Dillon Beach General Store is an absolute coastal gem! Grabbing an ice cream cone here after spending time by the water makes for the perfect day--it's genuinely a real treat every single time. Spots like this are precisely why we pay too much in taxes to live in California; the incredible vibes and beautiful local stops make every penny worth it. Friendly service, great atmosphere, and unbeatable beach town charm. read more

I love Dillon beach but it's changed a lot over the years. We've been coming here for a long time, but the selection at the general store went downhill after the change in ownership and the prices are insane. They justify the increase in costs because there is no other store within 20 miles. The problem is, there just isn't much to buy and that's besides the price of everything. Staff is always nice and courteous. Just wish the product was better read more

Great little shop to get your supplies or souvenirs. The service is great. The products are amazing. Definitely to check it out when you're in Dillon beach you will love it. read more

I was pleasantly surprised that this general store had such high quality merchandise. The children's section had unique toys and wonderful books. For such a small store, it was packed with wonderful finds for all ages. Their T-shirt and sweatshirt selection was well stocked. I highly recommend making a stop here, when you visit Dillon Beach. read more

Convenient, sundries and what not. Friendly staff. Within walking distance from where I'm staying. Go here if you need butter, wine, sandwiches, coffee and more. read more

This was a cute little grocery store. I was thrilled to see a selection of gluten free and dairy free food, though I confess I didn't check the prices. They had lots of Christmas decor at very reasonable prices. Some fun clothing and gifty items. We ordered hot cocoa, one with almond milk and one with oat milk. Both good. Seemed reasonably priced. Glad to have a hot drink on a cold day to take to the beach. The staff person was quiet and friendly. I would definitely go back. read more

This general store! Wow! Modern/beach-chic, clean, and well-stocked! It may be the only option near by, but it's a great option! We went in to grab a few drinks for the drive home from the beach and will definitely be back for pre-beach snacks and drinks next time. See my photo of the freshly baked galettes - it took all my willpower to resist them! Shhh...don't tell anyone else but I heard that the galettes are cheaper at the store than they are at their adjacent restaurant! In true general store fashion you'll find a little of everything. They sell general grocery items, a variety of local and gourmet snack options including pre-made cheese plates, eggs, ice, wine, beer, non-alcoholic beverages, sunscreen, beach blankets, towels, clothes, cards, mugs, stickers, candles.... Boards and wetsuits are available for rent. They also offer soft serve ice cream and made-to-order Equator coffee! When you visit Dillon Beach (which is a must if you have a pup!), definitely check out this shop! read more

Walking up to this old fashion licking store I wasn't too sure what I was in for and as I walked in it had a small parlor area similar to what my dad told me they have in Canada as they would remove their boots and then go into the actual Fourier of the rest of the house! I'm not too sure if this building was originally a house or just a general store, but it's very iconic, and Old fashion with a modern twist! There were at least two people working behind the counter, and a handful of eclectic local items on each counter, as well as grocery and specialty items! I have a number of food allergies, and I was surprised to see they actually had some gluten-free and vegan boxed items! Not to mention a huge assortment of local wines, as well as snacks such as meats, cheeses, and fresh fruits! The coffee looked delicious, and there was ice cream!! I wish I could've spent more time in there, but as we walked in a group of maybe 20 people came in after us, and I was just overwhelmed by too many people, so we left. But I love the store and it's ambience!! They also had some beach building toys for the children! We ended up going to the restaurant next-door since it was outdoors and see my review on that! But delicious needless to say!! read more

We stayed at lawsons landing and came to the store to purchase some items morning of 1/22. The day before we spent about $100 in the store. We were getting breakfast items that morning and my son asked to use the restroom and we were told we had to go down to the beach which is a $10 entry fee to use the restrooms. We were the only ones in the store and he couldn't wait so we just left to head back to the campground. Wasn't worth driving all the way back. Been coming here for years and was disappointed with the employees snobby attitude. This place has gone downhill despite their "farmhouse" makeover. Was better years ago. Maybe new owners, I'm not sure. An establishment like this should have a restroom for paying customers. Get supplies in town before coming to the Dillon Beach. read more

Living at the beach is great except when you forget an ingredient for dinner. Nobody wants to drive 30 minutes into town for olives. Thank god for the Dillon Beach Resort Store. Staffed by nice local folks and stocked with stuff you might need for a beach picnic or a cooking emergency. The deli-style green olives that I purchased were fresh tasting and delicious. I managed to resist the unique local soft serve this time but I'll be back soon. If only they could get the Buffalo milk one like they have in Point Reyes. read more

