Reviews of The Baker's Bench
Great sandwiches and bread!
The pecan and lemon bars are delightful.
A very local feel inside.
All this being said, I have a few qualms:
They never answer their phones!!!
Can't find a menu anywhere other than in store. (I will help you all out and post a photo of it here.)
Customer services is okay.
No online presence.
Don't get the cookies.
the very best Croissants anywhere. go, now get one of everything! lunch sandwiches are on fresh bread with delish combinations of flavors.
YES this place knows how to do pastries.
Their pain au chocolat and savory croissants are flakey buttery crafted with care.
Their croissants are similarly amazing.
Got their ham egg and cheese, i was a bit disappointed the eggs weren't seasoned and the cheese was American. But hey for $4 it's a huge sandwich, definitely fills you up.
Thankful to find a place with a savory pastry even just the one! Would absolutely come back here. So rare to find a place like this. Also they are super affordable.
They offer a great variety of pastries and other savory delights. The perfect pairing to your weekends mid morning pick-me-up. You cannot go wrong stopping in, there is something for everyone.
They have the best breakfast sandwich ever. Lots of other baked goodies as well.if you have a sweet tooth try the creamed horn.
Really the best croissant I've had. Tried ham and cheese and raspberry with cream cheese. The raspberry was just off the charts. Delicate pastry, baked to perfection and filling was both generous and delicious. They certainly don't hold back- everything is oversized here! The cream puff was filled with real cream and true custard- best I've had in an age. Cream horns are what took me there, and they are enormous and lived up to the word on the street! If I had any negative, it would be just not so friendly or helpful staff- I still gave 5 stars as it was packed and very busy on a Saturday . (This is taken using a white DINNER plate, just to show size!!)
Nostalgic bakery you dreamt of as a kid. Cases full of chocolate brownies, cream puffs and delicious sweet treats. The bread is delicious - prairie is my favorite. Always worth a stop for breakfast sandwich on bread or croissant or for lunch. Westbrook club anyone? Roast turkey for the win!
They're nice, fast, reasonably priced and delicious! Baked stuff and sandwiches are all fire, you can't go wrong. I've been frequenting this place for a few years now and I don't think I've every been disappointed except when they are out of something. I guess I'm not a huge fan of the plastic containers they use either. Check out this gem!
Fantastic little place to grab some breakfast goodies. Scones, croissants, pastries and other great treats freshly made every day. I love going here to meet friends and catch up over a cup of coffee or just grabbing a few goodies to bring home and share with the family.
Best bakery I've ever been too
Been wanting to try the Bakers Bench.
Yummy stuff.
Looking forward to going back. Want to try the chicken pot pie.
What a gem. Hole in the wall bakery with some amazing pastries and desserts. Everything is great, and the people are wonderful. Very inexpensive, too.
Wonderful local place for some really excellent selections. The lobster tail rivals those found at some famous places in in Boston in Little Italy! Danish and croissants are prepared perfectly and are delicious. Even offer some great selections for sandwiches. Hard working owner and very pleasant staff. Highly recommend
We love this bakery! We adore the tasty croissants, danishes, and other baked goodies. But our hearts were stolen by the chicken pot pies. Baker’s Bench chicken pot pies are preternaturally consistent in the deliciousness of their flaky crust and flavorful filling. Often in today’s challenging world, when one requires the simple support of reliable comfort food, the “chicken pot pie” hawked by lesser talented establishments will seduce would-be customers with the illusion of a full pie, but like a disingenuous grifter, include a mere thin crust as only a top (the facade of a pie) with thin gravy and an “Oliver Twist workhouse meager portion” of chicken. Thankfully, our world includes the virtuous people at Baker’s Bench. They understand the need for the full pie experience (bespoke, handmade, delicious crust on the top, bottom and sides), paired with reassuringly, reliably satisfying filling. I’m happy to state publicly that my life, and the morale of our household, are immeasurably more satisfying thanks to the master craftspeople at Westbrook’s Baker’s Bench and the weekly Wednesday pie offering. We will return repeatedly.
Great family owned bakery to get your favorites.
Visiting friends in Portland ....we drove up from
Philly and were looking for pastries to eat for dessert! Ordered a bunch of stuff... great cream horns and the cinnamon bun was the BEST I’ve ever had!!!! Lunch sandwiches were huge and the right price and delicious. Thumbs up!
Great pastries and the chicken salad is amazing
I’m gonna start out with wow sandwiches were awesome bread is excellent the dessert I ended up buying a half a dozen of different cupcakes I would definitely recommend the bakers bench you won’t be disappointed
Love love love this place ❤️ Amazing service and the best breakfast ham, egg & chz on a freshly baked croissant in Westbrook.
They make the most amazing Thanksgiving sandwich! Cream horns are my fav, but everything they make is delish!! I have recommended them to everyone I know and have not heard a bad thing yet. Also, have brought assorted pastries to multiple gatherings over the years with rave reviews each time!
We love the sandwiches and baked goods. The club sandwich is one of our favorites. I do wish they had a menu of the different bakery items available with pricing and more of an online presence. There is only a couple parking spots in front, we usually park on a side road.
