I went into the store just to look, not intending to buy anything. But, I left the store with a…read moreset of mixing bowls, a kitchen accessory, and a necklace for my for my daughter-in-law. What helped me buy? * All products were MADE IN THE USA. Really. * The store was easy to shop. Items were placed where you could handle them; prices were clearly marked; and the selection was sufficient, without being overwhelming. * The prices were very reasonable. I googled the items before I bought, and Conklin's was equal to the best price on-line, and better than many retailers. * The owners were on-site; knew their products; and gave great, personal customer service. I'll drive by the stores and shops in Rockland and Camden to experience Conklin's again.

We traveled for a week throughout Maine and found this store to be a dissapointment before even…read moreentering. We travelled with a small puppy i was holding in my arms as courtesy when entering all the stores we visited and 99% of store owners were friendly and welcomed us inside. When we were about to enter this store a man gestured rudely with his hand shooing us due to the puppy i was holding in my arms. I respect rules set forward by business owners and understand if a dog is not allowed however it is unacceptable to treat potential buying customers in such a nasty way. Given my experience and the other negative reviews i can confirm this is not a pleasant place to shop.

Beautiful store with some of the nicest gifts and crafts from Maine. All of their items are high end and just the pick of the litter. I especially liked the hand blown glass lobster floats.

Just wonderful local Maine goods for sale in a nice atmosphere for a great cause.

This shop is HUGE. It's two stories and loaded with tons of things. There are all sorts of…read moretrinkets, kitchen and food items, clothing, keychains, magnets, art, etc. It took me a good 45 minutes to roam around and look at everything and I probably still didn't see it all. I found a few items for myself, my mom, and my daughter inside and the staff were very friendly. We stopped in here a few times and I saw a few different people working behind the counter and all greeted us immediately and were friendly. Make sure to stop in here while in town - it's got more than most of the other shops when you take it all in.

Bottom Line: One of the better shops in downtown Bar Harbor featuring better souvenirs, some local…read moreproducts and LL Bean clothing. The Acadia Corporation owns and runs eight different individual stores in the Bar Harbor area that collectively are referred to as "Acadia Shops." This specific review is for the two story "Acadia Shop" located at 85 Main Street. Because the Acadia Corporation is running many stores in Bar Harbor stuff really starts to look the same from store to store but the Acadia Shop stood out to me because upstairs they had some local art and quality LL Bean gear. I enjoyed looking at the prints and notecards from local artists. Also, on a cold and rainy day it was nice to peruse lots of warm and cozy jackets and zip-ups from LL Bean. Downstairs was more souvenir-y like t-shirts, magnets, signs, candy, etc.

It's gone through a change in ownership since my last review. While some of the items have changed, most has remained the same. The inventory has definitely grown and there's not as many "local Maine" items as there was. But it's all high quality, hand picked special things that need to find a home in your house. I just know whomever does the shopping to stock this store, is living their absolute best life when they go out on the hunt to source their products.
