“It was a cold & windy walk home when i passed by Standard Baking Co and decided a hot coffe was needed. Of course, who could pass up a cookie or brownie to go along. I decided on the Raspberry Gallette and I am now addicted!!!! I either need to find an alternate route home...or add another 2 miles to walk off the extra calories! Thank you Standard Baking Co to finding the right the right reward for me keeping my new year resolution to add more activity to my day!“

crumble. I love the pink sugar. Thank you for making that No add it back to every week. Love your crumble.

Kid-friendliness: Mhm“

“Sara and her team are always on time, extra communicative, patient, and friendly! Reschedules sometimes happen due to sick kids and the weather, but she always gets us back on the schedule quickly. With kids and pets and an at-home business, Green Sweet is really a lifeline for us here.“

“I visited ZuBakery 4 times in a row while visiting Portland this week. This bakery places a strong emphasis on the quality of the dough and their efforts are well reflected in the wonderful texture of the bread and sweet smell of yeast.

The apple galette is phenomenal. The apples on top are beautifully caramelized and not soggy (!). The crust is the best part and it is perfect; light and crunchy, but yet retains its structure and texture.

I had their ham and cheese croissant and it is excellent. This is not a butter heavy (I am sure a lot of butter goes in here, but you know what I mean) croissant where everything is impossibly buttery. And no, this is a not an airpocket filled croissant (horror) with a rockhard (or) sad droopy shell.
The outer shell is light and crispy. The quality of the dough really shines in the inner layers of the croissant-- the flavor of the dough comes forward and it is so delightful. Ham and cheese are generously added, and they are of a good quality.

Currant scone.. wasn't my favorite. Too dry.

Challah (Fridays only) was very good. It is dense (as it should) and the texture is on point. Flavor-wise, it is not sweet at all. (Personally, I like slightly sweeter challah).

If I had more time in Portland, I would have tried out their fresh baguettes... maybe next time.

Lastly, what the other reviewers say is true. They sell out quickly.. within 30min of the bakery opening time, crowd favorites are gone.“

“Eighty-8 donuts catered a sweet breakfast the morning after our wedding at French’s Point in Stockton Springs, ME. Despite a cold November morning, they were absolutely amazing and our guests loved the hot and fresh mini donuts and coffee we sent them off with. They even had to-go boxes prepared so our friends and family could bring their favorite flavors home. This was the perfect way to end our wedding weekend! 10/10 would highly recommend their food truck for any event or large gathering, it was such a hit!“

“My favorite bakery! Every product is of the highest quality. Love the Danish, cinnamon buns. and the breads. And to top it all off, it is nestled in a small neighborhood.“

“We are so grateful we found this cute, family owned bakery! Ruby loved her 13th birthday cake, and it was absolutely delicious! Thank you for being so accommodating on such short notice.“

“Thanks so much for the delious bagels!! We really enjoyed them!“

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

“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!! 🙂“

“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!“

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

“Look at the gingerbread lasagna and it’s 10 out of 10!!!!“

“I went there today for the first time in a couple months and decided to grab a cheese danish like I always do, but today they had a chocolate chip danish and let me tell you it is delicious. It taste like you’re biting into cookie dough. I also grabbed a cinnamon roll of course for tomorrow morning highly recommend them everything I’ve gotten is good. Been going there for three years.“

“Great breakfast sandwiches, freshly made, bread was amazing. Great coffee and almond croissant was delicious. I highly recommend visiting this bake shop.“

“We visited Cape Whoopies on our first trip to Maine before moving here the following summer. Over the course of the last year, I've searched to find the best whoopie pies in Maine and keep coming back to Cape. We've sent them to relatives for birthdays and most recently shipped them back to TN for our stocking stuffers. Their shipping arrives as scheduled every time and in great condition (used this service 3 times to different states). The store clerks are always very friendly, and they remain the best whoopie pies in Maine so far!“

“Quite literally the best latte I’ve ever had in my life! 😍 Smoked maple rosemary latte“

“I was excited to try a new breakfast sandwich but unfortunately it was a letdown. I got the sausage egg and cheese which came on a bland biscuit-muffin hybrid that had a strange texture. The sausage and cheddar cheese didn’t have much flavor and the whole thing was overpowered by a sauce that tasted like Japanese mayo. The slight sweetness of the roll and sauce with the lack of any other flavor made it hard to finish. I also got a muffin which was fine. Looking at other reviews and realizing everything is gluten free makes a lot more sense now, so I won’t disparage the muffin. It’s cool that people who need that sort of thing have an option but it’s not for me.“

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

“Ordered a Peanut Butter pie for a coworkers birthday and it was one of the best pies I’ve ever ordered! Delicious and will definitely be ordering again! My office ate the whole thing within 3 hours of bringing it into the office. Thank you for the yummy pie!“

“We needed a cake for my daughter’s first birthday and cake Elizabeth was quickly recommended to us by a few different people! The customer service was above and beyond, with quick and efficient messaging and clear communication. For such a big moment in our family and our daughter’s life, we had big expectations for this cake and provided an inspiration picture of what we wanted. Cake Elizabeth exceeded every single one. Our guests at the party couldn’t stop talking about how amazing it looked AND tasted. I will definitely be doing business with Cake Elizabeth again. 10/10 experience“

“You were great to work with! Beautiful and delicious desserts! Thanks for helping to make my daughters day special!“

“What a fantastic and beautiful cake Joni made for my new business ribbon cutting. The decoration matched the theme perfectly, the cake had a perfect almond flavor and the fresh raspberry filling was mouthwatering. Can't recommend her bakery and services enough. Thank you for helping create a succesful event.“

“We ordered the whoopie pies for our wedding and they were amazing (and heart shaped!)! We had several guests who had celiac disease and several who had a gluten intolerance. B+B was perfect and I am so glad our GF guests had a cake option they could eat without worrying! It was absolutely delicious! All of our gluten free friends kept coming up to us to say how much they loved them! Thank you B+B!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Love this spot! Love the cheap grilled 🧀“

“Get the apple crisp!! It was so good!!! Also the sea salt caramel was delicious!! I highly recommend it! It is pretty crowded because it’s fairly popular, and customers can be pretty rude but it was still worth it!
