    Not only do I want to order another drink from Onggi, I also want to purchase their matcha making tools (for at home matcha bevs), design my apt after their simplistic yet inviting interior, and stock my kitchen with all of the good from their mini Asian market. In all seriousness their matcha latte is great, nice strong matcha flavor that's not watered down by milk.

    Coffee and Hojicha Latte
    Lea A.

    We dropped by Onggi for coffee in the morning. When you first walk in, it appears to be a small store with different products (fermentation starters, tea, condiments, nuts, cooking vessels, etc). When you pass the counter, you will see a sign to walk up to the cafe area. It is relatively small with just enough space for a small line of people to order. Luckily, there were two tables in the lower level. I ordered a hojicha latte with oat milk (I don't think they charge extra for plant based milk), and my boyfriend ordered a coffee. The hojicha latte was yummy and had a creamy texture. It had a toasty and sweet flavor. Sort of had notes of cereal? My boyfriend said his coffee was just alright and that he preferred my drink. Service was quick and the shop had a very aesthetic vibe to it. We purchased sourdough starter, tea, and cute little ceramic chopstick rests. Wish we could have purchased sauces and spreads but alas...

    Matcha black sesame mochi
    Brock L.

    One of the best spots in town to grab a pastry and drink. I ordered the matcha black sesame mochi which was to die for. I also ordered a Hojicha latte with a black sesame foam. Both were perfect, the service was quick and helpful. There is also a cute shop in the front of the store and the coffee is in the back.

    I was looking up places to explore with my sister in Portland and I saw Onggi as a result on the list. When I looked up who they are and their story I knew I needed to stop by while in Maine. They have a sweet little shop and make really great matcha! I enjoyed the Miso Maple Matcha with Oatmilk, plus having a butterscotch cookie on the side made for the perfect pairing. If you like matcha, or are wanting to try matcha, you need to stop by this spot when you're in Portland!

    Great bakery and fermented speciality shop. Standouts included aged soy sauce and dashi, lots of chili crisps, tomato vinegar, fermentation weights, black garlic date concentrate, among so much else.

    This little shop in Portland is giving me Kinfolk magazine vibes. It felt so peaceful when I walked in, a space made with intention. The market side had a very well curated selection of Asian dry goods, drinks, snacks, and handmade ceramics. I picked up a bag of sour blackberry fish made by a Swedish company that caught my eye, they were basically elevated Swedish fish combined with a sour patch kid. They nailed the Swedish fish consistency! The cafe in the back was serving up delicious, unique drinks. I got the hojicha latte, which was nutty and lightly sweet. They also made the black sesame foam hojicha hot for us which was needed for the cold weather. I was warned the foam would just melt into the drink but that wasn't a deal breaker for me. The black sesame flavor was very strong, not subtle in a good way. The barista came over and handed me my drinks while I was perusing the market side. I always appreciate when people take that extra step for service! Their baked goods all look soooo tasty - they all had an Asian note to them. The hojicha butterscotch oat cookie was nice and chewy, and not too sweet (the ultimate Asian compliment!). I wish I lived closer to this store - I'll definitely stop in again next time I'm in Portland!

    I WISH we had a shop like Onggi in our neighborhood. Came here multiple times on our trips to Maine. Staff are so friendly and helpful, and super knowledgeable about the products and fermented foods. The shop itself is well organized and so colorful - I could spend hours in there checking out ever shelf and item in stock. Favorite items I brought home were the sambal goreng crunch, matcha cream and fermented hot sauces. Will go back next Portland trip for sure.

    Awesome ferment shop. Cool selection of kombucha, fermented hot sauce, sauerkraut, and much more. Would love if they carried some tempeh products and amazake!

    Black Sesame cold foam iced hojicha
    Stephanie M.

    Adorable and fun shop that highlights asian culture and the art of fermentation. The staff was friendly. They were pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon. Tried the black sesame cold foam hojicha with oatmilk which was delicious. It was not too sweet and all the flavors were balanced well. I just wished they had a nondairy or lactose free cold foam option. Would definitely return to try their miso maple syrup or matcha beverages

    Strawberry Matchas

    no parking and no street parking so your best bet is probably parking at forage despite being instructed not to. location is very cute, the building is sweet and also painted a shade of matcha green which was whimsical and ironic and fun. the door enters into a little shop that sells some basic artisan jams and such. the actual bakery is up the stairs behind that. matcha latte was yummy but also my order was 10$ and beware the drinks are very small if you're hoping for hydration in a hot month. there are two window booth seats facing the west end which is kind of cute but both seat maybe 2 people and are never not taken up by remote workers on latops. it's a cute spot but it's not really somewhere to hang out and the odd layout makes it so there's not really anywhere to stand or sit during or after ordering. the barista however this morning was the friendliest prettiest coolest girl so props to her.

    Blueberry Matcha Latte
    Lizzy Y.

    I visited this adorable shop in August. My friend and I had been searching for a blueberry matcha drink (every time we've tried to get one at a local coffee shop in Boston, it's been sold out). What better place to try a blueberry product than Maine? The workers at the shop were super friendly and told us they were doing a pop-up blueberry drink the weekend we were there! The matcha was smooth and earthy, and the blueberry syrup was berry-delicious:) The cafe is hidden in the back behind the shop which houses tons of beautiful curated ingredients for cooking. Highly recommend stopping by this gorgeous shop while visiting Portland!

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 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 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.

I'm not sure, not a baked goods person at all but when I read that it was a James Beard award winning bakery I just had to find my way there. The spot opened at 8 o'clock and when I got there at 7:45 am there was a line of three people, I made the fourth. Moments went by and the line started to get longer, that's when I knew this place was going to be good. At 8 o'clock an adorable man opened the door and he looked like he had been working all morning tirelessly and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. I walked in and my glasses fogged, I couldn't see a thing. I will never forget the smell upon walking into this teeny tiny, standing room only magical bake shop. I have never smelled anything like this in my life, the coziest, warmest, freshest delicious smell. Seriously unreal. They didn't have a ton of options at the time I went in, chocolate croissants, regular croissants some other options in the window and then a section above of items from the day before. They had a schedule on the board indicating when more items would be available later in the day. It doesn't get more fresh and real than that. I got a croissant and a chocolate croissant and went on my merry way. On my walk back to the hotel I took a bite of the croissant. Holy magic. I've never had a croissant so perfect. The flakiness the flavor, I mean this place is special. By the time I got back to my hotel I tried the chocolate croissant as well and while it was also delicious, it needed to be warmed up, the chocolate was hardened and even then it was delicious. The chocolate was quality. If you are into fresh breads and baked goods stop in here for a very cool experience, the most delicious smells and tasty pastries. Hats off to this shop.
