WHY?! Why?!?! Why?!?!?!(Tears) I am beyond disappointed. I wait all year for a slice of the best carrot cake and make a special trip just for that. This has been my go to birthday cake spot for many years now. It started with a Mom's weekend in Ogunquit where I fell in love with the carrot cake. It was the ultimate slice of cake, tall- multi layered, moist, full of nuts, covered and filled with smooth and delicious frosting with nut covered outside, big enough slice for leftovers. Well, NOT ANY MORE! Who decided to change all the sliced cakes in to presliced and packaged sheet cake? Not only sheet cake, thin dense layers of cake. They didnt even cut off the exterior part so the cake would bond to the frosting. YUCK! I have never seen carrot cake in sheet cake form, and there is a reason for it.where is the side frosting with nuts? We bought all 5 flavors of cake. Yes $50 worth of cake. All were sheet cake slices. All 5 were slightly over baked, thin, dense layers with the frosting just sitting on top of the layers. There is nothing lovely about a slice of cake that is prepared like a lazy home baker. It's like they don't care. To whoever made the decision to cut corners to make things easier for production or whatever, you have ruined the most delicious cake. It's too bad that person doesn't think the customer deserves the very best slice. Why would someone comeback to buy a full cake after buying that? Bad business decision for you Bread and Roses. I know I will no longer recommend. I guess I will be going back to Whole Foods. The following is the cake discriptions from website... Bread & Roses Signature Wedding Cake Three layers of yellow butter cake layered with raspberry mousse, finished with white chocolate buttercream and white chocolate shavings. Funny Bone Three layers of chocolate fudge cake layered with peanut butter buttercream and finished with a dark chocolate glaze. Chocolate Truffle Torte Three layers of chocolate fudge cake layered with rich, dark chocolate ganache and finished with a dark chocolate glaze. Maine Blueberry Lemon Cake Two layers of yellow butter cake with Maine blueberries and fresh lemon juice, layered and finished with a lemon cream cheese buttercream. Carrot Cake Two layers of moist carrot cake with walnuts folded in. Layered and finished with a cream cheese buttercream, garnished with chopped walnuts. read more

My favorite bakery in all the land. I've been coming here for MANY years. I am never disappointed. There a vast selection of baked goodies and yummy coffee. When I come up I stock up on all the family favs. They freeze extremely well. I've sent items as gifts and my friends have loved them so much. Each year my birthday cake is a chocolate mocha cake that is to die for. read more

Bread & Roses - The most delicious cake for any chocolate/coffee lover out there. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wells, Maine

Bread and Roses bakes up a large selection of delicious goodies! I wanted to take one bite of everything. We preordered my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary cake and it was heavenly. We got the wild Maine blueberry and lemon cake. The cream cheese lemon icing was particularly divine! It went perfectly with some bubbly for the special occasion. read more

The whoopie pies are simply awful. The outer shell is heavy and doughy while the inside filling is simply way too sweet to be edible.

Years ago ( when Bread and Roses was in Ogunquit and had different owners ) it was 5 stars.... I used to take my kids in trr he see for a special treat after the beach on vacation. ... it was the best bakery I'd been to . Now it's sad... almost hidden in Wells.., terrible hours, no bakery to walk in a peruse....you have to order at a window I hit a chocolate raspberry oat bar that was sealed in a commercial package and was soggy and yuk. Sad this business won't make it . Too bad the old owners sold it It's nowhere near what it was read more

Bread & Roses - Disappointing raspberry oat bar - soggy maybe it was the hard to open packaging - A raspberry oat bar, partially unwrapped, is shown resting on a woven surface. The bar has a crumbly oat topping and visible raspberry filling. The packaging features a label from Chocolate Raspberry Bakehouse, indicating the bakery's name and origin. The surface beneath the bar appears to be a textured, woven material, possibly a basket or mat. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wells, Maine

We stopped at Bread and Roses for coffee and pastries on our way out of Kennebunkport. They seemed popular just based on how many items they were sold out of, but we each had a breakfast sandwich, a spinach and feta croissant and a ham and cheese croissant. They were not stingy with the ham! We wished we asked them to warm them for us but we were in a rush and forgot. Very friendly girls at the window, too. read more

