Rosemont Market & Bakery

Tremendous little market with high quality cheeses (jasper hill farm), homemade breads, great condiments and wine. A real treasure.

Love stopping by for wine, fresh vegies, fresh baked goods etc! Great selection of rosé for those hot days!

This is the first place I ever bought/learned about muhammara. They have SO much more, but I come back once a year just for the muhammara

Great local market, I don’t know what we’d do without it! On the pricey side, but worth it for a convenient market that sells quality products. Baked goods and premade sandwiches/dinner items are also a bonus. We visit multiple times per week!

Well, if you’ve ever wandered into the West End and thought, “I’d like Fresh Approach, but make it boogie,” then Rosemont Bakery is your spot. This place is a real treat for folks who like their breakfast burritos wrapped in locally-sourced pride and their bread fresher than a summer breeze off Casco Bay. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a fancy loaf that costs more than your last parking ticket and feel darn good about it. Now, don’t get me wrong—I’m not knocking Fresh Approach. That’s the spot for a no-frills bag of chips, head of cabbage, and a Mountain Dew when you’re in a pinch. But Rosemont? Oh no, this place is for the West End crowd who pretend to forget where their Subaru is parked. They’ve got all the goodies: hot breakfast burritos that’ll make you rethink your life choices (in a good way), shelves of local produce, and even the kind of cheese that comes with a story about the goat’s name. It’s like Whole Foods decided to keep it wicked Maine. The vibe inside is cozy but elevated—you’ll see someone in Carhartts buying organic quiche right next to a guy in a Patagonia vest debating whether kombucha counts as breakfast. The staff is friendly in that Portland kind of way, where you’re not sure if they’re being sarcastic or genuinely excited about your bread selection. And oh, the bread! Soft, crusty, and so local it probably votes in the Portland City Council races. So, if you’re in the West End and need a quick bite or some groceries that’ll impress your houseguests, Rosemont’s your jam. Just don’t forget where you parked your Subaru.

Love Rosemont, my partner and I are loyal customers. Was disappointed the other day, when searching for a grain/starch to serve with dinner, that the grain options included Israeli products. @Rosemont, is there any chance you could discontinue the sale of products from Israel given the current situation in Gaza? At the minimum it would be nice if you provided an alternatively sourced option for things like couscous for those who don't want to support Israel with their purchases.

Cool but expensive local market. Veggies meats, wine, baked goods

Prices are indubitably high so minus a star for that but they do have quality products and they come in clutch given their location as a little market. I’d recommend Joe’s any day of the week tho😮‍💨

A great neighborhood spot for groceries, produce, wine, meat, fresh bread or a cup of coffee. They have it all in a cute store tucked into the corner of Pine and Brackett. It was a badly needed store in the West End and much appreciated by locals. The staff is friendly and accommodating too. Highly recommended.

so happy we have this place around the corner. love their soups and sticky buns. Healthy and convenient.

Stopped by to grab some food to take on a picnic while in town. Four stars for the vegan selection, but I would have liked to have seen a little bit more as far as the baked goods. Donuts, muffins, bialys, and more bread selections would be awesome! Didn't see any at this location but cake by the slice would rock too. My husband got the buffalo chicken wrap and said he liked it. I think the highlight for me was the whole wheat sourdough which I toasted to make a tofu egg salad sandwich. $10 initially seemed like a lot for the tofu egg salad but it made about 6 sandwiches and is VERY GOOD! Great beer selection as well as a great chocolate selection (they had some local chocolate cups and HU which I love!) Overall I would recommend this place.

#portlandmefoodietour Just impressed and thankful to the generous folks at Rosemont! Rosemont was recommended by locals we met. (We just moved here in early December). The food is amazing from their bakery goods to their groceries. Extremely high quality, a great variety of options, and very well priced! I also want to thank them for continuing to serve the community and all that they're doing for everyone during this Covid era. I was able to make an order online and pick up with zero contact with anyone. The groceries were delivered right to the flatbed of my truck I had opened before I arrived. The lady was super sweet and understanding. I will absolutely be ordering again and csnt wait to go in after this is all over.

Ugh. Never again. Came here last night to grab some Blue Mango veggie burgers (they carry them now for $10, used to for $7, but at least they still have them). Grabbed four apples that looked decent. Took one to work today, noticed a bruise or two, but accepted this, as it's typical of Rosemont produce. I bit into the apple and with every bite it became more and more mushy and brown. I ate it anyway because I spent a small fortune on these apples. An hour later I got violently ill. Like, emergency ill. Just skip it. Not worth getting severely ill over a convenient, overpriced apple that is literally rotting from the inside.

