Shady Tree Homestead is a hidden gem that I became aware of at a recent gun show in Augusta. Josh…read moreand Amy moved to Maine a within the last few years, is starting to build their farm, but are just as known for their bakery goods. They don't have an official retail store, but they have a heated shack that sits at the front of the property which houses all their freshly baked goods, freeze dried candies and farm fresh eggs. The shack is not manned and is trusted to the honor system. Baked goods are reasonably priced at $4. Fresh-baked bread is $6. Freeze dried candies are $3 and $6 depending on size. Granted these are prices at the writing of this review which could change if costs of goods increases. My wife and I had their freeze dried skittles which are phenomenal. The puff pastries and cream horns are incredibly yummy and not overly sweet.You can contact them and ask whether something is in stock or if they can set a few aside. Drops are done regularly and I recommend you follow their Facebook page to know when new drops occur. Facebook page is their main page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100080368232894

We ordered two pies for our Maine wedding--strawberry rhubarb and classic apple--and they were…read moreeverything we hoped for and more. The crust on both was perfectly flaky, buttery, and absolutely delicious. The strawberry rhubarb struck that just right balance of sweetness with a bright citrusy lift, and the apple was the kind of all-American comfort you dream about for a fall wedding. We picked the pies up in person, and Apple Shed was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Planning from Arizona could have been tricky, but they were so accommodating and incredibly helpful, making the whole process seamless from afar. Truly outstanding pies and equally outstanding people. Highly recommend!

Excellent fresh pastries can be purchased here. Tons of variety for your taste buds and sweet tooth.read more

I live in Saco, Maine and came into Lewiston to meet up with a good friend of mine. He told me…read moreabout this awesome bakery and how everything is so good there. He knew I loved chocolate eclairs, and told me this is the spot to go! His words and enthusiasm about this bakery did not disappoint! I bought one eclair and took a bite of it in the car and had to run back in to buy one more for the road for when I got home later. It was perfect. I will have to go back and try some other desserts or have him bring them to me next time he's down my neck of the woods. They have a great wide range of desserts to choose from and I guarantee you will be satisfied.

We drove past on a Friday afternoon in mid-October and the stand was loaded with a variety of really well wrapped pies and whoopie pies. All of the ingredients clearly labeled, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, everything contained dairy and eggs. Bummer! I for sure would have bought some baked goods if there had been any vegan options available whatsoever (hint hint, nudge nudge; they [The Omnivores] won't even notice if you made something without dairy and eggs, but we [The Vegans]? We check every label. We'd know. We'd buy. We'd appreciate.). We did get a jar of blueberry jam for $10 and it's delicious! There's absolutely nothing like homemade jam your neighbor made, and that it's *such* a big jar for *such* a good price *and* they take Venmo?! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I wish I had bought a jar of strawberry-rhubarb too!

My wife and I stopped by this cute bakery in Bath, ME for coffee. The espresso (Cafe Americano)…read morewas excellent. Overall, the service is very good - they will call your name out when the coffee is ready. The pastries looked amazing - but we stopped by just for coffee. Overall, this bakery is a fantastic place to stop if you're looking for coffee. In addition, the town of Bath is charming and highly walkable. You'll see a nice mix of locals, retirees, and visitors walking through town. If you plan to visit Maine Maritime Museum in the morning, it's worth your time to visit "downtown" Bath for lunch or coffee.

It's in an old bank building on a darling street that you need to stroll down. Once inside, we were mesmerized by the delectable treats in the cases and by the bakers toiling away in front of the open vault doors. We ordered a cinnamon roll (possibly the BEST we have ever had!) and an apple cream cheese danish (FILLED with creamy cheese and apple slices!). We also got a loaf of olive sourdough bread that we had with dinner. So good. Truly wish we had bought more!! The black coffee was smooth and the Mocha Latte was like drinking melted chocolate (perhaps a bit too much for me). Absolutely recommend a stop here even if it's out of your way.
