Beach Pea Baking Co

5 years ago

The staff was incredibly friendly! They were out of a lot of stuff that we wanted to try ( bialys, cornbread) and they weren't doing sandwiches due to staffing issues, but none the less- I got a ham and cheese croissant. The actual croissant was delicious but it was extremely under-filled and cold. My man wanted the applesauce oat cookie- they forgot to give it to us we went back and they gave us a oatmeal raisin instead. We are all human and it was a simple mistake, but so disappointing. I mean do people actually enjoy eating a oatmeal raisin cookie?!? ( jk lol) We also got 2 loaves of bread which were good. Overall, I would give This place another shot! read more

This place was fabulous! The parking lot was packed & we expected a long wait for our sandwiches, but they were pleasant & speedy - with the sandwiches & my latte & the cookies (huge & delicious). The shop area is cute & cozy - we sat outside at the picnic tables overlooking the marsh & spotted a blue heron in the trees. We'll definitely stop again in our travels. read more

Oh I adore this little place! Not only their bakery selection is absolutely exceptional but the cake! Oh the cake is heavenly. I ate the cake too fast, I didn't even have a chance to take a picture of it!

Visited on a Tuesday at 9:45 AM, parking lot was basically full which is a good sign. I came in to buy a sandwich which they don't make until 10:30, but the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful with suggestions. Luckily for me they have pre-made sandwiches in the fridge, along with chicken salad and other items. I went to also purchase a bread and the staff informed me they're known for their fougasse which is flavored with rosemary and salt. I wish I lived closer because I'd go back more often. Staff was 11/10. Definitely recommend checking out if nearby read more

If it wasn't so good, we would have taken pictures first! Small, quaint, smells unbelievable when you walk in the door. The Beach Pea, Baking Company is just that all kinds of breads, pastries, desserts, cookies, all looking beautifully inviting. We went for lunch. I had their tuna sandwich on there French means white bread, which came with beautifully sliced beef, steak, tomatoes, and perfectly green lettuce, very little mayo and little celery a little pepper perfect. My sister had the chicken curry sandwich with sliced avocado, tomato, lettuce, and onion. She said it was spectacular. They also have a cooler with meals to go in it. They all looked pretty good. I would not hesitate to stop bye hungry or not. You will end up eating something when you get inside. Delicious. read more

Cute atmosphere of the place, but they didn't have the option to "build your own sandwich" as advertised on their website available, so I had to modify something on their menu to fit my dietary restrictions. The girl looked at me puzzled, I mean it's 2022 are we really shocked by people with dietary issues? I'm used to it but it was a bit more difficult here as there was nothing that was on the more plain side. I had the #2, but I can't eat certain things on the sandwich so I just asked for the turkey , avocado and regular mayo and left the rest off. Seeing as I left off several of the items on the sandwich, I would've hoped that they added more turkey to fill out the sandwich more and it was practically all bread. My spouse had the #4 which he stated was good, but he was annoyed that his sandwich was also small for the price (and his was not modified). $30 for two sandwiches & two iced teas. The bread was very tough and chewy on both of our sandwiches. I wouldn't have minded the price tag if the sandwiches were more robust. Took of one star for small overpriced sandwiches & one star for the tough to eat bread. read more

There is no better place than this one in the Kittery area. The croissants are perfect. The cappuccinos and coffee are perfect. The egg wraps are delicious. The service fast and pleasant. The outside sitting area charming. I was there on vacation for a week, tried most other places listed for breakfast but they all paled in comparison. The only area for improvement, as far as my palate goes, is that I wish the lemon bars to be more lemony and the crust more buttery. But overall, Great job, everyone at Beach Pea! read more

This is one of the best bakeries in New England. It is my gold standard. I have been getting breads and pastries here for years, and all of my birthday cakes for family. Coffee is out of this world. Highly recommend breakfast or lunch here. They have amazing salads and sandwiches if you want to picnic. Staff is so, so lovely. One time the credit card machine wasn't working and they pulled out the old fashion press and got it sorted out for everyone.