Great and fun place to visit and good food. Had a lot of fun. Nice and friendly place. If I had the money I would live there

The owners of this place should be ashamed of themselves. They take advantage of their customers. Not like the previous store. Gone are the staple items people need when they are far from town, replaced by boutique-y type things you can buy on Amazon for half the price. My kid went to the store today and bought an ice cream, a single bag of chips and a lemon aid. He was charged $22. Thanks for taking advantage of my kid and obviously countless others. I sincerely hope you evaluate your practices to attempt to play a valuable role in a great local community. read more

Loved the beach but wasn't a huge fan of this store. They didn't have much stocked in terms of food for the beach. The items I did buy were expired and I had to walk back up and get a refund. I think they should have more fairly priced beach food in stock. read more

Cute remodel but beware of the expiration dates and condition of the items you purchase. On my first visit I noticed a woman was talking to the person at the register as she was trying to get a refund/exchange for a jarred item she had just purchased because it had an expiration date that was a year past the present. They did not give her a refund. On my second trip, I went to purchase a bag of chips and notice bite marks on the bag, in fact a few of the bags had been tampered with and the person at the register traded out the bag I thought I had selected carefully for that reason. Then when I walked out, I noticed I had been overcharged $5 for the beverage I had selected but because I didn't request a receipt, I was out of luck. Buyer beware in the shop; it's cute, convenient so you'll be lured in but just be cautious. read more

A beautifully laid out, quaint and homey store for the remote haven of Dillon Beach. Prices are higher than Safeway, of course - it's a half hour away from the closest freeway, so logic says that's the right call. Small store, so it offers a modest selection of items - but they're all top-shelf. Feels very Healdsburg, but with sandy feet. I'm a fan. read more

The prices of this store are absurd. A bag of chips is 7$ and a crappy sandwich that was soggy was 14$. The customer service is always terrible the employees are just on their phones. No restrooms. I feel like they inflate their prices because theirs nothing around but it's ridiculous to charge that much for that little. I will never go back again. read more

Super cute store, great souvenirs. Definitely not a full grocery store, but they have some staples that can get you by if you forgot a thing or two. The soft serve is a must and their pre-made sandwiches are good too. read more

You don't get much for your money here. Ordered soft serve ice cream, and the portions were a joke for what they charged. Use the restroom at the beach, they don't even have a public restroom for customers to use. Snarky service from the employee working the counter. read more

Dillon Beach General Store - $4 ice cream - Grocery Near Me - Dillon Beach, California

My 17-year-old son just got back from taking the dog to Dillon Beach. He stopped here to get something to eat. Sees a turkey and cheese sandwich all wrapped up really nicely in paper wrapping. He thinks "Wow, $14.00, but hey it's probably a really good sandwich with the way it's all wrapped up, etc". He just got home, shows me the sandwich and we were both blown away. American or Velveeta cheese, horribly processed chicken/turkey meat, and mustard on wheat. Check out the picture. Shame on you Dillon Beach General Store for selling food that is more than sub-standard! read more

What a great little store! Tons of great DB branded clothing and other items, awesome food chinches and a fantastic collection of mostly local craft beers! Someone did their work selecting items to sell!!! read more

My family and I hadn't been up here for a while and I was stunned by the changes they've made to this store. The renovation is nice and modern and the place needed it but everything else sucks !Inventory has completely changed and is overpriced. if I ran out of basics like sugar, milk or eggs, this was my go to store but now I might as well consider it closed because I'm not gonna find anything I can use here. Most of the store is filled with fancy expensive beers, wines and very little spirits. The young ladies who work here are not welcoming and don't greet customers, if they greet you it's really fake and forced. The owner should rethink what he's doing here because we're not at The Hamptons or Beverly Hills. read more

Why list a phone number if no one picks up the phone? I feel like an idiot after spending money in that store for years just to be sent to VM after two rings. read more

