We first visited Two Fat Cats back in 2005 at their original location, and it's been great to see them grow into two bright, modern industrial-style bakeries. 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. read more

Everything happens for a reason. After a mishap with another local bakery, it led me to Two Fat Cats Bakery and I'm so glad it did. Their customer service is beyond amazing. My partner was able to pick up a birthday pie right before closing, they were so sweet to let him in minutes before. We later realized it was a blueberry pie instead of the apple pie. I called first thing the next morning, and Jamie was so kind and helpful! She immediately set aside an apple pie for us to pick up. The pie was absolutely delicious and the service turned what could've been a frustrating experience into such a positive one. Highly recommend Two Fat Cats Bakery for all your pie needs! They truly care about their customers. read more

Two Fat Cats is a Portland mainstay and for good reason! They have a huge selection of really excellent baked goods; ranging from pies, to cakes, to quiches, to smaller baked treats. I think the only thing they lack is decaf coffee. We made a stop while downtown the other day and are so happy we did. Their space is bright and roomy with lots of seating and tables, with a chance to watch the bakers do their magic! The staff was really helpful with suggestions while we made selections. We enjoyed our treats very much, less the scone which seemed a little underdone. We will definitely be back, likely for a birthday cake! read more

Friendly service. Went in on a Saturday and the place was pretty packed only a few tables were open. Definitely a place where you can do laptop work/ read a book and eat a good pastry. I ordered the strawberry rhubarb pie and it was delicious, as was my chai latte. I can see why they are popular. Easy to find parking outside too read more

Two Fat Cats was on my list of places to hit up during my first proper trip to Portland back in 2021. For one reason or another, I didn't make it back then - but made it a priority to visit during my recent trip to the city. I had heard nothing but good things, so we made plans to pick up some breakfast and pastries to go the morning we were heading back to NY. The bakery itself was larger than I expected - is almost wholesale-like with all of their kitchen operations visible from the front counter and high ceilings. It was a happy surprise to see parking along the side of the building, and they also had some seating towards the far end of the main pedestrian area. Pies are the main star of TFC's menu, which are all on display adjacent to where you order. We put those pies on the back burner and decided to order some breakfast carbs first - I got an egg and cheese biscuit sandwich and we split a blueberry scone, cinnamon roll, and cherry hand pie. The sandwich was pretty good - it had good flavor but I think the combination of being wrapped in foil and then placed in a warmer made the bread stick too much to the fillings and be a little too soft overall. The blueberry scone and cherry hand pie were good, and the cinnamon roll was excellent. We decided to pick up a pie for the road - we got the blueberry crumb because Maine and because we love blueberries. The pie was really good and super unique - the "crumb" was almost oatmeal or granola like in texture, and that continued into the crust. It made for a good texture contrast with the pie filling. It was unlike any other blueberry pie I've had and totally memorable. Service was good, and overall I'm a fan of Two Fat Cats. I wouldn't call it my favorite bakery in Portland, but they do serve up some of the best pie I've had in a while. It's definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

My husband and I are new to Portland and absolutely love Two Fat Cats! They make the best breakfast sandwiches in town, I highly recommend that you try them. We look forward to exploring more of their pastries! Inside is a really cool vibe, it would be a great workspace and they also have board games. Honestly our only complaint is that they aren't open early on Sundays! read more

The crust on the bourbon pecan pie is to die for. The lemon square my wife loved. The whoopie pies were tiny & stale, however the filling was on point. The price of 2.25 each was not worthy. I can go to Mardens & get Labadie's bakery whoopie pies for far less and better & more substantial. However Two Fat Cats pies are incredible works of art. 3 different sizes to choose from. I will be back for a full pie or two in the future. I will become the Third Fat read more

The food was pretty good however it was nothing out of this world. The blueberry pocket was good and so was the pumpkin Whoopie pie. It was not something that I would be thinking about for days after and hoping to come back one day. It was decent if you're looking to try some new flavors. I wish they sold the blueberry pie as individual slices rather than the blueberry pocket however, I think they must've ran out when I went. This place is a cute little shop right where I live and it was super nice to go to. The service was super Duper good they were very knowledgeable about all their items. read more

I'm giving this 5 stars JUST for the whoopie pies and I don't even like whoopie pies, but shen in Maine. I went to the bigger location on the outskirts of Portland so it wasn't as busy so it was quick service amd plenty of parking. And that whoopie pie was AMAZING. read more

I think their blueberry and tart cherry pies are very good, especially the fillings. They're not the best I've ever had; I think the crust could use some more flavor, and the small one I bought of the cherry was not fully baked. You could see that the top crust was blonde instead of the golden color, and the bottom of the crust was not fully cooked. All the great ingredients are worth nothing if they're not cooked properly. Even better, which the bakery may be missing by not baking the pies a bit more, is that when I took it home and baked it for 10 minutes, the crust was even flakier. read more

