The Blue Lobster has mugs, hats, magnets, merch and much more! I almost spent my entire check in there! Their store is spacious too so it's quite easy to move around and shop freely.

However I do not think I'll be shopping here much longer. I had stopped by to grab a gift the other day and was helped by an older woman I did not recognize. Like I mentioned previously, the staff here is always very friendly and helpful. This woman was not. A minute into asking for her assistance I was disappointed to discover she was down right bossy and pushy, I could tell she was only focused on making the sale and not actually helping me. And when I tried to wave off the help and shop for myself, she lingered and closely watched me shop while chatting my ear off about her children. I'm a mother, god knows I talk about my kids any chance I get-but this just felt excessive and almost manipulative. Eventually the other younger lady happened to pop into the back room and was swift in saving me from the uncomfortable situation. She was very helpful and actually listened to me. On my way out I had also asked her about the lady I had encountered previously and learned that she apparently is the new manager. Needless to say, if that is how this store is going to be run from now on I feel bad for both the staff and customers. I don't think I will be shopping here for much longer. Such a shame since everything is so lovely.

Me and my wife stopped in here randomly to browse, and it ended up being a great spot for grabbing…read morea gift for our little niece. Despite coming to Portland for many years, this spot never caught our eye. My wife is a big fan of stuffies and animal related items in general. I will say that in my opinion the prices here do seem high, but it does appear to be more of custom/smaller created items. I could be incorrect though as I noticed other reviews mention finding similar items cheaper. We did find a perfect gift of a stitched elephant for our niece that we know she will love. The high prices and lack of much enthusiasm and greeting from the workers is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Might be more of a spot to browse than actually purchase from but nonetheless check it out.

This store had a ton of OOB items as well as a ton of tacky gimmick attire. The prices were reasonable and they had a ton of inexpensive shirts. We ended up stocking up on gifts for little money.

Located right on Commercial Street is the perfect location to catch the eyes of tourists. It is a good sized store although some spots if busy can turn into a traffic jam of people. They have a large variety of Maine clothing and random assortment of things to remind you of your trip to Portland. A lot of prices were what you would expect of a tourist hot spot gift shop. No interaction with staff ourselves but they seemed friendly with customers who bought items. Good enough to look around, but if you have the time check out the similar nearby stores as well! You may find better deals and/or items.

I tried to register online and ran into issues; when I went back in, it felt like more of a hassle for Mr. Beanie-Glasses-¿Chin-Strap-Beard? (hard to really remember). This kind of dismissive behavior isn't uncommon in comic book shops. Having been a regular reader for years, I can confidently say there's a certain hipster element embedded in comic culture that lacks the self-awareness that the "better-than-you" attitude is a dime a dozen. I place my weekly pulls with Casablanca Comics, where the staff are not only enjoyable to talk with, but actually remember your name and want to help. This shouldn't discount the efforts of the other, surely more personable employees--nor at least a visit or two to check out their selection--but it definitely detracts from any kind of regular patronage.
