So the place has been remodeled including new appliances, gas pumps, refrigerators, kitchen and…read moredispensers. I'm willing to give this place a second chance and it's come through. Cleaner and more efficient. Particularly, their beer selections now include many local microbrews. Best of all, they replaced all the gasoline tanks that were old. The new tanks are state of the art Their sandwiches are well made, lots of meats and fresh vegetables. As well, they have the only car wash in town. And they employ local kids who would have to travel long distances for employment.

Repeated mask problems during COVID. Recently a gruff burly woman making sandwiches was wearing her…read moremask below her chin--in this time when New Hampshire generally and New London specifically is experiencing highest numbers of COVID cases and hospitalizations. Customer in front of me asked the lady about it and she moved the mask below her nose. She looked like she was going to spit in the sandwich as soon as the customer wasn't looking. I was in there to order 5 sandwiches for a family lunch, but decided for our health not to and instead just bought a couple of bottles of water. Jake's lost around $50 on us that day for everything we would have bought for lunches (sandwiches, chips, dessert, etc.) Today I returned. Two customers walking around not wearing masks. I asked the nice cashier about it and she confided it's wisest for her not to comment on masks given some people who come would not take it well--and I knew precisely what she meant. Some pretty motley looking folks seem to frequent Jake's. A red-faced swaggery customer behind me--not wearing a mask--overheard me ask about masks in the store, and he starting taunting me for the type of mask I was wearing. I decided I didn't want to be anywhere near someone like that, or be in that store, so I left. Other than this clear problem with masks and sometimes quite seedy looking people working in the store (not the female cashiers who are nice and seem pretty normal) and sometimes pretty creepy looking folks hanging around the parking lot, Jake's has really good coffee, an interesting and wide variety of foods, and their homemade sandwiches tend to be delicious. You can also get Vermont made ice cream and home-baked dog biscuits, and other assorted things. When I got back to my parents' house I mentioned what happened. My brother said he'd never go to Jake's for that reason and my Dad said their friends don't go there anymore due to lack of masks (they're older).

Everytime I go here I'm greeted with a smile, a hello, and a question. I dont know why they ask me…read moremy middle name every time I go but hey, I'm curious about everyone's middle name as well. Oh, they also ask me if I need any help finding anything. Come to think of it, I'm not sure if they do ask me for my middle name or if I'm hoping for someone to ask me mine. Oh jeesh. In any case, this is THE place to go if you want some good beer. And if you're like myself you'll be tickled pink that they have a wonderful selection of....Belgian beer! With IPAs flooding every brewhouse from here to kingdom come it's so refreshing to be able to suck down a nice, boozy tripel. And another thing! The past two times I've shown my ugly mug there, while waiting in line, a man (maybe the owner?) has come up behind me and surprised me with a chilled version of the beer I was holding. Mystery Man: "Would you like a chilly set of beers, my good sir?" Moi: "Why yes. Yes, I would. I love you." And one last thing. Just today I went there and talked with the clerk for a hot minute. A woman in front of me was wearing an Army of Darkness shirt. He was talking with her about it. If you know and love Army of Darkness that's 5 stars right there. Boom(stick)! 5 stars. It's that easy. Hell, Mystery Man with the cold beer could have told me he spit on them and I'd still have given them 5 stars. This place rules. P.s. My middle name is James!!!!!!!

A lot of love for this place in general, as the chill but informed vibe makes buying adult…read morebeverages an absolute delight. They focus on local, but rep a wide range of producers (esp on the beer and cider front), so you're sure to find something for every palate. BUT HERES THE THING AND IT'S RETROACTIVE SO Y'ALL SUCKERS WON'T BE ABLE TO CAPITALIZE! They had a decent surplus of Bantam Wunderkind, and as the Somerville cidery (and makers of my single favorite cider) recently shuddered, they were happy to sell us their entire stock of the juice to help us prolong the inevitable. And for that, five easy stars.
