Crema's Take
“The Floodgate Store is a genuinely charming local hub where the owner's warmth sets the tone—reviewers consistently mention John's welcoming presence alongside spotless bathrooms and in-house made breakfasts that justify a stop. You're getting solid espresso-based drinks and genuinely excellent panini sandwiches in a historic building that feels like an actual community gathering place, not a tourist trap. If you're passing through Boonville, this deserves to be on your route.”
What to expect
