We stopped in here just before Christmas, right after they opened, and we were blown away by the…read moreclever, creative assortment of puzzles, games, art supplies, books, and other amazing products. We were so mesmerized we stayed for hours! I told the owner Hallie that it reminded me of some of my favorite museum gift shops. It's a perfect place to find gifts for yourself and everyone you love. Midcoast Creative is certainlymy new go-to for gifts. Check it out!.

There is not too much to say about this location other than it can be a bit overwhelming with so…read moremuch stuff down each aisle. Sometimes it feels like a mad dash as people are trying to get their supplies and they will cut right in front of you without excusing themselves. This is by no means the fault of the business, so I don't take stars off for a customer's observed behavior. Staff is friendly and willing to go the extra mile if you wanted something they didn't have in stock, but they were able to find online. Sometimes a bit too long at the register as others are waiting to be helped. This one cashier kept pushing the customer to allow them to order the item she really wanted online and have it delivered to her home. She would say "I can wait, it's no problem", yet the cashier and Manager would not accept the answer. I get a sale is a sale, but you don't want to lose the guaranteed sales standing in your line either. That's my only complaint about this location.

I believe the artist is local and we saw one other print machine at the Warby Parker but it looks like a different variety. There are so many cute greeting cards, matches, perfumes, candles, etc and it was all so tempting! I left with one mini print (the cashiers will trade you for quarters, super helpful) and some perfume! If you're looking to do some fun shopping in Portland this store is definitely worth a stop.

I've seen other people say this location is similar to Newbury Comics, and that's for sure a great…read morecomparison. Easy, free parking; no bathrooms (don't you dare ask, either); it's a large, cramped warehouse because of the overwhelming amount of new and used vinyls, CDs, DVDs, video games, books, comics, novelty items, etc. They probably have what you're looking for, and if not? They can order it for you! It's just not my preferred location: I find the staff offputting. The last time I was here they were very loudly berating customers, each other, how Bull Moose pays, and whoever runs/manages this particular store. I ended up not purchasing anything, because I didn't feel comfortable approaching the counter. Skip this location and head to the Scarborough spot instead.

Prices seemed decent, although we found two of the same exact books in identical condition, that were marked $5.00 apart. On the negative side, the music they play over their sound system at every location would drive the Pope to drink! Lastly, at every location there were some type of small flying insects that would keep pestering us by flying in your face as you try to browse..

It's easy to support, when they partner with some of the coolest vendors, both locally and nationwide. While I don't frequently shop at this store, I like to take friends and family there when they are visiting to pick up Maine souvenirs and other fun things. They also sell brands like Patagonia, which is a great brand. Maine souvenirs range from mugs, glasses, t-shirts and really nice quality sweatshirts. I like the more subtle designs and subdued colors. I like this location - as it's conveniently located in the downtown area, where there usually is street or municipal parking available. The store was nicely organized and tidy. The staff was kind with a warm welcome and a sincere thank you as I was cashing out. They do a great job wrapping souvenirs as well, in the event you are traveling or shipping them. I recommend this store.
