What a fun shop to explore. Came here because the hubs and I were just walking down Kennebunkport…read more When you walk in, it's a one man show. He says hello and you are immediately taken by all the fabulous items in the shop. There's something for everyone. There are little trinkets to prints or kitchen goods to wallets to jewelry to name something, it's probably there. Price wise, it's not bad at all. I bought some prints for $22, which was cheaper than going directly to the source. It was also letterpress! In any case, it's a very lovely store with quality products, that's priced reasonably. They also will wrap up your item if you need it as a gift. Well, I just noticed that the owner wrapped up a set of glasses for a customer in a box and it was ready as a gift. Very stylish and very simple. Overall, I would come back because it's just such an awesome store.

Fairly normal souvenir shop. However the service is atrocious. We walked in and the employees…read moreignored us the entire time gossiping loudly. When we did get an employee's attention to request a size the employee made an attempt to search the back inventory. Only to be stopped by another employee saying that what they have out is all they had. And adamantly and rudely refusing to check further inventory. They then proceeded to continue to loudly gossip and laugh amongst themselves. Anytime we needed help they acted as though it was a terrible and annoying inconvenience. Unfortunately all the other nearby shops were closed and my husband really wanted a Kennebunk tshirt or we would have happily taken our business elsewhere.

Hey...this is a cool store!…read more First and foremost, there is history here...it was once the Lyric movie theatre. It is located on the waterfront of Dock Square and you can't miss it because the building is red! It is such a beautiful building and serves as the backdrop to a lot of pictures. They have a little bit of everything and I suppose it's a typical souvenir shop...but they do have some unique things here. I really enjoyed looking around and even got quite a few laughs. Just look in the windows and you'll want to go in! They seem to be decently priced as well. The staff is extremely friendly and they even have an online shop. Of course, shopping online is nothing like shopping in the store, but you can find some of their more popular items online.

This little brewtique is glorious. The manager is delightful and is wonderful at filling the little…read moreshop with items and souvenirs that visiting tourists really just love. She's got candles, shot glasses, T-shirt's, sweaters, hoodies, jackets, toys, lobster stuffies, old Maine flag items, hats, stickers galore and much much more. She works hard at getting a nice mix of colorful but useful items throughout the shop. There's also a small tasting room with beers brewed on the premises. They've also got canned and bottled beer for sale as well. So if you're ever visiting the area, I'd take a few minutes to pop on in and say hello. You might make a new forever friend, when buying some awesome Maine items !!

We were just tooling around and stumbled into this place with no real intention to buy anything…read more It's a cool little jewelry store that we found to be right up our alley. Well C did anyway.... I am not a big jewelry guy. Just my wedding ring and my Apple Watch is all I ever need They had an amazing selection and we spent a good amount of time just browsing around. I bet there are 10,000 pieces of jewelry here. The shopkeeper was very patient with us and spent a lot of time telling us about the different jewelry. C found a Tourmaline Ring here that was classified as a "watermelon style". Unique to the stone as it has a pink center, surrounded by a green ring or "rind", mimicking a slice of watermelon. I don't remember what she paid for it exactly, but I did remember thinking she may have been taken advantage of on it. Later in our trip, we stopped by another jewelry store and the shop keeper noticed her new ring and made a big deal about it. Looking around at his prices, she apparently did very well because I remember rings not as nice as hers being $500 plus. She did not pay anywhere near that. Solid visit! I love a good value transaction!! '26 - 80

Its nuts how The Whimsy Shop has been a staple in my memory of Kennebunkport from the early 90s yet…read moreit has so little Yelp reviews. I guess the typical shopper here doesn't actively use Yelp - but still! Anyway, I'm here to add to the review hat - as we were walking though Kennebunkport and stopped in on a...whim. Businesses come and go in Dock Square - some are new, others have been here since I first went to Maine as a child. The Whimsy Shop is on the latter end of that spectrum, and was always known for carrying more upscale gifts compared to a typical touristy souvenir shop. My brothers and I were looking for a gift to bring back to our parents from Maine, and thought this would be a good place to check out. The majority of their selection is home decor - there are a lot of porcelain products as well as a few housewares. They have pretty stuff, and even though it's a small store you can spend a good amount of time browsing. We ultimately decided to go with a hand-painted ceramic snowman to go with our parents' many other snowpeople they display during the holidays - it was intricately painted an truly a unique item. Service was friendly, they packed the item with care and even gave us information about the artist to take home. Overall, I had a great experience rediscovering the Whimsy Shop and would recommend it as a stop during your Kennebunkport explorations.

Lots of space for pets, and a great variety of treats for all tastes. My very picky eater loved the peanut butter & pumpkin biscuits 'state of Maine' cookies (and, yes, we got a bag on our way out).
