Standard Baking Co

A nice little bakery near the Old Port. It has a varied selection of baked goods. The scones were moist. I really liked the molasses cookies. They were nice and chewy not hard. Everything was not too sweet. I went there two days in a row and both times there was a line before they opened. They opened on time. A must if you're in Portland.

A Maine local friend highly recommended Standard Baking to us. He said their sourdough is out of this world and also reminded us to skip the scones (they were rather dry). Honestly, I truly think this bakery is truly living up to its hype!! The line was very long on a weekend morning, but it moved fast. We only waited 20 minutes in line. The Maine Miche Bread, which wad a whole wheat sourdough, was my favorite of this haul. Crunchy crust, soft and tangy interior. Only $8.50 for a big loaf. 10/10. Blueberry Lemon Tart blew our mind. It was SO DELICIOUS that we almost went back to wait in line again. We should’ve tried more tarts and fruit pastries. The croissant texture was perfect, and so as the pain au chocolate. Flaky and buttery. Morning bun was sweet, sticky and satisfying. Just a

Every item we tried at Standard Baking Co. was really good—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can see why it’s so popular. However, parking was limited, there wasn’t much room inside to stand and order, there’s no dine-in seating, no restrooms, and on busy days you may end up standing outside in the biting cold while waiting. Even so, the quality of the baked goods makes it worth the stop if you’re prepared for a grab-and-go experience.

My husband and I purchased a variety of baked goods at the Standard Baking Co. in downtown Portland, Maine. Everything we bought was fresh and delicious but both my husband and I particularly enjoyed their “Morning Bun with walnuts”! The shop was darling and the staff were very friendly. I strongly recommend a visit to this bakery! ❤️

Let me tell you the baked goods I got from this place were delicious! Me and my partner got a couple of things to try and none of them disappointed us at all. There was this mini personal sized pizza that we tried and it was delicious. Every was warm and tasted fresh. There was a line out the door when we showed up and we had to wait about 5-10 mins but it was worth a little wait. I would definitely come back to try out some more goodies!
