I stopped here on March 29, 2026, needing both coffee and gas, and I was pleasantly surprised. The coffeehouse is excellent, and the mini-mart connected to the gas station is really well done. The store was stocked with a great selection of what appeared to be locally made foods. I was especially impressed by the branding and cozy coffee house motif. This place really feels unique. I'll definitely keep it on my radar. If you're traveling on 70 through Maryland, check it out. read more

If you're looking for a cozy breakfast spot that is like no other, in the middle of nowhere.... this is your roadside stop. You will not be disappointed. Cafe and gas station in one. If you're stopping for breakfast I recommend the " Farmer's Harvest" bowl which was so farm-fresh. The base of the bowl with potatoes than added provolone, eggs, peppers, onions, mushrooms, and spinach in a creamy Dijon mayo sauce was off the hook ! They offer free WiFi. The homemade NY coconut cheesecake is , " the not want to share kind of good! " Located off I-68 exit 72 in the Appalachian Mountains. I love the simplicity, warmth, and organic feel to this cafe. read more

Stopped here on the road and was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere has that cozy rustic charm that makes you want to linger a bit longer.

Service was quick and friendly, and the place feels welcoming whether you're grabbing something to go or sitting down for a break. A great little stop along the way definitely worth it! read more

We found out about this place through some friends that had stopped on the way back from WVU to grab some lunch so we drove out to the location to see for ourselves, do a little geocaching and have some lunch. The place is really incredible and loaded with lots of options not just a convenience store style, but a country organic natural store with loads of different products such as canned goods, salsa, jellies , honey and hot sauces. Place was very clean well organized well run and the staff were very very friendly helping us get acclimated to the ordering process before we sat down for lunch. The two sandwiches that we ordered were delicious grilled de perfection and loaded with lots of fresh ingredients. The fries were spot on crispy, flavorful and creamy inside. The coleslaw was loaded with lots of flavor and nicely prepared and the homemade house chips were prepared kettle style with not too much salt. The entire meal was excellent from just the right amount of seasoning on the potato chips, two wonderfully freshly prepared grilled deli sandwiches and had a great price. The Grinch added a nice aspect for the holiday, and we loved being able to get a picture of him manning the coffee station. We also went over to the convenience area and picked up an M&M peanut butter cake for a white elephant gift that night as well as a baked Alaska for ourselves to take home. The cakes were fresh, moist and flavorful with enough to split the slice for two people . Highly recommended! read more

Just off the interstate in Maryland near West Virginia this is the perfect little stop. This is probably one of the nicest and most delicious restaurants I've experienced connected to a gas station. They serve food all day - I got the breakfast burrito which was so tasty I got a second one! They run about $8 which for the size and amount of food it's well worth every penny. I also got a pastry - it was about $5 - it was good but more like a $3.50 pastry. They have regular coffee in the gas station and it's very good quality but they also have a full coffee bar inside the restaurant which is attached to the gas station. The inside is decorated very nicely and incredibly clean and comfortable. When it's warmer they have outdoor seating and a music stage. The girl working in the restaurant/coffee bar was super friendly and helpful. Gonna make this a regular stop anytime I'm on I-68 between Morgantown WV and Cumberland MD! read more

It's a gas station that has a bakery in it. The food is not good. We asked for a gluten free buns for our burgers, and sides of fries. They brought out the fries and it wasn't until we asked that we found out they weren't gluten free. So we were exposed to gluten. I would not recommend this place. read more

This is probably the nicest convenience store to come in for a beautiful salad a really nice place of freshly made cake. The bougiest/fanciest pit stop ever.

Great patio welcome to dogs. The wait for ordering food was 40 min so we got wraps from the ready-made cooler which were decent. Looked like they had a milkshake bar-worth trying in the future. read more

Food A Service. A Ambiance. A- After we biked on the WMRT, we found this place. Not a fan of the moonshine offered, but everything else was a pleasant surprise. FIRST-TIMERS will be challenged if you walk into restaurant side. We were confused on where to go. If you go in the convenience side , you focus on the food offered at one counter then order. Then turn around and pay at another counter. Then if dining in, go through walkthrough to find seating. We chose the table in the back facing forward. While waiting on our food, we enjoyed the slide show on the monitor. We couldn't figure out the jerky spots but laughed at the Grinch one. The food came quickly. The waitress was polite. Clean bathrooms with a "never seen before" way to exit. Will return. read more

I had to stop here because my tire got a nail in it and we had stopped at a gas station close by and it was tarrable felt Erie and uncomfortable but luckily this was close by and when i walked in it was such a different mood the people were so friendly it's very clean and i felt very comfortable being in there while i was waiting for assistance with my tire, Unfortunately i did not get to eat the food but all the baked goods look amazing and the bathrooms are clean and welcoming they even have a thing where you wave and it opens love it here and had a great view!! read more

Ambiance is nice, a cute place with a lot to offer. Wraps, sandwiches, shop with sauces and such. Baked goods. The staff is amazing and super kind and helpful!! Food ~~~~OMG these cheesecakes are the best ever!!! I am from 3.5 hours away and I always go there~ for the cheesecakes. My last trip I brought 12 home for family and friends. My favorite is Coconut and I am glad this isn't near my house or I would eat my weight in coconut cheesecake and that's not a good choice lol read more

