I love planning our trips. Not only do I select what towns we visit and what we want to see or do…read morein each town, I also plan the food side of it... where we eat meals, any snacks or treats. I have it all written out, so we know where we'll be going. Kind of like... when in Rome, do as the Romans do. For me, I need to know ahead of time what that'll be, so we can do them. Such was the case with Wilbur's of Maine Chocolates. Don't remember now where I read about this place, but some blogger mentioned them with high praise, so on my list this place went. We made a point to stop by Wilbur's on our way to Boothbay Harbor (also in Maine for those who don't know), and we are so glad we did. This is primarily a candy shop... but it is so much more. They have other food items, home decor, gift items, and of course, lots of chocolate. We bought a couple of stuffed animals for our grandchildren, as well as some flavored sauces in a jar (to be poured over ice cream), and we couldn't leave without buying some chocolates ! We tried some chocolate-dipped orange rind and a few truffle flavors as well. Everything was very fresh and tasty. If I'm ever fortunate enough to be in Maine again, I'm sure we will stop here again.

This continues to be my favorite candy store in Maine. 5 stars for the offerings, the staff and…read moreparking. They offer more than my favorite chocolates. They continue to expand, to offer local Maine products, both food and textiles - it's a great place to go for buying gifts for people. Some of my favorites are shown in the pictures - I love anything maple and their maple malt balls are my absolute favorite! I love their chocolate covered products, pretzels, cherries, peanuts, raisins and blueberries and so much more. They sell Sweet Monkey Business shortbread cookies on occassion - they are the best in Maine for packaged cookies. The owner is very kind as well. This year (2025) my favorite purchase was the Candy Cottage kit! So cute and creative and it smells so much better than gingerbread. I loved it. Great for gift giving as well. Parking is great and there is an car charging spot as well if you are lucky enough to snag the spot. Not a super charger, but it's something. I hope to be able to participate in a special event sometime. They offer tours, and candy making events, like make your own candy cane. With that said, I highly recommend. Stop on by, you might see me shopping LOL

Well, we may have just stumbled upon what candy shoppe dreams are made of yesterday. I can't…read morebelieve that we found such a gem in Freeport, Maine of all places. First off- pro tip- Always get their signature Scotch Kisses! Get more than one and thank me later. Scotch Kisses are their homemade caramel wrapped around a soft marshmallow. Holy moly. The best!! I bought one and will now dream of this candy confection for months to come. I need to check if they ship these! Wilbur's wide variety of candy is housed on their second floor. Head upstairs. They had just started decorating for Halloween and you could not pick a better spot to find in the month of October. Candy + Halloween = Perfection. I stocked up on some Halloween themed candy and even found some Pumpkin Pie Jelly Bellies there! Woah, First time trying them and yum. I found my classic rock candy there too. I am more of a sugar candy fan than chocolate guy, so the upstairs was like a dream come true. I even found a pack of Fruit Stripes gum! Classic. I can't believe the bag of candy that I walked out with for under $20. Support local and frequent Wilbur's. The next time I am in Maine, I will most definitely be back! P.S. I found them using the Yelp app and I couldn't be happier.

They bake close to 10,000 whoopie pies a day which are then distributed to their Freeport store, retailers, and customers across the country. My personal favorites are the chocolate chip and peanut butter, but everything I've tried has been delicious! love the oversized portions! They are larger than the size of your hand. The store itself adds to the experience, and it's obvious that a lot of care goes into both the product and the presentation. Always a treat when I get my hands on them!

Lindt is located slightly off Main Street in the Freeport Village Center…read more We entered in the front which is an ice cream shop and walked through to the back for candy. As I entered I heard, does anyone want a sample, why yes I do! There were over 20 different flavors from dark chocolate to raspberry to coconut in bins in the middle of the store. I picked one of most flavors. I love how creamy Lindt chocolates are. They weigh your purchase at the register, it is $23 per pound. There were many other types of packaged chocolates. For a gift or a treat for yourself I recommend stopping in to the Lindt chocolate shop.

