Cute place, small, and apparently, it's been there forever! I just grabbed a meat pie that was tasty. Service was nice. They didn't seem to have a lot, but maybe it's because it was an afternoon during the week. the place had some seating, and the bathroom was clean but dark. People were very nice and I would try other things next time! read more

Every item is incredible. The owner is a gifted baker creating some beautiful works of art. Not onły all her cakes & pastries look fabułous but they also taste great. Question: Can you make a small chocolate bourbon pecan pie 6"?? read more

A mouthwatering experience. An aromatic paradise. And.....you leave with a bag of deliciousness along with money still in your pocket. read more

I spent the weekend in old Orchard Beach Maine, and wanted to bring home wild blueberry pie. I was searching online where to find a bakery and I came across Fernleaf bakery. I called them on the phone and they told me they had one very pie left. They were nice enough to put it aside for me. When I arrived, there were people having coffee and pastries. It is a coffee shop and bakery, which also sells breakfast and lunch sandwiches. I heated the blueberry pie up and served it with vanilla ice cream. It was delicious. I would recommend this bakery and I would love to try more things. read more

Ordered a birthday cake and a blueberry pie to pick up. The service staff was very friendly and my order was ready when promised. It's a cute shop off the main strip with street parking. The pie was warm when we picked it up, a plus! But the flavor was too sweet for me, and I'm not a big fan of the big sugar crystals on the crust. That being said, it was a decent pie. The birthday cake was the lemon-raspberry flavor. The cake was dry and crumbly, maybe over-baked? Not what I wanted. The flavor was ok but nothing to write home about. Ya gotta get the cake right, Fernleaf! I do appreciate that a shop like this exists and is hard to keep open, so do support them! read more

My partner and I are regulars here. The food and drinks have always been good! The owners are very pleasant and will often have small talk before we order which is lovely. The menu is a little pricey for what you get but I think it is worth it simply for the cozy and warm atmosphere. The inside is usually not full. It's small but not claustrophobic at all. There are a few chairs and a bar for seating options, as well as outdoor seating in the garden. I think most people order and leave. We typically spend a couple hours at the cafe playing cards and enjoying our tasty food. The music selection is great for the space, classical and opera. It is played at a comfortably audible volume and has never been too loud or overwhelming for us. I wanted to make a yelp account just so I could leave a review here and hopefully it helps them out. I would love to see them grow and be successful for years to come! read more

Finally, I found this place last week! A great bakery that was transformed from an old house on a back street of Main Street in Saco. I had a difficult time choosing as everything looked so good. I chose a small lemon raspberry layer cake with yellow cake and whipped cream frosting. I was excited because I love the combo of lemon and raspberry. It was delicious. Not too much frosting or filling, which I love; too many times, I'm scraping the frosting off cakes because there's too much. I also bought a cranberry orange scone that I had for breakfast the next day - yummy!! And three hand pies because I couldn't decide on the flavors - blueberry, apple, and strawberry rhubarb. I ate one each day for lunch. Great crust and filling; just the right amount of sweetness. The place is owned by a husband and wife team; she waited on me and was very friendly. We chatted a bit about the operation and how they came to establish it in Saco. Definitely recommend this bakery. Also, scrumptious looking pies, muffins, and other cakes. They have coffee, too. Nice place to go!@ read more

I bought two things today. The cranberry orange scone had delicious flavor, but it was cold -- not room temperature, as opposed to warm, but cold from being refrigerated. Who wants a cold scone? Not me. I also got a chocolate orange almond cookie. It was delicious. The chocolate was light, and no one flavor predominated. The combination was its own unique flavor. read more

This cute and unassuming place is tucked away on a side street which makes parking super easy. You can smell the deliciousness before even walking in. Inside is super cozy and feels like you're at someone's home and they've baked something just for you. I went in search of a cinnamon roll, but they only sell those on Saturday. And get there early because they sell out, which means they must be amazing. I got a cupcake and it was great. In addition to baked goods, they also offer a huge variety of items: sandwiches, quiches, chicken pot pies, etc. Just try everything! read more

Amazing food, prices, and service. Got the cheeseburger , amazing size and quality of food. Very excited to come back soon

Lots of parking for this place. They have a nice patio outside with tables & chairs. Inside is cozy and right when you walk in you see all the cases of delicious goodies. Being my first time there I didn't know what to get so I asked the lady for her recommendation. I ate the spinach feta quiche while I was there with a hot latte. Brought home a piece of cannoli cake & a mini meat pie. They only thing that was weird was they still had Christmas Poinsettia garland up & lights. The place could use a good cleaning. The food was fantastic though!! read more

Ordered some cupcakes for a birthday. Buttercream was delicious and cake moist. Decided to purchase a Boston cream pie while I was there. The chocolate on top was decadent and the filling was so light and flavorful! I would definitely recommend this bakery. And will definitely return. read more

First time back since the pandemic. Seems to be new owner. I ordered a strawberry with whipped cream cake that I used to get there to take to a dinner party. It was always a hit, but OMG! This was above and beyond. Truly delightful! And a big hit. It disappeared very quickly even though there were other choices on the dessert table. Everyone was very impressed and raving about how good it was. read more

One of the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had. Good coffee and friendly service toooooooo.

