Island Foods punches above its weight in terms of offerings. It's a small store in a small beach…read moretown, but they had a pretty respectable amount of grocery options available. First off, yeah, they know lots of folks are going to want alcohol, and I think half of the aisle endcaps displayed something alcoholic. While they had a lot of classic and domestic products, they do offer a decent amount of local beer, wine, and pre-mixed cocktails (even though the Untappd app said the local beer I was looking for wasn't sold anywhere in a 25 mile radius, Island Foods had it!). We came the week of Pony Penning, and the store makes a couple dozen cakes (see picture) to celebrate the occasion. The produce aisle is small, but they have enough that you could get a decent variety of fruits and vegetables for your stay. There's a pretty decent selection of meats here. I don't remember seeing too much non-frozen seafood, but I imagine it's hard to compete with the fresh catch with specialty fish markets on the island. I was pleasantly surprised to find several Gardein products, which meant vegetarian Child #1 could have some imitation meats and seafood if he wanted a protein similar to what the rest of his omnivorous family would get. Things are pricey. Inflation's here to stay and it's a touristy beach town. Considering that, it's not too bad. The folks at the register were very friendly. Whatever foodstuffs you're looking for, it's a good bet that Island Foods has it.

Great little grocery store. Had a great selection and found some great things to try. Very…read moreconvenient and nice staff.

Sometimes you meet the people who are the smartest in the town at the dollar store. The two guys…read moreworking tonight were just sweet and kind and educated me on the feral cats of the community. When we visit a place it's really important not to try to make it into something we want it to be but to learn about how it is and the guys in the store truly no what the island is all about.

The clothes look like good quality. The store is well stocked and organized!! The clothes have a good variety of colors to choose from. The also have key chains, beach wear, boogie boards, beach toys and etc. Some of the items are kinda pricey, but there are some reasonable prices as well. I can't comment on customer service because no one interacted with me or greeted me. This is a nice place to stop by if you're in town. It's on the way before you get to the bridge going to the beach and wildlife refuge. It was a good visit. Check them out!!

Staff is friendly. They have a bathroom for paying customers. They have changing rooms. Great store for you or for gifts for others.

When I was making my coffee I couldn't help but notice the flies having a family reunion by the coffee area. It was a lot! I don't know what it is, but this adorable little town has flies everywhere in certain places. So I learned to get over it!! Other than that, the store was clean and had anything you'd need if you can't get to an actual store. But some prices were high for household items. I needed one roll of toilet paper, and it was $4.69. I don't know whose booty deserves that kind of love, but not mines!! Lol. They also serve chicken, breakfast items, and sides. The breakfast empanada I got was good. The decaf coffee was ok, but a little weaker than I'd like. There's even discounted cigarettes for $2.99 that aren't popular or aren't selling. That's a good deal! But I don't detour from my regular cigarettes. But if you'll smoke anything, you can't beat the price!! All in all it's a decent store. The staff was nice. At certain times of day/night I think people meet up and hang out in the parking lot. It was no problem for me, I'm just saying it may appear busy at times. Check them out!!

Good pizza if you get hungry after hours and friendly staff. Ambiance is great there.read more
