Before arriving to Saxapahaw, our group had heard so many wonderful things about this store. The Saxapahaw General Store is a mix between a Co-op and a typical general store from back in time. There were tons of organic and local products to choose from, from wines to jams to gluten- free foods! They also had a restaurant attached that served natural and whole foods. I tried the cream soda made with cane sugar and was happy to find that it didn’t leave me feeling sick to my stomach as most sodas do and was very tasty. While definitely surrounded by a small town atmosphere, the General Store is definitely worth a stop on your way through this quaint and interesting town!
