for ice cream consumption. We love that idea.

This year we have several new products that will make the General Store the only place  for that soft serve experience. Watch for the breaking news.

As well as soft serve we are proud to sell a good selection of ice cream quarts tubs from the acclaimed Shain's of Maine based in Sanford.
 They produce a rich creamy product which has fans coming back for more all year.

In our freezer you'll also find Sea Dog biscuits and the utterly awesome Harbor Bars.  You just have to have one bite to want the whole thing,  the treat consists of two cookie biscuits topped with a rich Belgian chocolate sandwiching a big hunk of vanilla ice cream. Very decadent.
