I tried a few unique pieces such as dark chocolate cranberry pecan turtle and a blondie (chocolates dipped penuche ). Also a caramel filled non parrell. I'll be back.

Turtle Alley Chocolates are SO SO good. It's worth the drive and also worth ordering online to ship…read moreto someone as a gift! I live 50 minutes away and will take the ride just to grab my cashew clusters and drive back home. They're that good. I've gifted a box of their turtle clusters for my mom's birthday, Mother's Day, Christmas, and Valentines. Truly it's the perfect gift if you're on the hunt for good quality chocolate. Everything is made in-house and it tastes oh so good. They've also got fudge, Carmel, chocolate, candy, and more. There's so much to choose from in this cute store!

A trip to Rockport wouldn't be complete without a stop at the Country Store. Think old fashioned…read morecandy shop meets quirky retro insanity. With a real, functioning Nickelodeon (that costs more than a nickel), retro-inspired lunch tins, magnets, signs and books, incense, gag gifts, candles, cookie cutters, mugs, toys, and other eclectic goodies, this store is packed to the brim with unique and entertaining merchandise. And don't forget the penny candy (that costs more than a penny....a lot more). The entire left-hand wall is lined top to bottom with plastic bins of self-serve bulk candy. Nostalgic for Squirrel Nut Zippers? Wondering what ever happened to Teaberry Gum? Well wonder no more. From licorice to Nerds, bubble tape and flavored tootsie rolls, even those weird marshmallowy coconut watermelon slices, it's all here. Not to mention the dozens of flavors of Jelly Belly Jellybeans. Just grab a bag, fill it up, bring it to the counter for weighing and enjoy all of your favorite sweets. Or maybe a huge dill pickle or some fresh popcorn (maybe not all at once...) The Country Store has knick knacks from head to toe, and with so many different candies and trinkets to look at, it's hard to leave empty handed.

Big fan of this place…read more Hasn't changed since I was a kid. Lots of fun toys and tons of candy. Love it. This place is a must to stop by when you're kicking around Rockport. If you have kids: be careful because they will hound you like crazy for all that candy!!!

Great store, cool to see the confectionery behind the glass too. A good selection of American candy…read moreand homemade things they produce themselves. The ambience is great, with the taffy bins resembling a small row boat! Service is great, there's also a 10% off discount for the first order when signing up for the rewards. Generally prices are reasonable too. Pretty funny they have the same store within 500 ish feet of each other. I'd go twice!

Fun candy store experience. There was quite a bit of variety to choose from, which makes it fun for…read moreeveryone. We ended up getting a taffy assortment to try, and the kid family members we were with opted for gummy sharks and sea creatures, and some gummy pizzas. I saw some people ahead of us getting frozen lemonades, which looked good. If my friend were with me, I know she would have gotten the chocolate covered gummy bears, which can be hard to come by. There's a little freezer with chocolate covered frozen bananas- in dark and milk chocolate varieties. It was the first time I had a dark chocolate covered frozen banana. It was awesome!

Amazing. So unique. Boston Pride. Definitely worthy to visit this place. Nice staff. Very friendly…read moreand I felt very comfortable shopping there.

I cannot even begin to tell you how unbelievable the fudge is from here!!…read moreI have been in search for a perfect penuche fudge for quite sometime. It is thee most delicious I have ever had. Other places I tried don't even come close!!!! Texture, freshness and unbelievable flavor - I have completed my search. I also bought another flavor to broaden my horizons and that was as equally delicious (chocolate kahlua). I actually am trying to figure out when I can actually get back there to purchase a larger amount. Not good - but soooo ridiculously good! Wonderful friendly staff - the whole experience is like a little bit of heaven!!! My new addiction -just sayn!! Jeanne A

I thought the shop was so charming - filled to the brim with cheese and wine and other food and charming little knickknacks. The customer service was incredibly friendly, too, and we found a great bottle of wine to give as a gift! I wish we hadn't been on our way to lunch, because their cheeses looked incredible! What a charming shop.

Ordered cheese trays for a party. They did a fantastic job! Everything about the experience was…read moregreat. My husband picked up the tray and said " the woman working there was an absolute delight". The trays were beautiful, and the food was fresh and delicious. Each item on the tray was identified. Our guests were engaged in trying each cheese because each one tasted unique! (So unlike a tray from a grocery store where they all taste the same.). It came with a ribbon tied in a bow so it would make a great hostess gift or addition to a potluck. I encourage locals to support this great asset in our community. Added bonus: we have a food allergy in our family and they were very mindful; even provided gluten free crackers.

Mayo with celery is the way to go. Fish & chips served with malt vinegar & ketchup. Perfect size portions for each. No leftovers for average eaters. Located in a fish market Order at the counter on your right and it's ready in about 10 minutes. Seafood counter is separate. A couple of outdoor tables with umbrellas but people also eat in their car since it's a quick bite. Very small parking lot and very limited on-street parking. *Tip: share a meal so you have room for Holy Cow ice cream 1-block away.

Found this via Yelp. It was one of the few locations open for business during lunch…read more It is a small shop with many options where you order at the counter and grab a seat outdoors. There is limited seating and it appears that most people pick up orders based on the traffic. We ordered the clam chowder, lobster roll and crab roll. All were delicious! Glad we stopped by here. Don't forget to dispose your trash in nearby bins.
