About Us

Welcome to The Rome Store, your cozy roadside haven nestled in the heart of Whatcom County. Here, we blend the charm of a local shop with the delightful offerings of an artisanal kitchen and grocery store, all under one roof.

Start your day with a bold espresso crafted from locally roasted beans, paired perfectly with our selection of fresh pastries baked daily. As the morning unfolds, savor the aroma of scratch-made pizzas bubbling in our oven, featuring toppings sourced from nearby farms for a truly farm-to-table experience.

Explore our shelves that include a curated assortment of products, from maple syrup and honey to our featured local artists and selection of gifts. We also have a variety of kitchen staples and household items.

For lunch or a quick bite, our deli section offers a select variety of sandwiches, salads, and breakfast burritos. Indulge your sweet tooth with ice cream from our freezer, or treat yourself to a decadent piece of cheesecake from our bakery selection.

If you're a beer enthusiast, don't miss out on our local options. We offer growler fills, so you can take home your favorite brews fresh from the tap. Looking for something to pair with your meal or to enjoy on a relaxing evening? Explore our curated collection of wines, ciders and hard kombuchas.

Got chickens? We’ve got you covered with our range of chicken feed ensuring your feathered friends are well-nourished.
