23 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.“

“Stopped at Ceres Bakery on our way from Falmouth to Portland on the recommendation of a friend. My husband got the Roasted Turkey sandwich with garlic aioli and I ordered the Kale Salad as a wrap with added Tofu. Easy and quick to-go lunch. Bakery was cute, employees were friendly, food was good, bathroom was not great…“

“Excellent quick delivery, fresh croissants with egg and cheese“

“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.“

“10/10 always and tons of gf options!

Vegetarian options: they always have veggie breakfast pastries, bagels, muffins, vegan breakfast sandwiches, and yogurt parfaits.

Dietary restrictions: they are so good about celiac disease. i’ve never gotten sick there! entire salad bar is gf“

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

“Absolutely amazing food. I had been told to try it out for awhile, and I was so glad I did. I'd love to try more of the items they have because it was so good. Definitely worth a stop and yes it can be pricey but the taste more than makes up for it.“

“I cannot recommend Three Sisters enough! We hired them to make cake and cupcakes for our wedding and they were INCREDIBLE. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the dessert was. Not only were the cake and cupcakes delicious, they were gorgeous and totally matched the vision I had. Three Sister was super easy to work with as well. I am so happy we chose Three Sisters for our wedding!!!“

“Oh my goodness! Have now had 3 outstanding experiences with ASGB! Fresh, delicious, many choices, just excellent!! The peach cobbler was the perfect blend of flavors. Their apple pie is second to none. Their bourbon pecan pie was possible the best I have ever had! And there are not enough adjectives to describe how much my family and I loved the banana pudding we got for Thanksgiving! 5/5 would recommend.“

“Jon and his team are amazing! They did our wedding cake and cupcakes in October of 2023. The tasting was fantastic. Very reasonably priced and everything turned out exactly as we envisioned! Would recommend 10/10! He did a separate red velvet birthday cake for one of our guests.They also had gluten free and dairy free options which was great for a few of our guests.“

“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!“

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

“I go here almost every morning, and I don’t ever regret it. They always know my coffee, and my rush. They saw me go through a hard time and offered me a free drink, or two seriously the best team ever, not to mention the coffees pretty amazing as well!“

“This restaurant came highly recommended. So on the way home on our last day of vacation we decided to treat ourselves with a nice sitdown dinner. The place was practically empty so we're figuring everything is going to be great! Food came cold and my beer was warm. The server did remedy the situation but how hard is it to make sure food is hot when you have a nearly empty restaurant? I'm going to chalk this up as an off day. I may give them another try next year.“

“Amazing food and coffee, superb staff!“

“We tried the steak and cheese tonight and it is the BEST in Dover! Absolutely delicious! Great customer service too. Thank you!“

“The crew here is always so kind, they always brighten my day. I started coming here right after they opened! I pull up and they know my name, great me with a smile, and make sure I get what I need! Favorite aromas crew around. Thank you all for being so amazing.“

“This young man took my order and though he seemed slammed he had a positive attitude. He worked incredibly fast and I was in and out in time for my chiropractic appointment. The rush I received was well made and his attitude was incredibly positive. I came around 3:30 which at other locations seems to be a long wait time but he worked very effectively. I was overjoyed by his performance and when asked his name I learned my new favorite fast food worker was landon!“