I am so thankful a bakery like this still exist. They have one of the best cinnamon rolls I've had in a long time. I crave them on the regular now. Visually tantalizing and scrumptious cupcakes-Boston cream cupcakes! Sandwiches made to order on their thick sliced homemade bread. So good! Do wish parking was better... But they are so worth it!
As Botto's pulls -out of the pastry ,& confections portion of their business...
Displacing the loyal following they had gained the last 5 years ...
The Baker's Bench is on their game ,
And gladly takes us in.
I am happy once more,,
& supporting this local business
Week+in / Week+ou😜
This place is awesome! Friendly people and absolutely the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had. Other baked goods look and smell delicious too.
Wonderful little bakery with fresh, delicious sandwiches, pastries, and more. Seasonally, they have chicken pot pies that are incredible! The cream horns are definitely my favorite, but I haven't tried anything here I didn't love. :)
Haven't tried everything there but went twice sweets are yummy breakfast sandwich(bacon egg&cheese) is awesome & huge if you get it on croissant. Tuna fish sandwich was excellent as well. Would definitely go back a third & fourth etc...
Best cinnamon rolls this side of Fiddle Camp in August. But they are available most days but often sell out. Other great treats too! Breakfast and Deli sandwiches are made to order and great as well.
I've been driving down from Brunswick for many years. Trust me: the real cream, butter and other quality ingredients make it worth the trip. The prices are very reasonable. I can't say enough about Diane and her professional staff.
We were a little late for lunch, around 1PM. They were out of all but the wheat bread and Prarie bread. Also out of Roast Beef and the Thanksgiving sandwich. That aside, the Pastrami on wheat with Swiss was very good. Very lean, nice salami. The pastries are amazing. Service was very friendly and helpful.
Walked in and immediately was hit by the smell of deliciousness. The cinnamon buns are huge and I am soooo glad because they are like nothing I've ever tasted before. The croissants, are AMAZING! I'm telling you if you ever the chance, go because, you'll never forget that wonderful place of awesomeness.
Love the food and the staff is very friendly!
The cream horns and cupcakes are amazing! One day I will try something else ;-)
This is the best kept secret in town. Other than parking, I encourage you to find something wrong with this place. Delicious, monstrous baked goods on the cheap! Cream horns will sell out, so get there early! A wide array of flavors and types... it will be hard to make a decision. Grab a sandwich if your looking for lunch. You will not be disappointed. Fresh ingredients from top to bottom. Make this a regular stop for your daily commute.
My girlfriend and I come in here here quite often. The service has always been great and the food quality has always been exceptional. The bakers bench has a great review from us. We will not go to any other bakery’s in the surrounding area. Thanks guys!
I always stop in when I am south. Coffee rolls sell out by 9am and are to die for. Creme horns maintain crispness so long it suggests a pact with the devil. Excellent grab and go lunch croissants. Lovely owners. Down with Panera. Support Baker's Bench.
Always GREAT bread & desserts!
I really enjoyed my roast beef sandwich on marble rye. The meat seemed fresh and full and full of flavor, while the bread was soft and light. They also have some deserts like cakes and stuff. Great little shop
Great breakfast. We had croissants the first day and then the next day we got sandwiches and they are great. Service dog friendly and I am really thankful for that they know what they are doing!
Great cookies, whoopie pies, puff pastries, croissants. I haven't tried their sandwiches but I've heard they're good. Wonderful staff. I only wish they made doughnuts, too.
I love going to Baker’s Bench and pick up their awesome pastries. Their creme horns are fresh and their crossiants are to die for. They have a great variety and all are perfect. Go in and enjoy the goodness.
The bakers bench bakery items are baked fresh daily. They follow CDC guidelines. Very good place to go when your looking for a treat.
Stopped for lunch and enjoyed a terrific turkey club on their home made bread. Actual roasted turkey breast, thick sliced, crisp vegetables and even tomato with decent flavor in the middle of winter in Maine. We usually stop for their baked goods/desserts, but don't overlook them for lunch too.
The food quality is excellent. There's usually a line and they keep it moving. The staff is very nice and accommodating. They have savory sandwiches on fresh baked bread. I enjoy that it is kneaded and baked right behind the counter.
Food is amazing. Service is awful. To call and order something feels like I'm inconveniencing them. Curt, snappy responses... and not just a one time thing. I know I should be happy enough just getting the delicious sandwiches but I usually feel awful/guilty after ordering from them.
The cream puffs are so good they remind of my early years when I was considered a 'cream puff'. Their turnovers are the real deal but I try my best to resist because I've 'turned-over' a new leaf by paring down my pastry addiction.
If you want the best creme horn or whoopie pie this is where you want to be. I have tried many other yummy sweets and never been disappointed. My only disappointment is that they are so good the often run out of whoopie pies and creme horns lol. ❤
Everything that I love about a neighborhood bakery is experienced here. Great food, cozy location, and friendly service! Danish, cream horns, and cinnamon raisin bread are fantastic!
Raspberry and Cheese Danish, OMG!! Love everything they do at this bakery. Get there early as they sell out fast.
