Service here was amazing! This gluten free bakery has got to be one of the BEST things I have ever had before! The service here is very good and I must say they are really nice employees. I hope to come back to this place over the weekends and even tho it's expensive all it matters is that it's the best in town! Also, thank you for everything you guys do for the brunswick area teen center! I go to the teen center alot and I have some of the granola deserts and I LOVE them alot. I liked the two boston cream donuts and the smores bar I had this morning. Again thank you guys for everything and I can see this business being the best ones in town!
This is such a satisfying stop for those of us who can’t have gluten. I love the breakfast sandwiches and the sticky buns. The best part, though, is the experience. Being able to go in and order anything is so freeing. And the staff are just fantastic. They are so friendly and accommodating. It’s always a pleasure to go in there.
Pros:
Since I couldn’t read the donut options (see con below) staff was very friendly and accommodating
Holy cannoli options are a fun idea
Cannoli cream had great flavor
Decently priced
Large donuts for price
Thin and crispy so very unique
Easy to find
In asking for staff recommendations they were conscientious on if I was gluten-free
Cons:
Menus were difficult to read (I have a vision issue so it wasn’t bolded or popping - yes you can take photos and zoom in. See positive above)
Tried the cinnamon sugar holy cannoli and was messy (understandable and expected) but don’t had little to no flavor
In chocolate sea salt the chocolate was a great base but didn’t get any sea salt flavor
I have been going here since moving to Maine in 2020....not because I am medically gluten free....just because it is great stuff! I try to stop in just for a muffin but usually come away with a lot more! Lots of creative variety, side by side with the old standby--delicious blueberry muffin, in case you're not in the mood for the fun rotating unique flavors. I am not telling my favorites because I want some to be left when I get there! LOL
Nice staff, very talented baker who must work very hard!
We have eaten at the bake shop several times and have had wonderful meals every time . Love stopping in eating for breakfast or a late afternoon lunch or a light dinner ,service has been outstanding. The food is fresh and ddelicious. Let me set this up there’s a huge huge selection of gluten-free options as well. . Recommend it highly to anyone looking for someplace for delicious breakfast lunch or dinner
Outstanding cafe with amazing employees, a great place to hang out with friends, and excellent gluten free options (with allergy-aware staff). We really need more places like Aubrey’s in Southern Maine and the Seacoast.
My best friend got me a vegan/gluten free carrot cake cupcake. I was a bit skeptical of how this would taste and my husband said there was no way it would be good. WOW were we wrong!! It was amazing! We now can't stop talking about it and want to try everything else they offer. You can tell they really enjoy what they do!
Beautiful space and friendly staff! Love that this place is a dedicated gluten free shop so that I don’t have to worry about cross contamination. Everything is absolutely amazing!! Will definitely be back for more!
My husband loves this bakery. I do too as they make gluten-free and vegan items also. They do warn celiac customers that their gluten-free items are not made in a dedicated space. This is a bakery that has been around for a while. I highly recommend their delightful deserts and luncheon options.
Sandwich was good but they put all the meat in a big mound in the center so the edges were just bread. Their bagels aren't good- too bready, not enough gluten. They are not chewy like real bagels. They're only popular because Bangorians have never had a real bagel. Atmosphere is chaotic and hectic, all the hard surfaces make it very echoey and hard to hold a conversation. They replaced all the wood floors with cheap looking laminate. The plastic silverware is so flimsy, my spoon was bending trying to eat the potato salad. Staff were very friendly.
In a committed relationship with Sweet Cheeks. They’re the sole reason I failed at my New Year’s resolution, and for that I am incredibly grateful, for what is life without quality sweets 🤷♂️
You won’t get better sweet treats than at Sweet Cheeks 💯
I would be curious if they might be up for the challenge of Dairy Free sweets? They do have gluten free, but I am willing to sacrifice my body for the sweets 😊
Best gluten free waffle cone, ice cream and whoopie pies around!!!
My husband and I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! Highly recommended!!!
I have celiac and had no problem here!!! Try the Maine Maple twist soft serve in a gluten free waffle cone!!! DELICIOUS 😋 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!!!
Arrived on a Saturday around 9am. Bit of a line outside but it moves fast and the line isn’t as long inside. Well worth the wait! Tons of gluten free pastry options- we got the lemon ginger scone and black bean expresso bar. Both were delicious! We were also impressed with our coffee. They have sugar free available. I did a vanilla latte and my husband did a double shot of espresso- both were great. The latte wasn’t overly sweet and the espresso was just right. On top of the excellent food and drinks, the staff was all so friendly. We will definitely return!
My husband and I stopped in for coffee and was so happy to see the gluten free vegan options! We tried the scones, the muffins, and a breakfast sandwich and all were amazing!
Has the friendliest staff, so much seating and delicious food. Has gluten free pastries and gluten free bread for sandwiches! Also has some vegan options! If you’re in the area definitely stop in and if you are willing to travel, it is so worth it!
If you can't make a good glazed donut, you have no business making donuts. This was the worst glazed donut I've ever had.
We got two dozen assorted, and coffee - and that costed us over $100. A couple of the donuts were gluten free, and those were strangely the best ones - though still bad.
Dry, heavy, cold, stale tasting. The toppings were ok, pomegranate was better than blueberry somehow, strange for Maine. Either way you'll have the feeling of a brick slowly moving through your digestive system.
The coffee was terrible, burnt sludge.
I would almost give it two stars, because the attendants were at least nice, but that price tag just kills it for me too much. Avoid!
My favorite coffee shop...the best coffee roasted by the owner so it's ridiculously fresh. Great atmosphere and great eats ...everything is gluten free!
Soooo good! Their gluten free case is always my favorite and the chef was correct- the gluten free sandwich was fantastic too! The staff is all fun & pleasant to interact with. Love this place!!
I am so happy to have this delightful deli here in my town.
The sandwiches are bountiful and creative. Being Celiac, I was happy to see gluten free options.
I am so disappointed in the treatment of locals from this place. I went in the morning before my shift at a restaurant two doors down the street. I asked for just one scrambled egg because I am gluten intolerant, and was met with a nasty attitude and a horrifying price of $9 plus tax for One. Singular. Egg. As someone in the local food service industry who has known the owner for a long time, I am disgusted with the lack of concern for not only my food sensitivities but the fact that getting a side singular egg costs more than I what I would pay for TWO ENTIRE CARTONS of eggs. Treat locals better! Lost my business permanently. If the employees are coming down the street to our restaurant to eat during their lunch breaks, there is something wrong!!!!!
best brunch i’ve had in a while. full house but we managed to squeeze in a table for two upstairs by a window. cute, cozy atmosphere tied together by hand-painted table tops. mimosas were delicious, especially pear cranberry which i’ve never encountered before. “brunch bread” was the perfect start to the meal—we got a cheddar biscuit and cinnamon brown sugar gluten-free bread, both very yummy. for entrees, we shared french toast and steak eggs benedict. would order both again in an instant. service was warm and friendly to boot. will be returning, hungry for more!!

