Top 4 Bakeries in Portland
Top Tier EditorialSourcesNew England Today (Yankee)Portland Press Herald
- №1
Tandem Coffee and Bakery
West End
“Yankee's West End anchor in a late-'60s former gas station — the cragged, salt-flaked buttermilk biscuit (fruit-jam or cheddar-jalapeño) is the Portland pastry other cities try to clone, with olive-oil brioche sticky buns on the side.”
- №2
Standard Baking Co
Old Port
“Dana Street's 1995 Old Port bakery in the same building as Fore Street — the morning buns and Swedish cardamom buns are Portland standards. The Press Herald connects the Fore Street family empire directly to this bread program.”
- №3
Norimoto Bakery
Deering Center
“Atsuko Fujimoto — the 2024 James Beard Outstanding Pastry Chef/Baker. Yankee calls out the yuzu meringue tarts, miso honey butter cinnamon rolls, and shokupan milk loaves at this take-out-only Deering Center shop.”
- №4
Bread & Friends
Old Port
“Wood-fired oven and in-house grain mill for country loaves, transforming to a dinner room at night. Yankee flags it as a rising Portland bakery; executive chef Jeremy Broucek was a 2026 James Beard semifinalist — and the Press Herald puts it on the Best 75 spine.”
