If you really want to enjoy meat, then you might want to make yourself come here…read more The decor is a horror story, yeah.. I mean seriously not for the faint of heart. When you walk in, you may question if this place is real,.. or a front for something else... actually it's a front.. for a business that could take your freshly kill game, and break it down into all the necessary bits. Yup, they have a butchery service. If that isn't why you are here, it's because of the Jerky, preserved sausage, or the polish sausages. The Jerky is seasoned and tastes of perfection. It's salty, savory, chewy, tender, and all things sexy. They have plenty normally, but I have been told by a local, that they do run out, so if you see something that looks empty, just ask. You wonder why you haven't come here before... well, it might be because it's off the main drag, so you are not going to just drive by it. I paid cash, didn't ask about credit cards, but I think small businesses always appreciate cash, unless told otherwise.

We stopped here on a long road trip to grab hot lunch from the deli, gas up and use the restroom…read more At the deli, the guy serving us barely said anything and everything we added to the order (2 items per person, 4 people) he just scowled. Handed us our food and didn't even say anything when we said thank you. Then, after spending $45 to eat and grab snacks, we went to use the restroom and it was blocked by the janitor guy. There were people inside finishing up and he was waiting for them to come out so he could start cleaning, I had my two girls with me and asked if we could go real quick because we were on a long trip and not stopping anywhere else. He wouldn't let us. We had to go across the parking lot in the freezing cold and wait outside. Everyone here seemed miserable and was rude and made this a bad experience all around, I was not pleased when we left. Would avoid this town altogether if this is any indication of the atmosphere. Sheesh!

Selection is small, but they've got at least one choice of whatever you need. In our case, some select produce, salad dressing, and a few snacks.

They only had locally made scrunchies for $4 a pop, but hey - now's the time to support local more than ever! Service is a little slow, but that's okay. The ladies were really nice. They also do coffee here as well. I got an iced lavender latte and it was phenomenal. VERY powerful flavor so definitely only recommend for the REAL lavender lovers! Great option if you are in need of some basics.

The cabin is a one bed one bath with a full kitchen stocked with the kitchen supplies we needed to cook meals and clean up. A Keurig coffee maker and pods are provided making it perfect to enjoy a morning cup of coffee on the front porch watching the sunrise through the trees. If wanting to venture out, the town of Leavenworth is only about a 25 minute drive taking you along the Wenatchee River.

Bonus points: + These ladies are insanely sweet and know what they're talking about, don't be hesitant to ask them for a suggestion. I'm so happy I got advice on what sausage to use for my dish! (Grazie again, Randine, you're so great!) + they have a custom vending machine outside their storefront, yes you read that right I said vending machine!!!! haha, with snack packs of mixed cheese and meats specially from their company. + the convenience of not only location, but being able to grab all I need to make a great meal with quality, local ingredients makes my heart happy!

(I do wonder about the broccoli from China??). The cheese and deli area are always fun, and I would have never tried the Sabra Hummus, Caramelized Onion flavor, Lemon flavor, or the Roasted Pine Nut flavor, probably because the other stores do not carry them, but what a treat, I go back just to see the new flavor of hummus they have for the week. Sure, not available all the time, but so fun to find and try oddball items. The interesting cheeses they get in are fun, plus they have their own brand of sliced cheese, swiss, cheddar, provolone, etc. that is just great, and is really affordable. Always something new and exciting.. If you find something you like, you better get lots, because it might not be there next time. The staff has always been friendly, Parking is Great. Go in, look around, have fun!

If Heaven had a pit stop, it would be Lee's Summit Deli and Grocery…read more I don't know what kind of sorcery they're working with at this gas station mini mart, but I walked in for a quick fill-up and left with a renewed sense of purpose, a heart full of joy, and the best soda of my entire existence. Let's start with the service: From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted like royalty. The cashier didn't just say hello--he beamed at me like I was the long-lost heir to the Lee's Summit throne. Need help finding something? They don't just point--they escort you. I asked where the beef jerky was and got a full guided tour of the snack aisle, complete with flavor recommendations and a brief history of teriyaki. I've had less attentive service at five-star restaurants. Now brace yourself for the soda machine. This isn't a soda machine. This is a carbonated cathedral. A fizzy fountain of dreams. I approached it cautiously, unsure if I was worthy. It glowed like the Ark of the Covenant. There were flavors I didn't even know existed--Peach Vanilla Dr. Pepper? Cherry Lime Sprite? A root beer so rich it could pay off my student loans? And the ice--oh, the ice! Perfectly crunchy, chewable nuggets of frozen bliss. I filled my cup, took a sip, and nearly dropped to my knees. I've tasted vintage wines, artisanal coffees, and hand-pressed juices--but nothing compares to the liquid euphoria that flowed from this machine. The rest of the store? Immaculate. Shelves stocked like a Swiss watch. Bathrooms cleaner than a hospital operating room. And the deli? Don't even get me started. I had a turkey sandwich that made me question every other sandwich I've ever eaten. If you're within 100 miles of Lee's Summit Deli and Grocery, cancel your plans. Drive there. Experience it. Let the soda machine baptize your taste buds and the staff restore your faith in humanity. Five stars isn't enough. I'd give them a constellation.

I had never hiked up this way (did fly fish it last year though). While driving up the valley, I happened upon this little grocery. I didn't have a Wilderness Pass, so I figured I'd stop on in and grab one (as well as some beef jerky for me and my dogs). This place is fairly small. The person running the place was sitting in what looked like an attached living room to the store (her cute kid was playing around on the floor playing)--definitely a homey feel to the place. The woman was nice and answered my basic questions about getting to the trailhead. "yeah, the roads alright, but there are some potholes to look out for", she said. "Potholes" turned out to be the buzzword of the day for me. If you need to pick up any last minute provisions, Teanaway Mercantile is your only options in this beautiful peace of the world.

Formerly out of business for a few years, the Mercantile is now under new ownership and reopened…read moreits doors on Saturday 8/8/13. The new owners seem really great and are still doing renovations and cleaning up the place, with future hopes of running a little sandwich/snack counter once their permits get approved. I'm a big fan of the unmanaged Twentynine Pines campground just a few miles into the hills past the Mercantile and now that this place is open again, I don't have to drive the ~20 miles back into Cle Elum for any supplies I forget. The prices are higher than Safeway and etc, but they're not outrageous and the convenience is worth it. I'm helping host a 30+ person event out that way this weekend and found that the Mercantile wasn't missing anything I might need during the event; they've got beer, propane, food, drinks, supplies, tools, and more. Their plans are to stay open year-round and I hope these guys can make enough to keep their doors open for a while.
