Motifs was one of the first shops my wife and I went into once we arrived in Camden. The store was…read morewell set up and offered more than just clothes. You'll find home goods along with some gifts for yourself or others. My wife found a very cute moose sweater for a kid (can see the picture of it). She also found a nice looking button shirt that would have been a good shirt for me. Price was a little higher than I would have hoped for the shirt but it did seem very high quality. So no real knock on that. A store worth checking out even if you plan to just browse. It's got great coastal vibes which is fitting for where it is.

Motifs is an absolutely delightful boutique. They have a wonderful selection of fine quality…read moreproducts. I visited and purchased twice while visiting Camden, and was greeted by a lovely sales lady one day and a kind gentleman the next day. I so enjoyed shopping at Motifs!

Really cool clothes here for both men and women. My wife loves coming here when we are in town and…read moreI always seem to find a cool looking and great fitting shirt or pair of shor. Staff is always kind and helpful . Nice location with old plank hardwood floors and views of the ships / water. Highly recommended as they carry some high quality and interesting clothing that does not cost a fortune.

Fatface is fast becoming one of my favorite clothing retailers…read more This UK brand makes quality threads which began two guys wanting to make a living and inspired by their favourite black mountain ski run in Val d'Isère, La Face. With over 200 stores overseas and 20 (and growing) on the east coast, I'm sure many others will feel the same way. I've bought a few pieces over the years and their clothing is top notch casual. The folks in this store are super friendly and a strong advocate for the brand. When I visited, it was pretty low key at the end of summer and there was a sale as well. Double plus for my overall experience. Hope they stick around and definitely stay in Camden, ME.

Amazing customer service and super fast delivery. I was given a pair of Saxx as a gift and they…read morewere so comfortable (best fitting ever) I had to order 3 more pair.

Such an awesome consignment shop with so many good vintage finds…read more Men's clothing upstairs, women's clothing downstairs. Clean and organized aesthetic, so it's not overwhelming when you walk in like a lot of consignment shops are. And the racks aren't overflowing and hard to sift through... we love to see it. So many jackets and sweaters, shoes, hats, shirts, dresses, etc. for solidly decent prices. I got a vintage patterned LL Bean sweater for $25. PLUS, incredibly sweet employees. The woman who checked me out was so nice and excited for my find. Great for validation if you need it lol. Will for sure recommend to any friends living in or visiting Rockland, Maine.

Remarkably poor customer service !...... sales people look right at you and ignore you i mean…read moreliteral eye contact and nothing..... it's not as if L.L. Bean clothing and gear is not incredibly overpriced -the least you can get at the outlet besides a very minimal 30% off is a little bit of good customer servicing, but you're not gonna get that here in Ellsworth. They're all walking around talking to each other and ignoring the customers .What they really care about is pushing the L.L. Bean credit card so be ready for that. Sorry to say, but at this rate, L.L. Bean's gonna join all the others like Eddie Bauer and they're going to end up closing their stores because they charge way too much and the sizing is poor and the customer service stinks. Of course it's geared towards the tourist so that's their saving grace cause people want the name ....Honestly, it's really not worth the money. I looked at a man's shirt that was an extra large that looked like a women's medium. It literally was crinkly like it had been taken home, washed and shrunk and returned, which yes customers do this, but shame on L.L. Bean for putting it back out on the rack that should be donated not re-sold You have to be careful at the L.L. Bean outlet because a lot of the stuff is product that was ordered online or from the catalog that the customer wore washed or used for a year and returned So keep that in mind. Once in a while when they have something at 50% off, it's definitely worth looking at but my grievance today is walking around the store and all the sales women working in there; they Just look at you and walk away and ignore you so i personally don't think I'll be coming back to this store in Ellsworth again. Corporate needs to have a little chit chat with the manager about the attitude of their employees at their little satellite stores. Leon Leonwood would be pretty disappointed :(

Great selection of holiday items, and it was made better with the 50% off post-holiday sale!…read more Impressed with The Hanukkah selection, we have friends that celebrate Hanukkah and find it challenging to find appropriate items for them. They had a lot of unique items, I really liked the baking section with lots of baking pans and decorating sugars.

I've never seen a better clearance section than I did here. A $200 Calvin Klein bag for $25?? Yes, thank you. OPI nail polish for $1.99? Sure, I'll take that too. You better believe i will stop in again if I find myself in the area.

Confessions of a gear junkie. I buy way too much gear. Period. I'm often suckered in by a good deal…read more(which Alpenglow often has!) but I'm always brought back by great service. I'll skip shoddy service and pay a couple dollars more for good service. There's a reason I have made half a dozen orders from Alpenglow and I'll give you a hint: it's because their customer service rhymes with "awesome." Also rhymes with "excellent." If you don't believe me, log on to their web page, search the specials, save a boatload of money, and check your porch three days later. I promise you won't be disappointed. I haven't been, six times in a row (that's what she said). Thanks Alpenglow, for giving me an excuse to write this review and throw in a mediocre TWSS joke. Now I have gear to go sort, if you'll excuse me.

If I said Alpenglow was the all-time best of all time, your hyperbole-meter might start going off…read more However, your meter would be DEAD WRONG. Throw it in the trash. Wait for a sale at Amazon for a new one, maybe get last years model to save a little bit extra. You don't need the new pink-striped accents on the 2014 model. You might like them, but you don't need them. Anyway, back to Alpenglow. They rock! Countless times, I've searched for a random specific piece of gear online, and who not only has it in stock, but on sale?! Alpenglow. Not only are their sales timely and fantastic, but the customer service has been stellar, and the shippin' is quick and cheap/free. Trying to remember all the things I've bought here, maybe two sets of ice tools, cams, ice screws, pants, backpack, etc etc etc. All time best! EDIT: Incidentally, KennyB below sounds like an idiot. I give him 1 star.
