20 Best Bakeries near Portsmouth

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!“

“Gabby was the most phenomenal and kind worker. She was so sweet and had an amazing customer-service attitude. She made our day and was such a positive and funny person. We look forward to coming back and seeing Gabby again! She deserves a raise ASAP!“

“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!“

“I recently tried Crumbl Cookies, and they were really good! The cookies were soft, thick, and full of flavor. I liked that they have different flavors every week, so there’s always something new to try. The cookies are pretty big, which makes them great for sharing. They can be a little expensive, but the taste and quality make them worth it. Overall, I would recommend Crumbl Cookies to anyone who loves sweet treats.“

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

I ordered a gender reveal cake over the phone for my best friend who lives locally (I do not) and she squeezed me in even though they were swamped and had it done within an hour and it was the most gorgeous cake I’d ever seen. And such a special moment for my friend that we will all cherish forever. Thank you doesn’t even begin to cover it!“

“We got our first loaf of this bread yesterday from tender crop farm. The man who was advertising this bread was very informative and helpful when we picked our perfect loaf. He was very proud of this company and his wife! He spoke so highly of her and was excited to show off her picture on the top of the bread shelf. Today we grilled the bread, my daughter had hers with Nutella and i had mine with eggs over easy. DELICIOUS. 10/10 recommend. We will try sour dough next!“

“Amazing food and coffee, superb staff!“

“⭐ Review for Aroma Joe’s – Shout-Out to Ria ⭐

I just drove through Aroma Joe’s with my two dogs, and I had the nicest experience with a girl named Ria. She was professional, kind, and so sweet with my dogs — she even gave them a pup treat with whipped cream and a biscuit. They never eat that kind of thing, but they absolutely loved it!

We talked for a minute about her future, and she shared that she wants to be a cosmetologist someday. It is so inspiring to see a 16-year-old with that much direction, confidence, and genuine kindness.

Ria, keep up the good work — you’re going places. I can already tell.✨

Hope to see you again soon!

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

“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 come to this location at least once a week, service is always good. I came tonight and I just want to say I appreciate the young lady who was working. My mom was going into a 12 hour hospital shift and wanted a frojoe. The worker said the blender was washed for the night ( 2.5 hours before they closed) so we couldn’t get one. I was gonna just order something else, but my mom kinda had an attitude and requested her to dirty the blender and make a frojoe anyway. She obliged, and I want to say thank you, and sorry on my moms behalf :)“
