Papa's is what it is and that's just how we like it - the gossip/info hub of the mountain, a very…read moregeneral country store with a smidge more than the basics, and the only choice for people over here on the LH and Lake Ez side of the Mountain without having to drive 10+ miles or down San Fran. It doesn't change a whole lot & that's OK. It's more than a gas station - they usually carry at least one version of anything you'd have to have when you're in need and don't want to head off the mountain. It's not a full market with all your fav brands, but mostly anything you'd want from sweets & TV dinners to bread and milk can be found, along with some surprising things the owner, George, picks up to stock here and there (Mexican candy, various toys and gifts, etc.). It's mostly handy for those who want drinks (alcohol and soda/other), smokes, and snacks, but can be a life saver when you need even stuff like holiday ingredients (they always stock things like yams, gravy, etc. at the right times), desperate-for toiletries or a phone cord or some medicine fast. And if they don't have something that is asked after a couple of times, you're likely to see it pop up on a shelf soon enough. The people George hires are usually pretty good eggs or they don't last. It's nice to have friendly and familiar faces who are just genuinely nice salt-of-the-earth folks who, despite dealing with some locals at their best & worst, still have time to be sweet to kids coming in to buy candy with their egg money. Small-town "only one we got" places have their good and bad - the "mountain surcharge" can grow tiresome, but it's worth it to not have to drive into town when you run short on milk or want to grab a frozen pizza for a quick dinner. And it's certainly nice to have people you know in there who are willing to go the extra mile. We definitely recommend Papa's often and are in there at least 4 times a week, sometimes daily during certain times of year. We're glad it's still here and we SO missed it during the renovation, so we will always vote for them to keep on keeping on. SUPPORT LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSES WHEN YOU CAN!

They have eggs, ramen, hot water for your ramen, tshirts, fishing bait, candy, chips, cool sodas, and a very delicious looking menu. I love stops like this that surprise you with what they offer.

I bought some iced tea, and proceeded to check out. There was a short line, but it went by fast, and I was on my way back home in no time.

Thought I was getting off of Sand Canyon road for the 76 gas station. I ended up getting off on Sierra Highway. Gas light was lit, my phone was dead, I was drained from working all night and worse part of it all...I was totally clueless of my whereabouts. It was a do or die situation lol. I ended up pushing the car for at least 15mins on Sierra Highway. I was so close to pulling over somewhere to cry about it lol. So you can imagine how much seeing the Valero gas sign was a huge relief for me. Gas prices were good, the cashier was cute, really cool and then the 14n fwy was really close by. I am super grateful!
