My husband and I recently visited Salem for our wedding anniversary. We were wandering around late…read moreone evening and the open sign was lit. I thought tea sounded like a great idea. Turned out the place was closed but the owner still welcomed us in and told us about his wonderful teas - the ones he packages himself are all fair trade and he actually knows families that grow the tea and make the blends! The flavors are wonderful and natural. None of the additives you find in all high-end teas these days, and his prices are better. You can also set up a tasting which is a wonderful date night idea, btw. I cannot give a higher recommendation for any retailer in the Salem area. We brought back bags for several friends and are quite happy we did, everyone loved their unique gifts from our trip.

They also sell chocolates and gifts, adding to the "fun little shop" feel as soon as you walk in. I went specifically for ice cream because I was looking for a nearby ice cream shop, and this one caught my eye. It wasn't too crowded when I visited, and the staff was relaxed, friendly, and helpful while getting my scoop ready. I ordered a cookies-and-cream-style flavor with a blue base and cookie crumbles, and it was exactly what I needed on a hot Friday afternoon during a Massachusetts heat wave. I got the smallest (pixie, 4oz) size, and it was plenty for me. Overall, it's a very cute, kitschy little shop that's easy to pop into if you're in town. I wish I'd had more time to explore the gifts and chocolates, but even just stopping in for ice cream was a fun treat.

This Salem gift shop is packed with Christmas decorations, holiday ornaments, candles, and witchy goodies, + chocolate and ice cream. I picked up a heart ornament with painted gold accents. The staff was incredibly friendly, and we chatted for a while--he even shared a recipe for German mulled wine. Whimsy's is great for unique gifts, seasonal decor and sweets.

Service was friendly and prompt. It looked like food is served from another window and drinks are ready at the end of the counter. Looking at the display of treats, so many things looked so good! But as we can't try them all in one visit, we ordered two of the Citrus Blueberry Corn Slices and two Sticky Bun Lattes (iced and hot). Those corn slices I can write home about. Or better yet, post about it on Yelp! They were moist and not crumbly, the blueberries added an extra pop of juicy flavor and paired so well. It was the perfect snack. The Sticky Bun Lattes were a great warm up for the opposing grey rain sky. Sweet hot caffeine, is there anything better?
