Lemon cruffin
Ben S.

Beautiful bakery indeed. World-class Parisian style pastries and bread make this a Hallowell must-stop on a street that is becoming a central Maine foodie hotspot. There are no wrong choices here as long as you like buttery, melt-in-your-mouth pastry. 'It's like eating a cloud'' says wife. They rotate flavors daily with something new to try and they label the choices, usually a dozen or so in the display case. A nice touch that keeps the line moving. Baguettes and sourdough boules are available most days. They also have tasty looking breakfast sandwiches sometimes made from croissants. Favorites include almond croissant, lemon cruffin (croissant-muffin hybrid), plum custard and walnut rye bread. The bakery opened in May after much anticipation from the locals. Located in a granite block building in the space of former Dom's barbershop, a long-time Hallowell fixture. It gets very busy on Saturdays with a line forming down street. The line moves quickly though and it's worth the weight. Cordon Bleu-trained owner/baker is from Ukraine.

Almond croissant and a cinnamon pecan  Cinnabon or bear claw or something like that

So it's a nice little place. I think fairly new. I didn't have high hopes but absolutely everything we tried was good. I'd stay with the lemon curd filled crumpet or danish... it's a Boston creme style filling with a lemon flavor. The croissant is amazing and the ham and cheese croissant is ridonculous! The cinnamon and sugar balls at the register are a nice grab and go, crispy and sweet style dough ball kinda thing. Very good. We tried a sour dough sample that was also very good. It's not everyday you find this quality bakery with this level of standard. Very impressive. They are perfectionist and it shows. The prices are on the high side but worth it. We are gonna make this place a regular stop even though it's an hour drive one way.

Newly Opened! The pastries and offerings at this little French-style pâtisserie are exquisite--worthy of a following in places like NYC, the Hamptons, or Boston. Hallowell $? The owner is cordon bleu taught, incredibly talented (see bio), friendly + accommodating, with a small staff handling everything from mixing dough, to pastry design and at the counter. Hallowell parking limits people passing by to stop -- I took several turnarounds til I could stop as recommended by another baker. I'd truly like to see this shop be successful. I value the small businesses like this. These are rare in Maine and when I travel I gravitate to these little European type cafes!! My favorite places. I enjoyed my pastries. i will return ... !!! Before 2:00 Coffee shop close Best of luck. !

Cruffin (maple bacon and strawberry rhubarb), morning buns, ham and cheese croissant, and pain au chocolate.

Grabbed a few things to try at home. It was fantastic! The service was quick and the baked goods were delicious. Will definitely be back.

It was a small bakery but the croissants, cookies and macarons that we bought were great. Service was quick as well.

Absolutely phenomenal products. And while I understand good quality costs money, the prices are really, really high.

I had been to Slates a few times, many, many years ago when I lived in the area. It was always a…read moretreat to dine here. It was damaged by fire and I moved away before it was restored. We were visitng in the area and was so glad to see it and just had to go. We did not have reservations but the restaurant was able to accomodate us immediately even though the place was quite full. We chose the homemade hummus with feta and olives to start off. Fresh, delicous and a perfect start. For entrees we had the fresh baked haddock wrapped around a filling of crabmeat with roasted carrots and grilled zuccini. The fish was succulent and oh so melt in your mouth deliciousness. The sides were fantastic. The grilled flat iron steak was just a tad over the requested medium rare, but was tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes and roasted carrots were the perfect accompaniments. All portions were generous. There was live music, subtle and soft, and it added to the enjoyment of our meal. Love the decor and the service was friendly and efficent. Parking can be a challenge but we found a spot across the street quite easily. We highly recommed and will return. Best to make a reservation in advance.

Every time I visit the Pastry, breaksfast and lunch selections are so fresh and delicious.

Not to mention, I was so tempted to order all the lovely baked goods and treats. They looked amazing. The seating was super accessible and expansive, and everyone here was super welcoming and hospitable. I hope to be back next time I am in time for a sweet treat! The cookies looked amazing.

Is the retail store and " restaurant" separate ? Where do I go first? Once we got to the deli case, and got through being overwhelmed, we were able to order.. still be warned as a newbie, it is a daunting experience!!!Brides the yummy sandwiches ( honestly I was hoping for a more rustic bread than what was offered ) and salads there is an incredible selection of baked goods. My partner chose the classic brownie ( incredibly dark and rich) and I the double chocolate cupcake filled with mocha mouse( which I saved for home) the icing and mouse filling were amaaaazing but the cake itself seemed quite gritty, as though it was a " alternative," flour. In the end I was a tad disappointed in my $6.00 cupcake. All in all a decent experience and I'd probably go again, but $46 for Sammie's and dessert is a bit steep for my pocketbook.
