The Best Things to Do When Visiting Portland, ME

There's no better way to kick off your Maine adventure than by making a morning detour to the Standard Baking Co. Located right on the waterfront in downtown Portland, this family-owned bakery specializes in European handcrafted breads and pastries, and just as the name implies, it has long set the standard for baguettes, croissants, and sweet treats.

Although you might encounter a weaving line out the door when you arrive, don't worry, it moves quite quickly and the intoxicating aroma of yeast rising will provide the patience you never knew you had.
