Known for Village General Store Format Daily Baked Loaves Picnic Outfitter Flinders Village Anchor [Reserve a table]() +61 3 5989 0111 Why we’d go Flinders General Store is the reason Flinders Village still feels like a village, a working general store that earns its place on the main street. Flinders General Store is the reason Flinders Village still feels like a village. The building is a proper country general store, timber floors, high shelves, a bell on the door, and it holds the things you actually need for a weekend down here: slow-drip coffee, a daily loaf from the on-site bakery, proper breakfast sandwiches to eat in or take to the Blowhole walk, and a small grocery shelf of Peninsula pantry essentials. Use it as your morning coffee stop on a Flinders weekend. Use it as your picnic outfitter before the walk to West Head. Use it as the casual lunch option when you want something lighter than a pub meal. The team runs the place with unfussy warmth and the pastry cabinet, lemon slice, custard tarts, an honest sausage roll, is better than it needs to be. The proper working heart of the village. If you are based in Flinders for more than a night, you will use it every morning.
