We stopped in half a dozen times over our few days in the area, and we were always warmly welcomed with good conversation. The Rueben, add turkey and the #3 b'fast EngMuff were tops. It's a great market! Thanks Loring.

On your way to the redwoods or Point Reyes Station watch for this building with the ivy covered Ghost sign and pull into the parking lot. Get out of you car and go into the cafe/ grocery store and feel yourself transported into the 1960's. Feel your shoulders drop and maybe even notice that you are smiling. This is one of my bliss places. The food is great, the vibe is good. Its both dog and people friendly.

Today I had the roast Turkey: amazing flavor and moist. Thank you for dinner! On that nice green salad! Thank you for carrying high- quality dairy! And for being fun! P.S. I just had this vision that perhaps you've explored and for very good reasons don't have time or practical means to achieve or don't like the idea but any event ! a little vegetable herb garden tomato plants containers and you could use those lovely things in your dishes. It would be nice to have an artisan little fresh produce feeling there -- and perhaps some fresh fruit (even if it's pricey,)...there's room for that type of vibe.

Lagunitas Grocery Store is the perfect pit stop for a nature filled day or weekend. They have a variety of grocery items: a selection of wine, fire wood, snacks, toiletries, and quintessential camping items like marshmallows, campfire popcorn, and instant rice. We had everything we needed for our weekend getaway at Samuel Taylor, and really only made a stop here for what they're known for: their deli, sandwiches, and friendly staff. I got the Rueben sans rye, replaced with Dutch crunch. It was absolute perfection. The pastrami was seasoned beautifully and wasn't dry or tough. They were cut into thin slices which made getting the perfect bite that much easier. My husband got the bbq sandwich and added onions and jalapeños. You get the smokiness of the meat and bbq sauce, and the tang from the pickled jalapeños. Grab yourself a bag of chips and a drink from the fridge to pair with your sandwich. Eat it inside and enjoy the tunes, or outside and enjoy the crisp, fresh air. Tip: This is the closest grocery store to Samuel Taylor park which is about a 10-15 minute drive. Consider stopping here if you need firewood and other essentials.

The food was so good! And the service equally impressive. I had the chicken salad: very fresh and flavorful. Friend 1 had chicken taquitos & cup of fruit: 5 stars. The taquitos were huge and she's never had fresher fruit. Friend 2 had a Turkey/Bacon/Swiss sandwich and it looked amazing. The bacon was thick and cooked perfectly. Don't sleep on this little gem. We'll definitely stop here again when we're in this area.

Found Lagunitas Grocery Store on the way back from hiking at Abbots Lagoon and the Lighthouse. Had a GREAT veggie and avocado sandwich on Dutch crunch bread. We devoured it so quickly that I forgot to take a pic. Service was super friendly and quick! The manager also checked on how we liked the food. Tables and chairs are inside and outside the store. I would definitely go back the next time I visit the area.

I've been stopping by this place for many many years as going to the coast is one of my favorite escapes. The Sir Francis Drake Boulevard is one of the most efficient thoroughfares from U.S. 101 so this is a much traveled route for me. I've always like this place, but on this one stop, I happen to have a chat with one of the co-owners, Loring, who says they bought the place about three years ago. I knew there was something different. It just felt like it. While I always enjoyed the food in the past, Loring and Jules, the other co-owner, have raised the bar. It's not always the case when establishments change hands. When something you enjoyed just got better? What a lovely surprise. The food is good and they serve good stuff. I'll just call it "country chic" for the lack of a better personal term. Lagunitas Grocery just a bit east of Samuel P. Taylor State Park, midway from 101 to Point Reyes National Seashore and a whole lot of other destinations. So if you're motoring on through, give these guys a chance to prove their mettle to you. I truly enjoyed their food, not to mention their warm hospitality.
