(The other varieties are notable too!) The butcher shop has the freshest and best cuts of meat. All around a winner. As for ambiance, Thwaites is like a warm hug. It's a "Mom and Pop" store in the best sense. My only regret is that now I have over an hours drive to get there but it's still worth it! Patricia D.

The store is pretty spacious and offers many different apple products and produce. We got some apple cider donuts and maple pop corn. They were both delicious. Nice little stop and people were nice.

The delightful scent of coffee was in the air and the staff were absolutely friendly as you approached the counter. Despite a buzz of patrons trickling in and ordering, the coffee was delivered to the table shortly after I sat. The staff obviously had a strong momentum going as I watched other tables being served just as quickly. Before I could even really start sipping on my piping hot Cafe Au Lait, I was served my salad and crepe. It was fun to watch how each person worked their station passionately. The lady preparing the crepes meticulously cleaned her station as she cooked. The staff on coffee were brewing away and sending cups out to diners. Other items were coming out from the back kitchen. They worked in unison like a well oiled machine. I definitely enjoyed my coffee. My salad was generous and hit the spot. The crepe was acceptable. Would I come back? Yeah, definitely my type of breakfast spot when visiting Portsmouth again. I definitely will try their croissants next time as well as check out their wine bar in the evenings!

A number of sauces, though not what I've ever been looking for. Huge candy selection (including Jammie Dodgers and Jelly Babies for the Whovians). Good range of preserves and jams. Holiday items tend to persist for a long time after the holidays so long as the food sell-by isn't past. A small selection of tchotchkes and sodas are also sold.

Came in about 15 mins before they closed and it was crazy busy but they were handling the rush really well. Baristas offered a bit of info about the coffees they were brewing but it seemed like they were more concerned about the rush, which is fair enough. Definitely would want to go back during a time that's less busy to learn more about their coffee.

#47 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES…read more The pastries here are too die for! I believe their famous for their biscuits (which are delicious) but what surprised me was their black sesame banana bread, so good! Very soft and moist. Their coffees are also delicious. They have a large variety of pastries and common cafe drinks. My partner got their mocha and I got a vanilla iced latte. Both drinks were good, nothing that makes them too exceptional, but classic drinks done right. There is a small inside area to sit in and a large outside seating area. Parking lot available.

Cute place in a tourist town…read more I know it sounds a bit ridiculous (and I'm aware there's probably somewhere in Portland that has this) but I came here pretty much solely to get HP sauce, which I am appalled that standard grocery stores in Portland do not have! Sure, Amazon has it too and all that but I figured it made a good excuse to come out to Freeport and get HP sauce and maybe a couple other things. Tea drinkers and jelly lovers will have quite a time here. The shop is quite small and very much a gift shop. A bit peculiar to have in Freeport, Maine, maybe... but nevertheless there were a lot of worthless trinkets that could have easily been purchased. But I limited myself to just three items. I just realized i forgot to look in the fridge! Auuuugh!!! I guess I have to go back now.
