Lovely little cafe right off the main road. Gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options clearly marked. Food was delicious, employees were nice, and they have a great little assortment of shop items for the casual browser or buyer.

Helen and Simon are terrific people, you'll typically find them here... Actually I'm not even sure if they ever go home?!!There's an improved produce section that now has refrigeration... This has vastly improved the quality of our general store.The shelves are lining up more soldiered to resemble Gelsons. Great job!! Looking good!!If you spend some time looking around the store, you'll find that in a very curious way, it has almost everything you're looking for!! If you need something a little more gourmet you can go across the street to canyon gourmet but it's remarkable how well Helen, Simon and the rest of the Young family select the products that are on the shelves.Having lived in Topanga my entire life, I can still remember when there was an ice cream parlor just across the street from our general store. I used to always want the rainbow sherbet. Years ago the owner of the General Store used to be Joe...do you remember??So I always try to leave some suggestions for the owners because I really want businesses in our community, particularly one that is a cornerstone of our community to excel and improve and make even more money while serving all of us in a greatly needed and appreciated way.My main suggestion is to clean and get rid of all of the cobwebs that we can see in the front part of the store up high, over the door and surrounding, as we are checking out. Do some dusting and keep everything looking tidy.So I would say this is a three-star review. Highly trending towards four star as Helen has shared with me that they are going to be doing some improvements!I am truly excited to see where the store goes!You might ask why it's not a higher review. I want our general store to look fresh and clean and new and not look like it did when I was a child growing up in the mid '70s.... when it actually was new! ☺️If we all can do our best to shop more frequently there then perhaps Simon and Helen can find it in them to make these updates.This review will be updated routinely as I anticipate great advancements. 👍👍6.26.2023Update: Each time we visit the General Store, things look like they are better organized and presented as well as having fresher stock. Hoping we keep on this trajectory as it would be really cool to have the General Store in Topanga be like a smaller version of what we can find at Whole Foods or Erewhon, yet supporting our local business. We NEED this place to thrive for all of us. Raising to 4 Stars. Keep it up, guys!

Real deal well stocked general store. By the way the Kimchee sold near the meat section is amazing. I think the owners make it themselves.

Went to the Canyon Bistro in town last night, had a bowl of some of the best clam chowder and garlic bread, I have ever eaten. This evening we ate at LaChingona tacos stand, I ordered the shrimp tacos, they were excellant. The staff in both places were very kind, helpful and friendly.

On way through topanga stopped and bought 17.77 worth of stuff, checked my bank later they had actually charged me 177.77. Phone number for store does not work and it appears I'm just out 160$...Edit: 1 day laterNo idea how they got my phone number. But they called me and gave me a refund, followed by an apology call from the owner. Super honest

One of my favorite General stores and I dont even live around here.I come here and stop on my way to or back from hiking.I learned that Jim Morrison of the Doors used to come here. Not sure the validity.The store has lots of great snacks and cold beverages.Staff is nice and friendly.Parking is easy.

This place is the cats meow. Excellent quality groceries. The deli, food, and wine is of the utmost calibur. I couldn't recommend it highly enough when in the region.

Please start putting date and time stamps on prepared food. I used to buy sandwiches all the time (even though expensive) until I got home and noticed mold on the 2 tamale I bought. Once I see this I will start buying again. (I think it’s required by the health department)

Nice owners and staff. Good selection for the size. Often overpriced, but that’s not surprising for the main little grocer in a small out-of-the-way town.

A stop here may well serve a Sunday drive a treat. Cute shops in a rustic atmosphere lend well to the Topanga Canyon over well flavor. Stop here for home made frozen fruit-pops or how about a pizza...

Are you joking me with your good reviews ??! This store sells the same stuff as many other places 3x times the price !! No thank you. Will do the extra 15 minutes.

I am one of the Topanga Trash Warriors, who meet once a week and vacuum up debris (so to speak - we actually pick up whatever lands (and doesn't belong)on the ground, hillsides, in the creek, along Topanga Canyon Blvd. One of our steps is portions of Topanga Creek such as the parking lot at the market.

Need more Topanga Creeker stickers for tourists like me who love stickers. Otherwise, they make amazing salsa daily!!

Grumpy old man in deli forces chili on food - if customer does NOT want than HE has bad attitude for transaction

First time I'd been in the store in many, many years. As I remembered, it had a little bit of everything.

Pricey but good in a pinch. 1 of 2 grocery stores in the area. I only go to this one.
