38 Best Bakeries near South Portland

“I had a Thanksgiving sandwich there the other day. Whole grain bread was good, the turkey was good, but the "stuffing" was cold. The sandwich was just NOT hot enough. The cranberry mayo is fair. It should have a scoop of warm actual cranberry sauce, not mayo. The stuffing detracted from the idea and taste of the sandwich. Incidentally, the prep and service were quick (too quick). Hey, maybe a pickle slice or two would be nice.“

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

“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.“

“I've been eating Standard Baking Co bread since I brought it back to NYC with me on Sunday (it's Wednesday now). I first had their bread at Fore Street Restaurant and just knew I had to stop by before leaving Portland. It was worth the wait. The pastries are incredible and the bread even better!“

“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 arrived about 15 minutes before opening on a Friday after reading that it gets busy, but there were only a handful of people in line. The upside was that everything came out fresh and still warm. The raisin croissant was my favorite and the pain au chocolat was excellent too. I’d happily come back.“

“I grabbed a few things from Norimoto Bakery and was pretty happy with everything. The baked goods were fresh, and you can tell they put some thought into the flavors. I liked that there were some different options instead of the usual basic bakery stuff. Everything looked really nice too, but still felt like a relaxed, local spot. The person helping me was friendly and the service was quick. Nothing over the top, just a good experience overall. I’ll probably come back next time I’m in the area and try something different.“

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

“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.“

“These things are absurdly good. I kept taking “just one more” until suddenly I was conducting a very serious investigation into how many donuts a responsible adult can eat before it reaches intervention status.

Fun flavors, fresh to order. Best donuts in Portland!“

“The customer service was great. All of the staff were very nice and funny and just made the place feel like a Great vibe also, Minecraft cookies just look good and I bet they’ll taste good when I try them but they did sadly run out of the Minecraft dirt block“

“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 !!!“

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

“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!“

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

“It was my first time here. Which is crazy because I don't live that far away. What a charming little bakery. I bought the lemon glazed ricotta cookies. They were a gift for a close friend who is Italian and she thought they were excellent. Will go back!“

“This is a great little place to stop if you want to stock up on snack foods and bread at very affordable pricing. Last stop by there I purchased some keto bread for $1.75 a loaf if you bought that at the bakery in the supermarkets it would be close to $7 a loaf.“

“Stopped in during a recent trip down to Portland and was blown away. When I walked in I was told about all of their goodies, allergen info, and extensive options by a woman who completely matched my energy and excitement :)
I left with way more goodies than I could eat in a week so I froze some. The bagels were out of this world!! As a former New Yorker, finding a gf bagel has been HARD until now. They froze really well and taste delicious. I got a variety of sweet treats and was not disappointed by any of them. We will be sure to stop in any time we're nearby or passing through.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Love this spot! Love the cheap grilled 🧀“

“Rarely do I leave a review, but this place is outstanding and definitely deserves the hype! So good we returned for a second time over the course of our long weekend stay. First of all, the vibes inside this cute little café are immaculate. All the staff were warm, inviting (both times we went) and very attentive to provide a great dining experience. But let’s get to the best part, which is truly the food (the Como se dice Bon Giorno sandwich to be specific). The English muffins are made in house, and you can tell the difference! They take their delicious baked staples and curate them for the holiday/season. Is it a little pricier? Sure but nothing unexpected for dining in the Portland area, and the quality most certainly justifies the price. I highly recommend and definitely plan to return on following trips, as this is our new staple for breakfast in the Portland area!“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“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!!“

“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 🇮🇹“

“I have been going to this location for years. The staff are always so friendly and nice. Recently I have been going and there is a girl working with long braids and she unfortunately is not friendly. I have never met an unfriendly girl at aromas until now. She may want to work at the Dunkin locations with the other rude employees.“
