Where Sweetness is Supreme
Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: October 2024
Currently in their eighth season, the Historic Toxaway Market and Sweetwater Perk and Creamery have become famous in the community for friendly service and great products. And there’s ice cream!
Whether you live in the Sapphire or Lake Toxaway area or find yourself passing through on a fall road trip make it a point to stop at the Historic Toxaway Market at 15889 Rosman Highway and their sister business, Sweetwater Perk and Creamery, across the street at 15886 Rosman Highway and treat yourself to just the kind of charming locally-owned gourmet shops you hope to find.
The Historic Toxaway Market offers premium wines, craft beers, gourmet food items, honey, cheeses, fresh meats, local produce, organic items, including dairy, and locally produced items as well as gift items. Of course, they also carry your necessary day-to-day dry goods items.
Their grab-and-go frozen meals are a huge hit, offering a vast assortment of items to take and heat at home. What better way to simplify your dinner routine than selecting an item from their well-stocked freezer? Soups and pot pies are particularly popular heading into the fall season.
Sweetwater Perk and Creamery hits all the sweet spots that customers need from a full barista bar that can whip up any of your favorite hot or cold coffee beverages, to baked goods and ice cream.
How perfect is this idea?
Adults can enjoy their favorite coffee drinks accompanied by a delicious pastry while kids can enjoy ice cream in a cone or cup or any other of their favorites from milkshakes to sundaes. Can’t decide between coffee or ice cream? Then enjoy an espresso milkshake! It’s a match made in heaven. No more family arguments over where to stop. Stop here and make the whole family happy.
Owners Chris and Robin Pickel moved to the area in 2005 after falling in love with it while on vacation in 2000. They take great pride and get much enjoyment out of serving their neighbors and the community they love so well. Neighborhood gathering spots like these are what make our mountains so special.
Historic Toxaway Market is currently open Thursday through Saturday 11:00 A.M. until 6:00 P.M. and Sweetwater is open Thursday through Saturday 8:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M. Summer hours are extended.
