The Maine Grocery List - The Bakery Aisle

There are almost as many bakeries in Maine as there are farms. Some carry "the basics"; others carry more artisanal items. If a bakery only sells items like donuts and cakes you probably won't see it here. Here are some Maine bakeries and links to where to find their products.

Please contact me to suggest a bakery or if you notice any outdated links or information below.
