“Cute shop ! Yummy dessert! It leaves a light feeling and it’s so yummy ! It’s a must try ! I will definitely return !“

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

“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!“

“The chef being a James Beard award winner brought us here while visiting Portland. We ordered two of our favorite
breakfast items - an egg sandwich & a cinnamon roll. Both were phenomenal and probably some of the best food we ate while in town. Do not miss this place!“

“Crumbl cookie is so good sometimes but sometimes it’s too sweet and sometimes the cookies just don’t taste right and
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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The croissants are amazing here. Worth every penny. And the strawberry rhubarb pastry was delicious. The cold brew wasn’t anything spectacular but it was better than what you’d get at places like Dunkin’. The chai latte was overpriced and very watery so that was disappointing. Parking is also ridiculous so that is a pain. If the drinks were better and it was less crowded it would get a 5 star. I would come back again though.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is not wheelchair friendly at all. Very steep steps“

“My wife and I had been to this bakery once before and it was not a great experience. We decided to give it a second chance and we were pleasantly surprised. They had changed the way you ordered and that changed the whole experience. The new way to order is very organized and the staff, this time, were much more pleasant. We tried some different sweets and breads and they all were very tasty. As we are frequently in the Portland area this will become one of our regular stops.“

“Great bread, and bagels. Simple yet amazing breakfast sandwiches, and the pastries are to die for! Great prices as well. The shop smells amazing, absolutely love
the atmosphere and the staff as well.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs little bump on doorway in!“

“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 ladies who own this bakery are wonderful, and they make delicious blueberry coffee cake! please go and support their small business!“

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

“Fantastic place to work, read, or just for family/friend meet-ups!“

“If you are anywhere near Kelly's don't pass up the opportunity for a great lunch. Stopped in yesterday and can't say enough about the great food and bakery items. My wife, grown daughter and myself all got different lunch items and all were fantastic. Also picked up desert items to go....sooooo delicious! Kelly and her staff couldn't have been more friendly, helpful, and timely. You don't want to miss this one!“

“Wanted a special cake for my daughter first birthday and am so pleased with the results! The cake is super cute and perfect for her party! Jessica was great to work with and even did a drop off which was incredibly helpful.“

“Amazing breakfast!! And the staff was quick and attentive!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Very cute little queer friendly and affirming coffee shop/eatery/diner in Portland! We stopped in while in town visiting for some caffeination. These had to be one of the most perfectly made lattes we've ever had. Milk properly steamed to perfection, without any sweetener it wasn't the least bit bitter and had the best flavor ever. Service was extremely welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere, even just while waiting to get our drinks, was very cute. We'll definitely be stopping back in when we are in the are.

Parking: Street parking only and it looked in short supply, however, we got lucky and got an open spot right in front of the shop.“

“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!“

“Hands down best cake business in greater Portland area! Cakes are always amazing, taste delicious (so many flavors to choose from!!) and very easy to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone!“

“This place is nuts. Their retail selection is perfectly curated, and everything they do is obviously with intention. I just had an iced coffee with a black sesame cold foam that made me *weep* tears of joy. If you’re visiting Portland or lucky enough to live here, this is a must see.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“This was my favorite place to visit on our trip to Maine. When you walk in the door your olfactory senses are immediately satisfied and had me searching for a way to bottle up the smell and take it with me forever. The Whoopie Pies, Chocolate Dipped Whoopie Balls, Cookie Dough Balls and everything else was delicious. The owner was so nice and visited with us about our other trip destinations and even gave us a lunch recommendation for Alisson's Restaurant, which was also a very yummy place! Thank you!“

“In town for a short trip, stopped in for a quick drink, and immediately loved the vibe. We took our time exploring the space. Very cool. Vinyl spinning on the turntable, vintage maps displayed throughout. Very unique and thoughtfully decorated venue.“

“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!

Parking: Free After 5 pm“
