    This is a large store in the Olde Mystic Village shopping area that carries a number of food items from the region. Both CT and VT maple syrups, lots of store brand jarred goods like jams and chutneys. I saw plenty of bags from this store throughout the shopping area, so there does some to be 'something for everyone' although I did not find anything. It's set up like an old 'dry goods' shop you might find in a New England village. The aisles are narrow so passing people can be a squeeze. Shelves and bins are wood. It's a 'vibe'. Our friends picked up some of their fudge and they said it was 'buttery' and very tasty. Not being a fudge fan myself (sorry, I know, it's fudge! right?) I didn't try it, but my SO tells me a little goes a long way and it is tasty. They have several flavors to choose from. I think some of the food items for sale here would make nice additions to a gift basket or your pantry. Other offerings of candles, soaps and souvenirs are also available. I found the prices on the high side. Worth a look.

    I was on my way to MA and stopped in this general store. I'm so glad I did. I picked up tons of food items to sample when I get back home. I loved the decor and the staff was friendly. I'll be back.

    little general store with something for everyone. The smell of the candies nuts roasting at the entrance is amazing. We got a bag of cashews to try and they tasted as good as they smelled. Definitely a must stop when at Mystic Village.

    Another fun and interesting store to check out in Mystic Village. This place has just about everything, including warm roasted nuts (I choose pecans) which I could not stop eating while looking around the store. They have sauces, mustards, preserves, dressings, cheese, old time candies, games and all other kinds of things you did not know that you wanted or needed. Fun place to shop.

    I'm not going to lie, I was walking past this store, saw a sign for S'mores fudge, & immediately knew I had to go in. I merely glanced at all the offerings on the shelves as I followed the meandering path to the fudge. I may have been getting impatient when the people ahead of me were taking their time. (The path is not really meant for passing people.) The woman behind the fudge counter was helpful. I overheard her explain what Tiger Butter was to another customer and I was excited to try it. It's a vanilla based peanut butter fudge with chocolate drizzle. It sounded better than the chocolate peanut butter I would usually go for. I overheard another customer order the moose prints which I then looked for behind the display glass. I saw it had peanut butter cups & I was sold. So, with 3 flavors in mind, I had to get a medium box which came to little over a pound of fudge. I couldn't wait to try it! The Moose Prints was my first taste and it was delicious! I would for sure get it again. I tried the Tiger Butter next and it was exactly what I was hoping for. I understand why it was the fudge lady's favorite. And the S'mores. The one I went in for... was my least favorite (and sadly, it was the biggest chunk in my box!) The marshmallow wasn't as prevalent as I'd hoped and it was just overall underwhelming. I'm sure there's other items in the store but I couldn't tell you what they were. I think I saw some toys? Spices? Jams? Knickknacks? I just know I'll be back for more moose prints & tiger butter next time I'm in Mystic.

    I am trying to catch up on reviews from my vacations in the pre Covid days. My sister mentioned the fudge from here and I decided I needed to get this review done. This is a great place to buy gift items, glazed nuts, water taffy and lots of old fashioned candy. The fudge is delicious and I tried quite a few different flavors on our vacation. Prices can be expensive but this is located in Mystic village and I feel everything is pricey here. I love this kind of place and can spend hours in there. Sauces, jellies, syrups. All the good stuff. Enjoy! **My sister mentioned they have plexiglass up now to protect customers. There is arrows in place to keep customers going in one direction. Very tight squeeze if you have a stroller.

    This is a nice store in terms of the selection! Lots of different souvenirs, something for every taste :) However, it is very pricey! I only got two fridge magnets and they were $10...and they were among the simplest things in the store.

    Super cute shop! Has tons of great homemade items from salsa to sauces and candies. We went straight for the homemade fudge and weren't disappointed!! Absolutely wonderful! Smooth, sweet and consistent! The guy behind the counter was extremely friendly and let us sample a piece before buying a lb. The only complaint was the lady that actually rang us out was not friendly, nice and didn't make any type of effort to be personable.

    Love the bird houses

    I love this place. Lots of neat nick knacks and foods( spice, jams, cheese, jerky). I like the hand made soaps and the gift section.

    I stocked up on eBay I believe to be the best fudge I've ever had as well as the best salt water taffy I've ever had!
