After having some of the bread prior to our meals at a few restaurants, we found out the bread is locally sourced at a sister business right around the corner from where ate the night before. There is parking avail for customers in the lot for 30 mins, we prob waited about 20 mins and crossed the threshold into baked goods heaven. There was so much to select from - we got pastries, cookies, pizza and bread - and we pretty much liked everything. Our least favorite was the morning bun with walnuts - we didn't have it right away so that might've been part of the issue. Just note that the bread served at the restaurants aren't available until 2pm - we were leaving that morning so we weren't going wait for it. We opted for other loaves instead and they didn't disappoint. If you want something yummy and fresh - make sure to stop by here before heading out of Portland. I do wish the setup was a bit more conducive to the big crowds as there isn't much space from the front door to the counter but still a fantastic find!

On a Saturday morning at 8am it was mostly breakfast items, with a few lunch-ish items sprinkled in. There are some desserts, but only a handful...perhaps those come out later in the day.

I tried one of each flavor of the onigiri, the blueberry tart, the lemon ricotta tart, strawberry rhubarb danish, and the cinnamon bun. Honestly...everything was so delicious, so fresh, so unique. The flavors in each item were special in some way, definitely not your typical Panera baked goods...definitely a notch above. Will be back for sure

We bought several of the Chocolate Volcano and Lemon Riccota cookies. They are made of all natural ingredients. The Chocolate Volcano cookies are my favorite. The ingredients are Flour, Sugar, Eggs, Cocoa, Butter, Olive Oil, Vanilla, Salt, Baking Powder, and Powdered Sugar. If you're a label reader like me, there's no need to worry about anything artificial in these delicious cookies. They are individually wrapped so you don't have to worry about germs. I see they have an Etsy store so we will definitely order some. Thanks, Christine P., for bringing this to my attention.

Scratch Baking Co. in South Portland makes the best bagels I've had outside of the Tri-State area--hands down. The texture is unreal: plush and chewy on the inside with that perfect crusty exterior that gives the ideal bite. The salt bagel is my go-to (flaky, briny, perfection), but the Montreal spice and salt combo changed my life. Seriously, try it. They've got a unique setup too--grab your bagels and then choose a "rip and dip" style tub of cream cheese (about $2 each). Two bagels plus two cream cheeses came out to around $8--great quality and value. Beyond bagels, they've got sweet pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and a bunch of local Maine goodies. Definitely plan to come back every time I'm in Portland. Service was also very helpful and friendly to help you navigate as a tourist. Pro tip: there are two locations, they're closed Tuesdays, and parking on the street can be a bit tricky--so plan ahead. But the bagels are 100% worth the effort.

On this trip, we stopped at the smaller West End shop the night we arrived, then visited the Portland Bayside location the next morning. We picked up a medium pumpkin pie, a bourbon pecan pie, and an individual blueberry pie for a relative. The blueberry pie was excellent--made with real Maine blueberries and a perfectly flaky crust. I usually go for their sweet pastries, but the cheddar scallion biscuit was a standout: melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The large peanut butter cookie was soft in the center and very tasty. Service at both locations was friendly and helpful. The West End shop has a small seating area, while Bayside offers more tables and (I think) a counter with stools. We got everything to go since we were visiting family up north. They do serve coffee, and note they're closed Monday and Tuesday. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Portland.

The salad bar area was dirty and some of the sections needed attention. I waited at the counter to buy desserts and I was just looked at a few times and not helped.

He had looked at me a couple of times, but never helped me until the young man motioned for him to. There was virtually no one in there. So, not because it was busy.
