I watched as he was stalked around the store and stared down by both employees. My boyfriend and I both look white meanwhile my brother is a traditional looking Hispanic teenage boy. He was the only person of color in that store and he was followed as if he were up to no good. This was our first time in the shop and it will definitely be our last.

I wouldn't say they are overpriced just more then i like to spend on things I don't need and only want. That saying-I find something I want here but don't need. They have some very unique gift ideas along with some books and toys that I would buy. They have a cool talking dinosaur that I loved with its dry humor. It would be a good way to train your child's wit. I would recommend stopping in and browsing even if your are not looking to buy because you may find something you want here.

For the price point we wanted the basket was overwhelmingly beautiful. I also screwed up the address and found out after they drove all the way to Annapolis to drop it off that she moved and I still had the old address (I suck at details sometimes - unlike Frederick Basket Company). They were kind enough to drop it off to me in Silver Spring instead so I could give it to her when I saw her again. So much for the surprise, but the whole thing was too perfect. I love supporting a local shop, the basket was better than advertised and the customer service is top-notch!

This is a funny part of the world, this Bluemont. It's like a human estuary, where the (you choose…read morewhich should be which) saltwater people meet the freshwater people, where Civil War history mixes with DC commuters, where the old hands meet the new. To me, it seems as if the culture to the east is having its way with the culture that displaced the native Americans and even though this seems somehow fitting at the same time those living here now are the descendants of the robbers and not the robbers themselves and maybe it isn't so fantastic to have a Prius in every other garage after all but what do I know I'm not from these parts and even though I lived for a spell in Appalachia perhaps this is really none of my business. So please take this preamble with a grain of salt. Take what follows more seriously. This is a very cool General Store. It isn't Clem's store and it has staples that appeal more to the freshwater people than the saltwater people (or vice versa depending on the assignment you selected earlier). But so what that's the way it is. The store and Lani the gracious proprietress and her lovely staff and pulled pork sammich they made from good meat they raised I think and smoked themselves saved my life the day after 20 miles on the AT with no supper followed by a morning with no breakfast or water until like an hour after we started walking all thanks to the most insane thunderstorm I've been caught in for a long time and the flammable aspect of tents and that sucked because we were going to have couscous. We had stashed a two-day ration of food at the post office down the street, about a mile from where the AT crosses the main road. I had spied the store the day we dropped the food and thought hmm that place looks pretty cute I better be feeling hella good when we get this cache because if for some reason I'm not the siren song may play and instead of the last leg on the Trail I could find myself on that picnic table under the shade tree eating bbq and sipping on the sweet root beer. Self-control has historically not been my strongest suit. I was not feeling hella good when we arrived in Bluemont. The 55 miles had taken their toll. That no supper no breakfast thing sapped my will. The bbq was the last nail in the pine box into which my desire to slog on had slipped maybe for a short nap but go ahead and fasten that lid I don't really care at this point. We set for a long spell. One of Lani's associates was so sweet to drive us back to Harper's Ferry and the car and we headed back a day early which was all good because the rest of the family was there and we have really only so many days and it's nice to be home too. If you're hiking the AT, biking the byways, doing a little historic tour of the robber's plunder, even if you're driving your Pious to a government job in Foggy Bottom and need a little egg sammy and the coffee to keep you company on the way - the Bluemont General Store I daresay is the place for you. Truth. Thanks Lani. You and your peeps made my day.

We used to come here a lot and always ordered food that was fresh and tasted so good. Since the…read morepandemic, us moving, etc., we haven't been there as often. Recently, I started a new job so I figured I'd swing by this place again. However, it's not a place I will continue to go to since it seems like total chaos now. Apparently there's new management and there's no sense of communication or a sense of urgency with any of the workers. They almost seem to be in full-on agony just being there. There's hardly ever any food to pick from the hot bar and what's there is overcooked and dried up. Last week, I called in and order to be picked up. I get there and there's no one in the kitchen fixing anything. The cook/manager shows up and says she had a meeting and too many people were asking questions so she forgot to make my food. After getting it, I go to pay and get an outrageous price. When I explained I had a simple combo, it took them all ten minutes to figure out what to charge me. By the time I got to pay and get out of the store, I literally had 3 minutes to try and eat my sandwich, which was thrown together like slop, and my potato wedges that looked as if they were a week old. It's a shame that a business that was really good has now joined the ranks of sloppy and lazy.

Fortunately on this trip, the weather was perfect and we had a chance to walk around and check things out. As we walked by I noticed this place, but it closed. The very next day I realized I never got a postcard and began my search for one. Since the area had gotten their first case of Covid-19 I knew it would be hard to find a place that was open. I started calling around and had basically given up. Tessoterica was my last chance and I was pretty sure it was going to be a no go. Autumn answered the phone as kind and bubbly as could be. She explained that they were closed but she was in house working on their homemade bath bombs and soaps, and would be for a while that day. I explained that I just needed to grab a few post cards, and she offered to open the doors for us to come in and get what we needed. When we got there we saw right off the bat how inviting their store is and what a large selection of handmade items they sell. Not only do they make their own inventory to sell in store, they also offer other locals works. From bath accessories, to jewelry, and even more. They also have an in house deli type area that would be perfect for relaxing and grabbing some Hershey ice cream after walking around town. Autumn couldn't have been more kind and helpful, and we can't wait to head back to the area to visit again. When you visit don't forget to grab some soaps! They smell heavenly!
