Yum Yum Shop Coming Back !

tis · 11-18-2017, 08:51 AM

I just don't think the food was the same as it used to be. Maybe they bought pre packaged things, I don't know. I mostly bought a dozen cream filled donuts and honey corn bread and neither were as good when the kids took over. And most of the time I called ahead or they didn't have enough.

I agree it was not as good as it used to be but the kids loved going into the store and the offering were still good but just not as good

Any update on the planned reopoening of the Yum Yum Shop?

Spring 2018 will soon be here.

Haven't been in there in 20 years and do not get the comment about the Donuts tasting like bread.

Yes, they are going to the planning board for approvals to renovate the building.

Service was terrible! You aren’t going to make it in the Peak of summer with a line out the door and 5 people behind the counter and one person serving customers! Not going to happen. No organization whatsoever.
Hope they get some training now while it’s slow.
Portions were small on some of the items. Definitely a tourist trap but hey when you’re on vacation money doesn’t matter right?

tis · 06-12-2018, 06:08 PM

In the old days, there was always a line out the door. They did have more than one person waiting on customers though.

Went in today. Good service and best of all, they had honey cornbread! So happy

tis · 06-13-2018, 01:14 PM

I LOVE the honey corn bread!!!!

Visited the Yum Yum Shop this afternoon.

Plenty of help behind the counter and service was excellent. Gifford's ice cream being served and everyone enjoyed it. The cases were loaded with delicious looking baked goods. The blue/white interior decor is adorable with a small area to purchase Yum Yum Shop apparel and an indoor table area with a fabulous water view. A small seating area out back and a beautifully landscaped patio and seating area in front. Happy to see the Gingerbread man weathervane and the Yum Yum Shop bench remain

Boaters were docking and folks walking over. The Marriott "kids" have done a great job!

$6 for a loaf of bread. $2 each for turnovers & spice bars! It will have to be a short season. Local folks won’t pay those prices.

A decent loaf of bread at Market Basket is $4 and a crappy Dunkin donut is over a buck at this point--these prices don't seem all that far off.

It's true. Doughnuts are $18. a dozen which is 1.20 each. I have to agree with WH59 I think it will be more of a treat than a regular purchase for most.

FlyingScot · 06-16-2018, 09:18 AM

I think those prices sound good for a treat--less than a candy bar.

My parents live in York, Maine where the local fish shop drops its prices in the Winter. That seems both smart and fair, maybe Yum Yum will do the same.

tis · 06-16-2018, 03:23 PM

Certain doughnuts are less than 1.20 too.

$18 ÷ 12 = $1.50 per donut.

tis · 06-16-2018, 06:44 PM

You are right. So where did the $18.00 come from? Must be more than 1.20.
