We watched the Katama General Store transform from a very modest, rustic oversized shed that specialized in creating "sandwiches for your picnic at South Beach" into the impressive structure that you see today. The KGS continues to evolve and, this year, we appreciated the upgraded...outdoor dining area that is made up of 4? classic picnic tables with umbrellas protected by raised beds on three sides that contain spectacular plantings. And then there's the wraparound porch, which was the best part of the major renovation a few years back. Comfortable rockers are strategically placed throughout this spacious outdoor area that is protected by the elements and provided shelter when we got caught in the rain during a bike ride recently; there is plenty of parking for bikes in racks in the front and for cars on the side. I have not been as impressed by the offerings inside; admittedly, I have not made a significant effort to purchase those items that are available. In an effort to meet the trends of the day, the goods may be perceived as too upscale and overpriced. That said, I did enjoy snacking on the innovative, women-founded CoolHaus ice cream sandwich. I have not indulged on the separately advertised pizza and sushi nights so I cannot speak to the quality of the dinner fare. I can't help but feel that the Katama General Store has great potential; all of the ingredients are there for it to be an island gem. If the KGS continues to evolve in positive ways, you will continue to see me rocking on the porch!More