Had awesome coffee here one of my mornings after walking on the beach. Coffee was delicious and I also had a blueberry whoopie pie which was stellar! read more

Food: Had a raspberry and cheese croissant which was so good we went back to get another before heading home from vacation! I also grabbed a blueberry grumble bar to take home and I'm hoping it's just as good. Drinks: iced chai latte was good! Probably my favorite I had during the weekend in ogunquit. Hot chocolate was AMAZING! It was made with steamed milk and the perfect amount of chocolate. The ladies running the ogunquit small shop were super friendly and had us starting the day with laughs. read more

One of our new favorite places to stop during vacation! Scones, muffins, and cinnamon buns were delicious. Definitely coming back!

Food is awful quality and very over priced. Yes, prices have increased. It is not okay to charge $7+ for a cup of disgusting coffee. Food is always either soggy, over cooked, or undercooked. While the staff is friendly, the new owners are not. Melanie is very rude and behaves highly inappropriately for an owner. Reading the responses to other peoples reviews is appalling to me. The ways she addresses negative reviews is embarrassing. The sign by the road is embarrassing. They need to either keep the hours the same for get a new sign for the hours change. Not have a poorly written and barely visible "2" on a white piece of paper taped over the closing time. The new owners clearly don't have the money or customer service to run a proper business. It's very sad because the original owner Mary was the sweetest soul and person you could have ever met. She would always be around to lend a hand to any worker. Or to stop and chat to the customers, always making sure everyone was happy with their purchase. It seems like the new owners sit behind a screen and give orders to the staff now. And don't get me started on the son of Melanie who is also a delivery driver for Bread & Roses. Rude, inappropriate, and unprofessional is an understatement. read more

Came here after attempting to go to Dunkin' and the line was too long there. 10x better food and drinks and much quicker! The parking is a little tight - there is only parking for about 7 cars max, so I'm sure it gets busy peak season. I have wanted to come here before but it was too busy so I drove past. However, now that I know how good it is, I will make more of an effort to come back! My mom always raves about the Carpe Diem coffee they serve. I expected it to taste the same as any other coffee I've had, but it was actually some of the best I've had! I ordered an iced caramel latte (they have dairy alternatives) and I got my mom a hazelnut hot coffee, both were delicious! For food, my mom got a lemon blueberry scone and I got a spinach and cheese croissant. She said it was the best scone she's ever had and appreciated the huge size and Maine blueberries inside. I enjoyed my croissant, but I almost wish I got a plain one. The actual croissant was so delicious and flavorful, but the only flavor I got was spinach. Staff was super nice as well, and I looked inside and saw such a huge variety of baked goods. They told me it was all freshly baked that morning too! Prices are on the high end, but on par with what I would expect from a high quality bakery like this. I will be back, especially since its 2 minutes from my moms house :) read more

Delicious food and beverage options. Loved the egg and cheese biscuit and the scones are amazing. Grateful they have oat milk too. The service was Fast and efficient with a smile read more

We paid premium prices to order a blueberry sour cream coffee cake via Goldbelly. The coffee cake tasted great but there were some technical issues with the cake. You can see it's darker around the edges so it's a bit over baked and all the berries sunk to the bottom. A little disappointed. The delivery was also a day late. Not sure if the issue was with Goldbelly, UPS or Bread and Roses. read more

Bread & Roses - Blueberry Sour Cream Coffeecake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wells, Maine

Not the same as when in was on Main Street in Ogunquit. Now a teeny tiny spot on shore road where only 2 people fit in at once exists besides the Wells factory where everything in wrapped in plastic. the Wells place is so out of the way and doesn't taste the same even though the recipes may be the same, the delivery and taste don't jive read more

There are no prices listed. $19 for a smoothie and whoopie pie!! The whoopie pie was clearly made from a mix and not homemade tasting at all. I wouldn't have paid half of that if the prices were listed. WAY OVERPRICED read more

This is the new location of the highly-rated Bread & Roses bakery that was a few miles south of here on Main St in Ogunquit. This location is also on Route 1 but is being operated as a takeout window only, presumably for safety reasons as the pandemic continues. The window does not face the road, so you have to keep an eye out for it, but there's plenty of free parking in the back. As for the baked goods, where do I begin? I suppose the answer has to start with the Maine blueberry pie, which may be the best blueberry pie I've ever had. The cakes are pretty special, too, and sold by the slice. But then there's the cinnamon butter puffs, the whoopee pies, the croissants, the cookies, the bread... one trip isn't enough. read more

Good bakery and pastries. They moved their location to wells permanently. Service is good too and they'll explain about any baked good that you've questions on. In warmer months, there is limited outdoor seating, currently they're only serving to go. read more

A real refreshing old type bakery. They make fantastic cakes and pies. Old fashion hand held snacks are nostalgic. Just the best.

