Prices have gone up as with the times, but there are some great chotkes to be had. It is always great to walk to the back of the store to look out the window at the pier and its goings on while thinking whether the grand kids would like the plush lobster or the puffin better. It is still a great place to dawdle and browse, Long live this Smiling Cow.

All of the items I purchased for myself, friends and family were well made, stunning and highest of quality. I will go back. I'm thrilled for each and every product I purchased. The owners and workers are so very helpful, kind and supportive! My daughter and I felt special with their knowledge of the products and assistance in finding all that we were able to purchase. There are so many educational products for children, including glow in the dark t-shirts made 100% cotton. All the t-shirts are made beautiful too with a large selection too. Earrings so lovely and sectioned off by type including for sensitive ears. I hope it's open for another 50 years, thank you for stellar service and the wonderful gifts I have to share my time there! Bless you both!!

They really curate a wide selection of products to choose from, the prices are so reasonable (especially when you consider most of it is hand made or small batch), and you can feel good knowing your money is staying in-state.

I love that it is run solely by volunteers and artist they each take turns manning the store. The art ranges from photos to clay art to jewelry and so much more . Artist are always bringing in new pieces so definitely revisit maybe once a month if you're in the area, I felt price and was very reasonable, especially since it was art. The store itself was very neat, clean, and organized . There was a kind gentleman who was helping me check out on July 5. He held good conversation and even helped me pick out a good piece of art that I was looking at. I try to hit up local artisan places because I feel they truly know the beauty of their own home as it is in their backyard.

I walked by and was instantly intrigued by what I saw when I walked past the front door. There is truly something for everyone in here. I was instantly drawn to the beautiful glass fused jewelry who was made by the artisan who happened to be working the shop that day, Lori. All of the handmade jewelry here was so beautiful- fused glass, sea glass, and my favorite dichroic glass jewelry. I ended up buying a matching dichroic glass pendant and ring set for $30 total. I get complimented constantly on them. I wanted to buy so much more!! Another of my favorites in the store was Queen Bee Herbal- natural soaps, lotions, bath bombs, and things of that nature. I chose the lemon chiffon hand & body cream because it smelled so delicious. I also bought about 6 of the bath bombs because hey, those are awesome! I just found her facebook page "Queen Bee Herbal" so I could find out where to buy more hand cream! Luckily it looks like she does the farmers market in Portland! I could have spent so much money in here. Another artisan creates drawings/paintings of cats, dogs, or horses frolicking along the beach having a good time like they are human beings. So whimsical and cute! Who doesn't have a crazy cat lady in their life? Oh and zombie knomes! Seriously so much cool stuff go check it out!

Very cute little cafe/shop in Boothbay town center. We stopped by on a Saturday at 11 and there…read morewere several tables available - it seems like most people take their food to go. I ordered a bagel sandwich (I think it was called the Gardener) that came with jalapeno cream cheese, sprouts, red onion, and tomato ( I got it without the tomato). You order at the counter and they were nice enough to bring our food out to our table after we sat down. My sandwich was very tasty. The jalapeño cream cheese was actually a little spicy, which I loved. The only reason I'm eating four stars instead of five is the price - I just think $12 for what is essentially a bagel with cream cheese is a little ridiculous. For that reason, I don't think I would come back, even though the food was good.

The store is partnered with The Smiling Cow next door, which carries some decent clothing and lots of items with Boothbay Harbor emblazoned on them (if you're looking for souvenirs of your stay, you'll find 'em here).

The worst by far was when my patient husband was browsing-while I was looking around -was obviously being followed, no matter where in the 2 rooms he walked. He has very dark skin and the lady following him was a blond (so am I) older lady and it was the most stereotypical racism. She never asked if he needed help or even smiled or tried to even act professional. My parents live nearby and we've been visiting them here the entire 20 yrs we've been married. This salesperson made him feel like a felon. He takes care of children who have cancer as his career but I guess they weren't interested in anything more than his skin color. I guess at least she has her job instead of his.