Really love the variety of options here. Especially in the pies. They've got whole and minis. Strawberry Rhubarb Pie was DELICIOUS! I was actually not expecting this. The Only reason we even got this was because my brother wanted to try something with rhubarb. It was the Perfect balance of sweet and tart and just so good, we went to get more! Blueberry Pie was okay. I was expecting something really nice after reading their reviews online, but it was just so so. Very creative whoopie pie: Lemon Zucchini Cake with Blueberry filling. This was unexpectedly good. The filling kept coming out on the sides because it didn't stick on to the cake but still so good! Key Lime Pie was delicious too! Smooth pie and a nice crust. Good balance of sweet and tart. read more

So nice we went twice. What a great place, the pastries are ridiculously good. I had to have the blueberry pie on our visit to Maine, and wow was that phenomenal. Off the beaten path but you'll be happy you stopped in. Great food, great vibe. Can't ask for much more. read more

Delicious pastries. We picked up whoopie pies and a raspberry rhubarb pie today. They have moved from their original location since we were last in Portland, gone too long. If you're looking for wonderful pies, cakes and sweets, look no further. read more

I'd be the third fat cat if I lived closer! TFC's claim to fame is the pies and they definitely do not disappoint. These pies are just the best! I've had these shipped to me via Goldbelly and had them when I visited Maine, and they are great each and every time. They have a few favorites but I just can't look away from my goto Blueberry, which is not overly sweet, with a great crust. The rest of the bakery is just as great. I'd enter the great whoopie pie debate with these as my entries but that's a whole other fight in the great State of Maine. The scones are delicious as well. In fact everything I tried from TFC was delicious on a recent visit. Go visit this Maine institution, it's definitely one of the best no matter where you're coming from. read more

On a day trip to Portland Maine, I had to try a Wild Maine Blueberry pie. Yelp led me to Two Cats Bakery a charming bakery in downtown Portland. I had a mini blueberry pie and it was delicious with incredible blueberry flavor and a flaky buttery crust. There were pies for sale as well as merchandise and housemade products. Delicious and highly recommended bakery for pies. read more

Believe the hype. This *is* one of the best blueberry pies in the state of Maine. "Made from scratch, baked fresh daily, and filled with wild Maine blueberries. The way pie should be." (from their website; it's just too good not to quote directly!). You can visit the bakery (in Portland or South Portland)! You can do a local preorder online (with 48 hours advance)! You can even place an order for nationwide shipping! They even offer a vegan version of their Blue Pie ("the ideal Maine pie: famous wild Maine blueberries tossed with a sprinkle of sugar and warm spices"). It's packed full of vibrant blueberries and the crust melts in your mouth. Pick-up a pint of vanilla ice cream, and you have the best, most summery dessert there is! Also, the pie holds up really well in the freezer! I do wish they'd offer more vegan options (maybe a cinnamon roll, or scone, or a couple other year round and seasonal pie flavors), and who knows? Maybe the will. For now, this is my go-to for Maine's state dessert. read more

This is the place that all the other cake shops in Portland recommend when you need a fresh cake or pie on the day you're looking for it. Believe me, I called around to three other shops first, then I left work to get a delicious red velvet cake for my wife's birthday...and it was half off! These guys actually have a cake and pie case like The Governor's Restaurant, so they can have one ready for those of us that planned on making a cake, but found themselves unable to and in a pinch. While I was there, I perused their pies and asked about them, when the attendant told me that there was one half-priced pie left! What! Oh yeah, slap on a pie while I wait. And just for good measure, get me a nice Two Fat Cats tee shirt (which now basically cost me nothing). Thanks TFC for the amazing experience read more

Great pie. Fantastic crust. But $27 dollars for a very small pie lacking filling? Coffee mediocre. Pass.

