The Good: *This location has stuff made by 60+ artisans, according to the lady at the register. *Speaking of the lady at the register, she was helpful, efficient, and friendly. *Great place to pick up unique gifts for loved ones or to take home something really cool for yourself. We found a nice painting of a lighthouse that we're bringing home. :) *Speaking of stuff, their selection is voluminous with tons of stuff from clothing and paintings to postcards, jewelry, and much, much more. *Prices are actually fairly reasonable considering the quality of the products--and especially the tourist factor of the area. *Wifi thru Xfinity Mobile, which is a life line in this area The Meh: *Store is a little tight in spaces, especially if you're an ogre like myself The Ugly: *Zero cell signal in the area Conclusion: Fantastic place to grab locally made goods at a reasonable price.

It's larger than it looks and has some of the nicest souvenirs I saw walking the Main Street. Mugs, clothing, toys, magnets, lobster-themed items galore. I saw several things I liked and got a magnet, a sweater, and some candy for my husband while inside. Really friendly staff working the counter.

The Smiling Cow was one such place, and like with everything she wrote, she was spot-on accurate with her assessments. I have two grandchildren, so all shopping is based on what to buy THEM. Not me or my husband, not my daughters or son-in-law, but my grandchildren. So, of course, I made my way to the stuffed animals and Christmas ornaments where I was able to find some things to buy. Very cute things. I wish my back didn't start aching, or I would've likely bought more things. I guess that's a good reason to return some day. One can hope.

We wouldn't have gotten that same level of service from a corporate store. This is one of Bar Harbors hidden gems. We truly appreciated their custom service. Great people!!!

However, I decided to drive by one last time at noon today on my way back to Boston and THERE WAS A HINT OF LIGHT. I parked, I ran-walked-skipped, and I barged right through those doors thinking to run into either Loren or Shawn. But nay, I was instead greeted by a sweet elderly lady with bright eyes surprised by the sudden intrusion of some random excited Asian dude. "Oh sorry, I'm not really open yet. I hope you don't mind the mess." "ME DON'T CARE." Sasquatch-wannabe-tourist gleefully responds. I came to find out shortly that it was Loren's mom, Grace, and she was definitely a delightful way to end my trip this year. You see, I came to really like this shop last year when I got to extensively talk to both Loren and Shawn during several visits to the shop because they were so fun to banter with. Not only did I receive local tips to the area, I came to really appreciate what they have done here over time through their little business. Their gift bags are printed with Loren's photography and Shawn's paintings! Truly beautiful and different from the other stores in the area. Definitely my favorite gift shop that I've visited so far and will continue to stop by and say hi whenever I'm in the area. Absolutely recommend!

We stopped here and purchased a painting my partner wanted and then returned to pick up my purse before returning to the shuttle bus. I just couldn't leave without buying it. I'm sure if we had more time, we would have spent more. Bar Harbor has lots of tourist stuff. If you are looking for that special item to take home, check this place out.

While I didn't buy anything I certainly appreciated the friendly staff and the variety of whimsical an quality items for sale.
