"The General Store has served our community for several decades. This is my favorite post office. The small grocery is well served with convenient items. The store makes excellent sandwiches and soups. One of our most favorite items is the lemon bar. Not rare when we take their entire stock. The staff is very friendly. We love having this historical store close to home," one TripAdvisor reviewer wrote.

Another added, "The post office in the old general store reminds you of a movie from the 1930s. Still functioning and a part of the general store, an interesting part of the history of Washington Township, NJ. Worth a visit and an ice cream cone."