I love pie, so I was psyched to find this place. My wife and I stopped in for breakfast and were so pleased with what we got. My wife had a breakfast sandwich, which came on an amazing biscuit. She had nothing but good things to say about it. I got a cinnamon roll and a blueberry hand pie. Both were delicious, but the hand pie was the standout. The crust was perfectly butter and flaky, with a delicious sweet and tart blueberry filling. I wish I was in town longer because I'd absolutely come back and get a whole pie. We also enjoyed the atmosphere inside. The furniture and decor were eclectic in a great way. It wasn't too busy, so we had no problem getting a place to sit. I can't wait to come back here the next time I'm in town! read more

Still thinking about our raspberry pie from Two Fat Cats Bakery. It was a bit tart yet sweet, it had the perfect crust, and it was just delicious. I had been meaning to visit this local bakery and on my way to Trader Joe's I finally stopped by. I was quickly welcomed by the friendly staff and felt right at home. We ordered a raspberry pie and some pumpkin cookies, and I have nothing but amazing things to say about both desserts. The cookies were seasonal and were so soft and moist! They were also nice enough to hold my order as I walked over to Trader Joe's. Also -- I want to give them a shoutout for their philanthropic work and involvement in our local community. I've learned that they often sponsor nonprofits and events, and I absolutely love that. Keep it up, Two Fat Cats! read more

We were in Portland on vacation and asked around about a bakery with quality blueberry pie. The aroma out of this bakery signaled we were in the right place. We found excellent varieties from fruit pies, chicken pots, cookies and whoopie cookie - which I still don't understand but I enjoyed! The blueberry pie did not disappoint! The all women staff is friendly and helpful. This bakery on repeat list when I visit Portland again. read more

Fat Cat has some of the best pies and desserts in town. I thoroughly enjoyed their Bumbleberry Pie (blueberries, apples, raspberries, and rhubarb). You can find their bars in a lot of local coffee shops/-their lemon and raspberry bars are definitely worth a try! I wish their interior, which is slightly cramped for how large of a space they have, would update its decor to make the space feel more homey. I find that it's catered towards offering takeout. read more

I had the berry pie and the chicken salad sandwich. Both were delicious and very fresh. 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic bakery in Portland! Loved our classic whoopie pie and a triple berry pie we tried. The pie was flavorful and moist, and even though we waited 8+ hours to eat it after buying it, the crust was still crunchy. Also was pleasantly surprised by their ice coffee, that was delicious! Finally, their merch is top notch. I deeply regret not buying one of their metal-inspired Two Fat Cats t-shirts. read more

We bought a chocolate birthday cake made with the crème filled wafer cookies. Yummy! It is a small shop with a big display case of pies right in front. Cakes are in the tower to the right. read more

Great cupcakes. Tried the vanilla and the chocolate. Both were light, moist and delicious.

Stopped in here for some snacks on the way out of town on a Wednesday morning. Their blueberry pie was very yummy. They sell it by the whole pie, slice or a mini pie. I chose the mini pie. The crust on top was a bit biscuit like which made it very nice. It was flavorful. I also had the chocolate whoopie pie. The filling was lovely - light and not too sweet. The cookie wasn't my fav. It tasted very floury. It was fine. I certainly ate it. But I wouldn't get it again. read more

I was told since I was gluten free I had to stop in here that I wouldn't be disappointed. Honestly Portland didn't offer that many options for gluten free which I was extremely disappointed about. These cupcakes were dry, the best part was the icing on the vanilla cupcake. I didn't enjoy the chocolate cupcake at all, it had this whipped cream type icing. The cookie was the best cookie. That's my own vanilla oat milk. If you are craving something sweet I guess it'll do in a pinch but I don't live in Maine and I've had way better in other states. Definitely get the cookie which is why there is a 3 star rating. read more

We stopped by here on our last day in Maine in search of the best blueberry pie--and we found it. The filling is not too sweet, but not tart and the crust is just flaky enough. The whoopie pie was also amazing. I wasn't planning on getting it but it looked tempting and was a great addition. It was so fresh and the filling was light and airy. The staff was also nice, helpful, and patient! The bakery is very cute inside and there was plenty of stock left around 12 on a Friday. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the area! read more

We went to Portland for a couple days during our trip to the Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor area and found this place while walking around. We were going to wait until Thurston's (in Bar Harbor and known for their blueberry pies) to get blueberry pie, but it smell inside the bakery was just completely mouthwatering - you could smell the rich butter from the pies. We got a 7 inch blueberry pie to share, which turned out to be the right size - it was enough for the 4 of us to each get a good sized slice. I have to say, this was the best pie I've ever had in my life! The crust was perfectly crispy, flaky, and buttery. The pie was oozing with ripe, sweet Maine blueberries. My mom, who usually doesn't eat pie crust, devoured every last bit of this one. I do recommend heating it up in the oven so that the crust has that perfect, soft crunch to it. By the way, I did end up trying the blueberry pie at Thurston's, and this completely blows it out of the water. It's not even in the same ballpark. Yes, it's pretty pricy (about $17-18 for this 7" pie), but it was worth it and if I'm ever in the area again in the future, I will be buying another one. I can't recommend it enough! read more

My boyfriend and I aren't huge fans of pie, so you KNOW this pie is good when we try to stop by whenever we're in Portland!
