I went here last year on vacation and went again this year. It's fun to explore this cute little shop. You always find such cool things tucked here or there. My husband gets a kick out of the chairs outside labeled 'Husband Chair' lolPublic restrooms are right around the corner where the people from the town do a nice job keeping up with flowers.The woman at the register was also very pleasant and nice.I will be back in ME in September and I will stop here again to see what else they have for the Fall.

We love shopping here every year. We have such a great time looking at the great selection of items. Prices are very reasonable. We always go home with a trinket or tooOne of our favorites to shop when we are in town

I stopped into many shops in Belfast, and most of them had very good souvenirs and trinkets. But the Purple Baboon was my absolute favorite. They have a little bit of everything. I chose some postcards and stickers, and I might return for a t-shirt. There are so many things in the store, and I love that. So much to see and choose from. They said some of the trinkets were from local artists, too. Being from out of state, the workers told me some facts about Maine and the town. If you are in Belfast, you must visit this place. It was a fun experience, and I'm glad I picked up some items to remember my time in Maine.

We stopped here after being in Bar Harbor looking for Maine souvenirs and so glad we stopped. Cute little shop with alot of unique items. We all found either a t-shirt or sweatshirt. The gal working was very friendly and helpful!

Super cute store if you’re a tourist visiting. Gifts, jewelry and clothing. Lots of local hand made items. I did find all the items to be a bit pricey, but again it is a tourist town gift shop. Also, their clothes is mostly smaller sizes. But bonus points for being LGBTQ-friendly!

We really love this place and have gotten very many treasures! They are dog friendly as well and offer treats. I have to note that we went in on Monday and met with the most unfriendly and unwelcoming young lady. We were so disappointed as we have always met with the kindest. Kindness matters and we will be back but thought it was important for management to know.

Nice variety and very reasonable pricing on local souvenirs. Nice jewelry and many Christmas ornaments. Sweetest lady ever waited on me. we had a nice conversation & she told me that she and her husband had relocated there from New Jersey. I told her I was disappointed that we had not found a place to have lobster for lunch and she went out of her way to find a restaurant nearby for me that was open and serving lobster for lunch. She made my day <3. I would definitely shop here again.

Rude sign in the front of the store requiring masks. I refuse to shop anywhere with uniform requirements. From looking in the window is just a bunch of knick knacks made in China the same stuff you can get in most other gift shops in Maine. I will take my money there.

One of the truly considerate shops that has a nice chair our front for the "Bored Husband"! I wasn't bored, but my tired feet sure appreciated a place to wait while the shopping happened at leisure inside!
