The Open Door at Alley’s Ol’ Store

A landmark in beautiful Lakemont, The Open Door at Alley’s Ol’ Store oozes charm and authenticity. Built in 1925, the historic building served as the town’s general store, community center and post office for most of the 20th Century.

The pretty green storefront opens into a small friendly cafe with counter seating and tables. Outside dining is available on the front porch and on a large covered patio. There’s a boutique upstairs and groceries and convenience items available in the back.
