Monterey General Store

I live much of the year in Monterey and frequent the store a few times a month. Had a few questions today and ended up in an enlightening conversation with Scott, the Chef/owner. He gave me a new perspective on the challenges of operating a high quality year round general store and eating place in a community with Monterey's unique and wonderful demographic. I can be a feisty and tough critic; however, Scott addressed my issues and questions with professionalism and charm. He definitely won me over to become at least a weekly customer.

Friendly atmosphere. Good food. Great baked goods. Town hangout place. Super coffee. Local and national newspapers. It's everything a general store should be.

Pulled right out of Cambridge or Brooklyn, with delicious baked goods and sandwiches, trendy prepared food items and home goods, with a cute little cafe seating area. Love this place.

Just the sweetest little store with delicious sandwiches, good coffee, and great baked goods.

Love the general store ambience, glad the Store is here. The dining area (breakfast, lunch, good soups, good coffee) overlooks a river, and there's an outdoor porch where you can not only see but hear it. Also good baked goods, more brands of high-end potato chips than you have ever seen, NY Times, fancy soft drinks. The prices are always a bit surprisingly high, but maybe that's necessary to keep the store in business, which I am glad it is.

Great little store and tasty lunch but no refills on the coffee.

Our favorite breakfast spot in the Berkshires. The oatmeal is my go to order.

Cozy, quiet neighborhood spot.

Excellent sandwiches!!!
