The Best Sandwiches In Iowa Are From A Williamsburg Gas Station

When driving through Iowa’s rural eastern parts, you might not see anywhere to stop and fuel up for a while. A roadside gas station can be a blessed sight – especially when there are a few surprises being sold there! That’s definitely the case for Colony Point, a small convenience store and deli inside a BP gas station in the town of Williamsburg. About a half-hour from Cedar Rapids and 17 miles south of the Amana Colonies, this humble spot is worth a visit – because it serves some of the best sandwiches in Iowa! A deli counter makes them to order, but the secret is in the ingredients. How are these simple ham sandwiches so good? It’s because the meat comes from one of the most iconic areas in Iowa – and that’s not the only reason to pay a visit to Colony Point.

From the exterior, Colony Point is hidden in what looks like an ordinary BP gas station.

However, locals know that this isn't just a great place to fuel up the truck - it's a great place to fuel up the passengers and driver as well!

This large convenience store is located in a barn-like building, and it is packed with both packaged standards and a few specialty local products.

The best way to taste the difference is to head up to the deli counter, where you can get sandwiches made to order.

You can either order one of the set combos, or customize your own sandwich for a reasonable price.

The sandwiches are large, satisfying, and made on fresh, fluffy bread - but what makes them taste so special?

The difference is in the meat - specifically the ham, which comes from the Amana Meat Shop & Smokehouse.

The meat is also sold on-site packaged, as are dairy products, so you can get all your favorites without driving all the way up to the Amana Colonies.

The deli itself is old-school and has no online presence, but if you want to visit the source of that delicious ham, make sure to check out Amana Meat Shop & Smokehouse’s website or the shop’s Facebook page. For another roadside stop you shouldn’t miss, check out this delicious breakfast cafe.