I've been coming to Dillon Beach for over 45 years and have seen the many transformations of the store. Maybe some of you remember the coffee/hot chocolate vending machine and photos of sharks that greeted you as you entered the store in the 70s. A lot of the complaints I have read on Yelp are petty. It's the only store in town. It's going to be more expensive than what you're used to and if you're surprised by this, maybe you should should stick to not venturing far beyond your local Applebees. I've have never been treated rudely---past or present. The store stocks a lot of basic essentials and more. Be grateful that it exists and provides the convenience of not having to drive back to Petaluma because you forgot to pick up charcoal or a bottle of wine. read more

Great improvement from what it was for years. As a FT resident of DB appreciate what the resort owners are doing. They have a long term vision. Service at the store is always perfect. Love the new DBR read more

40 years of shopping here, in the beginning it was ALL about candy and souvenirs- just like most kids! Over the last 20 years or so, at LEAST one visit annually. This past October Family Vacay, new lighter weight hoodies! Love them! Family is purchasing/renovating home up the hill (Kona).....so many more shopping stops to come! Board wax, skim board, and sunscreen every summer. Hoodies in fall. Love our "Other Fam" here at the store. Forgotten food/drink items are bound to happen when we visit, so this is our go to (rather than jaunt into Petaluma. (See you at end of month!) read more

Dillon Beach General Store - Best Hoodies yet - Dillon Beachfront Store, thank you! - Grocery Near Me - Dillon Beach, California

It's expensive. Let's just get that out-of-the-way. It is small town resort pricing. That being said, the people are really nice and friendly. We bought candy there, and got hot drinks. The hot chocolate was not very good, we didn't have high expectations. There is easy parking. They have T-shirts, water bottles, other tourist stuff. read more

This store is now under new ownership! They did a great job with remodeling. Warm atmosphere and they sell everything natural. My favorite is their coffee! It's amazing. Also they sell bakery items, so you can actually enjoy your coffee with outstanding view. Staff is great. I would give 5 stars but they don't have a restroom... read more

Awesome Food!! Incredible flavor and spice!! If your looking for an incredible fried chicken sandwich, here is your place!!

This place has everything. And not just any run of the mill general essentials. They got nice high end organic items. Killer wine selection. And great selection of local craft beers. Good eggs good organic milk. I loved it! If u want cheapo stuff drive to the nearest gas station. If you want organic soft serve or a mean pour over this is your spot. I'm a bit of an SF Bay Area snob so this place was heaven. It's pricey so be prepared to pay for quality. The service is friendly and fast. It was open at 8 am which was great because I forgot dog food for my pup. Of course they had good quality grain free dog kibble, excellent. read more

$4 for a measly serving of soft serve ice cream? What a joke. The girl serving didn't know how to twirl a cone... Lopsided 1.5" high cone. Seriously? Not being petty but after seeing other people's cone come out being twice more. Absolutely no consistency! read more

The new store is unrecognizable! In a good way ! The new owners have redone everything & it looks amazing. Def seems like they r still working out the quirks price wise . There were a lot of items that were over the top expensive . Also wish they had a microwave to utilize the frozen food section . (We were camping at Lawson's landing) Loving the organic healthy options, kombucha on tap, local groceries, great beer, and an espresso machine ! Friendly staff and beautiful store . read more

We love Dillon beach. Been coming since our boy was a babe...24 years. Grateful for the family that has stewarded this land for all these years. That said, the experience at the general store has changed dramatically. I should say that I myself wear a Dillon beach beenie with pride :). What I cannot tolerate is the snobby service of one blond barista. THAT is the change that tips the scale for me. That the wine prices are jacked up for tourists...along with most other products...that is tolerable especial as we are a wine family from Napa. We bring our own, but for those that don't know...I'd highly recommend packing in your own stash from a nearby Whole Foods (15-20 min max). As for the blond barista that looked down on me for needing more milk that 2 oz in my double shot/10oz cup/$5 Capp, maybe it's time to move on? Your attitude shines through and is seen by all. Not what anyone wants on a lovely Sat morning... And...I agree with another reviewer. For those who are shopping, visiting, a public bathroom is paramount. Especially for those who are less mobile. read more

Super cute shop with a range of food, clothing, and home items. We will definitely be back!

The store has many unique items and decorated very nice. However the customer service is terrible. I recently was in and purchased a couple items and the older, shoulder length grey haired lady was extremely unfriendly and rude. I have been coming here for 30+ years and unfortunately because of the unfriendliness I will choose other places to spend my money. read more

Maureen is the best, great customer service. I love the store and great selection! Thanks for what you are doing for our community!
