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.

Interesting menu, cute decor, friendly staff. Frittata was very good, as was the fried eggs with sautéed greens. But the star of breakfast was the blueberry pancakes.

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

Is the retail store and " restaurant" separate ? Where do I go first? Once we got to the deli case, and got through being overwhelmed, we were able to order.. still be warned as a newbie, it is a daunting experience!!!Brides the yummy sandwiches ( honestly I was hoping for a more rustic bread than what was offered ) and salads there is an incredible selection of baked goods. My partner chose the classic brownie ( incredibly dark and rich) and I the double chocolate cupcake filled with mocha mouse( which I saved for home) the icing and mouse filling were amaaaazing but the cake itself seemed quite gritty, as though it was a " alternative," flour. In the end I was a tad disappointed in my $6.00 cupcake. All in all a decent experience and I'd probably go again, but $46 for Sammie's and dessert is a bit steep for my pocketbook.

We ordered the blueberry pie and it was the best we've had in several years of coming to Maine! It was heavenly! We also ordered a Nieman's cookie which was good. We ordered two cupcakes - very vanilla and a raspberry (vanilla cake with rasp frosting) - the flavors were good but the cupcakes were so dry they were not good at all! Don't order - they aren't worth the calories. The pie;however, was worth 10x the calories and price - do it!! If we hadn't ordered the cupcakes to draw down the rating, I'd rate a 10 out of 5 for the pie!

Heads up: You're not in New York, and you don't get to charge New York prices for a worthless cake you couldn't even put the name on. If not answering your phone and allowing your message to indicate a full mailbox for days is any indication of your business prowess, you are an amateur. By the by, the frosting is completely tasteless.

This is also known as home kitchen bakery. It's part of the home kitchen cafe. Their #1 cold sub is…read moremy #1 for life. I first went here when it was in the adjoining room as close to home. I think there was difficulty staffing that (a common problem in Maine) so they have scaled down. The sandwiches are phenomenal. Only served until 2:30 each day. The hot peppers, balsamic vinegar and oil make these sandwiches. Make sure you just get everything on your sandwich. The service is still quite slow, which is probably due to staffing but it's an issue. There are many gluten free options but it is not a gluten free bakery. No outside food is allowed (don't bring in your Wasses!) Be a real Mainer and chomp those down in your car.
