Downstairs in the basement tho...totally differed from the main floor and second floor. Basement...smells...moist lol. There is art down there and other things for sale, but you will smell it the second you get down there. It smells like....an old basement haha Staff is vert friendly and they want to help. Store literally draws you in from the street. The store front is as beautiful as the inside. Just a unique place. It definitely adds to the magic of Main Street...In beautiful and magical Bar Harbor! So Yelpers...Go In The Woods! You will love it! Cheers!

There are a bunch of toys at the entrance at child height. My husband was watching our daughter and…read moreshe was touching the toys. She had placed one on the floor to test roll it gently, as he was intending to buy it, when a store associate told him she shouldn't touch the toys because dogs come into the store. Then she continued on about how if that's what we want to do it's our kid but not to play with the toys. My husband apologized and was having our daughter put it back. I was shrugging the moment off and tried to continue to shop but then overheard the associate continue on to her coworker about how "they can't read" and "they don't want to tell their precious little one no" etc, etc. The tone was all very condescending and unnecessary when we had already complied and apologized. We had been in the shop only moments, were watching to make sure our kid didn't break anything, so no, we hadn't gotten around to reading the sign. I fetched my family and we left, which is disappointing because I had been looking forward to shopping here specifically. Items looked lovely, staff interaction left me uncomfortable.

Back during the 90s..."oMG! iAm rEAllY! aGInG MySElf" I used to hate when older people said that…read moreback then, but now I am saying...but as a joke b/c of how much I Hated it lol. So I was in high school back then and there used to be this store called, The 6T's Shoppe. It was a go-to store for all us 90s kids who posed as hippies haha! Yeah, we were all posers back then. We did everything hippies did, but talk to a 60s hippie and they'll all say...."you guys are all posers" LOL Whatever. I was a 90s hippie kid and I worked in the 6T's shoppe until I left to travel around from concert to concert, music fest to music fest...with other *poser* hippies LOL. That job was amazing! I can't say exactly what I would do before work haha! But it made for a fun shift every time. I would make jewelry all day while at work and actually sell quite a bit of it. Store sold everything we little hippies loved. SO! Whenever I come across stores like that...it warms me little heart! Makes me so happy that they still exist. Walking on Main Street in Bar Harbor...you go into many many many MANY! tourist shops that all sell the exact same thing as the next. Then...you come across Bar Harbor Hemporium. It a great sized store and has all things...hippie. I gotta say, it's kinda odd to see a store like this on Main St there. It's very bougie in Bar Harbor. Broke my heart too that there weren't many going in here either. They were there for BH shirts, Maine shirts and magnets, and everything else Maine this and Maine that. So to go to a store like this that sells like..Dead shirts, tie dyes, hemp jewelry, incense, etc... yeah, a little different from the rest of the strip. Don't get me wrong tho, I am very happy it is there and I SO hope it succeeds. Hippie stores need to thrive and stay alive. It makes us 90s kids very happy and brings us back to a time that so wish had never come to an end. Walking into these stores in a sweet little flashback (not that bad kind some get from Cid! Luckily, Cid was always kind to me :) ) but we get a sweet little flashback to a time where life was BEYOND carefree, where we traveled all over the country for god knows how long, where it seemed like everyone got along, social media, cell phones, tech in general was NOTHING like it is today! Back when...again...social media was nonexistent! and that made life so beautiful. Its like a hug from our past, a nice little hug from our past saying...even tho those years have past, your memories haven't. I know that sounds weird...especially when I am talking about a little ole hippie store in Bar Harbor, but there are places like that for all of us that remind us of the 70s, or the 80s, and yep, the 90s. I love places like that. I love that we still see them. We had a couple in Idaho...but I think we are just down to one now and it's in the mall and well...it kind of doesn't count bc it's nothing as cool at the Hemporium. Girl working was ....hmm, maybe a little sketch, but once we started talking to her, she opened up and talked to us like we had been friends for a MINUTE! So she was cool, I guess. Prices were what you'd expect. Not crazy expensive, but not cheap either. I mean, it may be a hippie store and all, but hippie stores have never been cheap. They are for some reason always so overpriced haha! But yeah, it's still Bar Harbor and I imagine the rents for these stores are NOT cheap. Please go if you are in Bar Harbor! Just check it out! Im sure you will find something. Even if you were a preppy college girl during the 90s I am 100% positive you wore hemp necklaces! haha! Why do I say that? Because I used to make and sell them to college girls back then allllll of the time! When I was home in NY or when I went on the road. This store will have something for all of us who were 90s kids and those of us who rocked some of that classic 90s fashion haha! DAMN! We were kind of the coolest kids haha! Thanks for reading, YelpHemporiumerss! Cheers!

And the fun doesn't stop there - they also sell prints and easy but beautiful kits for making lighthouses and other simple projects. And they'll give you advice on buttons or materials or anything else sewing-related. Not to be missed for crafters in the area!

Everything is made by local artisans, and many pieces look to be one of a kind. They have wall art, blown glass, yarn art, and lots of pottery.

My husband and I stumbled across this store and loved it. Many stores in downtown Bar Harbor start to feel the same but The Beehive has a different buzz about it. The interior was quaint and classic but it also had a clean, modern flair to it. I spent most of my time looking at many whimsical products they carry from Fred (aka Genuine Fred) before settling on two potholders with sassy sayings like, "Recipe for Disaster." We also looked at hip crewel pillows, candles and souvenirs. Also, we enjoyed the pretty "Greetings from Acadia Nat'l Park" mural. The employee was friendly and if my suitcase wasn't busting at the seams I would have spent even more money here. This just might "bee" my very favorite store in Bar Harbor.

I thought their product seemed fresh and in great condition. They had some very unusual flowers from South America that looked like bird feathers and felt like velvet to touch. Long stemmed roses were two dollars a stem. Three white hydrangeas were $10 and frankly that was the same cost as Cost Co to get that particular flower.