A nice little gem found in Saco! Everything we got from here is delicious. The owners and staff there are very friendly, nice and accommodating. The almond croissants are our favorite. We also got a few cakes: strawberry cream, strawberry and blue berry cream and cheesecake. Everything is fresh and delicious!! read more

EVERYTHING is delicious! If you haven't tried the lemon raspberry cake, you're missing out on the best cake I've ever had!

I really enjoyed this place. I was visiting Maine for the weekend and while driving through Saco me and my BF saw a sign pointing us in the way of coffee and a bakery. We ended up here at Fernleaf, and were really pleasantly surprised. They have soooo many different baked goods. Whoopie pies, muffins, cinnamon buns, cookies, etc etc. I could barely choose except for the fact that they had a bacon banana muffin! I ordered that with a spiced apple cider (only offered on Saturdays) and my boyfriend had a cinnamon bun with a caramel latte. He really liked the latte, and we both loved the pastries we ordered. I'm not going to knock a star off for this, but its NOT fast. The coffee drinks take awhile, but I had all the time in the world so it didn't bother me. read more

Best blueberry pie ever! Hands down yummiest pie in the world. If you are wanting to experience Maine blueberries at their best, you MUST try a blueberry pie from Fernleaf! You will have to call them and order it for pick up. They make them fresh to order! Also thy have yummy Whoopie Pies! These are a Maine thing. They are so good! One is big enough for 2 or 3 people. Do yourself a favor and eat here!!! read more

Ordered a pecan pie here for Thanksgiving. Online ordering was easy and pickup was quick (all with a set pickup time and very COVID friendly). I could hardly wait to try this gorgeous looking pie! It was delicious- the filling was perfect and gooey, and the pie crust was nice and thick. Perfect pie:crust ratio! So impressed with this pecan pie. read more

I'm not usually a coffee house kind of gal. First off I don't love coffee (shhh please don't grab your pitchforks and torches I know this is a devilish thing to say but I swear I'm not a witch), but this place is nice. I came here to meet a friend and it's so nice. Very quiet great place to do some work on your laptop and grab a snack or a coffee. I got a mocha latte because I do like espresso from time to time and it was tasty. I didn't try any food but it all looked so good and I can't wait to go back and try a sandwich or cake! I'm certainly going to remember this place if I want to meet a friend for coffee! I'll also be bringing my coffee obsessed husband here soon! Definitely worth a trip. Easy to miss though because of its location! read more

Love this spot. Friendly, talented people sharing sweetness. It's a cozy spot to meet and an easy place to pop in for take-away.

I don't like cake. But Fernleaf Bakery makes the most amazing cakes ever oh my gawd. I wish they could get bigger because their cafe is pretty tight but everything they make is just spectacular. The cake that was given to me on my birthday and I tried out of politeness was their Raspberry Lemon cake - I don't like frosting either but theirs had a homemade whipped cream feeling and it was read more

I needed a last-minute cake and this was the perfect place to call! The gentleman I spoke with on the phone was pleasant to talk to and he quickly reserved the cake, wrote a custom message on the top, and had it ready to go within the hour. Parking was easy and I couldn't resist the chocolate croissant while waiting for my cake to be brought out. So good! Thankful to have a bakery like this around - I'll be back! read more

Fernleaf is a really cute little bakery. When I went it was full of desserts and things to have for lunch. I'm really excited to try as many of their offerings as possible and I'm going to have to work on that. There are a few small tables inside so I guess you could eat there, but it's not very spacious and in the Winter I wonder how bad the draft would be whenever anybody walks in. I picked up some desserts to take home and they were delicious, but I really can't say much about the good looking lunches There are so many interesting little spots to eat in the area that it's hard to go wrong if you're in the area and you're hungry. read more

We love this place! When we come to Maine we make it a point to stop in because the products are so consistently incredible! We buy a large variety of breakfast items but we especially enjoy the lemon blueberry cake and the chocolate croissants. The owners are really nice and it's great to support a local business! read more

