Bread & Friends - Review - Arts District - Portland, ME - The Infatuation

"Bread & Friends contains multitudes. It’s a bakery with loaves of wood-fired bread, pastries, and coffee, a casual place to have dinner, or, in its best form, a fantastic brunch spot. Watch the bakers behind the glass or stare into the pastry case to decide which you’d like to start with as you peruse a menu that checks all the brunch boxes—sweet, savory, great coffee, and options for day drinking. They’ve got the typical mimosas and biscuits, but everything is just a little bit extra. That mimosa? Atop the requisite OJ and sparkling wine is a vanilla foam to give it a creamsicle vibe and the small biscuits are labeled as “petite” and stuffed with house-smoked pastrami." - Alana Dao
