What a good hand pie. Flaky, filled with mildly curry spiced potatoes, peas and carrots. The pie was larger than my hand and tasted fantastic. The cheesecake had two layers, one the cheesecake which was baked to perfection, and the pistachio cream layer, an inch thick and beautiful with rose petal garnish. The owner waited on us and was so sweet. I wanted to hug her. The place was sparkling clean and warm and cozy. What an enjoyable experience.

We were so impressed, our "To Go" coffee order became a sit down sampling of Scotch eggs, sausage rolls and a vegetarian pastry! All delicious, and the cappuccinos were perfect too! What a find! The owner was so pleasant and friendly. Eclectic and fun places like Amandines aren't easy to find, and I am so glad we came across it. There are lots of items and local goodies for purchase. Will certainly go back on our next trip and definitely recommend to any one going to or from Bar Harbor! Great job Amandines - well done! Cheers-

David Atwater's The Bakery is a welcome arrival.

Located just off Main street in the Municipal Parking lot, The Bakery opens at 7am and has a few small tables if you don't have to rush home to feed a crowd. Quite cheerful service from David, Betty and Grace.

The meatball parm sandwich was amazing with a tomato sauce that made my companion, a Sicilian from New York, swear it was the best sauce she had eaten since she left NY so many years ago. That is a stellar review in itself. I will order the pizza next time--it should be fantastic. I plan on going back next week.

We custom ordered a pumpkin ginger loaf with hazelnuts and looked forward to enjoying it. We picked it up on Thursday and ate a slice on Friday. Besides the loaf being badly overcooked and burnt, this caused us some stomach insertion and discomfort. Not sure why but they are so kind so this is not my first choice. Nevertheless this should not have been sold to us if they care about all customers, locals and tourist alike, like we were. I decided to have a second slice this morning to see if Friday's stomach discomfort was a fluke but again the same thing happened. We just tossed the loaf into the garbage can. No hate just love but apparently the $10.99 ($8.99 plus $2.00 tip) means more to them than their reputation. Sorry but you left us no choice. Good luck and wish you well!

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.