Super cute; loved the vibe! I was searching high and low on a late Monday morning for breakfast pastries (turns out most coffee shops are sold out by 11:30). Luckily, Rosemont had a couple blueberry muffins left. I wished they had more options (were selling mostly bread loaves) but beggars can't be choosers. The muffin was quite good, and I picked up some fruit as well. I was in from out of town so I didn't need much, but the bouquets and florals they sold were gorgeous, and definitely would have snagged some if I was local.

I don't know what I'd do without Rosemont West End. I can literally get everything I want here and that means I don't have to enter large chain grocery stores. I like the Euro village feel here, the convenience of walking, and the variety of offerings. I disagree with reviewers critical of the amount of bakery offerings. There's just the right amount and seasonal choices. Best hot cross buns in town! I also disagree that goods are overpriced. This store doesn't pretend to be Hannafords nor compete with them. Smaller operations have to charge more. I'm more than happy to pay for the convenience and curated choices. Also the staff is very friendly, accommodating and eager to please. Please keep up the good work, Rosemont Friends! You're pros!

They appreciate high quality food that is locally sourced (and that is a good thing), but they don't pay their employees enough. I am a local and I love to shop at all the local, gourmet, foodie markets, but I heard they only pay their staff $14/hr (yet they obviously are making BANK as they are opening up new locations in all the trendy or high traffic areas). I won't shop there until they compensate the people, who do all their hard work, better!

Today has been the worst day of the year for me; the day Rosemont discontinued the Wednesday Turkey Cheddar and Hummus Cheddar sandwiches. I'm not sure what sparked this change as I can assure you both sandwiches are always close to sold out around 1pm every Wednesday. Both sandwiches were pure bliss and truthfully the highlight of my Wednesdays. Today when I opened the fridge to see it had been replaced by the Turkey Rachel, there was a pit in my stomach. In a few words, that sandwich was not comparable. I know good things don't last forever and that change is a constant, but this discontinuation cuts deep. Rosemont--if you're reading this, PLEASE bring back the Turkey Cheddar and Hummus Cheddar sandwiches. There's nothing quite like a marriage of complimentary, excellent ingredients laid upon a pillow of homemade focaccia. SOS!

Rosemont West End has been my go-to neighborhood market for everything from pantry staples to special treats for the past several years. Each Rosemont team member takes care in the Rosemont brand fostering relationships with customers through their warm demeanor and extensive product knowledge and passion. Their selection can't be beat for fresh local produce and meat. They also boast a well curated selection of cheeses and wines and pastries/breads to boot. The ham and cheese croissants and olive bread are personal favorites. My family so appreciates having such an incredible neighborhood market that nourishes us on many levels -thank you! #ThankYouThursday

Good in a pinch, but keep an eye out for expiration dates. Accidentally bought cookies expiration date February 2019 in October 2019! Cute little gourmet stores have interesting inventory but the dirty little secret is that only a few items turn over frequently.

A local branch of this metro-wide local/natural food purveyor is a much appreciated addition to this wee but burgeoning neighborhood. Still working out the kinks on a few areas, but a pretty epic meat/cheese counter, nicely curated beer/wine section, lots of little treats scattered about, a good baseline selection of veggies/fruit and breads - a solid foundation to build on. Service is a bit scattered, but trying to improve - the lady behind the meat/cheese counter was particularly helpful and friendly on our couple of visits. Whoever runs the produce down at the branch on the waterfront should come up here and knock their options into shape - some stuff was struggling in the sun by the windows/chiller by the wall. It was a great help to have this place right down the road during our long weekend staying in the west end, and the slightly later hours were much appreciated as well. I have no doubt that it will continue to grow along with this neighborhood into a venerable piece of the fabric of its surroundings. In terms of the prices, they seemed reasonable to me as a resident of a far off arid land metropolitan center. Its a neighborhood artisan market - it's not a grocery store. Everything has to be carried in from a smaller truck off a bigger truck, which equals a slight surcharge to make it all work out. Totally worth it to us to not have to drive to a bigger store, and enjoy the area a bit more during our stay. It does seem like this area is changing economically, and we are all too familiar with that pinch as well. Hopefully they can keep working on it and find a happy medium to fit well in to the neighborhood!

