The Store - Anacortes, Washington

Onnei

The Store is a unique blend of a liquor store, convenience store, bakery, and a cozy mom-and-pop restaurant. We stopped by to pick up some muffins before starting our day. Though it's a small bakery, it offers an impressive variety of muffin flavors—Chocolate Chip Walnut, Almond Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Orange Blitz, Dutch Apple Pie, Cranberry Cream, Almond Poppy Seed, Apricot Cranberry, Butterbeer, Cranberry-Raspberry Walnut, Cinnamon Butterscotch, Chocolate-Dipped Macaroon, Cappuccino Dreams, White Chocolate Cranberry, Apple Oatmeal Spice, Crab-Peach Cobbler, and Fresh Peach. We tried six different muffin flavors, each with its own distinct taste, living up to the ingredients the muffin's named after.
We had Blueberry, almond chocolate chips, Dutch apple pie, chocolate chip walnut, cinnamon butterscotch, cherry lemonade

This place is a staple of this community. In the photo you see below, is a creme Brulee muffin. You read that right.
Don't skip this place. The baked goods are immaculate. Every person I've brought here loves this place. You might sit in a line for good reason.
Which muffin is best? All of em

Great little store with amazing muffins and pastries!!! Their muffins are HUGE and so delicious! Best blueberry muffin I have ever tasted! Excellent service by staff; super friendly. Large selection of wines if you are into that. Nice little seating area/room to sit down and eat. Would recommend stopping at this unique, treat of a place!

Found this place after a hike in the Anacortes community forest with my daughter and had lunch at the deli. Had the chicken salad on fergasa bread. Amazingly delicious. Also picked up two of their muffins on the way out. Also delicious, only one made to breakfast the next day. Great unexpected fine.

Really quaint little Bakery. Had one of their muffins a few days ago and they're very soft and moist and full of flavor. I also suspect there's about a thousand calories in one of these things.

Now the pastries are a different story. They look real Snappy but they lack flavor that butter brings to a product like this. They're obviously not using butter but oils and that really hurts a pastry product. I picked up four or five different pastry products and they all tasted very similar and had that very familiar tough dough feel that oils bring to a baked good.

Their muffins are amazing and so tasty! They have new flavors every day so each day that you visit is a surprise!

Okay...think about the best muffin you've ever had. Now, multiply it by two and add a quaint Anacortes storefront. Yep, you've pretty much got the perfect muffin. The Store - located literally a block off the main drag into downtown - is worth a quick side trip. Their muffin selection is off the charts, featuring flavor combinations rarely seen in the muffin-challenged PNW. Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake? Yes please. Several varieties of chocolate and/or fruit? Um, yeah. Not to mention, these babies are HUGE. I've never actually finished one in a single sitting. Usually I eat the tempting muffin top first, then save the rest for later.

The Store also has an incredible selection of wine (perfect spot to stop for a couple of bottles before you hit the islands), and other convenience store items plus a cute cafe in the back. They have coffee and espresso, and plenty of indoor seating if you want to enjoy your muffin on-the-spot (and avoid getting crumbs all over your car, don't ask me how I know).

Oh, and did I mention the folks who work there are super friendly too? Win win!

Very hard to decide on which delicious morsel to try from the bakery!! Finally went with the strawberry peach muffin and a carrot cake cookie for later. Also got an oat milk latte which was lovely and some garlic basil bread and artichoke dip for dinner. My friend got an assortment of cookies and the recommended wine (it was actually good, which coming from me who really doesn’t like wine is saying something!). Staff was friendly and upbeat and the entire store had a cozy feel. Would love to return!
