This place is adorable. I like that there’s a counter and a bench outside so you can grab a coffee and a sandwich or a pastry. Cute gifts, and some special foods for the house. It is a great find in the neighborhod.

Finally got a chance to stop by Willoughby General. Will definitely be back. The store has a nice range of fancy things for when you need a gift or a treat(candles, etc.) but also some good everyday things like coffee, cheese, bread, etc. I had coffee and the cinnamon bun. My friend bought a candle. What’s nice about an independently owned store is that you get to see a narrowed-down selection of items that the owner recommends in some way, versus the endless selection of the internet. What’s good about Willoughby General is the range of things on offer. Some fancy, some regular. Some luxury, some practical. Definitely one of those«never know what you’ll find» stores, but at the very least you will find a reasonably priced cup of good coffee in a pocket of Brooklyn that doesn’t a ton of coffee options.

I’ve been wanting to check this place out. I did and was unfortunately disappointed. It’s not much of a «general» store as I had hoped. It has a very limited selection. It’s overpriced and I hate to say it but the epitome of gentrification. I moved to this neighborhood to enjoy cheaper/modest deals but obviously it’s on the rise. There are«nicer» places popping up everywhere. I think this place needs more focus if it wants to remain under this disguise of bohemian/friendly /but actually expensive af. A bodega offers more of life’s necessities than this place. Maybe they should have studied that model and made it better. But it’s very well designed and the lady was friendly. There’s a lot of room for improvement, should they choose to give their customers something more. Sorry guys. Truth hurts and so do your prices — $ 18 for a little candle.

I love Willoughby General. Rae and Barbara create a warm and welcoming environment for all who come in. Coffee is on point, and I always leave with some kind of pastry. Great neighborhood spot.

Finally-exactly what this neighborhood needs! Great coffee and pastries. Cinnamon rolls are delicious. There is a welcoming and relaxed character to the place. Cute interior and the staff is friendly and helpful. Decently priced too. I will definitely be coming here often. Can’t wait to try some of their unique products.

While in Brooklyn for business the last several weeks I was able to stop by and was pleased to find a very thoughtful selection of products in this beautiful little shop. The owners are welcoming but low-key which I appreciate in a relatively small space. I can absolutely recommend the coffee, amazing local honey, another honey with heat and a stellar brownie I was supposed to bring my daughter but couldn’t resist while I was stuck in traffic(Sorry). Also, a nice selection of vintage objects, cook-books, etc. I did by one of the infamous $ 7.50 tins of tuna but may be saving that for a special occasion! I think this business is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

Great spot. Check it out. Good people with good product. The layout of the store is incredible and boasts of some rear items.

I finally stopped in this place the other day. I really dig the space, the vibe and the availability of good coffee beans, meats, cheese and pastries. The ham and cheese croissant was one of the best I’ve had in ages. I haven’t explored the other inventory too much yet — it’s just a relief to have some quality indulgences in the neighborhood. The owners seem really down to earth, welcoming and friendly. I’d love to see local folks support this business.

Another very overrated, new place in this area: the 2 owner ladies are nice, or rather the older one is more consistently nice, maybe the younger one’s becoming an unfun pill-of-a-person because they’re not getting enough business, & how could things be any different when THEYHARDLYHAVEANYTHINGFORSALEINHERE?! You feel like maybe you’re inside a gallery or a movie set, in that ur inside a fake-shop because there’s simply not much for sale. Do you really think $ 7.5 tiny cans of tuna & expensive packages of sliced ham are all this neighborhood needs? Its a nice little place you have here, but you need to round it out with more common staples of nyc life that a wider variety of people want(albeit with ur sophisticated spin), or this place will simply not survive.

Just came in here for a quick iced coffee and decided to grab a ham and cheese croissant too. Coffee is great. Food is delicious. The woman who helped me was so sweet and friendly. If I lived in this neighborhood, I would come every day.

Great little store featuring products from local businesses. They carry things from coffee to pomade — I love this place!
