Last year I spent six weeks in Portland, Maine and if you have been following me for a while, you know I love baked goods. So, once I got to Portland, I had to map out all the bakeries I was going to visit. I ended up going to eleven bakeries in Portland, Maine. Most were actual bakeries but a couple were cafes that also had baked goods. I’m sharing my favorite bakeries in Portland, Maine and what I ordered at each one. I’m also sharing my overall thoughts on the other bakeries I went to and if I would go back again. Here are the best bakeries in Portland,…