When we visited on a sunny early spring weekend morning, we saw lots of happy people coming and going from here. So folks definitely love them! For us, it was a miss though. Bread & Roses is a from-scratch bakery offering pastries, baked goods, cakes, pies, and more. As of writing this, they are currently open Saturday and Sundays from 8a to 1p for takeout/pickup orders only. When we arrived at 9:30 they were out of quite a few things already (so bummed to miss out on the cinnamon rolls!). What we did get (for nearly $20 after tip) was: 1. A breakfast sandwich with a scrambled egg, a cheese slice, and a veggie sausage patty on a biscuit (we weren't allowed to get it in a croissant, but we see other people have). My partner didn't mind it, but we both agreed every layer was the same very soft texture. Overall it was dry (side note: this was premade, so I'm wondering if that didn't contribute to those things) and quite small for what we paid for compared to other breakfast sandwiches elsewhere. 2. A raspberry/cream cheese croissant. This tasted *exactly* like a Pillsbury Toaster Strudel, so get ready for a throwback to your youth! Would I order it again though? Probably not. 3. A spinach feta croissant. Unfortunately, this was inedible. The croissant was rock hard and the feta and spinach was, for lack of a better word, curdled I guess? We ended up throwing it away. The folks who worked here were super nice though. When they realized they hadn't given us their entire order, they ran across the parking lot to give it to us! Happy for the folks who love it here. And maybe if we had come earlier and tried different things - like the blueberry coffee cake or cinnamon roll - it would have been a different experience! read more

Sept 30, 2021 - "closed for the season" Full disclosure: I'm not a local. I'm from California and I'd recently heard about this bakery through (a random site called) GoldBelly. Since we were set to pass through this quaint town on a coastal road trip, I thought... "why not just wait to check it out in person?" It would have been fantastic had I known in advance that this bakery was closed for the season. Shame on me for only reading the reviews and trusting that the hours of operation on this Yelp page (AND the fact there were no notes from the business owner) indicated that the bakery was in full swing... and for also overlooking the Yelp tip posted earlier this month, sharing the same revelation. Oh well. I won't knock down the business for not updating their Yelp page even though it would have been less of an inconvenience otherwise. I'm sure the pastries are fantastic as others have mentioned. I'll have to try it... someday. To the business owner who manages this Yelp page: My recommendation would be to add a business note providing seasonal closure updates to hopeful patrons (as a business owner, you're able to do this) ... and maybe even updating the business name to include the words "temporarily closed." Either way, I am sure it will save others from mild disappointment. Cheers! read more

Great egg, cheese and veggie sausage biscuit! Didn't care for the egg and cheese croissant but should have known better once I saw that they were pre-made for fast service. And on that note, service was very fast and friendly. We'll be back for sure! read more

and basically go to Bread & Roses every day. I couple of weeks of ago I went and orders two iced coffee and two spinach croissants. When I got home they were totally overcooked. I've only been disappointed one other time and cashier gave me two tso croissants for free. I was happy. But I wrote an email about my last experience. Melanie suggested I look at the croissants before I leave. I just don't find that exceptional for a business. After Melanie's answer I will never go back there and suggest to all others. Don't bother!! read more

My wife and I absolutely love this place. We used to go to their storefront in Ogunquit starting many years ago, and while we're sad to see their limited operating hours at the Wells location (compared to before) and the lack of display cases like they used to have, the quality is still top notch and the workers are fantastic. Amazingly delicious breads and pastries, including a phenomenal blueberry crumb loaf and dinner-plate-size choc chip cookies. The outdoor atmosphere and seating is more relaxing in this location and there's plenty of parking, which was definitely a challenge in the old spot. Ogunquit's loss is Wells' gain. Open 7-1, be sure to check this place out - you'll be glad you did. read more

Bottom line: limited selection of greasy food served by an inept collection of local summer workers. Pros: Hard to find. Maybe their marketing because people seem to flock there despite the quality of food and service. Cons: The food came slowly and was a mixture of doe, cheese and grease. Zero imagination. Limited selection. Slow and overall unfriendly service. read more

Delicious egg and cheese on warm, buttery biscuits! Great coffee, too! Highly recommend!

