Awesome store with handmade and cool finds! Drove down the road just to cross the bridge, and I had to stop at this building. The building and items were unique and fun to look at.

I had the nice experience of stopping by treats and treasures / first Connecticut Lake General Store. The staff was very friendly and if you didn't see something on the menu they would go out of their way and make it for you. I had two scrambled eggs with bacon and home fries and coffee. My mom had a delicious egg cheese and Canadian bacon breakfast sandwich with coffee. Both of us enjoyed the meal immensely.
