Port Clyde General Store

This little gem of a general store is a foodie’s paradise. It’s really more gourmet market than general store. Don’t miss it if you’re in the area.

Delicious turkey sub! Joyce, behind the deli counter took sub making tips from my other half! It was quite entertaining! Great selection of adult lemonade a in the cooler. Staff very friendly! Super spot for a quick stop!

Stopped into the Port Clyde General Store to grab a breakfast sandwich before loading the ferry over to Monhegan Island. It’s a quaint little shop but has most essential for any day trip or even an overnight on Monhegan. You can crab snacks, soda, beer/​wine, prepared food, bulk candy, produce, etc. We stopped in specifically to grab a few breakfast sandwiches for the ride over, as we had not eaten yet. We arrived to Port Clyde around 9:50 a.m. for the 10:30 a.m. ferry (since you have to check in by 10:00 a.m.) and placed the order right when we got there. It took FOREVER! It was about 10:20 a.m. (30 minutes later) and the ferry captain was shouting to us to get on the boat or they were going to leave without us. It was a true #struggle because we were starving and had already paid for our sandwiches, but if we missed the ferry the next one wasn’t until 4:30 p.m. We asked the kitchen staff repeatedly the status, because if they weren’t started (after 30 minutes!) we would just head on but if they were close to being done, we would risk it and wait. They kitchen really had no idea what they were doing, all very slow to answer questions and did not have a pulse on what was going on. They finally got us the sandwiches at 10:29 a.m. and we SPRINTED down to the ferry. They were delicious, however I don’t know that they were worth the wait! Word to the wise: if you are hoping to get a hot sandwich and catching the ferry make sure you either allow 30 – 45 minutes or you constantly check in with the staff so they remember they are supposed to be cooking you something! Three stars for the selection available in the general store, and the quality of the sandwiches once we got them, but taking two stars off because the timing was seriously ridiculous.

This is a cute little general store in St. George, ME. I stopped here with a friend because we had heard that the place has amazing pumpkin donuts. Sadly, the day we arrived, no pumpkin donuts were available. However, the super nice and helpful counter lady/​cook recommended an awesome maple pumpkin bundt cake that she had personally baked. It looked glorious and my friend and I shared a slice. Incredible! The slice was richly flavored, moist, pumpkin-​ey, and caramal-​ey. We also picked up some lobster rolls, Utz’s Old Bay seasoning flavored chips (if you’ve never had these before, you must try them), and cream soda for an impromptu picnic at the lighthouse. The lobster rolls were splendid. They were served traditionally in a toasted hot dog bun and the lobster meat was lightly dressed in mayo and herbs (perhaps dill?). The rolls made for a spectacular picnic at the Port Clyde lighthouse. Definitely hit this place up if you need a bite to eat near St. George.

Great little store with everything from Hot prepared menu along with produce and snacks. Oh and malt beverages. We had the piazza and it was very good.
