Lubec Maine is the last place one look for chocolate - so it's a novel idea. Monica is a wonderful ebullient person with a very good marketing plan and she knows how to provide sparkle in an otherwise low key area. Tourists missing the bling of the big city would really enjoy this. But you may be somewhat disappointed if... More

Great chocolate, made in her shop. Spotless facility. Oh those truffles! One bite and you will forget the cost. And she mail orders too! Monica is a great hostess and greets newcomers with samples. Some of the selections have her homemade carmel centers and are delightful. She has great little gift packages to take home and give as gifts. While... More

I was visiting "down east" Maine and was looking for edible souveneirs. By happenstance (I was looking at a Chamber of Commerce type map of Lubec, Maine), I came across Monica's Chocolates -- her shop surprisingly is in what looks to be her house. When I entered, Monica (a very lovely Peruvian lady), asked if I had visited before. When... More

I love chocolate so was both intrigued and somewhat skeptical when I read the rave reviews of Monica’s Chocolates – could this candy really be that superior to other high-quality chocolate I’ve had before? The answer is a resounding YES! Monica enthusiastically greeted us at the door and handed us napkins; she returned a minute later with samples of her... More

Stopped an Monica's and she is one delightful lady. The presentation and atmosphere is very top notch and quite classy. The candies and gifts are excellent. She also has a eating area that appeared very nice (we did not have lunch). She took me to the basement and I watched while she made some chocolate. The only complaint is she... More

Stopped here upon recommendation of the owner of the Eastland Motel in Lubec. Glad we did. We bought a couple of the little candy bars made with white-chocolate and peanuts and vanilla, and they were excellent! Our child had a chocolate lobster on a stick, and a chocolate starfish, cute for kids and delicious ! This is a rare find... More

Maine may not currently be known for its chocolate but that may change if enough people eat Monica's. OMG, these are good. Very sophisticated. Very delicious.

Monicas Chocolates is tucked away in Lubec Maine, near the bridge to Canada, where she makes amazing hand crafted chocolates. My wife went in to get a sampling of truffles to taste and when she came back the car we dove in and started to enjoy. About a minute later Monica came out of the store to see how we... More

We were in Lubec for several weeks, and made several stops at Monica's for chocolates. I would especially recommend the white chocolate blueberry clusters. They are perfect to take home and brew up a cup of blueberry coffee with. We also had to purchase hand made jewlery and sea glass.

We are from Virginia and two people in our hometown recommended this place. Monica is from Peru and makes all her chocolates on site - some with special Peruvian fillings. She greets you at the door and offers generous samples. We bought 3 times as many choclates as we had planned because they were so good. A must stop if... More
