LOVE Two Maine Guys, their food is so delicious. Love this concept as well. Ice cream and cookies just belong together- and warm cookies as well? That's basically heaven right there. They source their ice cream from Giffords! That's heckin! I got the cookie monster smush. It was delicious.
Everyone was having a great time, the workers were friendly, and the music was good, but I think they are shooting themselves in the foot with all the AI "art". Please, for the love of Augusta, I'm begging the two Maine guys to change their signage. Not only is it ugly but it's so antithetical to what Maine is all about. Mainers love art by other Mainers! It has so much personality! I saw a hand painted painting of the Smush logo in the store and it looked so much better than the sign. If it had more of that I'd be OK with coming back.
The place is busy right now, I think, because it's a novelty, but I don't see this eyesore lasting on Main Street if they commit to this look. Considering the damage AI does to ecosystems and how artists are being displaced, I just can't keep supporting them. And it's a bummer too, bc if it weren't for that, I would be telling people allll about this place and going in several times a summer. It is so up my alley! If it was a Pepsi sign with the name in block letters I would be more forgiving than I am now. But as it is, I can only give Smush a review of three stars, at the most. I really hope they consider changing it up because I would love to see this place stick around and become part of the community. read more
