I probably would not have come here had it not been for a book I just read ("Was it Something I…read moreSaid?" By Alison Cheperdak) that praised this place. There is a really impressive variety of sweets: chocolate and non chocolate, bars, truffles, gummies, jaw breakers, etc. There is something for everyone (even vegans!). My husband and I tried the Dubai dark chocolate and the strawberry lime prosecco truffles. Goodness, they were good!! The latter was probably the best truffle I ever had! It turns out it is one of the most popular items (I learned this when I came back). Service was better than expected! The teenage girl who helped me was friendly and quick. Stop by for a truffle if you're in this area!

We were politely greeted upon entering, and leisurely browsed the store without any issues. The chocolate covered graham crackers, and fudge were so fresh, and rich in chocolatey flavor.

Your classic beach town candy shop, Perkins Cove Candies was a delight. Although we noticed…read moremultiple shops throughout the area, we visited the one IN Perkins Cove. Classic candy shop feel with a wide selection of saltwater taffy, chocolates and fudge which they make locally. All other candies are not local, which kind of bummed me out - especially when I thought the gummy and sour lobsters were made locally! We were glad to support and shop small with purchasing several chocolate covered Oreos, Buttercrunch, Chocolate Potato Chips, and some nostalgic gum for the kids. The staff was not particularly welcoming, but was helpful as needed. Another customer actually did a better job recommending some chocolates to us. Cute spot overall!

Often times my waffle cone is also always stale when I go... Still such a cute place and a great place to bring large crowds like I said!

My boyfriend is a coffee ice cream connoisseur so he got a small dirty water (Columbian coffee with swirls) in a waffle cone which was gigantic and absolutely delicious. I got the famous pink carton flight. The list of flavors is very overwhelming and I am a creature of habit with peanut butter or chocolate themed ice creams, however I decided to branch out and try a huge variety. I got Peanut butter pie, Lemon meringue, Salty caramel truffle, Seriously s'mores, Blueberry crumble, Boston blackout. My favorite was still the peanut butter pie of course but I was so surprised to find out how much I enjoyed the lemon meringue and blueberry crumble. Everything was ridiculously delicious and it was great quality, creamy, real ice cream. We will 110% be back here to try more flavors!!

Some were, some weren't. But fortunately, Big Daddy's were! And to prove it, there was one helluva healthy line of customers waiting to get their frozen fix in a cup or a cone. They have around 50 ice cream flavors, plus some sorbets, sherberts, and yogurts. We were so intrigued by one of their flavors that we both ordered it. I mean, c'mon, when have you ever seen Banana Chocolate Chip on a menu? It was excellent. Smooth and creamy with a definite banana flavor and plenty of chocolate chips. A Kiddie portion was a pricey $6.95, but in all fairness, that Kiddie portion was equal in size to some of the "small" scoops we've had over the years at various ice cream joints. Big Daddy has four locations in the Wells, Ogunquit, and Kennebunkport area, so if you're up this way during the summer, you won't be too far from experiencing an experience with Big Daddy!

The homemade fudge is to die for, so creamy and so many flavors. How could anyone ever decide on one? From the jelly bean floor to the adorable displays, to the over flowing well stocked and displayed candy bins. Did I mention the icecream? There is nothing better on a hot summer day than a cone from Josie's. For a real treat bring to kids along to see who might be dancing out front of the store. Is it a lobster? A shark? A Hershey kiss? A unicorn? It's always a surprise and a great family photo moment. Be sure to drop by to see Kathy and her fabulous crew!! Carol H.

This store has never asked a kid to leave ever, I have never seen such a grumpy old obnoxious individual since the 80s, and I've been coming here for the last 30 years with my children and now my grandchildren. They always go out of their way to make sure everybody is accommodated and they even set up face painting and tattoos for the kids outside. This is a very welcoming store to all and a family candy store in downtown York Beach, Maine. Considering you came in so hot with that hat on and you were definitely trying to make a political statement in a candy store that caters to families.
