As far as popcorn stores go, I haven't found anything better than this place/product. The popcorn…read moreshops from the 80s don't compare to this new company. I have been eating this brand of popcorn for more than a year and buying it from resellers. I was happy, but was always curious about the other flavors but nervous to commit to a back of something I might not like...and I found a brick and mortar store :) I have been in here a couple of times and the staff has been welcoming, friendly and proactive to assist tastes buds of all levels of enthusiasm. I typically know what I want to buy, but if they are offering free samples, how can I say no! I don't want to hurt their feelings afterall. The most adventurous flavor I have sampled is maple siracha. I am a fan of maple flavor and a fan of siracha. Combined? I'm not sure, I might have to try again...it definitely left a little after burn - nice spicy heat. My go to flavors, Maine Maple, Parmesan Garlic, and white cheddar. I love that I can different sized bags at this location and they bag it on demand. For some reason it just tastes more fresh than when I purchase from a reseller. I also love that they give you a wire wrap to keep the bag closed IF and I mean IF in the event you don't eat the bag at once. This is now the only popcorn I buy and I highly recommend it. Please stop by this location in the area, taste allllll the flavors and chat with the friendly staff. If you love popcorn, you'll love this place.

We finally made it to the "mothership" LOL…read more We have enjoyed their popcorn for years and typically buy it at local grocery or convenient stores. It was great and also overwhelming to see sooooo many options. If you like popcorn - they have flavors that will meet everyone's craving. I don't do the sweet flavors anymore. Give me all of the savory!!!! It's all neat and clean. Very organized store. I loved that! It can get a little crowded on the weekends, especially because there are so many varieties to look at and consider. Staff keeps busy with stocking the shelves and answering customer questions and sharing their thoughts and opions on their favorites. Fun stop if you are in the area. Snack on this delicious popcorn while you walk around town. Just watch out for seagulls. LOL

This little shop in Boothbay is packed with soooo many popcorn flavors -- everything from Grilled…read moreCheeseburger to Key Lime Pie to Lemon Blueberry Delight (which, by the way, tastes just like Fruit Loops). We grabbed a few bags of the "weird" flavors and enjoyed most of them. My biggest regret? Not buying a bag of the caramel after sampling it in-store. It was sweet, buttery, and instantly transported me back to childhood and Cracker Jacks. The only letdown for me was anything with chocolate -- it seems they use a powder instead of melted chocolate, and it just doesn't hit the same. Still, this is a fun, unique stop with creative flavors you won't find anywhere else.

I have it all written out, so we know where we'll be going. Kind of like... when in Rome, do as the Romans do. For me, I need to know ahead of time what that'll be, so we can do them. Such was the case with Wilbur's of Maine Chocolates. Don't remember now where I read about this place, but some blogger mentioned them with high praise, so on my list this place went. We made a point to stop by Wilbur's on our way to Boothbay Harbor (also in Maine for those who don't know), and we are so glad we did. This is primarily a candy shop... but it is so much more. They have other food items, home decor, gift items, and of course, lots of chocolate. We bought a couple of stuffed animals for our grandchildren, as well as some flavored sauces in a jar (to be poured over ice cream), and we couldn't leave without buying some chocolates ! We tried some chocolate-dipped orange rind and a few truffle flavors as well. Everything was very fresh and tasty. If I'm ever fortunate enough to be in Maine again, I'm sure we will stop here again.

This continues to be my favorite candy store in Maine. 5 stars for the offerings, the staff and…read moreparking. They offer more than my favorite chocolates. They continue to expand, to offer local Maine products, both food and textiles - it's a great place to go for buying gifts for people. Some of my favorites are shown in the pictures - I love anything maple and their maple malt balls are my absolute favorite! I love their chocolate covered products, pretzels, cherries, peanuts, raisins and blueberries and so much more. They sell Sweet Monkey Business shortbread cookies on occassion - they are the best in Maine for packaged cookies. The owner is very kind as well. This year (2025) my favorite purchase was the Candy Cottage kit! So cute and creative and it smells so much better than gingerbread. I loved it. Great for gift giving as well. Parking is great and there is an car charging spot as well if you are lucky enough to snag the spot. Not a super charger, but it's something. I hope to be able to participate in a special event sometime. They offer tours, and candy making events, like make your own candy cane. With that said, I highly recommend. Stop on by, you might see me shopping LOL

They have great donuts for sale as well. This is much more than an orchard...they have a TON of lego sets for sale. Warning for parents who bring the kids into the store....lots and lots of toys and fun things the kids WILL want something. LOL Outside there is an area for kids to play for a reasonable price - a lot of inflatable playground type things. Staff is present and helpful as needed. Place is very neatly organized, and clean and labeled with prices etc. If you are in the area - I definitely recommend stopping to check it out. There's plenty of parking - so there's no excuse not to stop LOL

We've come here for apple picking as well as recently for their fireworks event for the 4th of July…read morecelebration. They have many varieties of apples and the views are amazing however the prices are a bit high. We usually take our grandkids and it adds up very quickly. Charging what you need to charge for the apples is one thing but they also charge for the use of bounce houses. I don't know but it comes off a a bit greedy. Anyway, for the 4th of July event, while we appreciate that parking was free and was pretty organized, the quality of fireworks was a bit disappointing especially considering that they had some partnership with the town and it was for the USA's 250th.

It was raining but this made it easy to get inside. You walk into everything all at once. I beeline for sandwiches and coffee. A lovely lady behind the counter caught my eye and asked me what I needed. I got a pumpkin spice latte, cause it's cold, rainy, and fall! I grabbed a mozzarella roasted red pepper sandwich that hit the spot. I was hungry so I ate as I walked around and looked at all the goodies. They seem to be hosting the coffee Swift River Roasters. They had a great selection of 1 lb bags and more. As you walk through you realize there's ice cream, treats, and a whole market in the back. We found a small room that boasted wine tasting - whoa - cool! We took a quick seat and finished our sandwiches as we looked around. We walked the rest of the market and if you are looking for upscale - this is your place. They even had Dom Perignon on the shelf. I scored some Bacardi on sale (to make vanilla of course) and some chocolates. The lady at the counter was super sweet, check out was quick and easy. They accept cards, cash and idk. But I would definitely stop in again!

Employees here are always friendly. Their food is always well-made and is of excellent quality. Prices are a bit on the high end hence the 4 stars. Pictured here is their Hometown Chef Salad and The Good Life Club. My stepson and I ended up sharing as the portions are huge. We even got 3 servings out of the salad. These two items are highly recommended. This market also has some fresh produce, several cheese options, interesting snacks and pantry items. Stop by and support local whenever you can!
