20 Best Bakeries in Portland

“I expected great coffee and got it, but the biscuits and scones were delicious- even better than my own homemade.“

“Standard Baking Co. is a little gem in Portland 💛

From the moment you enter, the smell of freshly baked bread already wins you. Everything looks incredible, but the financier was something else... crispy on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside, with that almond flavor that leaves you in shock 😍
You can tell that they do everything with love and quality. The place has a calm vibe, perfect for a coffee and something sweet.
I would definitely come back just for that financier 🥹🔥“

“Norimoto is one Portland’s hidden gems! Everything is made from scratch and with lots of love!
If you love Japanese food and/or extraordinary baked goods, look no further! Sweet savory you can’t choose a wrong thing off the menu. Super sweet staff and really special cuisine.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of GF baked goods!“

“Love this spot! Love the cheap grilled 🧀“

“Awesome breakfast sandwiches! By far the best breakfast I had in New England. A true Portland hidden gem.“

“Tiny bakery on Clark St near Danforth. Divine croissants! Choc croissant best in world! My fav breads are Rustic, Buckwheat, 60% Wheat.
Love love love candied orange brioche rolls sliced with cheese spread, cream cheese, butter, marmalade or apricot jam! Always find a parking spot but might have to walk a couple blocks! Well worth it!!“

“So, I'll say, Wowww, as I lick my fingers after my last three mini donuts from heaven! We found 88 donut after finishing at Highrollers around the corner and made another stop the next day before returning to Boston. Bite-sized, hot, made to order and a complete party in your mouth. These can be addictive 😍
I live in DC and looked to see if they shipped :) but they don't. Check them out if you're in the area.“

“Honestly, such a variety of tasty breads, delish pastries too, amazing!! The prices make me feel like I want to come back again and again....yes, indeed. A gem in the heart of Portland ME!! 🙂“

“The espresso cheesecake and their chocolate turtles are exquisite!“

“SO GOOD! Great service and some of the best croissants I’ve ever had. Perfectly flaky �“

“Amazing cakes! This was my first time ordering from Two Fat Cats. I ordered a chocolate chocolate cake for my son’s birthday and everyone was really impressed! Flavorful and perfectly sweet (but not too sweet) frosting and dense, melt in your mouth cake. Highly recommend!“

“Do NOT question what a whoopie ball is… just go get yourself one… or many!! It’s whoopie pie meets chocolate candy goodness. Do not walk here…. RUN here 🍫😳🤤❤️🏃‍♀️“

“Delicious caramel pecan praline bun: multi-textured and not too heavy, despite the ample size. Great customer service to boot, super friendly! Perfect treat after walking the back cove! And supporting a great cause— win, win!“

“It's a small store, so there's a limited selection, but year-old baked goods are very cheap (99 cents per loaf for break). There are other specials (Little Debby snack cakes right now) and a few non-bakery products like jelly, soup mix, etc. Pretty conveniently located on Warren Ave. Limited paeking.“

“Love coming here for coffee and pastries with my friends. Now they send me photos of them going by themselves or with their loved ones 😌 Onggi makes Portland a better place!“

“My husband, MIL, and myself were visiting Maine all the way from NC and came here TWICE during our visit. First was brunch, then dinner. Both meals were exceptional. Our waitress(I wish I could remember her name, but she has long, red hair), gave the best service I have ever experienced in my life! This will definitely be a spot we must visit everytime we come up ❤️“

“Great food and service. Nice dining area.“

“We just had the best falafel wraps here, better than any we've had in the greater Portland area! Delicious and a great price! We'll be back for sure, and will try their homemade hummus, naan, and some of the dishes in the cooler on your way in.“

“After walking around for more than an hour, this was a perfect spot to get some delicious ice cream. This is a beautiful small store, with some space to sit inside the store. In the other corner they have some store swags for sale.

They had about 20 flavors in the menu. Three different cup sizes were available. The price was very generous, small for only $5.40. We picked the vanilla ice cream with m&m topping. Our whole family loved the flavor and texture of the ice cream. It was dense and really creamy. No icy patch in the middle.

There were two teenagers at the register. Both were very attentive and gave everyone a friendly service. Lots of people outside the store were hanging out and eating the ice they got from the store.“

“My 4 star on atmosphere is simply because this location is non-stop busy. That is not remotely anything the staff can change. Tip on food...when ordering food and beverage, make the food requests first, the food comes out usually faster. As for the staff, I think they're awesome. 90% of the time they are awesome - depsite having a job where you stand all day and there is a constant stream of requests! Sure there may be a surly one every once and awhile...but just take a moment to let them know you're glad they're there and they do a complete 360 flip. And...the dog treats are a huge bonus!“
