    Design of the dark chocolate sea salt bar
    Heather Marie V.

    A must stop when you're in Rockland. Bixby Chocolate is both a factory and a retail shop, and driving up you're greeted with the best smell of cocoa. The light and airy shop showcases the variety of their products, particularly their signature bonbons and Needhams (potato chocolates!). The chocolate is very high quality with a lot of flavor choices. Make sure to try some local flavor profiles like blueberry and maple. They also have ice cream in the shop! We'd just eaten so we had to miss that, but stocked up on chocolates, including a bag of Needhams, Allagash beer brittle, a dark chocolate sea salt bar, and four bon bons. Bixby does a beautiful job crafting the chocolates. The bonbons were truly pieces of art, and the chocolate bar had such a lovely and intricate sea life pattern on it that I almost didn't want to eat them. Our one wish was that they had more samples available, particularly for the unfamiliar flavors like the beer brittle and the Needhams, so folks know what they're getting before investing in a large bag of something. The factory and shop is right on Crockett Point in Rockland Harbor and is a gorgeous way to spend some time in Maine.

    Needhans. Shipped.

    PLEASE NOTE: This was for nationwide shipping. Bixby & Co. is a woman-owned craft chocolatier located in Rockland, ME. They make chocolate confections using natural ingredients, certified organic ingredients, and certified vegan ingredients too. They offer "chocolate with a conscience": meaning their beans are ethically harvested and their workers throughout the production are treated well. Bixby & Co is committed to fairness, sustainability, having a minimal environmental impact, and enhancing their local and worldly communities. Love 'em yet? Wait until you try the chocolate... For me, one of the best chocolates being made anywhere (I mean *anywhere*), is their vegan needham made with rich coconut and creamy potato dipped in dark chocolate. IYKYK. This is a time honored Maine treat that we've been eating since the 1800s. It's in every one of my thank you gifts to people, it's my favorite thing to give friends from away (... especially those hesitant about eating spuds in their candy bar), and we allllllwaaaaays have them in our fridge. They're bite-sized and come in packs of two or four. Their Bixby Bars are super satisfying, too. Dense, sweet but not too sweet, texturally interesting, filling - they're great for traveling with. My favorites are Nutty For You [peanut butter, chocolate, sea salt], Heart's Delight [strawberry, cinnamon, almond], and Toboggan [pistachio, cranberry, sea salt]. At this point I've tried nearly every vegan thing they make. While I like most, admittedly I'm less of a fan of the slabs of chocolate; for me, they're underwhelming compared to the needhams or the above mentioned bars, but I appreciate their collabs with local distilleries and mills processing heritage grains (also they're award winning chocolate bars, so I know I'm in the minority here!). Also, the dark chocolate covered espresso beans are too cocoa powder-y, and overall dry, for my liking. If you're in the state, you'll see Bixby & Co at grocery stores! If you just love chocolate (and doing good with your dollar), you should place an order no matter where you are in the US, because this is absolutely some of the best there is.

    This is one of those places you stumble across exploring new towns. We thought it would be a small chocolate shop. Wrong, it's the chocolate factory with a small retail space. The lady behind the counter was very friendly. She even suggested a place for lunch. Then she helped us pick out some items to go. Toffee and bon bons left with us. Really cool spot.

    Chocolate lovers rejoice...this hidden chocolate boutique is for you! Located a block or so off the main road with the shops & restaurants of Rockland you'll find this women owned chocolate store. The shop is located right inside the factory so the building appears a little more industrial from the outside and has a no frills shopping experience. While you can find Bixby candies in a number of shops in Maine, definitely swing by to see them make the chocolates and have a wide selection of chocolates to take home - everything from bon-bons filled with unique flavors like strawberry rhubarb and mimosa to dark chocolate bars! There are some spots right outside but if you've parked in one of the public lots it's only a few streets down toward the waterfront.

    Fantastic! I moved to Maine over a year ago & I have to admit that the food out here is a little bland. I have lived in a lot of different states. There are a lot of candy shops everywhere, but we stumbled across this place & I'm in love. The candies taste so fresh, they actually make everything from scratch, and the staff was unbelievably nice. We live up the road and can already tell I will be going there often. So much flavor, freshness, and just a feel good place to go. They have coffee you can get by the cup, a couple of delicious samples out for tasting, and it's right next to the water. A pleasant hidden gem for my small town! No public restroom so go before you get there. Don't let that be the one thing that stops you from going. You want to go here.

    Was staying at a nearby hotel and walked by and decide to go in. They have homemade taffy and it's…read moredelicious. It's ridiculously expensive at $20 per pound so I spent over $30 on taffy but it was great. The blueberry, watermelon, and peanut butter were my favorites. Blue raspberry (which is actually pink colored) was also good. I wish the pieces of taffy were a little bit bigger because they're quite small compared to the wrapping so a good amount of the $30 that I spent went toward the weight of the wax paper wrapping but the taffy is great. It's nice to have real homemade taffy and not that Taffy Town stuff that every other candy store buys when it all comes shipped from the same factory in Utah. Service was friendly. They should honestly be handing out samples of the taffy. They asked me if I wanted to try fudge which was alright but on the sweeter side but it's the taffy that was great. At first I only bought a small bag with a few pieces in it just to make sure I liked it, and I loved it. Taffy is soft and flavorful and real.

    This a Cute candy shop located on the main stretch of downtown portland. There is lots to choose…read morefrom, whatever candy style you are on to it's here. If you're in the mood for sweet candy, definitely worth stopping in. Be aware tho they are a bit pricey. I was looking for some maine made ites to bring home as gift and I bought locally made blue berry maple jam and a variety of locally made fudge and had small bag of candy and came in at close to $50 and I barely bought anything. Just keep that in mind. Other than the prices, its neat and well stocked. The staff was very nice and even cut the fudge in smaller pieces for me when I asked even tho theyre not supposed to.
