While
visiting
Lubec
and
the
eastern
most
point
of
the
United
States
and
of
Maine,
at
West
Quoddy
Head
Lighthouse
for
vacation,
we
stopped
in
here
for
some
treats.
This
was
our
first
time
here.
What
a
gem
to
find
in
such
an
unsuspecting
place.
It
is
a
neatly
decorated
and
organized,
quaint
little
place,
packed
full
of
Peruvian
wonders.
The
offerings
here
are
handmade
chocolates
of
all
sorts,
jams,
jewelry
and
some
clothing
items.
We
even
found
a
children's
book
about
Maine
and
its
wildlife
that
we
saw
featured
on
a
hiking
trail
in
Southern
Maine
earlier
this
year
that
we
were
intending
to
buy
and
so
we
did.
We
were
looking
for
fudge
and
while
we
didn't
find
that,
everything
else
offered
here
appears
to
be
top
notch.
So
much
to
see
in
such
a
small
place
I'm
sure
we
didn't
see
it
all.
The
chocolates
are
excellent,
possibly
the
best
I've
ever
had.
So
many
choices
of
flavors
and
types.
A
new
flavor
item
displayed
was
the
strawberry
wine
truffle,
simply
elegant.
I
very
much
recommend
them.
While
all
of
that
is
overwhelming
enough
to
take
in
for
a
first
visit.
Perhaps
the
real
essence
of
this
place
that
makes
it
such
a
gem
is
Monica
herself.
When
we
first
walked
in
the
door
she
greated
us
warmly
and
asked
if
this
was
our
first
visit.
Having
answered
her
that
it
was
she
went
on
to
describe
and
explain
what
we
would
need
to
know
to
find
the
items
we
were
looking
for.
At
first
it
seemed
like
just
what
I
would
expect
from
a
small
shop
owner
operator,
but
then
her
charming
Peruvian
way
blasted
past
all
of
my
expectations
and
I
felt
more
like
I
was
visiting
a
specialty
store
that
was
actually
my
grandmother's
secret
passion.
We
weren't
even
looking
for
jam,
but
she
offered
a
sample
while
she
showed
us
in
the
adjoining
kitchen
area
where
she
explained
how
she
was
getting
ready
to
make
another
batch
and
what
it
is
made
from.
Just
incredible
the
passion
and
exuberant
character
of
this
woman.
She
is
a
genius
confectioner
and
marketer
of
her
wares
in
such
a
natural
and
charming
way.
I'm
sure
she
can't
offer
everyone
a
tour
of
the
kitchen
and
a
sample
of
the
goods
but
she
makes
it
seem
as
though
she
attempts
to
as
much
as
possible.
Like
the
statements
of
many
other
reviews
it
is
a
unique
find
of
a
shop
you
just
have
to
experience
it
for
yourself.
