We ended up getting a taffy assortment to try, and the kid family members we were with opted for gummy sharks and sea creatures, and some gummy pizzas. I saw some people ahead of us getting frozen lemonades, which looked good. If my friend were with me, I know she would have gotten the chocolate covered gummy bears, which can be hard to come by. There's a little freezer with chocolate covered frozen bananas- in dark and milk chocolate varieties. It was the first time I had a dark chocolate covered frozen banana. It was awesome!

Papers, donuts and…read morecoffee Rockport Market is a little store just stuffed with all kinds of things. The type of place that was very common in most towns before the rise of the large chain super markets. I'm not sure how long it's been around, but I suspect quite a while. The market has all the usually things you would expect from a local market. Plenty of junk food, milk, hot coffee and drinks, soda, local papers, sandwiches, ice cream, bread and even some can goods. The market isn't large but manages to fit in a couple of tables where people can sit to eat their donuts, drink coffee and perhaps engage in a bit of conversation or gossiping. Or you can sit out in front of the store, something that seems to be quite popular. A little local market that isn't going to have everything you need but since there really isn't anywhere else in Rockport it usually is enough. A whole lot quicker and more convenient than driving down to Gloucester for a donut or newspaper.

The fresh peach was the clear winner of the two​, while another member of our party gravitated to the blueberry.

Looks like they are generally open 9am-6pm daily, sometime early May through year end. Order at the counter inside their little shop, pay, and head down the little alley (hold on tightly to your stuff so you don't accidentally drop anything enroute) to their back deck with limited seating, and access to their bathrooms. Listen up for your name and they will bring you your food on a tray. A family of three shared the 3 chicken lobsters for $50 during the 2025 season, and a dozen raw oysters for $30. My single lobster was $18. Single oysters $3 apiece. Creamy clam chowder $7. Stuffed clam $3. The $30 cold lobster roll came with cole slaw and a bag of chips. The hot dog roll looked small but was well filled with fresh sweet lobster meat. Her smoked salmon $8 were two thick chunks of fish. My hot in-shell boiled lobster arrived several minutes after, pre-cracked. Carefully poured out the green water, and I went at it. Making use of the sink by the bathroom afterwards to get cleaned up. A delicious way to start our outing to Rockport! BTW parking in the nearby area is paid and seasonal. Head to the kiosk, enter the license plate, pay an affordable price, and stick the slip on your dashboard. Parking tickets are no fun.

Can't recommend this place enough. Make a reservation!

My buddy had a kettle one martini, and I had an old-fashioned with makers. We share an appetizers of mussels and garlic, white wine, cream broth, served with toasted bread. Best part is they shelled the muscles. $24. I had the crostini special. Lobster salad on toast, tuna salad on toast, and crabcake on toast. Served over a salad. $40 My buddy got shrimp and a spicy marinara sauce over house-made pappadelle pasta. several good size shrimp and just the right amount of spicy kick. $42 - he couldn't finish it. Too full for dessert. Ended it with a delicious cup of coffee. Not too strong, with a little punch. Was sat outside on the side porch and had a lovely view of the ocean, shaded with a slight breeze. It was a nicely leisurely lunch. On the higher side, but certainly well worth it! Our server was Ariel, and she was wonderful. Very personable, took the time to explain the menu, and how they prepare things as this was our first visit. She made some recommendations and she was spot on. I look forward to returning there later this summer. Now that I know that they remove the shells from the clams and mussels dishes, I will try the cioppino next time.
