And my story continues. But if you’re new here, here’s the tale…
My husband’s best friend Lewis took us on a road trip to parts of North Carolina and Tennessee in June, and he took us hiking to the summit of Max Patch. But we fueled ourselves first before going on that hike. I previously shared about what we had for lunch that day and today, I’m going to share about the restaurant and what Lewis got me.
The Facade
I previously mentioned about how the facade of the restaurant wowed me as soon as we parked. It felt like we just arrived home to enjoy a good home-cooked meal. It has that homey feel to it.
As I mentioned in my previous post, the name of the restaurant is Trust General Store & Cafe.

This was the front, and with the greeneries surrounding it, it sure felt like you’re in the middle of nowhere. We’d never been in this part of the state before.
View from the Inside

This was the view from where we were seated. It was on a Thursday so there were not many people there although there were motorcycle riders who were just about to leave when we arrived.
The Porch

I just loved their huge porch. I could sit there all day and just enjoy the passersby and the calmness of the area. You see that bear? He’s cute! 🙂

Love all the rocking chairs! I was standing right in front of the cafe entrance when I took this photo, and that part where the signage is is the general store.

Love all the hanging ferns as well!
I was busy taking all these pictures at the porch when Lewis told me he’s going to get me a trinket. And I have to choose whichever one I want. That was so sweet of him.
The General Store
They have a lot of great and adorable stuff for sale at their general store.

There’s Lewis and the hubs. I always take candid photos of them. I hope they don’t kill me. Haha!
The Trinket

And here’s the beautiful trinket that Lewis got me. I love accessories and this bracelet is such a wonderful addition to my collection. He said it was my Christmas present. Yep, I got a Christmas present as early as June. Yay!
It was such a fun and exciting day spent with Lewis. We couldn’t thank him enough for taking us and showing us to places we’d never been to before. Until our next trip!
This sounds like an amazing place to visit. The general store is something that I would love to shop in. thanks for sharing this with us.
I agree, that is a fabulous porch. I would love to relax on it with a book!
The place looks good for me for a trip, and also the trinklet looks pretty!
I love that rustic feel, and the porch definitely is a place I would also sit for hours.
I too have to take candid shots of my family. They tend to not want to be in my articles either.
Sounds like a lovely place. I really love the outside with the porch. Very beautiful.
Oh, what a nice place to stop by! I know my daughter would adore one of those bracelets too.
I thought this was a Cracker Barrel to be honest which is my favorite place to eat like ever! Reminds me of home with I miss so much. I would for sure LOVE this place as places like this are my favorite 😉
The porch and view is all worth it to visit this place. I would love to stop by!
The layout reminds me of a less crowded Cracker Barrel and the trinket is so cute!
The outside of the restaurant that you visited seems pretty and inviting. I love the bracelet that Lewis bought for you. It’s very pretty and would look great worn either on its own or with other bracelets.
I love that porch too! It’s so relaxing! I am so glad that you had a nice trip!
I love everything about that place. It is so beautiful and it feels so relaxing to be there!
It sounds like a great place to eat. This is a great article, thanks for sharing!
That outdoor porch is so cute. I hope you enjoyed your trinket!
I love my trinket! 😊
that porch is so wonderful! and those rocking chairs perfect to relax for a bit after a hike
The bracelet is lovely. I’m glad you had a great time with Lewis.
