Bam Bam’s is amazing! We drive from Hampton NH to Portland to stock up on their Honey Oat bread. It makes the best toast you’ve ever tasted! My husband has a gluten intolerance and we’ve tried all the different brand’s the stores offer. Some are okay, some are awful/tasteless. It is worth the drive. We buy 7 or 8 loaves at a time, slice them and freeze them. While we’re there, we also indulge in their many amazing pastries! My absolute favorite are the lemon squares, best you’ve ever tasted! My husband’s favorite are the whoopie pies, also amazing! Whether you can only eat gluten free or not, it doesn’t matter. Still the best bakery!

Bam Bam is a great bakery-even if you don't have issues with gluten! Our family does have dietary restrictions due to being vegan and gluten free but the cakes and pastries are delicious and you'd never know they were- in some cases- both dairy and gluten free. Tina and her crew go above and beyond in their commitment to high quality, flavorful ingredients. I highly recommend you give Bam Bam a try. You won't regret it!Signed: Paul Lipman

April 8th 2022, I called to order a cake. I had called for about 2 hours on and off with no luck so I decided to go in-person on my work break. I got there and realized it was only one gal working so I can understand not getting to the phone. In today's world, it is very understandable. I met with the gal and explained what I was looking for. She took my order and said I'd be able to pick up my birthday cake for Sunday, April 10th. It was my mom's 60th birthday so I wanted to get something she could enjoy, as well as other family members with a food allergy. My other half went to pick up the cake and she was still frosting it Sunday morning. She did a flash freeze and said it would be OK for travel. 2 hours after driving and bringing the cake inside, open to box to find the cake had split in the middle and came apart in 3 ways on the top and basically melted off the middle layer of frosting. I was heartbroken. I wanted to surprise my mom and it was ruined. There was way more frosting than there was cake. The cake molded from the inside within 7 days. I was honestly shocked how fast it molded. I had also ordered some cookies and macaroons and the macarons were not fully cooked. Not sure if I'd be going back again. When they were on commercial street, never had any issues like this. Tried to call to talk to the owner but now they are temporarily closed, so I'll leave my review here.

First time in! Anyone looking for a gluten free treat and hasn’t found this place is missing out. The owner is so nice and has worked so hard. I’m not gluten free but everything I had was delicious.

I love bam bam. If no one else appreciate them I do! Why because they restored confidence in eating deliciously made items for a balance of gluten and dairy free which I AM..I have choices lots of them!.. never disappointed.. believe me when I said I HAVE followed them around! And will do it again!!! All the way from MASS!!!!!

Got an apple and pumpkin for Thanksgiving, and I would be lying if I said I enjoyed them. Some people may like their pies, but the crust was too thick and dry, the apple pie was lacking any sort of filling. The pumpkin filling was not sweet in any way, and just disappointing. I appreciate the effort, but I wouldn't buy a pie from here again.

We picked up some desserts from their new production space for an event last weekend. We got an assortment of cookies/brownies and people didn't know they were gluten free until we told them. Would definitely recommend/will be going back.

Great vegan variety! Everything was very tasty and the staff was kind.I tried the pop tart and the chocolate cookie covered in powdered sugar.

I'm sure they are an amazing Bakery, but I called today to order a cake for my daughters first birthday. Person on the phone was very rude when she informed me they weren't making cakes for a while starting tomorrow and then she promptly hung up the phone. Very rude. I'm shocked to have that kind of service.

They made a delicious and beautiful cake for my husband’s birthday. I was able to place the order by phone and it was ready at the scheduled time. Thanks Bam Bam Bakery!

If you don’t get the item that you actually ordered, don’t expect them to go good for it.. or to even apologize.. After being a regular for the past year, I am very disappointed...
Best place on earth. I hope they reopen soon
