22 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! 🥰“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great place to get coffee to go or sweet treats. Some of the baked items are ordered in but I think they make the desserts. The drinks menu is huge and there are a lot of options for breakfast. The atmosphere inside wasn’t very relaxing. It was pretty dark and there were large boxes of supplies around. Not really the kind of place to work remotely or meet with clients but there are tables and a couch available.“

“This is our favorite bakery. I have been lucky enough to enjoy them even before the Dover location opened and will forever be devoted to their entire collection. They are the BEST!!“

“first try vegan, delicious 😋“

“We had Three Sisters Cake shop make our wedding cake a desserts, including cookies and whoopie pies. They were so amazing from start to finish- and everything was incredibly delicious. Their team was amazing. They worked within our budget, were super easy to communicate and make adjustments with. Our only regret is not ordering more whoopie pies because they were a hot commodity at our wedding!!

The hardest part of working with them was narrowing down what flavor cake and frosting to get. We loved Three Sisters and can't wait to go back and get treats for years to come! Thank you Holly and team!!“

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

“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!“

“Where do I begin?…I have been a customer for over 40 years. Their pork pies, maple rounds, maple cakes, rustic bread, chicken salad, etc…. My dear friend Robert, is visiting from Virginia for the month of June. We usually visit at least three times weekly. I fear we’ll starve now😔 Seriously, everyone here is wonderful, from the daughters to the servers and others. I feel like I’m saying goodbye to family. My son knows how much I love you and got me my last maple birthday cake last month. I savored every single bite 😋. I wish all of you health and happiness in your future endeavors. Dover will not be the same ❤️“

“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.

“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!“

“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“

“Amazing food and coffee, superb staff!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“