Food is decent, when they have everything in stock. Desserts are quality too. Parking is a nightmare. Avoid rush hour times like the plague, if you get lucky enough to find a spot to park, someone will park behind you and block you in.
The croissant breakfast sandwich is massive and so tasty
Amazing creme horns, cinnamon buns as big as your head, delicious pies and bread and sandwiches. The Westbrook Club is my favorite. Any sandwich with turkey is not deli turkey slices, it is carved chunks of turkey breast.
The less-than-perfect score is because, on a couple of occasions, they've gotten my bread wrong when we've called in a large order. I usually forgive them because all of their breads are so delicious, anyway.
Best bakery Ever! Owners are amazing really. The most delicious desserts. And amazing sandwiches. It’s 100% the best
Holy turkey! The turkey is so fresh, tasty, and down right amazing. Felt like my mom just made a fresh whole turkey and then made me a homemade sandwich. The best turkey sandwich I've had. The oat bread was sooo fresh and delicious. The tomatoes had lots of flavor and tasted like they were picked fresh for my sandwich. I'm an out of towner and I'd consider relocating to Maine from Chicago just for this sandwich. Highly recommend. Also, the cinn.bon was just as tasty!
This bakery is gosh damn delicious!!! I ordered a Reuben and my oh myyy I was literally speechless,.. it was amazing! Definitely an underplayed deli/bakery but I suggest if you haven't been then you seriously need too!! 🙏🏻🤗 …
No nonsense bakery. Not a place to cozy up and relax. This is a place to get amazingly rich and tasty baked goods. Cream horns are ridiculously delicious and my wife's favorite.
Best croissant and pain au chocolat you can get out of France. Their bread is outstanding !
Best bakery in Westbrook area. We love the lemon bars, raspberry brownies, and mousse bombs. The sandwiches are great as well, Thanksgiving sandwich is delicious.
Amazing quality sandwiches and bakery items. Cream Horns here are the stuff of legends. Parking is a bit tough here but the food is so worth every moment.
Their raspberry turnovers are amazing. Must have!!
Wonderful old fashioned bakery with great fresh sandwiches particularly house baked turkey
Probably the best sandwhiches i've ever had. The bakery though is even better. I bought 4 items and within hours the family had eaten it all. Keep up the great work everyone.
Delicious sandwiches, filling portions and sinfully good baked goods. Lunch rush is crazy sometimes. Parking is hard to get but I can't take anything away from the review for that.
Friendly staff eager to get a fresh pastry or specialty sandwich ready for you. Bread options, and variety of drinks. Busy place so you know the items are good!
Pasteries, desserts, sandwiches all excellent! The staff is wonderful! I recommend this place very highly!!!
My top four favorite items:
Cinnamon coffee roll
Pecan twist
Cranberry scone
Almond croissant
You WILL soon find yourself leaving with large boxes of everything. You must exercise restraint.
Awesome pastry shop and bakery. Anything I tried there so far was fantastic. Excellent place to grab a sandwich also.
Great bread, cupcakes and creampuffs to die for!
Best kept secret in Maine. Love their cream horns and other baked goods. Try their club sandwiche for lunch. Yummy
Best bakery in Westbrook. Very nice staff. Everything is better than you imagined.
Friendly staff and sandwiches are really good. I’m definitely coming back!
Best pastries around. Cream horns are to die for and the sweet/savory croissants are the perfect thing to bring to brunch!
Everyone is very friendly and they have amazing food baked fresh constantly. I go here every week and always enjoy what I get.
Delicious sandwiches and pastries/sweets. They have a prarie bread with seeds that I love. You can buy a loaf there as well. Go there.
Best bakery in the whole state of Maine for cream horns!! Always stop here when passing through Westbrook.
I live there cupcakes & would eat one everyday ! So yummy just makes me want one right now!!!! So I will be going tomorrow to geta carrot cake cupcake!!! MY fav!
Great place to grab breakfast, lunch or bakery goods. Priced very reasonably and the staff is incredible. I 1000000% recommend this incredible place.

The egg,cheese and bacon breakfast sandwiches are to die for! Well anything they bake is! Best stop hands down
This is a hidden gem!!! Best croissants and cream horns I have ever had!!! Had lunch there a few times as well, very, very good!!!
GREAT pastries, bread, sandwiches .... everything! When my son comes home from Texas, we have to go straight to the Baker's Bench from the airport so he can get raspberry cream turnovers.
Best pastries I've had in the area, and their sandwiches are incredible!
I moved into the neighborhood and just found this wonderful place. Great for walking to n from. Parking is hard. But the pastry is worth it.
The pastries are wonderful and I get one almost every morning when I’m able to. Plus the people are incredibly friendly and helpful.
Quality of product was great. I was disappointed there was no prices listed and I was shocked when I was asked to pay $22.50 for 6 cupcakes. Also, no vegan options.
Best creamhorns evaaaaa! I stop bye here every time I'm passing through Maine. You should too!
Great sandwiches, but tough to find if you've never been there before. Parking is definitely an issue, especially when they get busy.
The Baker's Bench is, by far, the best, best bakery in the Greater Portland area!! Consistently delicious time after time. The Baker's Bench is the only bakery for me!! Thanks!!
