5 Best Bakeries near Augusta

“There are so many reasons I love Sunrise. For starters, there’s the great food, but it’s so much more than that. This is a local business that seriously and genuinely invests in its community and THAT is why it will be here for a really long time. I’m convinced it will be a “generational business” that will be in the Central Maine business landscape for YEARS. The creative menu and excellent customer service are 2/3rds of the success - the community heart is the secret ingredient ❤️“

“Stopped in for lunch while passing through. Creative bagel choices (Fruity Pebbles, lemon bar, honey rosemary, to name a few). Great, patient service (so many chouces!). Super clean, great location! 😋“

“Been coming here through multiple owners for over a decade. I have it on speed dial. Bagel sandwiches with a rotating specialty bagel are my favorite, such as sourdough everything with HEC or, on occasion, Taylor ham, egg and cheese. Great food and friendly staff. The line moves pretty quick but calling ahead is the cheat code...“

“I live in Wichita Kansas. No one here knows what a Woopie pie is. I am from Mass and my niece sent me 1 dozen of these pies from Gardiner Me and she lives in Maine. I had two pies with milk. I am in heaven. They were great tasting. Recommend for everyone.“

“Traveling through Maine from Ohio. Saw Slates mentioned in a Maine tourist magazine. Met friends here and were totally impressed with the special menu. Our waiter, Michael, was the BEST. He shared with us the story of how the restaurant began and other interesting background information. The food was delicious. If we were going to be in the area longer we would definitely make it there again.“
