These 8 Maine Bakeries Make Pies So Good You’ll Want To Order Early
One of the best pie shops I’ve come across sells wild blueberry pies from a tiny room attached to a spa. Yes, a spa. You can preorder your pie right at the front desk.
That’s only one stop on this list. Another lets you grab fruit pies and pay at an honor-system cash box. Another bakes chocolate cream pies good enough to anchor a big school fundraiser order.
Maine takes pie seriously, and I love that. Wild blueberries show up again and again, but so do pork pies, salmon pies, and tourtiere. A few spots open only a few days a week, so timing matters.
That’s why ordering early makes so much sense. Popular flavors can vanish fast, especially around the holidays. So which one is calling your name first? I already know mine, and it starts with a buttery crust.
1. Two Fat Cats Bakery
Blueberries and cranberries share a crust here, crowned with a dark chocolate oat crumble and orange zest. That winter pie is called the New England Bog, and the name alone deserves a round of applause.
Two Fat Cats Bakery has been baking in Portland since 2005. In spring 2020, it moved its main operation to a bigger space on Lancaster Street.
The crew makes and bakes pies from scratch daily, using local and seasonal ingredients. That means the menu shifts with the calendar, so your favorite might be a summer-only treat.
Year-round, you can count on Maine Wild Blueberry and a Sour Cherry made with Michigan sour cherries. The Black and Blue pie mixes wild blueberries, blackberries, and a little ginger for some zip.
Spring brings Strawberry Rhubarb and Luscious Lemon. Summer leans into Peach Raspberry and Strawberry Pistachio, while fall rolls out Bumbleberry with blueberries, apples, raspberries, and rhubarb.
Chocolate cream fans have a strong reason to visit too. The bakery also turns out fruit-filled Pocket Pies and whoopie pies, which are basically Maine’s official handheld dessert.
Plan your trip carefully, because the doors stay shut Monday and Tuesday. Sunday tends to be the busiest stretch, so a weekday visit or an advance order can save you from pie heartbreak.

2. Frank’s Bake Shop & Catering
Eighty years is a long time to keep an oven busy. Frank’s opened in Bangor in 1945 and celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2025.
The bakery has called State Street home since 1947. Today, the founder’s great-grandson and his wife run the show, keeping the scratch-made tradition rolling.
Got a hard time making decisions? Good luck, because the shop offers more than 800 different baked goods, from custom cakes to breads, donuts, and lunches.
The pie list alone could fill a notebook. You’ll find Apple Crumb, Key Lime, Lemon Meringue, Triberry, Tollhouse, Chocolate Coconut, and Graham Cracker, among plenty of others.
Savory pies are a big deal here too. Turkey Pot Pie, Beef Pot Pie, Salmon Pie, Shepherd’s Pie, and an all white meat Chicken Pie make supper feel a lot easier.
That mix makes Frank’s handy for holiday tables in Maine. You could grab a meat pie for dinner and a cream pie for dessert in one stop.
The doors open early, at 6 AM Monday through Saturday. Weekdays run until 6 PM, Saturdays wrap at 3 PM, and Sundays are closed.
Mornings tend to get busy, especially late in the week. Ordering ahead gives you a better shot at the flavor you’ve been dreaming about since breakfast.
Address: 199 State St #5410, Bangor, ME 04401
3. Trish’s Pie Bakery
Trust is a key ingredient at this Phippsburg stop. Homemade fruit pies wait for you, and payment goes into an honor cash box.
That old-fashioned setup feels very Maine. It also makes the drive down the Phippsburg peninsula feel like a small treasure hunt with a sweet payoff.
Fruit pies are the main event. The strawberry rhubarb gets attention for its delicate, buttery crust and a filling that balances tart and sweet nicely.
Shortcakes show up too, which is great news for anyone who wants berries without committing to a whole pie. Of course, committing to a whole pie is also a fine life choice.
The shelves go beyond baked goods. You can pick up fudge, honey, jellies, and maple syrup, so your pantry gets a treat along with your dessert plate.
Everything here is takeout only, with no dining room. Pack a cooler bag or a sturdy box so your pie survives the ride home.
Hours run 9 AM to 5 PM, seven days a week. That steady schedule is handy for weekend road trips and spontaneous cravings alike.
Bigger plans? The bakery handles pie orders, so reaching out early for a party or holiday is smart.
Bring cash for the box and maybe a little extra for jelly.
Address: 1654 Main Rd, Phippsburg, ME 04562
4. Hillman’s Bakery
Tourtiere is the quiet hero at Hillman’s. That spiced meat pie has deep French Canadian roots in Maine, and it fits right in at this Fairfield bakery.
Hillman’s keeps things traditional. Think fresh donuts, homemade pies, bread, and cakes, made by a friendly crew without fancy frills.
On the sweet side, blueberry and raspberry pies get plenty of love. The blueberry earns special praise, which is saying something in a state packed with blueberry pies.
Meat pies deserve their own spotlight. Turkey pie joins the tourtiere, giving you an easy dinner option when cooking sounds like too much work.