Talula’s baked and decorated a fantastic (and beautiful) two-tier birthday cake for us called “Taste of Maine.” Everyone loved the delicious cake, and it was even gluten free. Talula’s takes excellent care of their customers.
The Breakfast sandwiches are fantastic. The English muffin had a little charred, crispy edges. The eggs are buttery soft. I also got the sausage which had a great texture and flavor. My girlfriend got the gluten free multigrain bread and it was grilled to perfection. Hers also had ham, the buttery soft eggs and cheese on it. Overall it was delicious!
Coolest kind of store, tons of gluten free options, lots of cheese and other freshly made foods, books, etc.

Love this farm stand, and pick your own apples. They have wonderful veggies and great fresh pastries, and now gluten free options too. Delicious! Many choices of canned goods and it is all at very reasonable prices. You should stop by if you are in the area!!!

Unbelievable vegan frosting atop a gluten free cupcake!! Wonderful staff who are willing to accommodate any allergy issues you may have.
Stop by and/or pre-order cupcakes to make sure you get what you need.
Simply delicious.
Love the local hub! This is the type of place that community is all about. The food is real, locally sourced, and made with quality and care. I have dairy allergy and gluten intolerance and they take really great care to make sure my food is safe to eat. There are vegan options as dairy replacements and gf bread for me to enjoy a breakfast sandwich. It has a cute cozy artsy sitting area and a small shop set up area that as coolers with some cool health conscious drinks and local foods like dried local mushrooms and eggs. The staff has always been very kind and helpful when I ask disarray questions. It can get pretty busy at some times but that just speaks to how good and how loved this little community gem is.

