The general store was built back in 1937, which is quite the history for a place in Orlando. But the owners have curated a modern menu that is very different from the building’s historic past.

The building itself is zoned for use as a general store but is smack dab in the middle of a residential neighborhood, which makes it feel like it’s in the middle of nowhere.

The deli is brimming with fresh meats and cheese, homemade pasta salads, and schmears - you can even walk away with a bottle of wine and a cheese board and sit outside under the trees.

The sandwiches are also worth checking out, with a wide variety that ranges from The Waldorf, a chicken salad sandwich on a fresh croissant, to the artichoke and broccolini, served with a garlic chive spread and mozzarella on a toasted filone loaf.
