Saxapahaw General Store

Such a cute store with a great vibe. There are so many vegan and gluten free options. Everyone is so kind and welcoming, I just had to go there everyday I was visiting Saxapahaw.

This roadside cafe has a surprisingly delicious menu for pizza, sandwiches, great burgers, etc., but it’s a little worn down by age, and the cramped atmosphere isn’t the most comfortable. It’s a well-stocked (but small) general grocery store combined with a casual dining room and plenty of outside seating too. The store features a lot of natural foods, locally farmed dairy products, fine wines and beers, fresh baked local breads, (gluten-free too), and unusual condiments you don’t see in large grocery chain stores. The staff is reasonably friendly and efficient but rather aloof, in my experience.
