Reviews of St James General Store
"Kind of store you cant find anymore , with great history. If you are in the area , I recommend you visit it and buy something small."
"I take all my relatives here!! I'm in Nesconset and the road I live off of leads directly to the General Store and Short Beach and Long Beach in Nessiqouge. They still have inexpensive little candies to purchase (like you'd see in a movie set in the early 1900s or late 1800s). It is a well kept, quaint and an immaculate store. When you go up the stairs in the back you can hear creeks in the wood and just feel the history of the building. I still have a couple of silk bags filled with dried lavender that I purchased there. We got a couple of cute things, but the history is the most important part. The area surrounding the General store and it's Amazing history. I was told that this was the "oldest general store original " building" still "operating" in all of America". I may have misunderstood, I looked it up and there are a few other stores in Mass., etc. But there is some truth to the story I was told. There is a mansion close by that becomes a haunted house on Halloween. There are so many events. There are lakes and immaculate Beaches off of Moriches road, just within a couple of miles. Incredible History. If you rent a canoe or kayak from Bob's Canoes, You arrive at the bluff Just a short canoe ride or swim to Short Beach. And just around the other side, You can actually walk to the actual beach (passing people that are camping and having a ball)! There are bathrooms and an area to clean up if you're camping overnight. You could see the boats going by.. You can actually see Connecticut from these beaches. My cousins from Ohio cannot believe that they can hold a horseshoe crab that's way over a foot long. They don't have beaches in Ohio! At low tide, there becomes an island that goes on forever. You're waving to your friends/family sitting under the umbrella on the blanket at the beach and they look like a tiny ants. When you get to end of this little island during low tide, You just float.. If you close your eyes and look up it's like the Caribbean. There aren't any fish or scary things It's just clear water ALL the way out there (This is one of my little secret places to go). Can you imagine starting to canoe/kayak by the Smithtown "BULL" in a beautiful lake that suddenly seems dark and deep, canoeing by huge turtles, birds, fish and amazing mansions and old homes. I imagine you are halfway through the ride and all of a sudden, you look over the canoe into the water and begin to see the lake turning into the clearest water. It becomes shallow and you can see to the bottom where there are little rocks and little shells. Now it's salt water and there may be a tiny little tide. I can't learn enough about Smithtown, NY. After 50+ yrs. living in Smithtown - (all it's hamlets, such as Nesconset); is one of the BEST PLACES to Live on Long Island. I've never seen a crime. There is nothing missing for the BEST family life that you can imagine. You don't need to go upstate to relax. You don't need to go down south. Every season is so beautiful, It's at least 100 ft above sea level. Such a safe area to live in. Thank goodness for the St. Jame's General Store and all of its history."
"A true Long Island classic. Great gifts, and friendly staff. It's a fun way to step back in time."
"I haven't been inside this store in about 25 yrs or so. i grew up near here and the last time I was here was in the early 1990s or so. It hasn't really changed much inside but the exterior is completely renovated. When you walk in the smell is so pleasant and inviting. A mix of the chocolate and candy as well the candles wash over you with a hint of the old wood interior form this landmark. So many interesting things to see here and buy if you like. Get a honey stick or rock candy pop. Brings you back in time. 5+++stars love this store."