I have to put blinders on the wife when we walk by the Lindt Store because she wants to get a box…read moreevery time we pass it. I am kidding, but joking aside this location has quite an array of Lindt truffle flavors and an assortment of individual bars to choose from. They also have a coffee bar where you can indulge in specialty coffee drinks (or lattes, however you want to define them) which include flavoring from some of their famous chocolates. Prices are comparable to other retail locations that carry their chocolates and this store tends to offer large quantity discounts if you get into the 75-150 piece range.I believe we walked out with 150+ for around $45 during one of their specials. I counted 150 when putting them into the box, but when the lady at the counter weighed it, she told me to add about 18 more and then she rang me up. I won't complain if they are asking me to add more items and still charge me the same. The store layout is a bit small, so it's difficult to navigate the truffle area due to its proximity to the checkout counter. You are always having to say excuse me because the line always extends into the one area where you are selecting your chocolates. They always offer each person a sample from their sample of the day chocolate.

As far as popcorn stores go, I haven't found anything better than this place/product. The popcorn…read moreshops from the 80s don't compare to this new company. I have been eating this brand of popcorn for more than a year and buying it from resellers. I was happy, but was always curious about the other flavors but nervous to commit to a back of something I might not like...and I found a brick and mortar store :) I have been in here a couple of times and the staff has been welcoming, friendly and proactive to assist tastes buds of all levels of enthusiasm. I typically know what I want to buy, but if they are offering free samples, how can I say no! I don't want to hurt their feelings afterall. The most adventurous flavor I have sampled is maple siracha. I am a fan of maple flavor and a fan of siracha. Combined? I'm not sure, I might have to try again...it definitely left a little after burn - nice spicy heat. My go to flavors, Maine Maple, Parmesan Garlic, and white cheddar. I love that I can different sized bags at this location and they bag it on demand. For some reason it just tastes more fresh than when I purchase from a reseller. I also love that they give you a wire wrap to keep the bag closed IF and I mean IF in the event you don't eat the bag at once. This is now the only popcorn I buy and I highly recommend it. Please stop by this location in the area, taste allllll the flavors and chat with the friendly staff. If you love popcorn, you'll love this place.

We needed to get something fresh for dinner at the airport and I saw this while searching the area. We were helped by friendly staff at the deli counter who made us a hummus wrap and turkey sandwich to go and I got a pasta salad from their fresh deli salads. I love local markets like this with fresh items and a deli when I travel and I'm so glad we found this. They had my baby's favorite snacks in the toddler section and some delicious grab and go drinks in the cooler as well. They won't have all the things since it's a smaller, boutique market, but quality is here.

Cute place in a tourist town…read more I know it sounds a bit ridiculous (and I'm aware there's probably somewhere in Portland that has this) but I came here pretty much solely to get HP sauce, which I am appalled that standard grocery stores in Portland do not have! Sure, Amazon has it too and all that but I figured it made a good excuse to come out to Freeport and get HP sauce and maybe a couple other things. Tea drinkers and jelly lovers will have quite a time here. The shop is quite small and very much a gift shop. A bit peculiar to have in Freeport, Maine, maybe... but nevertheless there were a lot of worthless trinkets that could have easily been purchased. But I limited myself to just three items. I just realized i forgot to look in the fridge! Auuuugh!!! I guess I have to go back now.

I visit about every 2 weeks to get my dad a quarter pounder and 1 time I opted for an iced coffee. I'll preface by saying I asked for an iced coffee, 1/2 of the caramel pumps they normally do, some cream, no other sweetener. The entire reason I'm writing this review is because whoever made the coffee that day NAILED it. I don't like DD, SBux is okay but McDonald's iced coffee, when made correctly, hits! They usually ask me to pull into a spot so they can make the quarter pounder fresh. Despite feeling like I have to wait a bit, I know it's for good reason. One time they didn't include fries in the bag so now I check when they bring the order out. The inside has a lot of seats but the menu on the self serve screens is presented differently than the drive-thru and I actually could not find a regular quarter pounder and ended up ordering a version with lettuce and tomato on accident. Very friendly staff!

Other than the way it looks and the location it's just a McDonald's.
