The Kalona General Store is a true one-stop shop, offering a wide range of daily household and office items, as well as souvenirs, gifts, and locally produced foods like peanut butter, soup mixes, jams, spices, and candies. The in-store Eatery cafe serves a limited sandwich menu starting at noon. Customers praise the friendly, helpful staff and the overall pleasant shopping experience, though some find the store slightly crowded. The merchandise, while slightly expensive, is a unique opportunity to find Dutch and farm-themed products. While some items may have dated expiration dates, the quality is still excellent, and the store is highly recommended by both regular and new customers.
Lot of good stuff to buy! We had lunch and the food was wonderful.

I love this place, family-owned and completely renovated from its original state a few years ago. Great atmosphere, great shopping and perfect addition to Kalona downtown! Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area 😊

Such a friendly and helpful atmosphere with the new ownership. The lunchbox is a good addition to Kalona. They had a gluten free option for lunch too. I was surprised at all the variety of to things stocked. Truly lives up to the general store name.
