The potters, David and Diane, are talented and just the nicest people. They always take time to talk and tell you a story, or recommend a restaurant. It is always a pleasure to go to the shop and discover a new piece. We've been shopping there for years and years and have bought quite a few pieces for ourselves and some for gifts. We even sent 2 of the unique leaf imprint mugs to people in Ireland! They love them and have highlighted them in their YouTube posts. we are true fans!

Lot of good items to purchase as you browse the booths. Mostly of venders showcasing their specialties. Perhaps like a walk in Etsy store. It was fun to walk around and view the items.

Since we were in Wells on our way to the nearby Maine Diner for lunch, we thought a stop here would be a fun blast from the past - so off we went. CC is essentially a collective of vendors who are selling their merchandise; the store is divided into little "cubbies" across two floors - with each cubby showcasing a specific vendor and their merch. The selection varies - lots of home decor in varying styles, but I also saw a lot of crap too like used Tupperware and old McDonald's toys from the 90s. There were a few VHSs which awesome if you're collecting those - but then I saw some marked up Beanie Babies? We were truly stepping back in time when entering Cole's. Overall, this was a fun throwback - there's a lot of stuff here to see so you can easily spend a good chunk of time going through each vendor. If you're staying in the Wells/Kennebunkport area it's worth a stop in.

Businesses come and go in Dock Square - some are new, others have been here since I first went to Maine as a child. The Whimsy Shop is on the latter end of that spectrum, and was always known for carrying more upscale gifts compared to a typical touristy souvenir shop. My brothers and I were looking for a gift to bring back to our parents from Maine, and thought this would be a good place to check out. The majority of their selection is home decor - there are a lot of porcelain products as well as a few housewares. They have pretty stuff, and even though it's a small store you can spend a good amount of time browsing. We ultimately decided to go with a hand-painted ceramic snowman to go with our parents' many other snowpeople they display during the holidays - it was intricately painted an truly a unique item. Service was friendly, they packed the item with care and even gave us information about the artist to take home. Overall, I had a great experience rediscovering the Whimsy Shop and would recommend it as a stop during your Kennebunkport explorations.

Online the return policy isn't posted clearly either. Summary: a certain amount of time. When I went to return a gift, which I had my email receipt, the cashier told me of this policy, which I brought to her attention is ABSURD. She proceeded to call the owner, WHO, said they closed out the 2025 year and could not even provide a gift card. Okay, business owner, other businesses can provide a gift card or provide a full return. Clearly you are lazy and do not want to have happy customers. I live locally and shop down in the port often. I will continue to tell people not to shop at your business because you care more about your sales than customer satisfaction. Sincerely, An unhappy local customer
