Hard to Find Sodas and Beers at General Store Fort Pierce FL
By sandra. Filed in Florida, Food, Restaurant, United States |
P.P. Cobb General Store and Delicatessen was opened in 1860, by the first postmaster, Peter Paul Cobb. Cattle drives passed by during the day and fisherman on the pier stocked up.
You can still eat here and stock up with their eclectic mix. You can grab a carton and make your own 6-pack of hard- to-find sodas: Cheer Wine, Rebel Soda, Black Lemonade, Kama Sutra, Boylan‘s or 500 kinds of artisanal beers (San Miguel, Turbo Dog, Avalanche, Stouts).
Kids young and old will have fun at the candy stand: Boston Baked Beans, Zagnuts, Gold Rocks, red waxy lips, candy cigarettes, Double Bubble, waxy bottles of sugary liquid, and newer larvets or crick-ettes, insects in amber candy, and cookie dough nibbles.
The husband and wife team open for breakfast (homemade sausages, omelettes) or lunch. There’s homemade soups: roasted red peppers and sweet potato (can’t take off menu), creamy leek and potato, beef barley, and sandwiches on homemade bread, 10 paninis and 4 wraps.
Finish the meal with coffee, tea (iced green tea, genmai cha), homemade cookies, shakes (ginger custard), smoothies, root beer floats, or green tea ice cream. For a local taste try Florida fruit wines: orange, grapefruit and mango. If you need some there’s also soap made by Cherokees in Arizona.
