Okay I love a fancy kid's store. I just do, I think they're so cute, but often so like weirdly out…read moreof touch with what a child would actually want. This store is not that!! This is literally the best-curated kid's store I've ever been to. A ton of books, including a lot I hadn't seen in stores before before but that were classics or classic-adjacent. Cute clothes, cute toys, just everything you could ask for. And the layout of the shop is so good too!! Lots of great little clusters of related items. One nice bonus is like, yeah, it's not cheap kid's stuff, but you also have a million books at list price to choose from. So if you're burnt out on KPT prices, you can get great souvenirs at the same price you'd pay at home. Honestly 10/10, no notes, I would definitely come back if I was ever in the state (even if I were just going to Portland).

I Like That is mostly a t-shirt store. There are also bathing suits and baby clothes, but it's…read moreprimarily t-shirts. If you're a guy looking for a T with what looks like the AC/DC logo but it really says AD/HD, here you go. Or if you're a woman in need of a "Talk nerdy to me" shirt, you're all set. Maybe you've got a baby in need of an "I'm with the MILF" shirt. It's all here. The hot shirt right now is the "Portsmouth is the Bomb" shirt with a picture of a bus on the front. You guessed it, we had a bomb scare on a Greyhound bus a few weeks ago and now you can buy the shirt. I didn't buy anything here but tourists who are afraid of going home empty-handed might want to check this store out. Three stars because there's nothing wrong with the place but to be honest, I don't get it.

They advertised $20 for a custom tee-shirt while you wait, and they really delivered. I showed up…read morewith a thumb drive, and five minutes later it was printed and ready to go. You can bring your own tee, but price is $10 a print. They recommend cotton only for best printing. It's a weird mix of things, like stand up paddle boards, clothing, and craft beer, but you can tell these are all thing the owner likes to have around-and thus named the store after their interests.

I adore this store! It is located one street over from Main, on busy North Ave, sandwiched between…read morethe Diner and a dance studio. It opened in the summer and has been quite a hit. A big, thoughtfully decorated window invites one in where you will find a divine collection of childrens' clothing, accessories, books, toys and other items bound to delight any youngster. The selection is good without being overwhelming and while more pricey than, say, Walmart or similar stores, I think you get excellent value for what you are getting. Some of the lines they carry come from England and are just adorable. And it isn't just for girls - I have got things for my now almost 2 year old nephew which were original and charming. In the back by the check out area, there is a display of some lovely jewelry, bags, and other pretty things for Mom or Grandma too. Or in my case, Auntie! I got two beautiful necklaces and some earrings on my first visit. The owner and her mother run it together and both are just delightful. I've had some excellent conversations there while checking out. Young mothers with babies are often to be found there and it is a warm and welcoming place. They often have sales and weather permitting a table of interesting items outside. Whether you are shopping for a new baby or a five year old, you will find something here that is unique, well made and just what you didn't know you were looking for. Check it out! You will be very glad you did.

This is a high-end children's store where you pay good money for items. I live out of state and was visiting my inlaws who live in town, so store credit is of little use to me. I purchased a pair of mittens that didn't end up working for my little one, went to return them not even 24 hours later, THEN was informed of the return policy. They have lost any future business i would have given them along with my local family's. The upside of this shop is that their selection of goods is adorable and of good quality. The staff is also very friendly and willing to help. Happy shopping and CHOOSE WISELY!!

The prices are higher than what I like to spend for kids stuff, but they're in line with other boutique style shops and they carry high quality products. It's not somewhere I would go for an entire wardrobe but I consistently buy gifts here. But it's their customer service that really gets me. The staff here is so incredibly helpful. One staffer here not only measured shoes for me while we were on the phone to make sure I was buying the right size, but she also texted me pictures of everything they had in stock in the size I needed. Then when I couldn't find parking she ran my purchase out to the curb for me so I wouldn't have to schlep my two kids in at the height of COVID. They really go above and beyond here!

Prices are very reasonable! The store is very clean and very well organized! All the items are in good condition! I like the shoe section organized by size. I saw some barefoot books in the backside near their restroom! Definitely a great place for moms and moms to be as a nice stop to outfit their little ones along prepping for the baby to be! Oh and a plus! Maternity clothing!