Upon entry, it can be a little confusing where you should stand in line to place orders due to so many people in multiple locations. We were there around 9:30am and I'm assuming it's mainly a time when people get coffee only. We were taken back by the reaction when we asked for a loaf of French Country bread. After being rushed to look around in multiple locations, I finally asked if they had a particular dessert. To which the response was in a rather rude type "of course" manner. I still didn't see them, but I found the sign for them. The desserts were pushed out of public view. In any case, we asked for a couple other things, but the experience with the staff made it unpleasant. You cannot order anything from the kitchen until 10:30am. The bread was fresh. The desserts were ok. I wouldn't buy the desserts, again. The experience and the desserts does not entice me to go back, though. read more

Stopped in just before lunch was being served and was still able to get two non-breakfast items to go, as I was on the road for the day. I needed one for lunch and the other for supper. They graciously accommodated my request to have the second sandwich disassembled so that nothing would be soggy. The roasted vegetable sandwich was amazing! I also had the chicken curry sandwich for supper and I have to admit that I snacked on it throughout the day. Huge portions! read more

One of my favorite places in the southern Maine / NH sea coast area. A friend introduced me to this bakery a few years back, and it has become my go to place whenever I am back in the area. 1) The pastry is delicious! My favorite is the German Chocolate Bar. Their almond cake with raspberry frosting is delicious (I wish they would share the recipe/had published it in their cookbook). The compost cookie is pretty good too. 2) Their food is incredible too. The Cobb salad is the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked bacon, and an amazing ranch dressing. You can't go wrong with their sandwiches either though - turkey and avocado on fresh baguette - YUM! I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. read more

I went to Beach Pea with two people for what we hoped would be a nice relaxing lunch. as we've all been there in the past. Two of us ordered sandwiches which contained chicken, the other person had a salad w/o any meats. My friend and I (both had sandwiches) ended up with food poisoning; she had to go to the Emergency Room at Portsmouth Hospital at 2 am because she was so ill. I struggled ALL weekend and was deathly ill too. Today, after finding out my lunch companion was so I'll and had food poisoning confirmed by the hospital, I called Beach Pea and politely asked to speak to the manager. I was to she wasn't available or she was too busy to take the call. I explained to the person who answered the phone the serious nature of my call. She told me to go to there website and lookup their email address and send an email. She was able to provide the email address to me or the manager's name. I did inform her that I will also notify the Kittery Board of Health as this is a serious public health issue. read more

Their cake ordering system is odd. You don't actually special order a cake - meaning I wanted to order this one cake and the lady over the phone had to check that was what they were making for that week. So it's more like you're putting a cake on hold. They alternate between the lemon and something else. I ordered a cake here several times. Mostly a home run- one time it was so terrible I threw out the 8 inch and wanted to call this place quits. The 6 layer lemon with raspberry preserves was literally hard as a rock. Sadly, that was a wasted $45+ I've had other cakes that were very delicious. But this place rubs me the wrong way. I never actually get the cake I want, ever because of their rotating schedule. It's frustrating to say the least. Their $3+ for a cupcake would have been fine if it was rich and decadent like a cupcake should be. But it wasn't at all. Seriously though, I go for the fougasse. That is gluten crack. read more

The good reviews brought us to Beach Pea Baking Co. while we were passing through town. We were on the go so we called in our order for curbside. They said it would only be 10 minutes--SWEET! Upon arriving, we saw a long line outside so we hopped in line to get our order as there were no other directions on how to get our order. Making a decision on the sandwiches we wanted was hard; as they all looked/sounded to good. We had the curry chicken and tomato and mozzarella sandwiches. They were tasty just not as fresh as we would have hoped they would be given the reviews. I was a bit bummed to find our sandwiches were prepackaged. I understand they're busy, but I wish I knew before ordering that they weren't going to be made on the spot. read more

We love trying chef's own creative creations and this is exactly what we found her at Lexie's. We both ordered the Cucumber Mint Lemonade to start which were perfectly delicious for the hot weather that I'm not used too! We both ordered the Green Lantern Beanie - Vegetarian that was recommended to us when we couldn't choose. They were delicious and I will definitely get it again. My DH also got the French Fries which were Hot & Fresh but not for my mandatory low sodium, however the Green Lantern met! We usually don't get the same item so we can each try out something new - yes, just like Michael J Fox in Family Ties! We laughed when we saw that episode! Our server AM S and all the others were great! The restaurant and rest room were very clean! It was amazing the countless to go orders constantly being picked up while we were there!

I found them on Yelp, and highly rated, so that was enough for me !! Not a huge menu, but we easily found what we wanted. The burgers were on the slightly smallish side (compared to others I've had), but they were delicious, and with the accompanying fries for me and onion rings for him, we certainly didn't walk away hungry. The "classic" burgers that we ordered were well represented with the ingredients we like (beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle with some "hush" sauce - essentially thousand island dressing). We loved every bite !! We'd return here in a heartbeat, so if ever we're up in that area, we'll be getting those burgers again. Yummm.

