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.“

“I’m rarely blown away by baked goods but everything I got here was top notch. Best croissant I’ve had in a long time. Very buttery and fresh. Also got the morning bun with walnuts and will 1000% be going back. Super cute building with lots of outdoor space and a parking lot in front.“

“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!!“

“I ordered a carrot cake from Norimoto Bakery for my birthday, and it was absolutely incredible! The flavor was perfectly balanced, just the right amount of sweetness and it was moist and light. The frosting was also so light and delicious, it complemented the cake beautifully instead of overpowering it. You can really taste the care and exceptional baking skill in every bite. Thank you, Norimoto, for making my birthday extra special! Also just look at how beautifully the cake was decorated with flowers. Highly recommend to anyone who loves truly amazing baked goods.“

“Adorable vibes and the donuts were 11/10. Stopped with our kids and tried the cookies and cream. Possibly the best donuts I’ve ever had. They are mini and you have to order in packs of 6 with one flavor. I wish they did a flight so you can try different ones without committing to a few boxes. Cost is reasonable as well!“

“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 �“

“We’ve been to this location and their other Portland location and both are delightful. The staff is always friendly and welcoming and the pastries are drool-worthy 🤤 We live around the corner from here so picking up and taking away is convenient and easy. The hardest part is narrowing down which pastries to take home! Let’s just say for my husband and I we always end up selecting 4-5 because they rotate flavors and we never want to miss out. (We love when family or friends are visiting so we don’t feel guilty getting more parties to try 😄) The almond croissant here is the best in town, but their rotating bostock and danish have become my favorites.“

“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!! 🙂“

“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!“

“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 🍫😳🤤❤️🏃‍♀️“

“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!“

“Love this spot! Love the cheap grilled 🧀“

“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.“

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

“A small little shop in the middle of Portland with a Big Twist, some of the best Ice cream cookies you'll ever eat, it's the Ice cream cake version of whoopie pies, a State Staple! I got the Maine Black bear flavor in the cookie sandwich, spot on delish! And the crew was Awsome !“

“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.“

“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!“
