“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!”
“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.”
“Very cool little gift shop in downtown right by the waterfront. All kinds of neat things to peruse and purchase here including trinkets, clothing and shelf-stable foods. Cashiers were very friendly & helpful.”
“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.”

“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.”
“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.”
