Handy Stop is a convenience store located just off I-95 in Howland, Maine. The store has takeout food, fresh groceries, fresh meats, fresh fruits, fresh made pizza, local ice cream, and a pretty decent selection of grocery, produce, veggies, hot foods, cold food, and a large selection of beer and cider. The Rodeo burger was loaded and the bun was outstanding, and the Mushroom Swiss was outstanding. The steak egg and cheese breakfast sandwich is literally the best. People are friendly, service with a smile, and they will help with directions. Prices are a little extreme for some products, the small town has a nice place.
This little store is packed with a variety of not just convenience store items but home baked goodies! Pizza was fantastic but also the desserts. Pies, cinnamon rolls and cheesecakes for starters. All were delicious.
