This place is so cool! We passed it on our way to Bar Harbor and I couldn't wait to stop there on our way out. I bought some blueberry Honey for a fraction of the cost that it is in the shops in Bar Harbor. Same brand. I bought some other cool Kitchen items as well that I could not afford to buy in town. They have lots of neat treasure. I think we explored every single room and stayed longer than we planned on. Great experience overall. read more

What an awesome place! We do a lot of antiquing and this place was by far the most fun. Pay special attention to the details of each room and how things are displayed...super cool! You'll for sure find a treasure here! read more

Such fun, unique and friendly place to visit, right on route 1A. Its very hard to miss. There are multiple levels and something for everyone. I am willing to bet that if you take your time and look around, you will not leave without a find, whether you will be willing to pay for it, it's a whole other discussion. Its fun, creative, notes on price tags will make you laugh and if you chose bot to spend money on your find you can walk away with a pretty epic treats (green aple candy and mountain roast coffee) with a mug to remember your Maine adventures through some winter mornings. Staff is friendly and with character. Stop and you will have a story to tell. read more

You will get lost. This place is huge! Has everything you could imagine and more. Hundreds of vendors bring their furniture, dishwater, signage, toys and more. Don't miss any nook or cranky! read more

Bought a bunch of trinkets. Prices are very reasonable and the selection is world class. Going here has turned me into an "antiquer". While driving through Maine we stopped and browsed 5 other antique shops and this one takes the cake. The 3 we looked a in NJ recently don't compare either. The service was good as he was accommodative. Pay cash and support local business. read more

This place is cool! There are about 70 vendors and not only they have collectibles, limited antiques but also cool nifty creations from local artist and re purposing of vintage products. There are 4 floors folks here. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Probably one of my favorite shops Everything was organized and clean. The floor and walls were decorated along with all the "relics". I only had 30 minutes, but could have spend hours. The staff was very friendly too. read more

We had taken a short vacation to the area and passed this antique store as we were going south. After indulging the men in their shopping ventures, I insisted on stopping at 1A Relics. We were all delighted and enjoyed this shop. It is a sprawling labyrinth of a store with many levels and types of treasures to please everyone of all ages. I found too many items to purchase all at once but will return and find different items to catch my interest. Fascinating building, too. Pay attention to the inside architecture. read more

4 levels of antiques and relics that will keep you here for hours and hours if you really take your time. Plenty of room to socially distance and super sweet staff. Definitely stop by to check out some really cool stuff you probably haven't seen before. read more

If you're looking for antiques I wouldn't stop here. It's huge and full of stuff, but mostly vintage and new with some crafts thrown in. I don't mind a mix of things, but I explored the entire store and found nothing very interesting. read more

Drove past this place a few times and just felt in my soul that we had to stop. Let me preface this with the fact that I'm obsessed with antique stores. But I promise my review isn't clouded with bias, this place was freaking great. The lady who checked us out (I'm assuming the owner?) was super fun & chatty. She gave us some history of the place... a 1920s barn, a 70s dealership, someone lived in the upstairs, and now an antique shop. It's 4 floors of fun tucked into literally every nook and cranny and literally everything is for sale- even the decor you see outdoors and the things you'll find in the bathroom! 1A Relics has around 70 vendors so nothing is the same. Everyone brings their own uniqueness. You'll find new things, vintage things, used things, up-cycled things, handmade with love things, and my personal fav... lots and lots of Maine things. (Also a lover of souvenirs as I travel a lot!!) I cashed out at this place. It was great. I wish I could have bought more but I only have so much room to store things on a motorcycle!!! Another added touch was the guest book at the register- I was sure to sign. So cool seeing where all the customers are from, all over the world really!! And of course I took a Moxie to go- I had never heard of it until today and am stoked to try it out! read more

A fun place to browse with over 80 vendors and everything from china to furniture. Lots of collectibles for fans of that stuff. The building alone is worth the stop - even the 5 bathrooms are filled with things to see and buy. A must see every year when I come north. read more

What a find! It was well organized, had beautiful architecture to enjoy while shopping, and a great mix of old, new, and handmade items. Items were priced reasonably, too. We will for sure visit here again when we return! read more
