The softest and fluffiest cake you will find on the peninsula. Yuri's reminds me of the bakeries you come across when visiting popular cities in Asia: it's well-lit, large seating availability, plenty of table space and yummy treats to go along with your cafe drinks. Counter service moves quickly as most items are ready for immediate enjoyment (besides prepared drinks and items that need to be warmed up). Great to go for a group of people for a casual catch-up or quick coffee before you head into town. read more

I had driven by Yuri's multiple times and thought, "that looks like a great place, but where am I going to park?"...and on the day I planned to meet up with someone there, I got SUPER lucky and scored a spot across the street within minutes! Once parking was out of the way, I walked into Yuris and was really drawn to the menu and the wide open and sunny space. There were a lot of delicious looking macarons, but I ended going with an almond croissant and a bag of tiny chocolate chip cookies to take home. Also a latte. The latte and croissant were great, but even better was the back room with extra seating, giving me and my companion plenty of privacy for our conversation. I am often so daunted by some of the squishy spaces in town to meet someone for coffee when you need to have a real conversation. Yuri's is not like that at all, plenty of space, plenty of sunshine, strong wifi and great food. read more

The exterior belies the beauty and sophistication of the interior design. Plus, it's huge, there's tons of seating. The service is fast and efficient, desserts are outstanding, and they have some savory items. I'm a sucker for Asian style hot dogs and Yuri's is the best I've had, 100x better than Paris Baguette! Their cheesecakes are super light, maybe weighing 3 Oz. We got one to share but ended up getting more. Everything we ordered was top quality read more

Went on a donut tour. This was the most incredible stop. The donut with fresh cream and red bean paste was light and delectable. I have never had such an incredible explosion of flavor. I am going to have to stop in again to get another one the way out of town! This donut will be one I dream about. read more

Let me tell you, it is not called Yuri's desserts for no reason. The food is always very good. Here we tried the red bean cream donut, and additionally some macaroons because they had a little new year special. The lighting and vibe of this place is one of the best in Portland. I would collage in the back table, the sun in the afternoon is perfect. They have incredible matcha, but the pastries are so good. I have had the almond croissant and it is very well made. read more

Yuri’s Desserts - Strawberry cake - Desserts Near Me - Portland, Maine

I don't know how to put this lightly, but these were the best f*****g pastries/donuts I've ever had in my entire life. I take my coffee and pastry game seriously--I love finding new spots and trying sweet treats wherever I go. A local recommended this place, and we're so glad they did. Even after a full meal, we somehow managed to eat everything. Nothing went to waste. Just look at my partner's face, every last bite was worth it. Let the pastries speak for themselves. read more

I remember when Yuri was doing cake pick ups at the house! It's awesome to see their space. The strawberry cake is delicious! So light, fluffy, and not too sweet. I love to order this for birthdays! The macarons are the perfect texture. My favorite is the pistachio. The space itself is super airy and bright. It's a good place to get any work done or meet with friends for coffee. read more

Cream donut. I don't like donuts, but this has made me a donut believer. Light, thin perfectly fried dough, sweetened red bean and cream. So light and fluffy. We bought 3. I was a bit meh about the mango tart. It wasn't extraordinary considering the price tag. Fresh, perfectly ripe mangos, but found the tart crust a tad bland, and could use something more. Hoping they will expand their menu but will be back and rave about their cream donuts. Take my money! read more

I've been waiting for Yuri to open for MONTHS and came on their third day! My short review is that it met every expectation of a standard chain Korean bakery, and did not fall short. From their opening rumblings, the owners have lots of experience at tous les jours and Paris baguette -- both Korean bakery chains that can be found in the US. You'll find standard lattes and drinks, laminated French croissants and viennoiseries, but with an Asian twist, which means lots of cream and fruits. Things are pricy -- a patbingsu is almost $18-20 here, but the ambiance is light and airy and the treats delicious. They open til 4 most days and 6 on Friday and Saturday! read more

This strawberry croissant was the most delicious pastry I've had in a long time. It was perfectly golden, slightly crispy on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside. The cream filling was light, not overly sweet, and the strawberries were fresh and flavorful. True pastry perfection. The French pastry school diploma on the wall adds context to the bakery at Yuri's. We tried Yuri's on a Saturday afternoon at around 1:30. We were able to walk right up to the counter and order with only one or two parties ahead of us. The person who waited on us patiently answered several questions. We ordered a couple of coffees and the croissant. There were several empty shelves in the cases, but there were still macarons, chocolate dipped croissants, strawberry croissants, some strawberry cake by the slice, a couple of whole cakes, and a few other items. They were out of sugar packets for coffee and were offering Stevia so I had mine with just half and half and it was fine. The cafe was larger than expected, filled with natural light, and really bustling, there was only one empty table. There are currently no vegan pastry options, it would be wonderful if they could add a couple. However, a solid five stars. read more

What's not to love about this place?? I've been following this business on instagram for a while and couldn't wait until they opened. There's plenty of parking nearby which is a plus. Entering Yuri's, I never realized how spacious and big this cafe was. I was instantly greeted with the nicest staff. I got a strawberry matcha latte, twisted donut, and a macaroon set for to-go. Everything I got was delicious. There's WiFi and plenty of seating to chat or get some work done. I will definitely be back! read more

