They have any and every kind of candy that you can think of. I'm 45 today and just went there this…read morepast weekend and was trying to stop by today but I forgot they didn't open until 12:00. They not only have an amazing candy selection but they also have homemade chocolates and fudge. And I was actually going back today to get more of this one particular kind of fudge that I haven't had anywhere else. It's a white and it's like a nougat fudge. And it is amazing! It's marshmallowy but still dense like fudge. It's amazing! Everything at this store is amazing! The prices are very very good for what you get! I was amazed that the ridiculous volume of candy that I bought with my 5-year-old son and my wife this past Saturday only came to like $21 and change. So if you're in the area, I live in Augusta and am willing to drive up here I would give them a shot.

We visited our daughter and her family in Maine and spent a weekend at Moosehead Lake. We went…read moreinto town, and our grandchildren really wanted to go to this candy shop. There was a sign that said only 4 people at a time in the store, unless it was a family. Ok, we opened the door and there were 4 people in there and the lady said we had to wait. So we are right outside the door waiting and 2 or the 4 people left. My grandchildren were anxious and started walking in before we could stop them, and the lady said as soon as those 2 people left, we could come in. So then those 2 people walk out, so we go in. There are 2 people in there that came in through a back door. The lady tells us that we have to wait again. We had been patiently waiting for a while, and she lets 2 people come in ahead of us. Why couldn't she just tell them that a family was waiting at the front door and they would have to wait? We walked across the street and bought our grandchildren their candy at a drugstore!

So glad I stumble onto this place. Great to see a huge array of organic/ natural foods offerings…read more As we all lead busy lives , it great to find a place of natural and wholesome goodness without all the additives and reprocessed products. It is a bit more expensive but we all know it cost a little more to put wholesome foods into our bodies. In the end it is better for us. I love the different types of flour one can get. Next time I wanted to get wholesome/ organic flour to make artisan bread I will definitely get enough to bake rather than buying a 5 lbs bag in the supermarket that goes to waste because of expiration dates. In the end less waste and throw aways and I'm all about that. My hubby wanted to get Dr Bronner's soap so I searched and found this place. And yes they do carry it. A great find place to stumble upon!

The prices are a little higher than my husband would like to pay, but I don't feel like I am being stolen from as in many other natural food stores.

They give the kind of warmth and above-and-beyond service that is rarely found anywhere. I had never been in the shop, but follow them on social media. Upon seeing some special cookies I wanted for my grandchildren who were coming to visit, I asked to order a few. It turned out that they were not available, but instead of simply informing me of that, the owner got in touch to offer that the kids could come in and do a pretzel dipping session. I was thrilled to have a little surprise for them. But that wasn't all--the ladies donned costumes for the Alice in Wonderland theme and gave the kids a magical experience. I was truly blown away by how much they put into making it fun and engaging. The old bank vault is absolutely beautiful. The kids went in and put on costumes themselves, posing for tea party pics and checking out the various Wonderland-themed features. These ladies are truly the sweetest and created a highlight of our grandchildren's visit! Now I need to go back for ice cream. Highly recommend!
