Follow your nose and inhale the fragrant aromas of fresh Mexican cooking. Highly recommended by friends. I love to walk behind it to the library and smell the wafting spices from the kitchen. I'm allergic to some Mexican spices, but this place makes my mouth water and want to risk dealing with a reaction.

The Goodwin family have been in Crestline nearly as long as the first residents. They run the local grocery (Goodwins on the corner of Lake and Lake Gregory) and a general store (Oak Trunk next to the Post Office)
You can buy fresh produce and snow boots; coffee and a sandwich at the deli or quality meat or fresh fish at the meat/fish counter.
