Small, ethnically eclectic grocer on the same road that leads up to Olympic National Park/Hurricane Ridge. Offers a wide variety of foods/snacks/beverages. Regional PNW and local WA bottles are available. Eastern European bottles, some Belgian stalwarts, and various Polish meads are in stock. The owner can be a little cranky at times. I was actually asked to leave during my first visit (apparently I was taking too long while thoroughly perusing everything that the store has to offer ... perhaps he has some trouble with shop-lifters, and my unfamiliar face had him worried?). Conversely, the lady behind the counter has been pleasant and helpful on subsequent visits. Fun little place to pick up some provisions for your hike/picnic. Give it a shot, you never know what you’ll find ... sodas, beer, wine, mead, smoked salmon, ethnic snacks, etc ...
