Picture of Carrot Cake from Bread and Roses website
Joanne F.

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.

The most delicious cake for any chocolate/coffee lover out there.

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.

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.

Disappointing raspberry oat bar - soggy maybe it was the hard to open packaging

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

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 :)

Blueberry Sour Cream Coffeecake
Libbie A.

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.

Possible the best blueberry pie I have ever eaten. This is the real deal. I will be asking if they'll share the recipe.

Whether you get your drink hot or cold (cold is always topped with delicious cold foam! ). Beyond the coffee, their smoothies are a solid 15/10, the bagels are completely homemade, and the eggs come straight from their very own farm. Every time I go I get the plain Jane because it's just so perfect. I really want to try their lox and their French toast bagel with peanut butter and banana!! Will update this review once I do. It's such a unique and charming experience to be able to visit their chickens and goats while you're there. The atmosphere is wonderful, the food is top-tier, and I just love everything about this place. A must-visit!

Good sized parking lot and while I believe they have an inside area we went to the order window to grab coffees and enjoy the nice weather. They have food but we had already eaten so will need to return later on. Besides the typical drinks they offered some good seasonal drinks as well. I ended up going with Strawberry Fields, that had an incredible flavor to it. My wife got their Maude's Mocha and really enjoyed it as well. Top notch drinks by far, worthy of returning to. While we did enjoy the drinks the mention of them having goats was a huge reason for coming by. Besides goats, they also have some chickens. Both areas have some picnic tables to enjoy your food and drinks. They had roughly 5 or 6 goats and we got all of them to come over for some love and scratches. Goats are one of my favorite animals since I've worked with them for so many years and loved meeting some new ones. One had a feisty attitude but even she came around and enjoyed scratches on her withers(back). A coffee shop worth stopping at for friendly service with a smile, tasty coffee and cute goats!

"Your breath is sweet Your eyes are like two jewels in the…read moresky Your back is straight, your hair is smooth On the pillow where you lie One more cup of coffee for the road One more cup of coffee before I go" (Bob Dylan) Some of my friends gifted me with a basket of Maine goodies after we all served on a charity committee for a few years. In the basket was a 12-ounce bag of ground coffee from Maine's Katahdin Coffee Company. After a few cups, I realized I was drinking some of the very best coffee I ever had in my long coffee drinking life. It had been a very long time since we used ground coffee, because we converted to K Cups years ago (don't hassle me about the environment because we empty out and recycle all those plastic pods). We used one of those "make your own K Cup" plastic/mesh baskets that was banished to a kitchen cabinet for many years, scooped in a few spoonfuls of Katahdin and brewed it in our K Cup machine. My Katahdin coffee was a Medium/Dark variety known as "Baxter Blend". The flavor ran rings around everything else we have in the house. Yes, it was a zillion times better than what I normally drink. Katahdin is sold in quite a few Maine grocery stores and through their website. The website has offerings in 10-ounce, 12-ounce, and 2-lb bags, with choices of ground or whole bean across a few different flavors including Breakfast Blend, Breakfast Blend Decaf, Baxter Blend, French Roast, Maine Whoopie Pie, Hazelnut and Maine Blueberry Pie. Yes, we will be sending out a mail order as soon as we use up every last ground of coffee in that 12-ounce bag.

The mocha just didn't taste quite right, and while the iced coffee wasn't bad, it wasn't anything that stood out. I'd be willing to give the coffee another try, though. That said... the sandwiches are AMAZING. I built my own with roast beef, and they were incredibly generous with the deli meat. The sourdough bread was absolute perfection. They also offer free WiFi with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great spot to work remotely or enjoy lunch. I spent about three hours here and would definitely come back. One thing to keep in mind: they're right in the center of town, so it stays busy. There was a line nearly the entire time I was there, but don't let that discourage you. Even with the line, both my drinks and food were ready within just a few minutes of ordering. Great service despite the crowds!