This is the first time I give a "gas station" 5 stars! Oak Barrel Citgo is a "gas station" bakery convenience store by I-68 in Maryland. It's a pleasant surprise for us to discover this place. Clean, well stocked, and above all: tastefully decorated and cozy (words that we don't usually associate with highway gas stations!). Look at my photo. That bakery side with fireplace and all the wood. It makes you want to sit down and sip coffee. They've got WiFi and there are people there on their laptops or reading, as if it's a neighborhood Starbucks! Toilet is not in top condition but clean enough by highway standards (at least I could sit down). read more

Ordered a turkey wrap w Swiss and a turkey club with a side of fries. The fries were limp and soggy, my turkey club was made as a wrap instead of being on the toasted wheat berry bread. And, to top it off, there was literally ONE slice of turkey on my wrap. Ridiculous portion for $8.95! read more

What a little gem! We were heading back home from our vacation and stopped at this charming little place. We had our reservations about it being attached to a gas station but our doubts were soon squashed. The staff was super helpful and the food was outstanding! They were decorated for Christmas and the shop was super cute and clean. I had the hamburger sub special and wow it was super yummy! I didn't get a chance to take pics of the food as everyone was starving by the time we stopped. I did take a few of the inside of the eating area as well as the convenience side. They had some old time candy as well !! read more

Amazing Road side cafe bakery attached to a Citgo gas station. We picked up hot breakfast croissant sandwiches which my kids hammered. I couldn't resist getting a few of the seriously decadent looking cakes and cheesecake. The cakes are all so good, but the lemon cheesecake is one of the best desserts I've ever eaten. Such a great hidden gem that I just stumbled across. So glad we stopped in! read more

Great place to stop for breakfast on the go or to sit for a few. Really nice ambiance and service. Came here during Thanksgiving holiday and they had it nicely decorated for Xmas. Also has a nice little fireplace you can sit by. I would stop here again in the furure. read more

I'd say this is a perfectly acceptable choice for a pitstop, but don't expect to be blown away. This stop is quite convenient along the highway through western MD. They have a lot of fairly priced options. I stuck with the conservative choice of hot turkey sandwich with gravy and mashed potatoes. Everything about the dish was just fine. The gravy tasted store bought. The bread was Wonderbread. The mashed potatoes were fairly lumpy but tasted fine. If you go in with medium expectations, you'll be fine. This place would certainly not be a 5-star establishment were it not for the scarcity of nearby food options. read more

If you want fresh homemade food this is your place. It was absolutely amazing. The service is on point. Highly recommended.

Amazing food, great experience, very good service. A well thought out place for new travelers

Boujie place indeed ! charming cafe/restaurant . High quality food. I would never have thought of finding such a gem of a place next to a gas station! Milk shakes were awesome, my Thai chicken bowl was so hearty, tasteful and warm, family loved their wraps. I did not care for the carrot cake and thought 9 dollars was a bit expensive for it . It also has a quaint store where they sell jams, salsas, local honey, soaps etc read more

Don't be put off that it has a gas station out front; it's just another source of fuel... for cars. This place seems like the go-to place for this area. There is a wide selection of food and a market for other food items and beverages. The staff was very friendly and patient, and I stress patient as we kept changing our order. This is what happens when everything looks good and didn't disappoint. When you get set with your food and beverages whether soda or of the adult kind, take them outside or stay in it's quaint either way. We choose to sit outside for the gorgeous weather. After you eat, play a game of corn hole, get ice cream (inside) or just get another beer. Whatever you choose, you can't go wrong - it's just a hidden gem and a one-stop shop. I highly recommend this place if you are in the western Maryland area... beautiful country. read more

Love the cheesecake. We go out of our way to visit here when in the area. Everything we have ever ordered is tasty!

-Kid perfect outdoor area -Reasonable prices -Great food We stopped here on our way from NJ to KY on the recommendation from yelp. We were not disappointed. Out 6 year old enjoyed the back patio with cornhole to burn off some energy. We loved the low prices and great food. 10/10 would stop again. They also have a wonderful selection of local jams, hot sauces, moonshine, and liquors. If you're not driving there's cold drinks you can grab to go with your meal as well. We had the kickin chicken wrap, French dip, and kids chicken tenders. All hit the spot perfectly. There's also a dog walking area on site. read more

We stop here all the time to pick up breakfast or lunch sandwiches on our trips out to Deep Creek. We never realized they had an ice cream and coffee bar until our most recent stop as it is on the side where you sit down to eat. The ice cream is old fashion soft serve and it was delicious! The staff is always very welcoming. read more

Very convenient, just off I-68, this cute restaurant is at a Citgo gas station. We had breakfast right at 10:30 when they switch to lunch. Our wraps and sandwich and omelet were perfectly made, hot and delicious. The coffee is strong and hot, with cream and flavorings available. They have around seven inside booths and tables and one outside, socially distanced. The decor in the dining area is quaint like an old country store. You order at a counter, then select beverages etc from a convenience-store area. The cakes and cheesecakes they sell are amazing! Cute souvenirs, too. Your order is brought to your table. And you pay for everything together on the way out. The staff is friendly, courteous, and helpful. The bathroom is clean. read more