Every time I come here, I get the best desserts in the world. Like honestly, the lemon raspberry cake is so great, and the tiramisu is so flavorful. And the creme brûlée is creamy and delicious. And they have the best tea. Honestly, anything you get here, is amazing. read more

Great spot with limited seating for breakfast. I felt like I was time machined to grandmas place with all the China decorations! Coffee brewed fresh - beans are not burnt and you can taste all the notes of the various blends. I got the smoked ham and cheddar croissant which hit the spot. If you are lucky, you can grab a table with the antique wooden chairs with the U backing. Definitely worth a visit! read more

What a surprise gem we found wandering north from Kennebunkport on our way to drop our daughter at camp... Fernleaf is like moving to a new town and having your next door neighbor invite you in for a coffee, and it turns out they are gourmet down home cooks! They bake a single kind of bread each day and we were lucky enough to have sandwiches served on light as air white olive oil bread (egg salad for my husband and rich almondy pesto chicken salad for me). Best of all was my daughters grilled ham and cheese. We accompanied our meal with a whole jar of homemade dill pickles and topped it off with killer cherry pie and meringue cookies. Such a delicious meal, clearly prepared with love... I mean, how often do you look for the people who took your money to say "thank you" before leaving??? Now that's a road trip winner! read more

I am going to give this place another shot in the future because I want to love it. It's super cute and clean. They have a great selection of pastries and the coffee was very good. I got the cinnamon bun. Maybe it was an off day? It tasted as if it were a couple of days old; it was dense, almost hard, with no ooey-gooey-goodness you expect. But everything looked so good so maybe it was old or maybe I chose wrong. I will try again and update! read more

Fernleaf Bakery - Super cute and great selection! - Bakeries Near Me - Saco, Maine

The Russian tea cakes BLOW MY SOCKS OFF. Every time. Sooooo good and a very quaint spot

Foods incrediable ! Very quaint , entiment invirement. The baker & his wife personally prepare all items . Anything you can dream up they can make. Everything they prepare will make your tastebuds soar strait to heaven! They have all the staples of a normal bakery. Yet they also prepare the most exquisite sandwiches. Combinations you normally could not dream up . prices are very reasonable. Indoor & outdoor seating. My sister demanded I try it . Now it is my favorite lunch spot ! I highly recommend the roast beef & chicken pesto ! You will not be disappointed! Bonnebotite ! read more

Great bakery! I recommend: their olive oil herb bread, breakfast sandwiches, and chocolate croissants. Also very friendly people :)

Always have fresh pastries in the morning. They know how to make cappuccinos without burning the milk. The younger people working here are very friendly and give off a warming atmosphere, whereas, the older people aren't very personable. I also like that they do the punch card system on coffee. Parking is very easy to find around the business. Improvement: most bakeries give a discount on the coffee if you bring in your own thermos. I wish this place would do the same. read more

Very cozy and inviting right once you walk in the door. Definitely a local favorite, the owner knew the name of every patron that came in while we were inside. We got a spinach feta quiche, french toast bread pudding, ham and cheese croissant, hot chocolate, and a coffee. The baked goods were pretty stellar, and all made in house. The hot chocolate was really nice as well. It actually tasted like chocolate, and not terribly sweet which is often the case. The coffee was also better than average. I only went for breakfast but I would certainly return for lunch if I were in the area. Give this place a shot, I think you'll be impressed. read more

Super cute place! Stopped in after doing some light shopping and got a delicious feta and spinach croissant and a chai tea latte that was to die for. I would take this over the Starbucks version ANY day (and I love my Starbucks) I will definitely be back, check them out! read more

Fabulous BLT made on olive oil herb bread!! So delicious and comes with a side salad! The jam cookie was delicious also!

Had an incredible almond croissant and a cup of coffee. They serve Carpe Diem brand coffee which I've never had before. It was good! The almond croissant was so good I hadn't tried anything else here until my 5th or 6th visit. Today I had a cinnamon croissant. Had never seen these before. I now have 2 favorites! read more

Husband dies when I get him the homemade whoppy pie. Miss their strawberry cheesecake .

Delicious pastries. Their chai is very sweet and floral, not spicy, sooo yummy. Staff is always the same two people whenever I go in; they're both very nice, friendly people. I stop in whenever I'm in town! read more

Okay guys listen up. I don't even like cake. But these m****s know how to make a cake!! Their raspberry lemon is too good for words! I bought a small one to a baby shower and a woman literally tried to steal the last little piece!! It is my forever birthday cake read more
