Alstead General Store is a wonderful, down-to-earth small-town general store with a friendly staff and good pricing. It offers a decent grocery selection given its size, alongside a lot of good baked goods and premade food. The homemade food is delicious, featuring items like the generous and flavorful "Chicken Bomb" sandwich on fresh ciabatta, sandwiches made from local beef, and classic hot dogs. It is a great place to grab a sandwich for lunch, with many customers appreciating the extended shopping hours. This old-fashioned little store is worthy of a five-star rating.
