DuPont General Store

This store is wicked cute and super convenient, plus they have the BEST chocolate chips cookies, a little over prized for everything though.

Wow! I can’t say how great of service my boyfriend and I received at the general store! The owner is the sweetest woman I have met in a while and I am so happy we were able to support her business.
We came in on a drive down to Portland and decided to try some of the home-​made desserts. HOLY YAAAAASSSSSS. That banana cake is pure heaven. We went in and only got one piece of cake at first. We sat in our car and ate the piece of banana cake and immediately went back in and bought two others. I honestly can’t remember the other two cakes we tried because the banana one was so good, it was all I could think about.
The owner laughed when she saw us coming back in to get more cakes and we talked to another customer who had come in and asked which cake I recommended. It definitely seems like banana is everyone’s favorite because everyone in the store agreed with me! :D
She also has pre-​packaged dinners that are homemade, delicious, and perfectly portioned. My boyfriend and I love DuPont and wish we could come to this general store all the time! :)

Amazing!!! The store is so adorable! My first time going there was today on my way home… I passed the last Safeway on my way home and remembered seeing the store before, so u I popped in to see what they had. I am speechless at the level of customer service I received! I am in customer service and personally strive to have high standards so when I am faced with outstanding service, I definitely remember! Sandy is the owner and happened to be there tonight when I stopped in. I grabbed the cake sampler for a get together I had tonight and when I brought it up to pay, she said «oh no, that is not up to my standards…» So she grabbed another one and gave me the one I picked out for free! Seriously! Even if she hadn’t done that, her greeting and connecting with each customer (even myself who she didn’t know) will bring me back when I need to grab a few things… it is a teeny overpriced but it makes sense because that is one of the only places in town to get food. They have cute deli sandwiches and salads and also some household items you can find! Absolutely love it!!!

I love the Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, The Thai Peanut Chicken. This is a nice little store to go to when you need a few things or just wanting grab some lunch. They have a changing stock so sometimes things that were there, may not get re-​stocked but I’m fine with that. I love the home made cookies, soups, and comfort meals. They baking supplies are nice too!

This place is overpriced compared to big-​box smalls in nearby Lakewood and Lacey but if you happen to live around DuPont or have an emergency and need something quickly, this is a good place to go.

The General Store has amazing hours, a great cross selection of groceries, household goods, gifts, and deli/​bakery goods. True to the name! What first got me was the soda selection with classics like Moxie and Sue City Sasparilla and the take out meals.
But above and beyond everything else, the bakery is on point. The Snickerdoodles are insanely delicious and the cupcakes blow away every cupcake boutique I’ve been to coast to coast.

Awesome. A true general store in the old-​time sense. It has what you need from stationery to hardware, to gifts, to kitchen needs, and grocery. Full service deli provides fresh salads, sandwiches, take away meals, and desserts. Helpful and friendly. A great, and unfortunately rare, true store of convenience.

OK, so this was to be a 4.5 stars but that isn’t an option for some reason. Seriously, how many places are «as good as it gets»? Is this place damn good? Yes, however I just hate sayings that something is as good as it gets.
The staff is great, the deli is fantastic, its close to my home, the prices aren’t stupid expensive and I don’t have to fight a damn crowd to find what I need only to then have to do self checkout because the corporation who owns it is a bunch of cheap bastards.
Nothing but good things to say about the place which is nice in this day and age.

Great food, great service and great atmosphere. When ever we come to Dupont that is our place to stop for groceries and goodies when we stay at the hotel. I will say this Oatmeal Scotties are the best ever. The prices are very affordable it’s like your walking into a general store from the turn of the century. The owner Sandy is a great lady, she knows her regulars by there first name even if you don’t come there every day.

Yummy food, adorable décor, not over priced either. All their deli foods are freshly made in store. all in all we will be returning many times :) it also has cute little vintage type gifts if you’re in need to pick something up on the fly!

Cool little store, with tons of little extras you might be needing in a pinch. I went in for car air-​freshened. Although they didn’t have any, I had fun wondering around looking at all the things they did have. Also I found things to be overpriced. But I was expecting it.

It has been almost a year since I visited the DuPont general store and I am so glad I stopped by today! Thank you thank you thank you for the custom made egg salad sandwich it was delicious! Just as good as I remembered.
Oh and the hug was nice too!

Carrot Cake! Carrot Cake! Carrot Cake! The best ever! Love the staff and the owner Ms. Sandy is awesome!!! If you are ever in the Dupont area drop by our little General Store!

The staff is a lot of fun here. Two blonde ladies, having a lot of fun with their store. This place basically has anything you need if you’re passing through DuPont, and do not want to venture to Lacey or Lakewood for a larger store.
I think they make some deli items in house, and maybe fudge or almond roeca. I didn’t really examine it, but I glanced at their deli section, and saw some kind of house made candies.
They don’t have much hot sauce though, which is the only thing that kept them from getting five stars with me. They only stock Tabasco, gross!
Check these guys out. Great service, smiles, fun place. Reasonable prices.

I honestly never understood why people kept bemoaning the death of small businesses in America until I found this store. I recently moved to the area and have only visited a couple times but each experience solidifies my belief that this is the greatest grocery store in the country. In my most evergreen visit I was unable to find the exact ingredients I needed for a recipe. The manager looked at the recipe and helped me find suitable alternatives (to include the stores own chicken stock). I don’t know if I spent more or less than I would’ve at Walmart or a larger grocer… I only know I don’t care. I look forward to my next culinary challenge and the help I’m sure to find at this amazing establishment.

Love the fresh-​made salads located in the deli… loaded potato is the best! The bakery items are also not to be missed. Staff/​Owners are always attentive and kind.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! The Carrot Cake is to die for. The owner, super nice.

I’m so thankful that we finally have a little grocery store in DuPont. A bit too pricey for us to do all of our grocery shopping here, but they carry everything needed in a jiffy, and their products are fresh and of great quality. One of my regular items is the Twinbrook milk; though I never used to just drink milk other than in my coffee or tea, this one is to die for, not even comparable to the other brands. The owners and staff are super friendly and make us feel welcome everytime we come in.

I stopped here with a friend on the way back to Portland for some water and to use the bathroom, and it was the best rest stop I’ve made.
We grabbed a few things, and my friend purchased the carrot cake. The extremely friendly person working there apparently owns the recipe, and it’s an amazing recipe at that. She wouldn’t let us leave until we tried a bite of it so she could see our reactions (of awe). Seriously, go here for the carrot cake if you’re remotely near the place. It’s made with magic or something.
The old-​timey aisle signs and fantastic service with a personal touch make this a guaranteed stop on any future trips to Seattle, not to mention the delicious carrot cake.

A General Store in DuPont!
This place is a treasure and has been sorely needed for about 50 years.
Stop by if you want fresh produce, tasty deli offerings, or need to pick up that odd item to complete your own recipes at home. Next time you’re here, try mixing and matching your own six pack of cream sodas!
