Amazing people! They're all so kind and I will definetly be a regular customer.

Fantastic place to stop and have coffee or a treat. Great atmosphere! Good service & People!

If you blink, you'll miss it. I just stopped into the Greenwood General Store. It might be out of the way for some but a go-to place for locals. There's more than meets the eye when you step into this quaint, small town store.

Glad to have a local coffee and ice cream shop that also carries a variety of snacks and general store items. Even have vegan ice cream options which is nice. Sandwiches available too. Overall nice clean atmosphere :)

I came about it by accident, and now I'll be a frequent customer. The place is historic and charming and the prices are competitive. Where else can you get a hot fudge sundae for six bucks. I just love this place!

Perfect place to enjoy the hot day! The turkey sandwich was amazing, and the Vanilla Latte hit the spot! Will definitely go back for cream and the homemade waffle cones!

Wonderful, sweet little general store. Lots of history, great atmosphere and yummy treats!!!

It’s wonderful to see the Greenwood General Store open again! My wife, daughter, and I live in Woodstock near Marian Central, and the short drive was absolutely worth it. We stopped in for ice cream and were genuinely impressed — it was excellent. As someone who isn’t a fan of chain options like DQ, I really appreciated the quality and taste here. Beyond the ice cream, the store offers a great selection of other items including breakfast sandwiches, a variety of coffee options, and more. While we haven’t tried those yet, they’ve definitely given us a reason to come back soon. If you're looking for delicious ice cream that’s a cut above the usual, give Greenwood General Store a try. It’s a great spot to support a local, small business that’s doing things right. We’ll definitely be returning!
