I'm new to the world of wood pellet smoking and stopped in the see Blair and get some advice. He spent an hour with me suggesting and tasting various rubs and sauces to use on my next cook. I walked out a new committed customer, looking forward to returning. If you're a newby like me or a veteran Pit Master, like Blair, this is the place to come to for your supplies, rubs, and sauces. Thank you, Blair. I'll be seeing you again soon. read more

Excellent place to find smoking wood ! They even have a "meat cave"' reach in refrigerator that has amazing cuts of meat ! Very good dry rub seasonings and liquid seasonings also I bought some Japanese bbq sauce that I could almost just drink by itself. On the separate side of the store has many cool items that my wife would want to, and nearly has, bought everything. Good job Chuck and Welcome Mike ! read more

I was searching for BBQ stuff and so I went to my handy Yelp app and found this store. I'm so happy that I found a new spot . Can Cal is adorable!! It's well stocked with different rubs , bbq sauces, pellets, everything you could possibly need for a great BBQ. They even have a little fridge with meats . Store has 2 sections. Right when you walk in you are in the BBQ section. You walk into the other room and it's full of cute things . Wine glasses, cookbooks, stuff for your home. Love!! This would be a great place to get someone you love a gift . All the employees are super friendly!! I can not wait to come back and bring my man! read more

I planned on supporting a small business. I smoke just about every week and needed supplies & wanted to try new (to me) items. However the guy seemed lost/unfriendly when I tried making simple, friendly conversation. I tried asking a question about one of his products but he didn't know the answer and he didn't seem to want to gain a customer or talk to me at all. Running a business is more than standing behind a counter. You mught might want to start welcoming new customers or thank them for stopping in, normal, friendly things to gain repeat customers. I guess great customer service is rare these days. read more

From the Business

Specialties

We are your one-stop shop for bbq rubs and seasonings. We sell GMG and PK grills, knives, and prime beef in the "meat cave". Stop in and see us for all your barbecuing needs.

History

Established in 2015.

We started our business by passionate friends and family that were pellet grill users. They were introduced to Lumberjack pellets and the word of quality grilling pellets spread like wildfire. Slowly we added award winning rubs and sauces to our supply, which enhanced the grilling enthusiasm. Our goal is to make everybody a grill master.

I was a frequent customer at Cencal and took over operations on 8/1/24. Come down and say hello!

I was unimpressed by this one. As soon as you enter this store, you are met with a very unpleasant, almost rancid, smell. I couldn't quite place my finger on what the smell was, but it was definitely not something you want to smell when you enter a place that sells food. We checked out the produce and meat sections first. The fruits and vegetables seemed fresh. The meat section, however, was a bit concerning. All of the plastic bins where the large cuts of meat were stored were filled with meat juices. Although the refrigerated section was cold, I was still a little concerned about the sanitation. Unless you are truly buying in bulk for a restaurant or event setting, the prices are very comparable, if not more expensive, than other grocery stores like WinCo. The smaller bag of potatoes, for example, was significantly more expensive than the same size bag at Costco. The giant bag of potatoes though, was very cheap in comparison. They definitely have a great variety of items that your typical grocery won't carry though. A lot of the items are unique. The sheer amount of drink/cafe syrups was astounding. They have every single thing you may need for a restaurant from take-out containers to sauce and jelly packets. I am not familiar with the pricing of these items, but this seems like a convenient place to buy them.

The store was super clean and busy the whole time we were there, which is usually a good sign. They had one kiosk to order from, but the system was pretty self explanatory and we placed our order within a few minutes. We ordered two Yo! Oreo rolled ice creams and added Nutella drizzle, brownie bites, whipped cream, and extra crushed Oreos. Wow... these things were dense and heavy. There was a lot of ice cream and toppings. The kids couldn't even finish half of theirs, so of course I had to go into dad mode and help them finish it. For the amount of ice cream you get, it's actually a great value. I also liked that the ice cream is a little firm at first because it makes it last longer while you're eating it. Every bite feels like a fresh bite with all the toppings mixed in. The staff was very friendly and wholesome. They checked in with us and made sure we knew we could ask if we needed anything. We waited about 7-10 minutes for our order, which we didn't mind at all because it was definitely worth the wait. They also had games in the shop, which helped keep the kids occupied while we waited. Overall, this is a great dessert spot for families, and I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area or worth a drive to it!

Once inside, you'll notice the pick-up spot is right at the front, with the order counter further back. The space itself is on the smaller side, but the outdoor area more than makes up for it. Giant Connect Four and Giant Jenga? Yes, please, perfect for lounging. The menu is on a TV screen behind the counter, and fair warning: the font runs pretty small, so it helps to know what you want ahead of time. And trust me, you'll want to know because beyond the classic coffee drinks, they have a seriously fun lineup of unique flavors and specialty drinks that are absolutely worth exploring. I was personally lured in by their Banana Bread Latte from an Instagram post. Guilty as charged. You can also build your own drink, the available flavors are posted on the back of the espresso machine near the register. Came in on a Friday at lunchtime and it was busyyyyyy - two ladies running the show and keeping up like champs. My drink took about 20 minutes, which my husband wasn't thrilled about, but honestly? Totally worth it. They also take phone orders, which can add to the wait but pro tip: call ahead next time and skip the line! Now, the best part I have to shout out: in addition to the standard 12, 16, and 24 oz sizes, they offer a 32 oz Big Kahuna. This is not a drill, coffee lovers. I ordered the 32 oz Iced Banana Bread Latte and it was a solid 10/10. They also carry snacks, pastries, and a few little extras to browse while you wait. As a local, I'll definitely be back!
