This Greenwich Starbucks is located next to the Whole Foods Market on Putnam Avenue. Despite Starbucks' national name, this store conveys a surprisingly strong community feeling. The staff is extremely friendly and eager to recommend their favorite drinks. In addition to a large selection of gourmet coffee and tea, Starbucks offers sodas, juices, sandwiches, salads, fresh fruit and desserts. Bags of ground coffee and various coffee related accessories, such as mugs and tumblers are also available.
Established in 1801, the Round Hill Store is the oldest store of its kind in the area. Owners John and Robin Vanacore like to think of the place as a general store that sells a little bit of everything.
In addition to its deli, the store sells penny candy, fruits and vegetables, dried and canned goods, household items, flower and vegetable seeds and toys.
The Round Hill Store is really half store and half museum. Mr. Vanacore is a Lionel model train collector and dealer and also carries a large assortment of antique books, sheet music, games, toys and other trinkets from the past 200 years.
The couple claims to have the best coffee in town, blended locally to their specifications. They also sell Greek Ariston Olive Oil in easily refillable bottles.
Although secluded from the rest of Greenwich, the Round Hill Store has an incredibly tight-knit, community feel. Mr. Vanacore points out that they try to be good neighbors, often loaning out tools or staying open late to run store generators when the power goes out in town.
