The Store

Tiny countryside general-store cafe curating local produce and serving honey-drenched crumpets.

Ventnor's local cafe and general store on Ventnor Road — a cosy stop for coffee, fresh food and takeaway on the quieter north-west side of the island.

The kitchen turns out pastries, salads, toasties and seasonal dishes with a creative twist, and the coffee — expertly sourced beans — is the house point of pride.

Open every day, 7am to 3pm — or as the site puts it, "3pm-ish".
