Box of yummy treats and chocolate covered blueberries
Jennifer M.

Love, love, love this candy store! Smells so good when you walk in the door! So many delicious treats! They have EXCELLENT Needham candies. (Originated in Maine...rich, moist coconut filling covered in chocolate) can't wait to go back!

Great selection

Great quality, went back twice. Try the fruit bark, potato chip, turtles and sea salt caramels

This is their production location, as the friendly staffer explained to us when we stumbled into this spot in the rain (the actual Perkins Cove location was on our future list that day).

Charming little chocolate shop. The owner was lovely. The chocolates were good. Worth a visit to support a local business.

“They had YUMMY sat water taffy reminiscent of childhood beach vacations - and then I saw the dark chocolate covered sea salt caramels.”

Harbor Candy Shop - Raspberry truffle

During my recent trip to Maine, I decided to pass through Ogunquit since it had been many years…read moresince my last visit. I remember during my last visit that Harbor Candy Shop was a standout, so I decided to stop in and rediscover the shop while exploring the area. Candy shops are pretty synonymous with resort/vacation downs in the United States, so it should come as no surprise that Ogunquit has one. Harbor is one of the better of these shops I've been to - it's large and very well stocked with a variety of sweets. They have a selection of bagged branded products, a wall filled with bulk candy, and a large display case with more artisan chocolates. The location is also prime - right on the main drag in the middle of all the action in Ogunquit. After browsing for a while, I decided to pick up a couple of pieces of loose wrapped chocolate and two of their house branded dark chocolate bars. Everything was good, I could tell the chocolate was high quality. I wouldn't hesitate to buy more chocolate from them again. While I do think Harbor is a premier confection shop, it's not perfect (nothing is). The prices here are outrageous - I almost couldn't believe what I was reading at times. Does it match the quality? The jury is still out - just be prepared to dish it out. Also, the traffic flow when checking out is confusing, that could use some improvement. Outside of that, though, Harbor Candy Shop was great and worth a stop in when visiting Ogunquit.

I probably would not have come here had it not been for a book I just read ("Was it Something I…read moreSaid?" By Alison Cheperdak) that praised this place. There is a really impressive variety of sweets: chocolate and non chocolate, bars, truffles, gummies, jaw breakers, etc. There is something for everyone (even vegans!). My husband and I tried the Dubai dark chocolate and the strawberry lime prosecco truffles. Goodness, they were good!! The latter was probably the best truffle I ever had! It turns out it is one of the most popular items (I learned this when I came back). Service was better than expected! The teenage girl who helped me was friendly and quick. Stop by for a truffle if you're in this area!

What a sweet spot!…read more (Pun intended.) I grew up in a town that had two mom and pop candy stores. It is my full belief that both of them held some kind of magic. It's like it didn't matter how grumpy you were feeling, or what kind of day you were having, or anything like that, because the moment you walked in - regardless of old or young you were - for a moment everything was right in the world. Maybe it's the sensory overload that comes with a candy store: the bright colors, the variety of smells (sugar and chocolate as it's being transformed into something else... like truffles!), the sounds of laughter and machines whirring. Magic, I tell ya. Magic. The Sugar Shack ("designed with fun in mind") is a modern-day version of those old candy shoppes I remember. While the atmosphere inside is stark (very white walls and very plainly decorated), it features the candy first and foremost. And there is candy LITERALLY EVERYWHERE INSIDE. Once you walk in, there are little sand castle buckets available to use as shopping baskets (#suhcute). Tubes and bowls and jars and display after display of every kind of candy you could think of (don't forget the side room where the cash register is for homemade chocolate candies). As my friend and I walked around nostalgic for candies of our youth... suddenly we would see it! The fact that there were little kids running around made it all that much better. If you've got a sweet tooth, do yourself a favor and stop here. Even if you don't buy anything, you'll walk away feeling younger and happier!

Over priced but donuts were good. We didn't realize they would be mini but whatever. Wouldn't…read morereturn but thank you for breakfast!

Thomas K, I was actually in the store last night when you were here to say the least you were very…read moredisturbing to a lot of people in the store with your political views. This store has never asked a kid to leave ever, I have never seen such a grumpy old obnoxious individual since the 80s, and I've been coming here for the last 30 years with my children and now my grandchildren. They always go out of their way to make sure everybody is accommodated and they even set up face painting and tattoos for the kids outside. This is a very welcoming store to all and a family candy store in downtown York Beach, Maine. Considering you came in so hot with that hat on and you were definitely trying to make a political statement in a candy store that caters to families.

I visited Sweet Josies on Sat. Sept. 19th, around 4:00, The person behind the counter seriously…read moreneeds to learn customer service. I'm not familiar with the area, and when I saw what looked like either another candy store right next door or possibly an extension of Sweet Josie's, I casually asked the woman behind the counter if the two stores were affiliated. Not only was my question ignored the first time, but when I asked again, I was actually called "rude" for asking about another business. I was shocked and completely taken aback, especially with my son standing right next to me. Needless to say, I left the items I was about to purchase on the counter, walked out, and went into the candy store next door. The difference was night and day. The woman behind that counter was professional and helpful, and the store itself was immaculate. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Sweet Josie's. Many of the candy bins were half empty, several contained a mishmash of different candies, and the chocolates behind the glass were not particularly impressive. Customer service matters, and this experience was enough for me to take my business elsewhere. If you're looking for a better experience, I'd recommend going next door to Sweet York Beach. I was greeted immediately, the store was clean & organized, with a great variety of candy & chocolates.
