The older staff and managers seem to be helpful if you can find one, but there is a consistent irritating issue with --in my experience -- many of the younger employees. The store is quite large, probably one of the largest supermarkets in the City. This means it is sometimes difficult to find where items are, especially if it is something other than the basics. Almost without fail, when you ask a question about where something is located, you will get a precise answer. Trouble is that it is almost always wrong. (One Saturday, I had to ask a clerk three times and after three trips still couldn't find my item. Finally I just said "Do you know that (the item) is in that aisle or are you just guessing?" Answer: "Well, I thought it might be." This was the fourth visit in a row with a similar scenario where I was sent running around because someone guessed, or made something up, or answered with a location even though, as it turned out, they didn't even know what the item was I asked for was! (Anchovies, if you're wondering.) How hard is it to call someone else if you don't know an answer? Management--Train your staff members to either answer questions correctly or find someone else who can. If they don't know an answer, admit it. It makes a customer feel devalued to get sent on a wild goose chase -- or two or three -- because it is easier to guess or make something up rather than admit you don't know and find the proper person to deal with it. *Sigh* I really wouldn't take time to write this for a single incident, but it happens all the time at this store and it is so easily preventable with a few minutes training. I like the President's Choice products though, so an extra star for them--if I can find them.

The servings are massive! A hard serve kiddie, described on their menu as 1 scoop, is definitely at least two scoops, each serving size is larger than the last with pricing increasing accordingly.

The place is strictly take out for both good and ice cream however they do have a food hall with screened in windows you can sit inside to eat your order. Everything is clean, and nicely decorated! We ordered four ice creams in cups and a shake. The smalls were at least three scoops. Giffords Ice cream is ok. Hood ice cream is meh. None of us ordered Shaker Pond flavors. They are cash only and there is an ATM on site. The business has been serving up treats for 70 years! They serve food as well; we only ordered ice cream. They are right on historic route one, which you can follow along the coast of Maine for a gorgeous drive!

Thanks to Raye's Mustard--a storefront right downtown featuring allll of their mustards and more. It's amazing that Raye's makes their mustards RIGHT THERE, in Eastport--and not only that, the same family has done so for over 100 years. Everything is handcrafted with a stone-ground mustard mill and made in small batches. If you're a mustard aficionado you'll find everything from plain yellow mustards to various kinds of stone-ground; mustards made with beer, and others with wine; spicy mustards, sweet mustards, peppery mustards; seasonal blends including things like (of course) Maine blueberries and cranberries. What's great is that you can buy regular-sized jars and also little ones, and there are various sets and gift baskets to choose from too. And of course, you can sample anything you want! The staff are all super friendly and knowledgeable, and just ask for a cracker or pretzel with whatever you want to try, and they'll oblige. One thing I should augment here is the use of the term "plain yellow mustard," above: Rayes' versions of the classic yellow (for all of you who, like me, grew up on French's) include the Down East Schooner as well as the Aroostock Gold, and WOW. It's like imagine all the best addictive qualities of French's and punch up and freshen up the tanginess! So basically I came away with big box of mustards that will be shared out for the holidays--I'm delighted to have been able to pick them up right there at the source, but the good news is that you can order online, too!
