We stopped in and got their lemon crème cornetto - which was tart, flaky and PHENOMENAL! Our bed and breakfast served sourdough bread at breakfast and OMG It was the BEST bread that was airy yet crusty with great taste and texture!! read more

Solo Pane e Pasticceria - Lemon crème cornetto - Bakeries Near Me - Bath, Maine

Absolutely adorable little pastry/bread shop in the most unexpected place...Bath is small as it is but this little shop would be welcomed in the biggest of cities and would easily compete with the best to do it. I just wanted to try everything because not only was it presented beautifully, it was baked with love and that is very evident. Start your day with any variety of bread, lunch is covered there as well, and make sure you make it by 7pm for a delicious gelato for desert. Why the 4-star after all this gushing? Their espresso is inexcusably bad for having such a high bar for everything else they're doing here. Clean that up, and this place goes from being really good, to untouchable. read more

Highest quality pastries, breads, and desserts, plus pizza slices, frittatas, and sandwiches. Very cute interior, with exposed brick, glass cases, beautifully displayed food. Right next door (connected on the inside) is a seating area for eating in, where they also serve gelato and coffees. This place is a gem. I wish it was a little closer to my home, but now that I know about it, I will stop in every time I go to or through Bath. We tried several items, ate some there, and brought some home. We tried the pizza, a veggie frittata, and 3 Cornetti which is an Italian version of croissants, slight denser, just as flakey, just a buttery, maybe even more delicious. We tried the almond, the raspberry and the chocolate...all were incredible. They also have a nice selection of bottled Italian soft drinks. I tried the rose water. The fragrance and flavor of rose was amazing. Will definitely be back. read more

I want to keep this review extremely simple by just saying you absolutely need to make it to this bakery. It's easily 5 stars with their warm environment, artisan pastries and breads and craft coffee. Not the mention any time I visit I am greeted by the sweetest staff. Such a gem for Bath! read more

Wow! The pastries here are indeed divine. We had a cinammon roll, chocolate eclaire and a cannoli. The eclaire was surprisingly our least favorite and the cinnamon roll was a clear winner. Coffee is good too,though I don't like dark roast for my espresso - and this is what they serve,so something to have in mind and perhaps order a macchiato instead ;) service is very quick as you have different ppl to pick the pastries,make coffee and pay for it all. There's few tables outside but it's right on the street so not the best if you want to eat your treats enjoying the quiet and fresh air...however we had no choice travelling with a pup. All in all,lovely place,I'd come back again when in the area for sure! read more

So lucky to have a place like this in mid-coast Maine. It's worth the drive from an hour away (we drive down from Rockland). Exquisite pastries, so many to choose from. Fantastic breads. Delicious pizza slices. The owner is amazing, so knowledgeable when it comes to exactly how sweet to make something... not too sweet! He's Italian and this is the best you can do without making the trip to Italy. (ok or Boston or NY) Grazie molto! read more

What a beautiful and intimate little bakery! Parking was a breeze with plenty of street parking as well as lots nearby. The Sponge cake was in fact spongy filled with a soft custard. The dipiomatico was essentially a cake version of baklava which was great! Both the plum jam croissant and chocolate croissant were buttery and flaky. The chocolate was my preferred of the two. The breads are baked fresh in which we tried their milk bread and semolina bread. I loved the texture and taste of all their items. Staff were more than happy to help with smile on their faces. Would love to come again and recommend others to as well! read more

Great coffee, friendly staff, and quite literally the BEST CHOCOLATE CROISSANT I have eaten in my entire life, ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD (and I've had them everywhere). Big, flaky, just the right amount of filling, and piping hot straight from the oven. I am dead. DEAD. The whole rest of my day is going to be wonderful because of this croissant. I was only in town overnight but am seriously considering driving the five hours back here every morning just for this pastry. read more

Haven't been into Solo Pane in a few years...wow! These bites transported me right back to Italy. Enjoyed some cornetti alongside a smooth espresso! We will be back! read more

A slice of Italy in the Midcoast. Solo Pane e Pasticceria transported us to the European bakeries we often fall in love with during our travels. From the moment we walked inside, we were taken aback by the smell of fresh bread and the dozens of picture-perfect pastries. My partner had a savory snack, and I had a yummy pastry filled with hazelnut butter that was just incredible. We were both impressed by the quality, presentation, and taste. At $5-7 on average for a pastry, they aren't necessarily the cheapest, but they are worth it. Add a coffee from their dedicated coffee bar, and you'll get an authentic Italian breakfast for around $10. I also heard they do aperitifs... I so wish I lived closer! The "worst" thing about Solo Pane is having to decide what you'll order -- everything looked divine. read more

Lovely bakery. The selection of savory is smaller than their sweets but I tried the Margarita and It was pretty amazing. I'm pretty sure It was on focaccia bread. Very light and just good! The persons behind the counter were nice and helped me with my questions. Their bathroom was clean. And they had seating indoor and outdoors. I would come back to try all their sweet things. read more

Solo Pane e Pasticceria - Strawberry cornetti, spiced chai - Bakeries Near Me - Bath, Maine

Was in Bath recently for a wedding and was desperate need of a coffee and breakfast snack and this place hit the spot. Hardest part was selecting a pastry, they all looked amazing. Had some croissants and cornetti, so beautiful, buttery, and tasty. Their lattes were perfection, and they also have nondairy milk options. Staff is very friendly as well. Prices are steep, paid over $30 for two lattes and two pastries. read more

