Chilmark General Store

ShoppingChilmark

Chilmark General Store sits on State Road near Beetlebung Corner in Chilmark, on Martha's Vineyard. It describes itself as a community market, pizzeria, café, and sandwich shop. A community store has stood here since 1875, when it was E. Eliot Mayhew's store, and the landmark porch is still where up-island neighbors meet for coffee. The kitchen serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner to go or on the porch: hand-tossed pizza, sandwiches on Pain D'Avignon bread, and organic coffee. Shelves hold produce from island farms and the store's own garden, plus cheeses and everyday basics. Husband-and-wife owners Joel Glickman and Jennifer LoRusso have run it since 2011.
