Love the home feel of this store. It has a little bit of everything; take time to look around. Roberta is a pleasant fixture!

Since moving to the Orono area, I've found myself here at least once a week - there's always something new & such an eclectic and fun variety of foods, gifts, and trinkets to look at. The coffee here is SPECTACULAR, too - seriously, you've got to try it, as it's some of the best in the area (especially when compared to nearby chain coffee shops.)

Unique store with an impressive collection of wines and other flavorful items in the heart of the most perfect Main St in Maine!

My granddaughter and now I enjoy going to this wonderful general store with a potpourri of offerings from coffee and cakes, to candy, to wine, to any handy items you might need at home! Love it there!!

The store had potential, it was pretty cute. but the lady was rude to me but not my bf (he’s white and I’m not… do with that information as you see fit) and the bananas on display were older than the building they were in… so many flies on the banana 🙅🏾‍♀️

A good selection of delicious items, but some are overpriced with no cheaper options.

This place has been my go-to place for coffee, wine and gifts since I moved to the area in 2013. From high school to graduate school Ampersand has always been such a comforting hometown spot that I highly recommend to anyone! The espresso drinks and pastries have my heart- SO GOOD! If you're thinking about going- do it! <3

This place has a super friendly and chill vibe. You can find a lot of great stuff -- organic and local food and gifts. Try the "everything" cookie. The coffee is always good, and they have Nitrobrew.

I love and appreciate this store and the owners/employees. They’re super friendly and easy going. Firstly, just want to say they make the best lattes around. The salty turtle nut latte warms my soul. They have a great selection of wine, gifts, cheese, homemade bread and pastries. Local jewelry, gifts, clothes, knickknacks, kitchen items, candy. The list goes on. The prices are fair and I always end up leaving with a bag full of stuff that I would have ended up going to hannaford for later.

Came here for the first time and ordered a nitro iced coffee. It rang up as $4.26. I pointed to the sign which said $3.50. The girl said the prices have increased to $4. I said you should update your sign then. She seemed perturbed but wouldn't honor the advertised price. I won't be back. I would've gotten a smaller size or nothing at all. This is clearly a store for yuppies and women.
