“I haven’t had the pleasure to visit this shop in person but had a wonderful online experience. The owner was remarkably timely with responses and shipping was surprisingly fast, even over a holiday weekend. It was clear the packager took their time to hand wrap items and even included a handwritten note. It’s the little things that show they care. This is the kind of business that you feel good about supporting, I can’t recommend them more. Shop small, gain big !”
“Every summer, I find THE softest, cutest Maine hoodies for my grandsons here! Last year, I even matched them with a hoodie of my own. . .can't wait to see 2024 hoodies. :o)”
“I give the store 5 stars for the excellent service I received. Three of the employees in the store went out of their way to help me, including the owner. I have been going to the store for over 15 years, and have always loved the place. Lots of wonderful things to see! And thing's you cannot find elsewhere.”

“What a lovely shop! As we entered, Rick, the kind shopkeeper, said "Are you okay with dogs?" And we said "Sure! Are you okay with kids?" He was, and he let the three kids pet Digger, his dog, while my sister and I looked around at all the paintings, prints, jewelry, and sculptures by different artists. We bought three beautiful glass buoys to hang in our windows. Thank you for such a friendly, welcoming experience! You run a beautiful, sunny little gallery and we'll be back again someday.”
“We have visited Sweet Bay several times and bought gifts both for others and ourselves. The handwork and designs are extraordinary, and the staff has always been especially helpful.
This is our second annual jaunt to Boothbay Harbor, and Sweet Bay is definitely on our list of reasons that we will be return next year!”
“We used to stop when I was a child for three days on our way back from Nova Scotia. We loved browsing the Smiling Cow to find trinkets to buy, this was in the 60’s. My husband and I went a few years ago and I got a sweatshirt that I still wear! The shop is wonderful!!”

“We came to this local shop on our honeymoon and it did not disappoint! Wonderful selection of local clothing and trinkets. Donna was very helpful and the sweetest woman we encountered on our trip.”
“love this store. i wish i lived closer and didn’t already have a car full of items — i would have purchased several of the household items from the back of the store. interesting items and good prices!”
“Great Shop with lots of the Old Maine Flag from 1901 on many items near the front of the store. The largest variety of LazyOne Pajama’s I’ve ever seen in any shop across the world. The new knife display really brightens up the front. Nice selection of Men’s and Women’s sale items. Staff was very knowledgeable about store history as well as community history. They were all friendly and funny, if not a little quirky which just adds to the charm in my opinion.”
“Highly recommend this store. It has vintage looking toys and candy as well as an ice cream section. The workers are all super friendly. If you're in the area, tourist or local, this place is a must to stopping by”