My favorite place in Wells for sweets and breakfast goodies. Choc chip muffin, blueberry lemon scone, chocolate croissant, and cinnamon rolls! Oink. Thanks for great service and a delicious menu. read more

Roommate got the mocha, really enjoyed it, tasted like real, proper chocolate. I got a caramel latte, it was good. There were LOTS of baked good that looked delicious that were out for Christmas. read more

Bread & Roses - Butter puff and iced chai tea latte - A tall, clear plastic cup filled with iced coffee or a similar beverage, topped with ice and a straw, is positioned on a table. The cup has a black label with red flowers and wheat graphics. Next to it, a round pastry coated with sugar rests on a white paper towel. The background includes various objects, such as a brown paper bag and a smartphone, on the table. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wells, Maine

My mom got a cake from Bread & Roses to celebrate my engagement, and it was delicious. It was vanilla cake, raspberry mousse, buttercream, and white chocolate shavings. It was beautifully decorated and very special! My mom also got a variety of cupcakes. The yellow cake and chocolate frosted ones were my favorite. I will definitely be back! read more

We haven't been to Ogunquit in a few years, but part of our vacation ritual has always included Bread and Roses. I wax poetic about their pastries and baked goods when I catch wind of anyone planning a trip to Ogunquit. Of course, I had no idea they had closed that location! We made the trip to Wells so we could order our favorites- Carrot Cake for my husband and the Little Lucie for me. The had some tea breads out, so I also grabbed the Lemon one for the road, and I'm so glad I did!! It lasted all of 5 minutes- it was that delicious. We would typically go after dinner to grab dessert, but the Wells location hours were 8a-2p, so we made sure to get there before they closed. So happy they still have that location open. Stop by, you will not be disappointed. read more

Excellent bakery! Place is very clean with friendly staff and delicious pie. They also serve sandwiches and lunch

Stopped by for a coffee and bought a whole coffee cake - a Maine blueberry coffee cake! I purchased an iced coffee which was good and strong. They do not have flavored syrups, but did brew me a vanilla flavored coffee and added a packet of sugar and some cream. It was tasty, but you won't find a fancy, super sweet latte here. My husband ordered an iced tea, which he had to add sugar packets to, to sweeten it and said it was a good strong tea. My friend bought a Maine Blueberry lemonade which looked amazing! It was loaded with teeny Maine blueberries and looked and tasted scratch made. The coffee cake was also amazing. It was super moist on the inside and had a crispy sugar/cinnamon outside and a thick layer of a blueberry ribbon throughout. It was the perfect sweetness. You can even order them to be delivered anywhere in the US from Goldbelly, although marked up significantly from the $16 price you'll pay at the stand (I still may order it to be delivered it was that good). Prices here are reasonable, the quality is fantastic and the variety is huge. There is something for everyone at this cute stand in Wells, Maine. Lastly, the service was friendly. Can't wait to come back next time we visit! read more

What was once a fine bakery is not even a shadow of its former self. New place looks like a dump. Apparently the owners have decided to concentrate on the wholesale business and forgotten about the loyal customers who made them a success in the first place read more

Love this place! A gem! Dreaming of their treats whenever I'm headed to wells!! Wish there was more seating but generally, a total win!

Bought a gift card for my parents. They really enjoyed the food and smoothies. They loved it!

Fast friendly service, good coffee, great baked goods. I highly recommend the ginger molasses cookie.

You are a bakery in Maine yet have no blueberry muffins at 8:30 in the morning! You should ashamed of yourselves!!

Amazing breakfast foods, The blueberry pie was great, so was the muffins. Loved the selection.
