This review is not for the grocery store part (which is decent, and the best bet for 30 miles…read morearound), or the camping supplies (which are excellent, really comprehensive for the basic set of things you may need but have forgotten, or the general hardware and goods (better than the Department Store -- see also -- for most things). I'm reviewing Charlie John's as a Bookstore-Café. Because there's one little table in the back by the deli, and we had (seriously) a delightful time there after a few dozen banal visits for groceries and supplies. First off, the made to order sandwiches -- we got egg salad and tuna salad -- are quite good. The Broccoli salad was as good a one as I've ever had, although I suspect that was because there were little bits of ham in it we didn't notice until after we started eating it (we are not dogmatic vegetarians, and occasionally fall off the wagon anyway). The deli staff were extremely pleasant, and I don't mean this as a knock on any particular establishment, but during the busy summer season that really stands out among other more harried employees of some businesses I shan't mention. And then we had the added pleasure of being able to talk directly to a half dozen patrons, as we were blocking the access to pork roll, ground turkey, and littleneck clams from our perch at the sole table. Second: the bookstore. CJ's has a half a row of books in the camping section, plus another stub for maps and guidebooks, and honestly, I think I've been in every bookstore in the ADK, I think this has the best-curated books of local interest. They have some truly small-press low-print-run titles here, from a biography of Nick Stoner to a history of the Moose Plains Wilderness. It's fun just to browse and while you can't buy everything, we always make it a point to buy something. That's when it occurred to me: we were having as enjoyable a time as we have at bookstore cafés. I mean, this sure beats Barnes and Noble. So having not bothered to review Charlie John's before -- what else is there to say about the best small grocery store in the ADK that hasn't been said in other reviews -- and convey to you that you now have a secret rainy day destination. That is the Charlie John's Bookstore Café.

A great market with food, drinks of all kinds, souvenirs, and hardware! Truly a one-stop shop. The…read morecashiers are all very kind.

best produce around. always fresh and full of variety. the produce manager is always friendly,…read morewilling to help with anything, and knowledgable about his fruits. they also offer a great variety of locally grown produce. the deli has a great selection of specialty cheese, best selection around. the meat departments standards on fresh are clearly high, even if the product that has been reduced in price for quick sale it looks like it was cut in front of you. the store is very well kept, organized and clean! checkout is smooth every time i have been in. even when they seem busy, they have a great system to keep lines short, even the store manager has been checking out customers. if you want to save money on gas and pay extra for groceries go to price chopper. when i shop i prefer to save money on groceries and get a product i can be 100% happy with, thats why i shop at hannaford.

Stopped by this super cute grocery store while in town for a vacation. It has everything you need…read moreto bring to your hotel room or Lake House and have an enjoyable time. Just off the main drag in a plaza, this supermarket is great for grabbing essentials, beer, and more. It's the main grocery store servicing the entire Lake Placid area. I used the bathrooms which were clean and easy to find. They had the makeup remover wipes I had forgotten, and great snack options for the drive back home. I would recommend anyone coming into town to stop here!
