We came into the store while on vacation from Indiana and had the best experience. So much cool stuff that Tom was thrilled to tell us about. He wasn’t even “selling” us, he was just genuinely excited about the things in his shop. He was so friendly and helpful. I purchased a nice wallet and then 4 months later something happened to it that required a warranty exchange and he was happy to pull a copy of the receipt for me. I will definitely be back in next time I am in the area.

Ive been visiting and shopping at Simply Scandinavian for over twenty years. I believe I now own over five DALE Skiing Sweaters from Tom Grant who is a salt of the earth kinda guy. Impressive merchandise from all over Scandinavia. It makes you happy just walking into the store! If you are visiting Portland, Maine do not miss a visit to this store. And, their on-line service is impeccable.

Thomas is the best. Nothing simple about this store. Its layered with great finds.

I recently got the results of my DNA test and found that Im actually a percentage Swedish. My wife is a much larger percentage Norwegian. When we saw this store on a recent trip to Portland (Maine), we had to stop in and support them! Such an amazing selection of Scandinavian books, housewares, clothing, Moomin merch, food, and so much more! As if that wasnt enough, one of the owners (Tom) was behind the register. He was extremely kind and conversational. Whether you have Scandinavian blood or not, stop in, say hello, and Im sure youll find something you cant help but take home with you.

Had a great experience.

The folks at Simply Scandinavian provide the some of the best customer service that Ive experienced while shopping. Period. I love the merchandise in their store and with this level of customer service its an all round great experience! Thank you.

The cutest place with great service ! The owner along with the employees were very helpful and kind!

Fantastic experience. A beautiful store with great variety and quality products. Tom was very helpful and informative. I highly recommend shopping here!

This store was one of the shopping highlights of our visit to Portland. The merchandise is very high quality and we were able to pick up several bargains at nice prices. The owner provided answers to a lot of questions and offered to ship items to our home. When we returned, a very well packed box had already arrived with considerably more shipping costs than we paid. There was glass, paper, and fabric enclosed and all were separated so everything was in excellent condition upon receipt.Service like this is very rare these days and I hope stores like this one will be recognized for the gift they are.Thank you.Added 5/5/20 Just ordered some wonderful lingonberry items. Wonderful!! Fast shipment, high quality items and helpful guidance/ information from owner. Great place to shop, just one of the best.Thanks again.

My wife and I stopped in to browse and ended up buying a gorgeous Helly Hansen winter jacket! The owner was so helpful!We will definitely be coming back when we are in Portland, Maine to visit him and his lovely shopJulie e & Joexoxo

Awful service and employees. Thanks for sharing your political views to avoid your business and pass the information on to others!

We came here years ago after a trip to Iceland. The store manager (owner?) was super kind and helpful. We got to talk about Scandinavian culture and design, and were exposed to Helly Hanson before the brands big boom a couple of years ago.

This place is amazing. The merchandise is all great and beautiful genuine Scandinavian products, and the owner is incredibly friendly and helpful. When they didnt have my size/color in the boots that I wanted, he had them shipped to my house, no extra charge. I will definitely be a return customer next time Im in Portland.

Like a visit home to the best design shops of Scandinavia. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and well-curated selection of imported Nordic products, from clothing to tableware to seasonal decorations (Scandinavian Christmas, anyone?). Anyone who loves good design will love this shop, and you can pick up some cheese and herring and chocolate while you are there!

Great store with an owner that cares.

I love going in here to find candy and chocolate from my youth! Last time I was in I was looking for a specific chocolate and they took down notes to look for it for me 💕🇳🇴

Nice variety of items to browse and buy, even if you dont happen to be Scandinavian. ;-)

Lovely shop with interesting Scandinavian items. The owner is always very friendly.

Wonderful boutique with authentic scandinavian clothes, shoes, food and gifts.

Definitely an interesting place to shop around, the shop is beautiful.

Some decent products, but does not feel Scandinavian in the slightest.

Wonderful little shop of imports. Coffee, food, clothes, knick knacks, and home goods!

Super store, full of Scandinavian goodies. Best medicine for a homesick Finn. Great prices!
