Robinson's General Store

It is a signature store. Beside its unique ambient, the staff are so friendly, kind and helpful. Must be Muskoka people culture. Highly recommend. Make sure you visit the second floor, they have nice souvenir shop there.

Best. Store. Ever.Grocery, gifts, trendy clothes, bathing suits, locally sourced products, INCREDIBLE gelato, café, home hardware, cottage essentials and everything in between.Recently switched owners and they are improving it tons every year.

This is quite a store. Downdown Dorset is quite something. It is tiny and has a lot to offer. Stunning views, right around the hardware store, and the hardware store itself are worth visiting this town. If you can afford to buy a cucumber for $5.00, you are pretty well set and don't have to go to anywhere else, for anything. Inside you find a hardware corner, a Christmas corner (just in case...), isles with freezers and coolers, home made jams and preservatives, a bakery, fresh products, a deli counter, a souvenir department bigger than any Trading Post in the area, fresh produce, and the list goes on and on. If you dare walking up those stairs, you end up walking through a gallery of pictures for sale and a cloths boutique with the cute name Red Onion". Cottage cloths

I can see why it has been voted best general store, it is a crazy mix of three different businesses (home hardware, the red onion and the general store) into one location. You can get everything from groceries, to kitchen wares and outdoor wear or local pottery all in the same place. Staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable and prices were more than reasonable. Will be back next year.

So surprised that I can find so many diverse products here, from unique flavors' KitKat to palm pals! However, it seems always busy.

Great little store. I took one star off because of pricing was quite high.

Starting to make a comeback....pleasure to shop there today

This general store sits in the heart of Dorset. Overflowing with so much rustic character, it's an absolute must if you are visiting the area. There have everything you need plus tons of locally made crafts and foods. They have so many things for your cottage and camping needs as well. Staff is super friendly and polite! I love coming here to shop and looking around. That atmosphere of this place completes the weekend retreat. A must visit every time you go up to visit. Spend money and support your local communities and farmers. Stay safe out there my friends and please, be kind to one another!

Double maybe triple the cost of anywhere else. Last year before they closed they were comparable to most grocery stores. Plan on doing your groceries in Bracebridge before coming up here. Rip off!

Good. Less stock than previous years but expected post COVID. A fun stop in a beautiful little town.
