Last Stop Variety

Great little sandwich shop on the road. Hand made sandwiches that are big and filling. A decent size list of different things to choose from. Turkey clubs to turkey roast and very limited in seafood only while it last. They also have a ton of different things to buy, drinks, chips, and small nic nacks to choose from.

I love this place. The staff is very sweet and accommodating. Their sandwiches are perfect — even the premade ones — they’re giant, delicious, stuffed with quality fixings. They also have delicious baked goods — I love their muffins, cookies and especially their macaroons.
They also have a cute store with gift items, art, etc., and a solid selection of grocery items.

The last stop has horrible hours… they do have great muffins and cinnamon buns but they only have it on certain days so you will never know when they will have it. That goes with most of the thing they sell actually.

stop in town before this ‘last stop’. this is a mishmash of a place where one has to ask 20 questions to get a sandwich, from the owner. went on a sunday and the door was unlocked, lights were on, neon coffee sign on, and soups of the day listed. we were told that they aren’t really open on sundays. after we went through the ordeal of ordering a sandwich we watched a huge fly flitting about in the bakery case. the sandwich was served on squishy ‘air bread’ that was supposed to be whole wheat.

Stopped here on the way to Eastern Point because it was the «last stop» for coffee. I wanted to try a latte but I guess the owner was on the phone and the guy helping was just a regular manning the cash register to help her. So, I had a passable coffee. Had to kind of lead him through the sale. He didn’t seem to be much help.
But, I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt that I walked in at a bad time because the shop was so cute. Lots of things I would look at if I had more time.
The baked goods were wonderful! I had a beautiful, fresh, huge, strawberry muffin! Loved every bite! My friend got a lemon square and it was equally scrumptious. I’ll definitely stop there again and give it another shot.

Excellent soups and sandwiches! They do make a lot of what they serve from scratch. Good wholesome food, atmosphere, and people. I had a turkey club sandwich that was very flavorful and healthy. The clam chowder was a little thin (I do like a thicker chowder normally), but the taste was so good that I didn’t mind one bit! The owner suggested a walk around rocky neck after lunch which was a very good walk indeed. If you are ever in Gloucester for lunch or breakfast (excellent baked goods as well), definitely stop by. You would be hard pressed to find this kind of quality on the main drag!

Chile Choice Products now has their food here. Also their amazing Chili Con Queso Dip is available again… Thank you

Quaint yet cool, this one stop convenience store has just about everything anyone would need. Blueberry muffins? Yep. Dog food? Of course. Tampons? You bet. Delicious food? Without fail.
I actually hesitate to call it a convenience store because convenience stores generally have the reputation of being somewhat unpleasant/​unclean/​what-​have-​you establishments. You want to get what you need and get out as quickly as possible. But not here. Here, you will want to sit and grab a sandwich and chat with the employees or owners and relax. I am delighted by this place when I go in and I don’t know how many other «convenience stores» I can say that about.

It is now under new ownership! I think it has definitely gotten better. There is definitely tons more variety and local items. LSV Diet Root Beer! Yum. And some great little maple syrups, mustards, ginger candy. I come here very often now, instead of just once in a blue moon.

I was led to Last Stop Variety under false caffeine pretenses. A co-​worker swore that they had the best coffee, and most flavors. Of course, I went the very next morning upon hearing that! The coffee selection can best be described as ‘MEH’. I’m sorry, but 4 flavors of Boston Bean coffee is not a great selection. Not when I have Lone Gull and Pleasant St. Tea Company right down the street.
I suppose if you’re working around Rocky Neck or live there then it’s a great option for you. For me, it was out of the way and didn’t live up to my expectations. Prices were fine, and they offered a lot of lunch and breakfast items. Service was also fine. And yes, there was quite a crowd in there already.
I’d go again, but I don’t recommend going all the way there just because you think they may have great coffee. It’s honestly nothing special, unless I’m totally missing a secret back room or something.

LOVE this place for the homemade muffins and the very friendly staff. A great place to grab a sandwich, drink, or anything else in a hurry. No pretense, mostly locals, near the beach and the arts community. Excellent prices and rarely a line.

Keeping with the healthy eating theme, my dad and I decided to walk a few miles to try his favorite muffin place this morning. This place seems popular as some of the muffin choices were gone by 8:30. My dad and split a muffin called «Morning Glory» and a cranberry nut muffin. The muffins were fresh and large. The cranberries in the muffin were flavorful. The «Morning Glory» muffin was similar to a carrot cake but in muffin form. The carrot muffin consisted of a ring of almost cheesecake consistency, truly delicious. I’ve convinced myself that the vegetable muffin counts as one vegetable serving on my diet plan so not only was I eating a great muffin but I was was probably losing weight by doing so. I’ve been also trying to eat more fruit so I got a blueberry muffin to go that I’m planning on grilling later today.
