    a shelf with boxes of candies
    Hannah B.

    Saw this store while driving from Boston to Rockport. Of course we had to stop in. 2 sweet order women were running the store. Everything is homemade except the taffy. You pay by the pound. Everything from fudge to mint cups to chocolate desserts. This is family owned and has been in business for 85 years! How cool! Great selection!

    Chocolate galore!!

    Chocolate heaven......Really....everything chocolate...stacks and stacks of it. I have been to Gloucester twice now and have driven by this candy shop over and over again and I finally convinced my boyfriend to stop. The first thing you smell is chocolate, the first thing you see is tables of chocolate and the first thing I did was drool. At Nichols they make everything. They have a small room where they have the machines to create this amazing homemade candy. The lovely women who seemed to be the owners were great, very welcoming. You are not aloud to go and pick up the candy with your hands yourself, the ladies will grab a bag and take you around each table for you to choose your selection. That is the only thing I didnt like, I wanted to grab what I wanted and not have some one follow me. But the chocolate was amazing and if I ever make a trip back I am stopping again and leaving with more then three bags. The chocolate was incredible, best I have ever had!!!! So many different kinds....chocolate covered nuts, berries, mints, coconut.....amazing!!!!

    A trip to Rockport wouldn't be complete without a stop at the Country Store. Think old fashioned…read morecandy shop meets quirky retro insanity. With a real, functioning Nickelodeon (that costs more than a nickel), retro-inspired lunch tins, magnets, signs and books, incense, gag gifts, candles, cookie cutters, mugs, toys, and other eclectic goodies, this store is packed to the brim with unique and entertaining merchandise. And don't forget the penny candy (that costs more than a penny....a lot more). The entire left-hand wall is lined top to bottom with plastic bins of self-serve bulk candy. Nostalgic for Squirrel Nut Zippers? Wondering what ever happened to Teaberry Gum? Well wonder no more. From licorice to Nerds, bubble tape and flavored tootsie rolls, even those weird marshmallowy coconut watermelon slices, it's all here. Not to mention the dozens of flavors of Jelly Belly Jellybeans. Just grab a bag, fill it up, bring it to the counter for weighing and enjoy all of your favorite sweets. Or maybe a huge dill pickle or some fresh popcorn (maybe not all at once...) The Country Store has knick knacks from head to toe, and with so many different candies and trinkets to look at, it's hard to leave empty handed.

    Big fan of this place…read more Hasn't changed since I was a kid. Lots of fun toys and tons of candy. Love it. This place is a must to stop by when you're kicking around Rockport. If you have kids: be careful because they will hound you like crazy for all that candy!!!

    Looks like they added to their menu that only used to be beer battered fish & chips…read more Get the crab roll! Jonah crabmeat made lobster roll style. Don't get the lettuce - not worth the add-on. Mayo with celery is the way to go. Fish & chips served with malt vinegar & ketchup. Perfect size portions for each. No leftovers for average eaters. Located in a fish market Order at the counter on your right and it's ready in about 10 minutes. Seafood counter is separate. A couple of outdoor tables with umbrellas but people also eat in their car since it's a quick bite. Very small parking lot and very limited on-street parking. *Tip: share a meal so you have room for Holy Cow ice cream 1-block away.

    Came here upon getting off the commuter rail station at Gloucester. It's a quick walk and looked…read morecute. However the food options are kind of limited. They only have three tables between their front entrance and few parking spots. Most people seem to come here to buy seafood to bring home rather than eat on the spot. We ordered: fish and chips, lobster roll, and clam chowder. Fish and chips is the highlight here. The batter is so airy and light and crunchy. The fish is juicy and soft and flaky. It's not the most flavorful fish but the texture makes up for it. The lobster roll wasn't as exciting. Meat was a bit rough and had shell bits inside. Bread was a bit dry too.
