WARNING! The 2025 Caswell's is under new ownership and the prices of "the old days" are no longer…read more You can buy a box of generic mac and cheese at walmart for .58 cents or you can go to Caswells and pay over $1.25 for a box of mac and cheese that is crushed, covered in dust, and a month from expiring. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! Shame on the New Owners for taking advantage of the elderly and the poor and everyone else that goes there. The Caswell's that everyone came to know and love through the years is DEAD and has ceased to extend its' legendary status in 2025. I has to add 1 star, btw, to post this. Pathetic.

I'm not concerned about expiration dates as long as the packaging is intact; dates are not set in stone, regardless of what some think. I'm getting ready to make another trip to Caswell's soon. They have excellent prices, variety, and quality, if you know how to look. A great place to save money.

The Better Living Center is half indoor farmer's market, half bulk purchasing of pastas, spices and…read morehealthy living products. They carry many local dairy, meat, and fresh vegetables and I believe may have some sort of program for crop share programs etc. They also carry an array of health and beauty products (Natural) ranging from essential oils to Tom's of Maine. Really, this place is like a small, local whole foods, minus the ridiculous prices. Comparison - I bough a bottle of lavender oil at whole foods for 16.99, same bottle at BLC, 8.99. If you live in the area check it out - I always purchase the little lads herbal popcorn, spinach pasta, and various bulk cracker type items. They do have slightly weird hours though, making it a little difficult to plan your visit. However, in the summer the farmers market takes place in the movie theater lot connected to the BLC's.

They have fresh baked goods, veggies, local cheese, specialty meats and all sorts of stuff made/grown in Maine. This is more of a Farmers Market in a great old country store.

If you like a bargain stop in, it's always fun to look as the merchandise is always changing.

My family and I have been coming to this store for about 20 years now. We used to only vacation in…read moreMaine, but now, I live here and so does my mom. We still try to make it to this store at least once a year, if not a few times a year, to support a local business. It is always an adventure to come to this store as you never know what you will find. It can be a little chaotic with books strewn in stacks in the entrance, however, I think that is part of the charm. You may be surprised by a randomly placed book, that you never expected to find. The prices are quite reasonable here which means you can buy a few books at a time! The owner is very nice and always helpful if you are looking for something specific or guidance around the sections of the store. You can always find something here for every kind of reader.

Not much to look at besides their giant AI logo. Yuck. Looks like not a lot of care went in setting this place up.

They source their ice cream from Giffords! That's heckin! I got the cookie monster smush. It was delicious. Everyone was having a great time, the workers were friendly, and the music was good, but I think they are shooting themselves in the foot with all the AI "art". Please, for the love of Augusta, I'm begging the two Maine guys to change their signage. Not only is it ugly but it's so antithetical to what Maine is all about. Mainers love art by other Mainers! It has so much personality! I saw a hand painted painting of the Smush logo in the store and it looked so much better than the sign. If it had more of that I'd be OK with coming back. The place is busy right now, I think, because it's a novelty, but I don't see this eyesore lasting on Main Street if they commit to this look. Considering the damage AI does to ecosystems and how artists are being displaced, I just can't keep supporting them. And it's a bummer too, bc if it weren't for that, I would be telling people allll about this place and going in several times a summer. It is so up my alley! If it was a Pepsi sign with the name in block letters I would be more forgiving than I am now. But as it is, I can only give Smush a review of three stars, at the most. I really hope they consider changing it up because I would love to see this place stick around and become part of the community.
