Very charming and quaint shop. Thomas is so personable and I probably could have chatted for hours! Being of Scandinavian ancestry myself it was a fun shopping experience.

They have a lovely store with unique items that would make great gifts and treasures. A bonus is the extended holiday hours, which can come in handy during the holiday rush. This store seemed to me it would be good for adult shoppers, although there are some neat items that are relevant to children.

SS varies a variety of products imported from Scandinavia or of Scandinavian design: tableware, writing instruments, books, soaps, jewelry, clothing, food and much more. This shop has something for everyone. We chatted with the very friendly owner for 15 minutes. I look forward to returning to this shop the next time I'm in Portland.

We came into the store while on vacation from Indiana and had the best experience. So much cool stuff that Tom was thrilled to tell us about. He wasn’t even “selling” us, he was just genuinely excited about the things in his shop. He was so friendly and helpful. I purchased a nice wallet and then 4 months later something happened to it that required a warranty exchange and he was happy to pull a copy of the receipt for me. I will definitely be back in next time I am in the area.

Small shop with surprisingly large selection of Scandinavian items. Lovely owner. The best selection of Marimekko napkins I have ever seen.

Thomas is the best. Nothing simple about this store. It's layered with great finds.

I've been visiting and shopping at "Simply Scandinavian" for over twenty years. I believe I now own over five DALE Skiing Sweaters from Tom Grant who is a "salt of the earth" kinda guy. Impressive merchandise from all over Scandinavia. It makes you happy just walking into the store! If you are visiting Portland, Maine do not miss a visit to this store. And, their on-line service is impeccable.

I recently got the results of my DNA test and found that I'm actually a percentage Swedish. My wife is a much larger percentage Norwegian. When we saw this store on a recent trip to Portland (Maine), we had to stop in and support them! Such an amazing selection of Scandinavian books, housewares, clothing, Moomin merch, food, and so much more! As if that wasn't enough, one of the owners (Tom) was behind the register. He was extremely kind and conversational. Whether you have Scandinavian blood or not, stop in, say hello, and I'm sure you'll find something you can't help but take home with you.

The folks at Simply Scandinavian provide the some of the best customer service that I've experienced while shopping. Period. I love the merchandise in their store and with this level of customer service it's an all 'round great experience! Thank you.

Awful service and employees. Thanks for sharing your political views to avoid your business and pass the information on to others!

This shop is stocked with beautiful Scandinavian merchandise. This is a great place to look for a special sweater (or two) and there are several quality hand crafted items to see as well. It is well stocked and feels like a trip to the old countries. One can’t help but be proud of their Scandinavian heritage or perhaps wish for roots to one of these these beautiful countries.
