When you’re on the road and hungry for a snack, there’s no better sight than a convenience store at the side of the road. While typically not 5-star restaurants, it’s fun to load up on snacks for the ride. But there are times when we’re actually hungry. Searching out the best waterfalls in the state can really make a person hungry! And, if you’re lucky, your stomach will grumble just as you’re pulling into Goffstown which means this secretly delicious cafe is the perfect place to stop!

You don’t need an empty tank of gas for a reason to pull into this Mobil station in Goffstown. What you do need is an empty stomach because Charlie’s, the cafe hidden inside, is ready to fill your belly!
