They had an amazing variety of gifts from Maine/Portland, and everything was fairly priced. I ended up buying 11 postcards for just $10.50 -- a steal compared to what I've seen at other gift shops when traveling around. The postcards were also beautiful and very high quality. I can't wait to come here again.

My wife and I have been to Casco Bay Eyecare in Scarborough for eye exams a few times now and we…read morehave had good experiences. The office is clean and easy to find and park. The wait time has been minimal (if at all because the providers seem to run on time) and Dr. Liem is super nice, knowledgeable and a good listener making sure my questions are answered. Front desk staff and other support overall are professional and friendly. Our only complaint would be we wish they had even more glasses frames, particularly sunglasses to chose from in-house. I ended up getting mine at the slightly larger Portland location in the old port- something to keep in mind that each location may have a few different options to check out if you don't see what you want at this one. When ordering glasses it took about what they estimated time wise. The glasses are good quality glass lenses and are a bit more expensive than other spots we have been to over the years. All in all I definitely recommend.

I've been here multiple times for snowboard stuff, as a complete beginner…read more For myself, I got my entire setup here, board, boots, and binding. Sasha helped me and she was great, making sure everything worked for my body and my needs. I also brought in my daughter's stuff because we had problems with the boots and bindings (marketplace purchase because we weren't sure she'd stick with it). I expected to have to buy new bindings. They didn't sell me anything that I didn't need and they shared all of their experience to help us solve the problem. I am SO thankful for everything they shared, there is no way we'd have reached that point on our own. We worked with Travis and Matt who were really awesome. I definitely recommend coming here if you have any issues or unique needs, or if you need a new setup or are a beginner. Also, stop in just for your regular stuff! They have a huge selection of all of the layers and accessories. Obviously there are expensive things, but it isn't an uncomfortable sales environment at all.

I have conservatively spent over $4000 at this establishment over the past several years, and I keep coming back despite the profound lack of customer service that I've experienced previously. But they're the only show in town, and what can you do right? Well, today was the last straw. I was literally the only customer in the store. Not only did nobody ask me if I need it any assistance, but while I was browsing in the children's section, one of their technicians walked by me, kicked me in the shins, bumped me into the clothing rack and didn't apologize or say excuse me. He didn't even acknowledge that I was there. It's bad enough that most ski bums are drunk or high while they're working, in addition to being allergic to basic customer service. It's even worse when they assault you while they're ignoring you. I will never, ever ever ever set foot in an Arlberg again.

After some convincing they begrudgingly agreed. They did my two kids, but when they got to me, I noticed they held the PD machine at a strange angle and the measurement came back much different than my previous PD. I asked if they were sure they did it right and they responded with a very curt 'I know how to do my job' I got a more recent eye exam at a different place and they confirmed my PD measurement never changed and that the people at Casco Bay had botched the measurement purposely because I wasn't buying their glasses.

My great experience started with an enthusiastic greeting by Debbie as soon as I walked in the door. Courtney & Dr. Amy Cyr gave me a super thorough eye exam. Then, Gina Namin pleasantly & patiently dealt with me while I tried on 25 different pairs for frames. She made sure they were just the right one & fit perfectly. Fast forward 6 months and I went back for a pair of prescription sunglasses. I needed a new style. Nick Howe was a huge help and pickled out a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses I would have never tried on myself. He was so good - my wife even loved the ones he picked out!. I just picked them up and Gina again made sure they fit perfectly. The best customer service I've received in a very long time.

Located right on Commercial Street is the perfect location to catch the eyes of tourists. It is a good sized store although some spots if busy can turn into a traffic jam of people. They have a large variety of Maine clothing and random assortment of things to remind you of your trip to Portland. A lot of prices were what you would expect of a tourist hot spot gift shop. No interaction with staff ourselves but they seemed friendly with customers who bought items. Good enough to look around, but if you have the time check out the similar nearby stores as well!
