20 Best Bakeries near Portsmouth

“Fine pastries made by chef Sharif and his team… great espresso with a French vibe all the way down to the bistro chairs and marble top tables situated in a picturesque cobblestone alley overhung by ivy and beautiful trees. Portsmouth’s greatest hidden gem that everyone seems to know about.“

“delicious.. great food. next time we are in the area we will be back“

“I never write reviews but this place is AMAZING! My mom & I stopped in for crepes, we had a sweet one and a savory one and also a tart and vanilla ice coffees. Everything was perfection and tasted great! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, the atmosphere very nice. This was the highlight of our trip we loved it so much and will definitely be returning! 🥰“

“This is a Portsmouth must!! Great ice cream and super friendly customer service, we had the peppermint stick ice cream and I recommend ordering it before it's gone!! We ordered it and took home a pint!“

“Update - 8:00PM March 8, gave the location another try and had a much better experience. The woman working was friendly and, though there was still a couple minute wait at the window (she looked to be in the middle of something), my coffee and sandwich came out right away. I drove away with a smile.Old - 8:00PM March 7, two brightly lit neon signs that say “Open,” the radio playing music inside, but here I am sitting at the drive through window for over 5 minutes and didn’t even see movement inside. No other customers as far as I could tell. Left without ordering.“

“The owner is one of the sweetest people I know. I was there on Saturday and bought cupcakes. The best cupcakes I've ever had!“

“Two Bees was such a delightful find! Everything about them was perfection. Walking into the cafe, the decor is lovely with a beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the river. The staff was so sweet and just lovely authentic people. But the offerings they had were simply divine. Their croissant was reminiscent of European quality, all their ingredients were fresh and tasty, but the best thing was their passion fruit tart- outstanding! Very highly recommend this place!“

“first try vegan, delicious 😋“

“We really liked Crumbl Cookies in Portsmouth, NH. The cookies were fresh out of the oven, small, cute, and absolutely delicious. On the other hand, the service is almost non-existent: everything is done via a machine, which is an accepted choice. This may surprise you or lack human warmth, but for the rest, the experience was great. An address to try for lovers of fresh and tasty cookies!“

“I called to get my father a treat for his 93rd birthday. Although they don’t do a retail shop, they agreed to provide one wee cupcake to make his daughter happy. There are such good people in this world! He shared it with me and the cupcake was ridiculous! Full disclosure? He ate all of the buttercream frosting first.🤣“

“I am beyond thrilled that I found Beach Pea Baking Co. The best bread in Southern Maine!“

“Great place to all kinds of breads with different flavours, we got Tomato bruschetta , olive bread , maple Banana walnut. Also filled with local products jams, sauces and mustards (btw are amazing) friendly staff that are very helpful and knowledgeable! It was a great experience that will bring me back for years to come.

“Best donut and cold brew I have EVER had!! The staff was also amazing, patient, nice and entertaining! Good music cute shop 🫶🏻 10/10 recommend!“

“The Olde Craft Bakery : My daughter had been gluten free for a long time. We purchased this bread at the beginning of the summer farmers market and continued to purchase it weekly. It is fermented which breaks down the gluten. Not only could she eat it and not have her belly hurt but it tastes amazing as well! The whole family is hooked on The Olde Craft Bakery bread. We’ve tried just about every bread they’ve offered - all delicious. Another plus, unlike processed breads, one slice is filling. The loaves freeze well too. Thank you For making delicious, healthy bread for my family!“

“Amazing food and coffee, superb staff!“

“Our nav was searching for the Starbucks but flew up it's, well, it didn't get us there. Fortunately, Aroma Joe's was across the street from the mythical Starbucks location.

We ordered a white chocolate mocha and chairs tea latte, and they were terrific. The service was friendly and stellar. Enjoy.“

“Yummy Desserts but ask if the Coffee is fresh if you go after 4pm“

“Until I moved here never heard of Aroma Joe's learned they are plentiful in Maine and their products are great but its their staff that makes it. Those folks are amazing and if you have never experienced the making of specialty drinks it is an art that requires patience and attention to detail in a fairly speedy manner and the young lady that waited on me is the perfect person for the job. She was EXCEPTIONAL. I will update this post to reflect her name she deserves a million 5 star reviews.“

“Loved our lunch yesterday (in the inviting and spacious bar room) of salmon burgers with side and bloody Mary's! Festive atmosphere and friendly staff. Will return for sure!“

“i just came through the drive thru at this location the lady at the window told me her name was maizy and she was phenomenal definitely deserves a raise i have never experienced this level of quality service at any other aroma joes location before my drink was delicious and she was nothing but sweet to me i complimented her on her service and she shared with me that someone had just left a bad review about her and i think that’s extremely preposterous this was by far my best aroma joes experince i have ever had whoever left that review on her has no idea what they are talking about!!“