I had wanted to like this place, but it turned out to be a disappointing experience--one of many. A couple of weeks ago, there was a kids fair on the street in front of the business, and they were selling, at best, meh cold pizza for $9 a slice. Today I went in to see that renovations had been done and gelato had been added. I waited 15 minutes, timed it to be sure, had several workers walk by, and said nothing. Finally, one came to the counter and told me I had to order at the register, which was completely visible from where I was standing at the gelato counter with two coworkers chatting there, this on top of blocking off parking spaces out front partially blocking the sidewalk just screams ignorance very loudly. read more

A bit hit or miss with the croissants. Sometimes dry or burnt. You can't beat Belleville. If only the staff could be friendlier. You feel a bit rushed and you hardly ever get a smile. We once said thank you at the register and the lady said "yep". Wow. Great pastries overall. Overpriced as any such bakeries. read more

Great ambiance and the pastries were wonderful! Also had a tasty Latte. We had never been before and the location was convenient.

The croissant filled with lemon cream is my favorite, I have ordered it every time, but my husband loves the vanilla and we both cannot stop thinking about all the other exciting options they have to offer that look just as fresh and delicious. They have gelato and coffees too, both are great and served up quickly. Friendly service. My favorite place to go for a treat. read more

I'd give it 10 stars if I could. Sweet and savory Italian pastries so good that it impressed a room of teenagers. Personal fave was the variety of focaccia -- I tried as many as I could get my hands on and was impressed by all. As good as anything I ever had in Florence. Highly recommended but get there early as they sell out fast. read more

An Italian bakery with the absolute best pastries and bread in Bath. They have lots of different cornetti (flaky, buttery pastries similar to croissants), slab-style pizza, a variety of breads, and delicious little tarts called cestini in several flavors. The coffee drinks are strong and delicious, the service is friendly. You can tell whoever runs this place has a true passion and gift for flavors and food. Solo Pane is a bit more expensive than the other options in town, but the quality matches the price. My one suggestion is that I'd like to see more scones and muffins. I know those aren't specifically Italian, but that's often what I'm craving when I'm hungry for a baked good. They usually have one scone flavor, but by the time I get there they are sold out. I would also like to see a couple of more wholesome options offered like perhaps a homemade granola bar or a whole grain morning glory muffin. The seating is very tight and not comfortable for staying awhile because it's a small space, so if you're meeting a friend there, I'd recommend taking your food to the waterfront if it's warm out, where there are plenty of benches. read more

I lobe this cafe! I'm anxious to know when they are opening their annex next door. Will it be similar or a new concept, like more of a lunch/ dinner menu? read more

Wonderful bakery! The pastries are fantastic. I highly recommend!! This is coming from a pastry fanatic. The baked goods are nyc level!!

Ordered a dozen cannolis Over priced, under filled I am embarrassed to bring them on Christmas Eve read more

I have visited Solo Pane several times now. The staff is always welcoming and helpful. The cases are full of pastries that I have not had before, but each one has been very flakey and tasty as I make may way through their offerings. The bread is amazing and fresh. I do not drink coffee, but other guests rave about it. They have recently added some outdoor seating. The ambiance is like a cafe in Italy. read more

Lovely bakery with sweet and savory options. The creativity and attention to detail is beautiful, and you can tell the long hours that went into each item! I wish I could take home one of everything. Already can't wait to come back! read more

We are fortunate to have a bakery like this nearby. Our first visit today we were very impressed at the assortment of based goods. Sourdough bread, baguettes, loaves, pastries and focaccia pizza.

Probably okay under ideal circumstances but my girlfriend got a lobster tail and they failed to fill it. My crostini (Italian version of croissant) was good considering it was made much earlier in the day. $14 for two pastries and one was just a shell! Not going to give them 1 star but kinda sucks read more

Solo Pane is such an incredible bakery. Their pastries and breads are such great quality and it's obvious that a ton of work and creativity go into everything they bake. I really hope the community supports Solo. Running a first class bakery means long hours and hard physical work and I commend you on your efforts. For Yelp reviewers that leave reviews of bakeries based upon their prices should go back to Walmart and buy their bakery goods. For starters, try making a laminated dough from scratch and perhaps you'll have a little more respect for fine bakers. read more

The best Italian bakery i've ever frequented in Maine--and one of the best i've ever visited outside of Italy! The aroma when you enter is just like a Roman Pasticceria with a number of exquisite biscotti & cornetti options. The coffee is superb! The white pizza/focaccia is as good as any I ever had living in & travelling to Italy over the past 30+ years. read more

I went in here looking for rolls. I ordered a few other things to try and it was $92 and they ask for a tip. I just about walked out when I saw the price. Ridiculous prices, not clearly marked. The food was "ok" but not anywhere near worth the prices! Definitely will not be back! I know a great Italian Bakery in Lewiston that has just as good or better products for less money. Only rich coastal elites and tourists will like this place. read more

We stopped to check this place out last week and bought a couple of delicious croissants. Definitely quite pricey. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pastries and breads looked fabulous. But at that price point, I don't think I'll be a frequent customer. read more

Grazie mille, Nylaina, for your superb advice and help, and to Simone per un cornetto stupendo e uno stirato fanstastico. Still soaring on recollections of savoring Simone's creations and yesterday's time in Solo Pane, the place in which I can get closest to Rome on this side of the Atlantic. Bravissimi a tutti. read more

We have visited the bakery several times. Absolutely 5 star on the pastries and pizza and other wonderful treats. I would give it a 1 star for customer service as the individuals working the check out are not friendly at all. I keep thinking that it will get better, but it never does. It would just be nice if they greeted you with a smile or said thank you for visiting. read more
