Guide
Treasure Box is a small craft shop and coffee stop on Main Street North in Rocky Harbour. Its craft business began in 1990, and the Newfoundland focus comes through in hand-knit sweaters, mitts, socks and hats, stained glass, framed prints, local books and music. If you’re after a locally rooted keepsake, give it a look; the craft selection is the main draw.
Start with the knitwear and stained glass: they’re the distinctive parts, with local prints, books and music if you want something tied to the region. Fish cakes and toutons come up repeatedly in visitor recommendations, but the current menu is unclear; check before making a meal the reason for your stop.
The business appears to have shifted toward craft and coffee, while older information still describes full meals. I’d treat this as a browse-and-coffee stop and confirm before making it the center of lunch plans. It’s on Main Street North, an easy stop while you’re in Rocky Harbour.
