The Common Good Cafe & General Store; Belfountain's General Store

Folks, you should be checking the expiry date when buying merchandise from this store. Unfortunately owners do not check their inventory (which is very small). I bought a small jar of horseradish today that has expired almost two months ago. I live far enough so that the drive back to Belfountain wouldn’t make sense. I hope I would be able to reuse this beautiful jar.

I ordered a coffee and a sandwich, which took over 40 minutes to make! If I hadn't taken the employee in charge of making sandwiches to the side after some time waiting, I never would have gotten it as they were not told I had ordered one in the first place. (Coffee 35 minute wait, sandwich 40).Orders get stacked in a pile and the barista makes their way through them. Multiple stacks end up pushed to the end of the work station. I saw the cashier look through the cups by putting their fingers inside after handling money to reorganize them.In the hour and a half I was there I saw a tray of in- progress croissants being enjoyed by a handful of flies.I really wanted to like this place and support them- I drove out of my way to do so. On paper they sound like a revelation, and a gift to the community. Sadly I would not recommend them as basic food safety was not being followed, in addition to very poor service. The hot drinks are on the smaller size for what you pay.

Parking: Horrible parking, very limited. Do not park along the side of the street. I would say there are 6 spots total depending on how well people park their cars to optimize space.

Excellent place to stop by. Very inclusive, variety of snacks and other goodies

Pretty cool please , alot of options for icecream and tea . Stuff is pretty awesome and looks hand made. Love the character of the place .There was loose tea in glass jars and its own corner to buy too. You can sit on the side of the building and enjoy your drink or dessert

The place looked very pretty and quaint. We went in and it was a pretty collection of auction items as well as a small ice cream parlor and also a bakery. Very nice experience. I bought a book I had been looking for a long time - Interview with a vampire.

The cozy vibes in here away from the city life yet no so far of a drive. I tried tea latte with lemon loaf and grilled cheese sandwich oh gosh I can still remember the taste in my mouth explosion of butter and cheese on every single bite mphhmmmm!

A small square in the city of Bell Fountain. Benches aree places outside to sit and 2 cafes are located there on the road side. Nice food, souvenirs and ice cream available here

Place is a discovery...a collection of different items to choose from...coffee is good .....I didn't have a taste for their peppermint mocha ....but it sure was fresh...besides that , store is worth giving a try

Nice place to hang out and coffee is a must try.

Quaint cafe nestled in the area of Bel fountain. Loved the pepper mint mocha. This place is a must visit in every season as it has a different charm in different seasons. The service is also really amazing. If you’re fond of artisanal merchandise then you would love the collection at the store.

It was heartwarming to see such a store in the countryside. Their hot chocolate was good and the overall ambience and vibe of the store was rustic and it felt really nice to be in there for a short whileDo check this out if you go to the Belfountain area

It's always a nice place to stop after a ride. Service was a bit slow abs washrooms were out of service. I thought it was a bylaw if you had seats. Carrot cake and hot chocolate was yummy. Staff was friendly. Will definitely go again next spring.

Lovely place must visit and try thier food as well as enjoy the location with nature....

Used to be a quaint and charming village store,we loved to visit. Now selling high end trendy goods for some reason. Waited very, very long time to cash out because the ice cream counter shares the lone cash register. Belfountain village has changed quite a lot. Hard pressed to find parking.

What a lovely, lovely place. I adore the charm and the hominess I was immediately wrapped in. Thank you for sticking to your values, to ethically sourced products, to fluidity and a welcome place for lgbtq . And darn it! Down home goodness. I have you mapped for my next travel your way, keep going, your shop has my ❤
