The Chilmark General Store is a curious cross between a community market, pizzeria, restaurant, deli and a popular gathering place for locals and visitors. The iconic porch with comfortable rocking chairs is a community central where friends and neighbors meet for coffee, and celebrities hang out with local workers for lunch. Children stop by after school for snacks, bikers come to refuel before hitting the cliffs, business deals are made over coffee and pastries and travelers stop by to try the famous pizza. Established in 1900s as E. Eliot Mayhew’s store, even then the people of Chilmark used to gather at a store before stocking up on just about anything. And just like then, today’s General Store carries everything: everyday basics, fresh local produce, household necessities, hot breakfast, lunch and dinner to eat on the porch or to go. The coffee is organic, roasted in small batch and ground fresh every day. The sandwiches are made with bread from PainD’Avignon bakery, and their famous Pizza is hand-tossed and topped with your favorite ingredients.
