40 Best Bakeries near South Portland

“Just had their chicken pot pie and it was just as delicious as it looks. The peanut butter smores blondie was to die for. The Bakery was neat, organized and clean. Lots of baker's working on a number of tasks. Prices are competitive. I will be ordering more from their menu. Ready made dinners and salads in the cooler also looked great. Full and fresh.“

“We used Cake Elizabeth for our wedding cake and desserts. Our cake turned out beautiful. Excellent desserts, and the team was very responsive and accommodating!“

“Their strawberry cheese tart might be the most delicious thing I have ever tasted in my 34 years of life. Just saying. 😮‍💨“

“Great sandwiches and Pizza! Peters Breakfast is the best in sopo!!! you will not be disappointed with the selection craft beers and wine“

“Super great Whoopi pies‼️‼️‼️❣️❣️“

“The BEST authentic Mexican food you can find this far north! Nothing else can come close! The tacos and huaraches are phenomenal! definitely will be back“

“There's quite a line for this tiny little place. And the lines are either for good food or convenience.
I am happy to say that this place is both. I reallly enjoyed it.
They clearly use good beans, and the drinks are made fresh.
What made this enjoyable was the absolute flavor of chocolate liqueur. It made this drive through latte feel sophisticated and well crafted.
If I lived nearby, I'd made my way through the menu.“

“I love this location and the staff. They are sooo sweet and friendly, they always know my go to rushes, either a blue Hawaiian or beach bum with extra pineapple. they make me smile all the time and I love seeing them bright and early before i go into work. One morning, one of them wrote "happy Saturday :)" and I didn't realize it until I drove off and the little things like that make it for me. I wish I knew her name😬 shout to her though!! Jill is also a sweetheart and I love the 10-15 sec convos we have. Thank you guys!! Love yall💛“

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

“Every item we tried at Standard Baking Co. was really good—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can see why it’s so popular. However, parking was limited, there wasn’t much room inside to stand and order, there’s no dine-in seating, no restrooms, and on busy days you may end up standing outside in the biting cold while waiting. Even so, the quality of the baked goods makes it worth the stop if you’re prepared for a grab-and-go experience.“

“One of my favorite croissants that I have eaten. Really delicious flavour and flaky exterior. The inside was chewy and things were good. The almond croissant was also amazing and different from others I have had. It was like a snail with almond paste. I enjoyed that it wasn't super sweet and heavy like the twice-baked almond croissants soaked in simple syrup that i am used to. The rustic loaf that I have been slowly working through is also amazing. When I am in Portland again I will certainly be returning to try other breads and pastry. The server was very helpful and friendly which made the whole experience pleasant. The smell of fresh bread and pastry inside the bakery is intoxicating.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“My kids love cooking club! They’ve made hand pies and cheesecakes! Top notch! My other children loved trying all the tasty treats baked with love by Abigail and Asher !!!“

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

“I ordered my so son’s first birthday smash cake here and couldn’t be happier with it! I asked if they could make it a golf ball and he said they would try, but weren’t sure they could do that (he said they’d make it golf theme if the ball wasn’t feasible and I was perfectly fine with that). They were able to make the golf ball and it came out better than I was hoping for! I was also blown away by how reasonable the cost was. Definitely recommend them for custom cakes!“

“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.“

“I had a dinner party to attend and needed to bring a dessert. Two people had dietary restrictions that were beyond my kitchen skills. Bam Bam Bakery to the rescue! They worked with me to deliver a knock- out Bundt cake that satisfied the restrictions. Everyone loved it. I highly recommend Bam Bam Bakery!“

“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!! 🙂“

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

“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!“

“As someone living gluten free, it's amazing to find a bakery like this nearby. I got a breakfast sandwich, a strawberry muffin, and a cinnamon bun...and all was spectacular. It's rare to be able to indulge in this range of high quality baked goods. Great if you're gluten free...but also just great stuff - check it out!

P.S. there are some photos from Baristas and Bites, this team's Portland location, which they relocated to Cape as b+b Bakery a few years ago. Don't be confused if it looks different in its current location in Cape Elizabeth.“

“Great place to work the boss is very nice very accommodating if you need to come in late. Very clean place to work miss amatos only con is it gets to hot!“

“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 ❤️“

“One of my favorite places to gather in Portland. Gotta love a business that cares about community and is so very tasty. It's always worth a visit.“

“Great food and service. Nice dining area.“

“The ice cream was delicious with many unique and tasty flavors!! The owner was very kind and friendly as well. I will definitely be back!!“

“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.“

“Good England muffins with peanut butter“

“…Yesterday-finally-my ladyfriend & I got our 1st 2 large Chicken Parm “bucket list” subs with melty Provolone: They have now since taken the pole position of bein our newest local favorites !!! D says the counter lady was super nice & hopes she got herself one made for din din 🇮🇹“

“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!“
