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 ❤️

Now open for dinner on Sundays! We loved everything about this place. Great atmosphere and really terrific and delicious food with lots of texture from 4 SF Bay Area food veterans. Their pedigree shows!

Bread and Friends provides an absolutely beautiful, thoughtful, and unique menu that you don't want to miss for dinner! Incredible value for a perfect meal.

Remarkable food prepared with mostly local ingredients, carefully put together with a wonderful variety of tastes and textures...they all work beautifully. Chef Jeremy is so talented and his craft...combining different ingredients that all come together to make a visually appealing and delicious meal.

After a week of disappointing meals at Portland's best restaurants (both old and new), dinner at Bread & Friends was a breath of fresh air.
From the moment we arrived, the excellent service and thoughtful decor set the tone. But it was the food that truly stole the show: every dish was inventive, bold, and bursting with flavor. The bread was some of the best sourdough I've eaten, on par with the top bakeries in San Francisco.
While the atmosphere is casual, the food is fine dining at its best. Huge kudos to the entire team at Bread & Friends for one of my most memorable meals this year. I am looking forward to stopping in every time I'm in Portland!

Our dinner was so amazing that we decided we had to try their breakfast the very next day! Both meals were delicious, complex, and incredibly fresh – Bread & Friends is a must-visit!

I really wanted to love this place but was underwhelmed. I got the soft scrambled eggs which were really not good. Husband got mocha, French toast, side of bacon. Side of bacon he compared to pork belly and couldn’t eat most of it. For seating, there were 3 party of 2s (ours included) so they wedged all of us at the same table. Breakfast was very pricey to not like most of it and to be bumping knees and elbows with strangers.
We went here for breakfast on a Tuesday morning at 9:30 and they were closed for breakfast. Huge disappointment.

Amazing cozy cafe with great food. We came around 8:30, were seated right away. Left around 9:30 and there was a line already. Great food, friendly servers. Highly recommend as a breakfast place (we only tried their breakfast)

Food is really good. We got there and there was a long line out the door. It was well worth the wait! Everything we had was fantastic.
