“The best! I’ve gotten so many amazing, unique pieces of jewelry from them. They’ve expertly fixed many of my rings and watches over the years. Gina is fantastic—she really takes the time to help, remembers her customers, and gives honest, trustworthy opinions on jewelry. I make it a point to go there every time something special happens in my life that I want to celebrate with a beautiful piece of jewelry.”
“We have had 5+ pieces of art framed here and absolutely adore the team and work. The folks here have the fantastic recommendations for how to best showcase our pieces and enhance their beauty. Price is reasonable and they have a deep passion for the work of they produce.”
“As a student at a restaurant school, I think that Thomas's videos are the most reliable and adjusted to the reality of the work that I have been able to see on the Internet. Bravo.”
“Nice gift shop with a wide array of souvenir items! Prices are reasonable for touristy things and honestly are even cheaper than many surrounding shops but items are great quality. They have the classics like post cards, mugs, pins, magnets, stickers, ornaments and shirts and unique items like books, soaps, kitchen items, honey, blueberry jams and wall adornments. Sections are easily identifiable by theme like lighthouses, blueberries, lobsters, and seaside/coastal fare. Great one stop shop spot for all your touristy needs!”
“I stopped by this shop with my friend who lives in Maine and got 2 beautiful pieces of art that I hung in my office. They are perfect and I'm so glad I got them. They have these works of art and have dates where they go down in price and you can wait and can't guarantee you will get the painting. If I lived closer I'd be there regularly. It's a great shop with wonderful things.”
“Open and informative. Checked quotes against a few other places and best customer service and prices here. Plus he's got James Brown's band's bass!”
“The food is frankly phenomenal - it's themed around delicious Cajun fare, but your traditional bar staples (*cough* try the fries *cough*) are also absurdly good.
The cosy atmosphere is reminiscent of Cheers, there is frequent live music, and the best part is that (outside of live performances) they don't blast the music! You can hear yourself think and have a conversation without yelling, a rarity these days.
Bonus points because all their stools/chairs solidly touch ground with all four legs, so no wobbling all night because you got the dud seat.
Gardens outside for those who are into plants, and an eclectic consignment store right next door for that good wandering.
Haven't tried the breakfast/brunch menu yet, but excited to go back for that.”
“Never know what I’m going to find when I go in - and that’s part of the fun of visiting Bonny Read! Eclectic jewelry, fine art, vinyl records, mid century modern furniture and decor, rugs, blankets… all curated by the warm and welcoming owner. Great spot for holiday decorations!”

“I have known Colleen and Chris for almost 40 years. I have purchased things from Colleen at auctions she has held, as well as from her store. She has always had very nice choices, both owned and on consignment. She’s very kind, professional, and very knowledgeable about the subject at hand. I’ve also consigned a collection with her, and the results she achieved in selling were fantastic. Very prompt in fee settlement, and always available for rapid communication. Stop by the shop. It’s worth it.”
“We visit every year and are always delighted by the variety of vendors and the booth themes! This year a sea theme booth arranged artfully with beautiful shell and moody sea scenes was my favorite. BUT, I must mention the booth in the front with all the very special 18 th century ceramics and glass ware. Especially the rare air twist stems and the early export porcelain tea bowls! I would love to have the vendors contact information as the museum I work at may be in the market for a few special items.”