We stopped by on a recent trip to Maine. I bought a variety of packages to bring home (TSA had a fit🤣) for Christmas gift and am so excited to share these wonderful scones here at home! They even have a gluten free package that you can add anything to (suggestions on the bag) to make as desired. Of course we bought some to eat that they had there which were wonderful! They have a great variety which I understand changes with the season. The owner was very sweet and I’m happy to hear they will be expanding soon.

I’ve lived in bowdoinham for 6 years and driven by hundreds of times. My wife and I wanted to grab a bite and I said hey, let’s try Annabella’s!
I had the steak and cheese special and my wife had the tarragon chicken salad on gluten free bread.
I have eaten a lot of steak and cheeses in my day (including Pats and Gino’s in Philly) and I gotta say, this was probably the best one I’ve ever had.
And the homemade bread it was on was flaky, buttery, and crunchy, so delicious it almost (almost) over powered the steak.
Our waitress was great and when she came to ask how I liked the sandwich she genuinely wanted to know. I got the vibe she may have been the owner but I’m not sure.
We will most definitely be going back and I will be hard pressed to drive by again without stopping in.
We don’t eat out much so thank you for making it well worth it!

Get all our special desserts here. Helpful staff, delicious baked goods, fantastic baked beans. Wish they had more gluten free options (just frozen cupcakes). Went a lot more often before I was gf, now we regularly get the baked beans- Jacob's Cattle is my fav!
Nice selection of different roasts for drip coffee. My husband said the popovers were delectable and they even had a gluten free blueberry crisp for me. The only negative was a lack of seating in the shop. We sat outside on a bench and walked around the wonderful bookstore next store while we sipped our drinks.
The food here was great! I and a family member got egg sandwiches.
The sourdough was some of the best bread I've ever had. Super puffy and wispy, while still holding together in a sandwich. 10/10 sandwich. Seriously amazing.
The other sandwich we got was an egg sandwich with gluten free bread. Unfortunately, the gluten free bread was quite dense and a bit undertoasted. But the stuff inside the sandwich was still pretty good. My family member ended up eating their gluten free sandwich with just one slice of that dense bread, instead of eating both.
The building has a public restroom, very clean.
The atmosphere was nice. A bunch of seating, and there were a lot of people inside eating and ordering. The eating area isn't a very large room, all the tables are pretty close to each other.
There were many options for food. Lots of different breads, danishes, and pastries, and some gluten free options too. And they had Maine Root soda products, which are always great.
Food came out quickly, and the staff were nice to talk with.
Went here after searching up gluten free breakfast options and can easily say it’s the best breakfast I’ve ever had!! I got the Union Jack sandwich (i think that’s the name) w gluten free bread and was in heaven!! The employees were amazing and the prices were reasonable. Food was hot, and took only 10-15 min to come out. They even gave my little pup a piece of bacon outside. 🥰🥰 Will be returning and recommending to others!
Our cake looked absolutely stunning! Prior to our wedding, we sent photos of what we were looking for and The Cupcakery perfected it. We love that they offered gluten- and lactose-free options. We selected a different flavor for each layer, which was well received. Our guests enjoyed it and went back for seconds because, in the end, every piece of cake was consumed. We can’t wait to have the top tier for our anniversary!
The best and most affordable bake shop! Everything here is absolute perfection, from the cakes to the loaves! We tried several options, including the danishes, cookies, macarons, pizza, and loaves. They were all very reasonably priced for small-batch baking- cookies were $1.95-2.50, and you can find loaves under $5. Gluten free options are available, as well as custom cakes!
It has been a while since I have been to this classic Old Port diner and man it’s nice to be back.
Marcy herself is gone (which some might feel is a good thing…), Mandy was friendly and wonderful to chat with between serving up orders. Not a place I was expecting to find a gluten-free option, but she was very pleased to make me a hot GF cinnamon roll (from BamBam Bakery!) with cream cheese frosting made fresh on the spot.
Will definitely be back and I look forward to bringing my kids.
