The Little Store

it is a really little store. i drive by here every day i work. usually i have breakfast at home but decided to try to grab something here for a change. parking lot was packed at 830am. about 10 zombie like people inside and 1 person making food, nobody acknowledged i walked in and the zombies were pretty much making it impossible for me to figure out what they offered for food here or how to order, so i left.
crowded so it must be ok, or it could be the only thing on this road for 5 miles in either direction. check it out when the parking lot is empty.

The people working here seem really really nice which is why it pains me to say their pizza isn’t very good.
My guess is the dough from A & M Bronx Baking in New York isn’t working for them. Why people feel it’s necessary to advertise they get dough from 90 miles away is beyond me. People think New York and automatically think it MUST be good. Well the pizza from The Little Store flushes that theory down the toilet. Unfortunately the three best words to describe their crust is Pizza Hut crust.
Pizza is only made on the weekends. Their deli counter is always available, but always is perhaps a poor choice of words because The Little Store has very limited hours.

This place is great. Breakfast sandwiches have historically been their forte. Lunch is a good solid meal, but basic (unless they are running a special or have made a soup. but I’ll come back to that), and they have recently added pizza in the evenings, Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. The pizza is over the top.
For a deli that is, for all intensive purposes, in the middle of nowhere, the food here is very good, and very reasonable. I think their bread comes from somewhere in NYC, so that is definitely a selling point for anything you would order with a roll. Like I said earlier, the breakfasts are really good. They will make any sandwich you want to order at any time if they have the ingredients. Lunch is a solid deli menu with lots of fresh col-​cuts and some pasta salad options, but in the fall and winter seasons they seem to step it up with lunch specials, soup options, and so forth. The soups, when they have them are worth stopping in for. Finally, like I said before, the pizza is new, but has not been a let down. They have some pizzas you will not find anywhere else that are off-​shots from their lunch and breakfast menus. I won’t ruin it, but suffice to say, check it out… thin crust, loaded with toppings, and very good.

The Little Store is, unsurprisingly a little store in North Guilford that’s open most days til 6 (I think Sunday they’re open til 1), primarily serving the breakfast and lunch crowd.
They have a small selection of deli meats and prepared foods, and often have a small board of specials. They will make whatever sandwich you want and put it on wonderful rolls or subs — the bread there is really good.
Some of my favorites from The Little Store are egg and cheese sandwiches on rolls for breakfast, or chicken parm sub for lunch.
It’s a nice little deli in an area of Guilford where there isn’t much of anything — you can drive for miles in either direction on Rt 77 and not see another spot to stop for lunch.

We love the little store for the following reasons. Great breakfast sandwiches. I pop in when I am driving the kids to school for a coffee and sandwich. The people are always friendly and the coffee is hot. Me and my son Evan pop in for chicken cutlet sandwiches at lunch. They have bagels but I particularly like that they bake muffins fresh each morning. there is a rumor that they are going to do pizza… we can only hope!

A great place to grab a coffee, a breakfast sandwich, and/​or a Morning Glory muffin if you’re on the road headed into or out of Guilford on Route 77. Sandwiches are made to order using only high quality ingredients and have always been delicious. Usually several blends of coffee are available daily. The Morning Glory muffin will, indeed, make your mornings glorious. It is probably one of the best breakfast muffins I have had and it’s the kind of muffin that will leave you thinking about it long after it’s been devoured. So moist, with carrots, raisins, cinnamon, bran.
Aside from the deli, it actually is a little store that carries some standard grocery items as well as some products you wouldn’t typically find at a regular store. The owners are always working and are some of the warmest, friendliest people I have met in Connecticut.
Despite having a decent sized sign out front, It can be easy to miss as it looks sort of like a little house and there are no other businesses around it. It’s located in a farmy residential area close to a lake, so the setting is very pretty, which makes it even more difficult to spot ’cause you might find yourself staring at the lovely cows or beautiful farmhouses in the picturesque setting as you drive along the road — so keep your eyes peeled and your GPS on!
