Brooklin General Store

Better than the average general store in Downeast. There’s a small cheese section, as well as wine. The quality of everything we've tried so far -- the breakfast sandwiches, the warm muffins and cinnamon buns (if you get their early!), and the egg salad and chicken salad which we've tried for lunch. They also have pizza and daily specials — I love the chef’s smoked ribs while my husband goes for his meatball sub for a treat. To top it, they carry a bunch of local good, the pantry staples all in the first wooden aisle, great local coffee and teas to grab, fresh foraged mushrooms when available, bags of salad greens in the summer and other local produce, and they cook up a fabulous feast of in-house made foods like their breakfast sandwiches, or burgers, or whatever special they are making, plus cold sandwiches or great deviled eggs for lunch, all throughout the day, and they have insanely good baked goods . . . But you can also get your regular "don't feel like driving all the way to the grocery store to get that one thing" type of buys, like Oakland milk, a frozen treat on a hot day, or salt for tomorrow's snow, regular household supplies, or a can of bug spray when you run out and just need it.

They have nice tables to sit and eat and read the paper inside and outside, with benches along the storefront to sit in on in the fall and sip on some hot coffee and watch the town.

And, probably one of the most important things for the locals like me, at least if you're one of us who leave the tank running on empty too often... they still have gas! Two pumps, right out front.

Overall, really great job! Glad the first post-renovation summer season went well (but also happy to always have a parking spot available post-vacationers. 😉) Thanks for all you do!

Cool and has everything you need, maybe not everything you want. Their sandwiches are amazing. Better then lobster rolls and when asked if they had dish soap for sale they had just run pit but offered to put some in a dish for us. Good people

Great place a little high on prices however it's still a great place to get food

call before trying to go, they are not open when their listing says they are, they never have fuel when you need it and don't restock basic items like drinks. if you are looking for a gift shop or alcohol then this is your place, if you're a local that relies on a local store instead of having to drive 15-20min to blue hill or Sedgwick you're out of luck. endlessly frustrating as a brooklin resident.

O my God. Where do I begin? What a colossal joke of a store. Open late closes early. Ridiculously under stocked and over priced. Doesn't take cash.

Very nice store, plenty of space to move around and view their vast selection of quality item's. We purchased Italian sandwiches from them the sandwiches were made with very high quality ingredients. We also purchased a small blueberry pie from them which was delicious. Outside their store they were picnic tables that we were able to sit at to enjoy our sandwiches and pie.

Cute BUT wish they would have prices on more of their products. I would have bought more items but the lady was alone on register and she always had someone up there. I didn't want to keep asking how much everything was. Gas pumps were old school, super fun.

Very pleasant for a outback /out of the way store and great little town.
2 thumbs up 👍👍

Bougie take on the Maine General Store concept, not that I'm complaining, visitor from LA that I am. Literally no place else in Brooklin to buy similar items so, make sure its open. They have pizza, sandwiches, plenty of drinks and general store stuff. Had the pizza at the end of the day, very edible. Not open Mondays, they don't take cash.

I am only leaving 1 star only because it's the only way to leave a review. Otherwise you wouldn't receive any stars from me. You guys are still at $3.00 per gallon of gas! No one is even close to that price! I took my daughter in there to get a gallon of ice cream and the price was $7.00! That will be the day that I spend that much money on something that I can get for $2.99 a gallon at every other store .really to bad that you are so greedy! Because you have great employees!!I heard you are only interested in the tourists. What about the hard working people that live in the town? I will never step foot in that store again. You will never ever get another dime from me!what you are doing should be illegal!. I hope the state shuts you down and you get what you deserve. You are a thief. Have a good day if it's possible for a miserable greedy person like your self to have one.
