Love Cressman's! We're local so we go up often. They have THE BEST assortment of on site made cookies (careful they are addicting) they also have some of the best breakfast burritos and take and bake pizzas. The staff is awesome!

It looks like an old, tiny general store attached to a gas station- which it is. What's surprising is the homemade baked goods for sale there. They have the BEST cookies I have EVER tasted in my life! Love their snickerdoodles & salted carmel brown butter cookies! It's worth the drive up there just for one of those heavenly treats!

I wish this store was the first store I had gone in. However it's at the end of town as your going up the mountain. We didn't stop here till we were leaving, but had I known, they had everything I was looking for! I had forgotten a pot and pan and low and behold, they had exactly what I needed. Friendly staff and very clean store. Only Pepsi products though. No coke . Picked up some rocks as souvenirs and was invited to the donkey basketball tournament . Staff said it was loads of fun if we wanted some good entertainment and a good reason to come back.

Stop here. Buy gas, and whatever else you're forgot, and cookies! These are the best cookies on the planet and they are a bargain price. No kidding. We went to Lake Tahoe and paid almost twice as much for cookies half as good.

Stopped here on my vacation last week. The hot little cashier who apparently doesn t know math gave me the wrong change. I asked for $40 in fuel and paid with a $100 bill. She gave me $10 back? So when I pointed out i paid with a $100 she argued that i gave her a $20? You confused by that too? Well it made her mad. Then she saw me throw away a small paper mcdonalds bag with some trash in it from breakfast. She got so mad she took it out of the trash can and threw it at my car!!!! Said I wasn t allowed to dump trash if i was going to accuse her of stealing. What the actual eff is wrong with .. wait she was either high or drunk or both?

Great tri-tip sandwich and awesome cookies. Nice little stop heading up or downhill. Not a ton of parking but usually can squeeze in. Can be a little challenge if you stop on the way up as you have to time up and downhill traffic.

Working around there, this store is a definite stop! Breakfast beer rocks are good, sandwiches for lunch are as good as you want them. Staff are always friendly and nice. It's always a good feeling when you walk in hearing the locals and the staff talking. Love this place

A great store at the summit to purchase sandwiches, drinks, snacks like cookies, chips and beef jerky. Beer and other adult beverages for after the sun goes down. Every spring Sole 2 Soul sponsors a half marathon called "Heavenly Half" which starts near this store. I love this place, beautiful year round and friendly service. Highly recommended and in 2019, I'll be back for my fifth year!

This store has been here for as long as I can remember. Great place to stop at the top of four lane before heading into Shaver. We had a delicious sandwich made to order. And they have clean restrooms.

I hope you set up a go fund me. You deserve a quick rebuild. I love this store and wish you the best recovery. Please stay strong and positive. 2020 is a mess, but with human perseverance, we will survive this year. God bless.

Good people here. So much home cooked goodness to choose from. Please support Cressman's in any way you can. The sooner they get a kitchen built, the sooner we can all start enjoying their baked goods again!

Best cookies, cheese cake, entrees, pies, and customer service. I get a cookie every change I get, and we order pies and cheese cake for all the holidays. Their customer service is so personable, its like visiting an old friend.

I love Love LOVE this place! My father in law lives within walking distance from Cressman's, so when I am visiting him, Cressman's is my morning favorite spot. I love to sip on my coffee and have one of their wonderful morning pastries in the seating out front to watch the sun rise. They have pretty much anything you need and then some. The owners are great people, very friendly and helpful about the area. I feel at home at Cressman's!

Can't wait tell they get the new building up. They use to have so many home made goods. Still stop in and buy a shirt or something to help support.

Today is 9/8/2020. I used to see this place every time heading to shaver. I knew we were close. The fire has now burned it down. You will be missed. Maybe God let y'all rebuild this historic piece. I'm so sorry.

The best chocolate chip cookies in the planet are found right here!!!! I usually get a dozen. If I didn't have to share I'd probably finish them all myself!

Everything is good here. Their browned butter salted caramel cookies are amazing, gas is cheaper than in town and they have great entrees to go

Good food and mountain folk service. This is my local eze Mart. Gas prices are the same as in the flat lands. Watch parking, it can be confusing, old tollhouse Rd is 5 feet from the front door so park between the old and new hwy.

Cressman's is under new ownership but the tradition of the old general store vibe is safely in tact! These kinds of places are few and far between these days. It's nice to know the new owners were carefully selected by the sellers to insure that Cressman's remains true to its heritage and retains its historical charm. Thanks, Keith, Vince and Jean for all the memories. Happy Trails!

Best place to buy pies, cookies, sweets in the fresno area. Worth the trip up the hill. Call ahead because they run out. Amazing.

My car broke down going up the grade on the 168, and these folks were very helpful. Some open wifi in that spot would really be helpful.

They are back and rebuilding. In the meantime, they have the temporary container for the store and pumps in front. So glad to hear Cressman's will rise again!
