Orient Country Store is one of those places that feels like it belongs exactly where it is. It sits near the end of the North Fork in Orient, close to the ferry, Orient Beach State Park, quiet roads, old houses, and the slower feel that makes the far east end special.

NoFo Times note
Orient Country Store is one of those places that makes the far end of the North Fork feel complete. It is simple, useful, full of character, and the food is genuinely excellent. Miriam, who runs the store, is a big part of what makes it special. She is always delightful to see and talk to, and the store has the kind of warmth that makes you want to come back even if you only stopped in for coffee or a sandwich. It is exactly the kind of place we love having nearby when we are out east: great food, good coffee, gifts, snacks, and a little bit of Orient in one place.