Although I stand by Yuri's delicious treats and drinks, as well as their immaculate and bright space (with wifi!) I do wish they had a few savory options. There are times that I come out of there with a major headache because I've just consumed enough sugar/caffeine to take out a small child. I also feel like the staff/cashier aren't friendly and usually just stare at you in silence instead of saying anything akin to 'how are you?' or 'what can I get for you?' which I find strange and makes me not want to frequent this place. read more

Newly opened in early 2025, this bright, spacious dessert and drink shop is adorable and seems to be a big hit for those with a sweet tooth and/or those looking for a calm ambience for a "third space". There's a variety of Asian inspired pastries, rolls, buns, classic croissants, giant macarons etc. and familiar drinks as well as trendy matcha pairings. Plenty of bistro tables to catch up with a friend or go on a cute date, tiny couches in the middle of the main room, and a back room with more of a studious vibe and a long table great for a larger group. We're visiting from out of town but imagine that locals and visitors alike would enjoy this space. Wishing Yuri and team an amazing first year! read more

This place has excellent vibes, sun drenched, roomy, welcoming. High quality coffee. Staff is always so friendly and answers any questions. By far the best classic croissant I've had in town. My cinnamon brown sugar iced latte was perfectly made, not overly sweet, with great coffee flavor. Honestly the pastries are very high quality and for that alone I'll continue to return, but they're winning in every other category too so that only sweetens the pot. I wish there were more free parking options for local residents but alas that's just the area and not their fault. I love Yuri's and will be back again soon! read more

Yuri’s Desserts - Glass display - Desserts Near Me - Portland, Maine

Stopped in to get a birthday trip while visiting Portland. When we walked in, I was impressed with how open and airy everything was, and the selection of desserts laid out in a brightly lit display case. I opted to get a slice of cheesecake for there and a couple macaron to go. The cheesecake was decent but not great. While it was airy in the way I expect from a Korean-style cheesecake, it seemed not that fresh. It wasn't stale but the consistency was off. It tasted great, but was a bit of a letdown as my birthday cake. I did enjoy the macaron later though! There was plenty of seating and despite it being the afternoon on a random Thursday, there was a steady amount of customers. I think it's worth stopping in, but perhaps it's worth asking how fresh the pastries and cakes are. read more

We came here after reading all the great reviews, and it definitely lived up to the hype. Their baked goodies are absolutely delicious--the cake slices have that melt-in-your-mouth texture. They're located on the 1st floor of a building with a separate entrance and stairs, so we had to carry our stroller up, which was a bit tricky. But aside from that, it's a great spot for sweet treats and totally worth the visit. read more

The most exciting addition to Portland in a long time!! Let me tell you--I was expecting it to be all style and no substance, but the croissants were genuinely good. Crispy, flaky, and stuffed to the gills with whipped cream. I also tried a few bites of my sis-in-law's mango cream cake, which was absolutely lovely. I just wish it was a bigger slice, but always think that about cake. I also had a matcha latte, which was the best matcha I've had since Japan! My bro-in-law also enjoyed their red bean donut. We all loved the beautiful interior and comfy seating. It's exactly the kind of space we need in this city. I can't wait to come back when it's warmer to try their bingsu. read more

i heard a lot about yuri since the month it's been open, and i'm glad to say it met our expectations! portland was certainly lacking a korean bakery. the space is gorgeous, and has plenty of tables for chatting or studying. for food we got a chocolate croissant, a strawberry-cream croissant, the mango cream-cake, and a sugar donut. all delicious! for drinks, we got an iced matcha latte and a brown sugar-cinnamon latte. also great. they serve my favorite brand of coffee (counter-culture). the staff were super friendly too! definitely a great place to study, socialize, or just enjoy the delicious food! read more

I am so happy that this place exists! I love desserts (cakes, pastries, tarts, donuts...) but I can be quite picky about them too. When I saw they had a fresh strawberry cream cake I was very excited since it is my favorite but I hardly ever find a place that sells them or that I'm satisfied with... I was a bit worried I might end up disappointed but that quickly vanished with my first bite. The cake was so delicious! Fluffy and the sweetness well balanced! The cream and strawberries were fresh and delicious! After eating the cake I got another one to go along with the tiramisu! Also, the staff was friendly and the place is spacious and cozy! I am so looking forward to coming back ^_^ read more

the interior of this place is sunsoaked and wonderful - it is the prime place to do work in the winters in maine when you need sunshine and to be left alone. the red bean donuts, the mango cream cake, and the strawberry matcha are my notable favorites. service is prompt and cafe style ordering with wooden trays. runs you probably 15$ for a latte and treat but it's definitely a standout for portland cafe/bakeries. read more

Went here a couple times and each time I was disappointed. The drinks are meh, the cakes were dry, the macarons were fine but definitely couldn't make up for it. Additionally, pretty sure the owners are Trumplicans as I've seen them liking and following conservative content on my feeds so that may explain the bad vibes I got from this place. Wouldn't dare support a company that supports harmful views to minorities and the like in this current climate. There a much better places to get desserts in the city. read more

The macarons are amazing and come in really special flavors! Such incredible talent, Portland is lucky to have them!

Wow! Absolutely gorgeous inside very modern and clean! They were quick with their service and friendly. Me and my husband LOVED the strawberry croissant, it was perfection! The macaroons were not our favorite (it was our first time trying them) but that's our own personal preference, the lemon one was the only good one it had a lemon puree in the middle of the frosting absolutely delicious. Only reason why I give 4 stars is because the lattes had so much ice and barely any drink because of it, it also made it difficult to get the straw through all the ice and drink the bottom. read more