Visit in spring and you might find hot cross buns too. They pair nicely with a coffee, which the bakery also serves.
Here’s a practical heads-up. There’s no seating and no restroom, so treat this as a grab-and-go stop with your pie box tucked safely in the car.
Hillman’s opens at 6 AM Tuesday through Saturday and stays open until 5 PM. It’s closed Sunday and Monday, so plan weekend pie runs for Saturday.
Mornings draw the biggest crowds, especially Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Calling ahead for a holiday tourtiere is a smart way to skip the scramble and still look like the hero of dinner.

5. Mount Desserts, Homemade Pies
Calling something the Best Blueberry Pie Ever takes nerve. Mount Desserts puts that nickname on its Wild Maine Blueberry pie, and the buttery, flaky crust backs it up.
Two sisters run this Bar Harbor shop. Their recipes have been passed down through generations of family bakers.
The daily lineup keeps it focused. Wild Maine Blueberry, Mixed Berry, and Strawberry Rhubarb lead the way.
The Mixed Berry blends strawberry, rhubarb, and blueberry. That combination hits sweet, tart, and juicy notes in one slice.
Fall adds a fresh wave of flavors. Apple Salted Caramel, Pumpkin, Pecan, and Chocolate Pecan join the menu as the leaves change.
Hand pies are another reason to stop. The shop makes both sweet and savory versions, perfect for a picnic after exploring Mount Desert Island.
It’s open Thursday through Monday and closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Pies can sell out, so arriving early or ordering ahead makes a lot of sense.
There’s no restroom on site, so treat it as a quick stop. A free parking lot makes popping in for a pie box easy before you head back toward town.
Address: 2 Lookout Point Rd, Bar Harbor, ME 04609
6. Gee & Pop’s Little Pie Shop
Massage, facial, and a wild blueberry pie to go? At Gee and Pop’s, that combo is real, since the tiny shop sits attached to a spa in downtown Belfast.
The story behind it is even sweeter. The owner’s great-grandfather once ran a bakery right across the street.
Now a fifth generation of the family is learning the secret recipe. That’s a lot of history folded into one crust.
Wild Maine blueberry pie is the shop’s claim to fame. Triple-berry and strawberry-rhubarb pies give berry fans a few more choices.
Smaller treats fill out the lineup. You’ll find hand pies, whoopie pies, cookies, cinn-pie bites, and something called whookies.
Whookies sound like a cookie and whoopie pie had a happy accident. Honestly, curiosity alone might justify ordering one.
Ordering ahead is easy and very smart. You can preorder a pie with the front desk staff or ask them questions.
Hours vary by day, so check before you go. Monday runs 9 AM to 7 PM, Tuesday through Friday 9 AM to 5 PM, and Saturday 10 AM to 3 PM.
Sundays are closed, which matters for weekend visitors. Grab your pie on Saturday, and maybe book a little spa time while you’re at it.
Address: 39 Main St, Belfast, ME 04915
7. Bread & Roses Bakery
Three mornings a week is all you get. Bread and Roses in Wells opens only Friday through Sunday, from 7 AM to 1 PM.
That short window makes planning a must. Show up late on a Sunday, and you could be staring at an empty spot where your pie should be.
Blueberry pie is the star here. It’s known for a flaky crust, fresh blueberries, and a filling that tastes fruit-sweet instead of sugary.
That balance matters more than people think. When the berries do the talking, you can actually taste Maine summer in each bite.
The bakery offers far more than pie. Giant chocolate chip cookies, blueberry crumble, pastries, and custom cakes share the case.
Cake fans have options like yellow cake with dark chocolate icing. Chocolate cake with raspberry buttercream frosting is another tempting pick.
Coffee drinks and cafe fare round things out. That makes it a handy breakfast stop before a beach day along the southern coast.
Sunday morning tends to be the busiest time. Arriving right at opening, or ordering your pie ahead, gives you the best odds.
A free lot and free street parking help too. Grab a cookie for the road, because a pie box shouldn’t ride home alone.
Address: 614 Post Rd, Wells, ME 04090
8. Grant’s Bakery
Pork pies, salmon pies, and chicken pot pie all share shelf space at Grant’s. This long-running Lewiston family bakery treats savory pies like serious business.
Meat pies are a big part of the bakery’s identity. Custom cakes are the other big specialty, so birthdays and pie suppers both get covered.
Sweet tooth? The chocolate cream pie earns plenty of love and makes a strong case for dessert first.
Big orders are no problem here. The bakery has handled large pie orders for community school fundraisers, which is a great sign if you’re feeding a crowd.
Beyond pie, the case gets interesting. Date squares, cookies, breads, and pastries all compete for your attention.
Grant’s also sells baked beans and homemade brown bread. Pair them with a pork pie, and you’ve got a classic Maine supper with zero cooking.
The shop is takeout only, with no seating or restroom. Think of it as a smart pit stop rather than a place to linger.
Hours run 7 AM to 6 PM, Tuesday through Saturday. Sunday and Monday are closed, so plan around those days.
Friday afternoon and Saturday get the busiest. Order early for holidays, and your future self will thank you with a forkful of chocolate cream.
