Probably THE BEST cupcakes we've ever had. Seriously !!! We only bought 4, and of course, we were sorry we didn't buy more. AAAAHMAAAAAZING !!! We bought 2 lemon, 1 lemon blueberry, and 1 salted caramel. The buttercream was perfection, and so was the cake part. Plus, the ratio of icing to cake was also spot-on. We loved every bite, and I still think about those cupcakes all these weeks later. Good thing we live so far away.

I ordered the Cubano which comes with a small bag of Lays chips. I'll say the sandwich was okay. Nothing really great or special about it. The sandwiches are pricey imo but I know this is a popular touristy town so it's priced accordingly. I had higher expectations for a $15+ sandwich. The area is beautiful and the restaurant is at a prime location.

Will never listen to a blog again. Clearly the blogger must have been friends with the owner because there's no way anyone in their right mind would recommend this place. We stopped by at 9 am on Saturday, 6/20/26. There was no line when we got there; immediately after, the line got super long, but moved quickly. The staff weren't too friendly. We got vanilla lattes ($6.75 + 90¢ for vanilla) which had 0 vanilla flavor. I got a quiche ($8.50 for a measly slice!! A crime!!). Quiche of the day was broccoli, cheddar, and onion. It was the literal worst quiche of my entire life. My husband got the yogurt + granola + honey ($7.95 + $1 for banana), which was fine, because it's pretty hard to mess up a parfait. $32 total (!!) for the worst breakfast ever. The rating is ridiculously inflated for this place. Wish we never had gone. Overinflated reviews, overinflated prices, underwhelming coffee and food.

Stopped in to get some snacks to eat while hiking: in keeping with local produce, got a blueberry bran muffin and a maple bun whose name I forget. The ingredients were great quality: you could taste the freshness of the blueberries and the purity of the maple syrup. The question, for me, is whether the baking elevates these ingredients beyond if I'd just had blueberries and maple syrup. About that, I'm not sure.

On a recent cruise we had a port stop in Rockland, ME. Instead of doing an excursion we decided to…read moredo one of those "go down this street and right" excursions where you make everything up as you. Since it was between breakfast and lunch we decided to stop into Atlantic Baking for a coffee and a pastry. Atlantic Baking is an unassuming shop right along what I'm going to consider a main street through Rockland. Not necessarily THE main street, but the Main-est we saw, so I'm sticking with that. Inside are several cases of pastries, breads, rolls, donuts and other baked goods that looked at me as if to say "I dare you". There was a cinnamon roll-ish thing that looked really good, and a Vanilla latte are what talked to me most. The staff (two young ladies on this morning) were busy hustling and, even with that, were helpful as they tried to keep taking care of customers. The vanilla latte was SUE-PERB, albeit a bit hot for my taste (had it let is cool first). As we sat having our halfway-between-breakfast-and-lunch-but-not-really-brunch snack there was a steady stream of customers, I'm guessing about 50/50 regulars and cruisers. Aside from pastries, coffees and teas, there's a cooler with canned/bottle beverages for the on-the-go beverage drinker. With as much activity as was going on during our visit you'd think it'd be difficult to keep clean, but there was a gentleman who came out frequently to take care of emptied tables, trash, etc. There are windows into the baking area, proving that they've got nothing to hide. Most everything is made on site with fresh, natural ingredients by people who take pride in what they do. Atlantic Baking is a charming place and a nice stop for a mid-morning snack

The market is cute, clean, and well stocked with a variety of old favorites and interesting new choices of various snacks and beverages. We ordered a large Hawaiian pizza and two large steak & cheese subs, not expecting much and were blown away by the deliciousness of the pizza in particular. I'm not sure if they add provolone to the mozzarella but the cheese was amazing and the toppings were just right. The ham was thinly sliced so as not to overpower other flavors. Our pizza and subs were ready in a timely manner, and all staff was friendly and happy. We read other reviews here about oily pizza, but this pizza was not even remotely close to being oily - it was perfect and if it weren't an hour from home we'd be frequent flyers.

I've died and gone to heaven. My husband ordered a burger with fries - delicious burger with hand-cut fries that he adored and I had the breakfast biscuit sandwich with cheese, egg, and sausage. Sooo good! We sat outside on the shaded patio and our toddler had a good time running around in the spaces and enjoying the fresh greenery and flowers. Staff were very friendly and patient, despite the crowd at the time and food was fresh and delicious and well worth a short wait. Delicious!

There was truly no greater feeling than walking up to this cute, cozy little bakery and seeing a "Sold Out" sign, knowing that I had maybe 20+ pastry items waiting for me. The taste lived up to the hype. I tried the pistachio croissant, which was unique and had a lovely unexpected chocolate filling. But the apple kouign amann with the caramel filling was simply to die for. I got other pastry items to see how they stacked up against Portland's greatest (e.g. ham & cheese croissant, plain croissant, bagels). These standard items were good, I think where the Place Bakery truly shines is the more unique pastry items that you won't find elsewhere. They are clearly gifted bakers, have a trusted cult following and are a staple in the neighborhood. If you're only open on the weekends and still able to float as a business, you're doing something right. Run, don't walk, to the Place Bakery.