The service was very good, our bartender was attentive throughout our dining experience. The food was amazing and came out pretty quickly.

We randomly picked Beach Pea Bakery because we needed something quick to eat on our way home, and it turned out to be such a great find. Even though it was pretty busy, the service at the to‑go counter was really fast and efficient, which made it perfect for grabbing delicious food on the road. This place is a charming artisan bakery and deli with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to linger. We ordered sandwiches, blueberry lemon scones, chocolate‑dipped macaroons, raspberry‑frosted brownies, chocolate tiramisu cream puffs, and even grabbed a baguette for the road. Every single item was incredible--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The sandwiches were delicious, and all of the baked goods tasted just as good as they looked. Inside, the bakery is super cute, with a great display of pastries and treats. They also offer a variety of croissants and cookies, so there's truly something for everyone. If you're anywhere near the area, Beach Pea Bakery is definitely worth the stop. read more

This is a neat little sandwich shop in Kittery Maine where all the locals know to go to get fresh bread and fugasse (get this ASAP). The sandwiches and salads are all made in-house with freshed baked breads ,and they are all unique. This is a fantastic place to go for lunch if you are in the area. read more

If I could give this place six stars, I would. Only ate lunch once, but it was perfect. Fast service on the lunch side. The magic happens in the bakery. I would highly recommend the eclairs, the tons of fresh bread choices, and the KeyLime Cheesecake. Holy cow batman! read more

The delightful scent of coffee was in the air and the staff were absolutely friendly as you approached the counter. Despite a buzz of patrons trickling in and ordering, the coffee was delivered to the table shortly after I sat. The staff obviously had a strong momentum going as I watched other tables being served just as quickly. Before I could even really start sipping on my piping hot Cafe Au Lait, I was served my salad and crepe. It was fun to watch how each person worked their station passionately. The lady preparing the crepes meticulously cleaned her station as she cooked. The staff on coffee were brewing away and sending cups out to diners. Other items were coming out from the back kitchen. They worked in unison like a well oiled machine. I definitely enjoyed my coffee. My salad was generous and hit the spot. The crepe was acceptable. Would I come back? Yeah, definitely my type of breakfast spot when visiting Portsmouth again. I definitely will try their croissants next time as well as check out their wine bar in the evenings!

Perfect bagel place. No notes…read more When you're heading home from vacation, you have to go out with a bang, e.g. one last great meal. But the car is packed, you're sweaty from packing the car, the dog's inside, it's ninety degrees out, and suddenly a sit-down brunch is the worst idea anyone's ever had. A breakfast sandwich is the obvious move... but Dunks isn't ending anyone's vacation on a high note. What you actually want is a bagel shop *that is also a deli*, because obviously you're going to convince yourself this sandwich needs something bougie like avocado. And maybe red onion. Maybe sprouts. Maybe all three. (See aforementioned note about still being on vacation) Of course you also need a place with online ordering, so you can tick little boxes and assemble your slightly unhinged sandwich in private. (btw the person making it is either judging you or admiring your vision. Cream cheese AND bacon? OK I see you.) Place the order as you're leaving Ogunquit and it's waiting for you by the time you hit Kittery. The next thing you know, the whole car is rolling down I-95 in complete silence because everyone is chewing away with cream cheese in the corners of their mouths. A word of advice, don't forget the napkins

The two women working were rude and hostile toward me from the moment I walked in. I didn't realize they needed to see a specific confirmation on the app, and while I was standing there trying to figure it out, they were talking under their breath watching me struggle. I then heard one of them say, "It's just been a long day," as if that justified the way they were treating me. I understand having a difficult day, but that is absolutely no excuse for taking your frustration out on customers. I was genuinely trying to figure out what they needed from me, and instead of offering basic assistance, they made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I ultimately left without my order. Very disappointing customer service and experience.

The prices were a little steep for a sandwich shop, but that's expected from an up-and-coming touristy town like York. I really like that the sandwich shop was located right on the beach and has outdoor seating. While there was also indoor seating, it was very no-frills. As for the food, it was extremely fresh. I had just the right ratio of mozzarella, tomato, and veggies. They drizzled a bit of balsamic on the top for some extra flavor, which the sandwich definitely needed. Overall I was very satisfied by my quick stop!