Came here as soon as I arrived in Portland to grab some provisions for the AirBnB. I will say that there wasn't a huge selection here, but, it is a small store. I ended up picking up two bottles of wine, some pistachios and chips and it was about $55, which seemed expensive. However, it was only about a 7 minute walk from the AirBnB, so, it was convenient.

Love this neighborhood market for the fresh, local foods they offer. I don't love the bad attitude that the guy at the deli counter always gives when I order something 30 minutes before they close, because he already cleaned the slicer for the night. Get over it man. You're still open for business and there to sell to customers.

I live about 3 blocks from this Rosemont and it's my least favorite. It's just so tiny, and small isn't always bad (save your jokes!), but it feels like they made the store fit too small a space, and there's too many things in too small a store. I know that location has to do a lot with this: obviously stores in Cape Elizabeth and on Brighton Ave have cheaper rents and more room to build, but if this is really to be the only one in the West End, I wish they could have held out for something a little larger. Similar to other Rosemonts, the selection is small but good and the essentials are there. If you happen to hit upon a quiet afternoon with just a couple other shoppers, you might just happily peruse the aisles and not notice a thing. If you happen to visit when it's busy, for me, often after work, it's claustrophobic and I cannot believe I haven't knocked a bottle of wine over with my ass yet, trying to squeeze by people. It seems somewhat open when you first walk in near the counter, but as you go back towards the meat and cheese counter, it seems like it sort of bottlenecks. If you're in line to order some meats for instance, and someone is trying to get the soup, it can take some effort to get out of their way... and the same if you're either trying to make a really hard decision on what beer you want to drink and people are trying to get by, or you are trying to get by someone in a similar dilemma. (I am a beer drinker and I generally buy at OhNo as they have that on lockdown, but if you drink wine, this place has a massive selection. I think 1/4 of the store might be just wine, though I'm not the person to comment on prices or quality). Like most of the Rosemonts, the staff here is super nice and generally helpful (especially at all of the meat/cheese counters for whatever reason??). I feel like a yuppie douche even complaining about this place, because it is nice to have in the neighborhood, I just wish it was a bit easier to navigate. If I'm home and looking for walking distance, I'll roll by here or Fresh Approach, but if I'm coming from work I always go out of my way a bit to go to the Commercial Street Rosemont, perhaps my favorite. Sooo, the sage advice ending here is... I'll keep coming here for necessities when I can handle it, but know that getting some chimichurri, soppressata, and an orange at 5:30pm on a weekday may require pirouetting through the store like Tom Cruise dodging lasers in Mission Impossible.

My favorite stores! The bacon is delicious, the produce fresh. The meat counter is great! Definitely recommend the local and organic products!

Great little market with funky items. It's on the expensive side, but has fun things, a bakery with great items (baguette, garlic bread, olive bread, cinnamon raisin bread, all sorts of delicious items), processed items (fancy chocolate bars, crackers, pastas), frozen items (local meats, parlor ice cream), and prepared foods (pimento cheese, sesame noodles). I liked poking around!

I've only been to the location near Maine medical, but this doesn't really have much for baked goods. I went here because it had "bakery" in the store name, but it's more of a little grocery than a bakery. The choc zucchini bread is very good. Banana bread and chocolate chip cookies were the only other baked goods, outside of the bread bin, which was mostly empty. Maybe COVID is affecting their business-not sure.

I shop here multiple times a week. They always have decent, local produce, a nice selection of other groceries and wine, and a great local meat selection! I stop in on my walk home from work mostly and though there has been quite a bit of staff turnover recently, I usually like all the people that work there. Except, I always get terrible service from Polly. It's almost like she doesn't speak to me on purpose. Never a "how are you doing today?" Or "have a nice day". Usually I get no greeting, and I'm the one to say "thanks, have a good one." It's one thing to not be friendly when you work behind the scenes, but this woman is always out front, always dealing with customers, and always rude. She's working in customer service but is literally MEAN, and it seems like she does it on purpose. This would be a 5 star review, but because of Polly I honestly can't give more than 2 stars. Her attitude ruins my feeling of the entire place and when I see her I want to not go in. I'm baffled as to why she is still employed there, considering she's rude to more customers then she's nice to. It's frustrating to have such a nice place employ such a terrible woman. I may reconsider shopping there if I see her working, maybe I can somehow just hit her days off.

Though they still continue to clear the meat and bread bins an hour before closing time, the service has improved dramatically. They've hired some new folks and the long timers seem nicer, which is great. I'm guessing they received complaints and told the snarky employees to tone it down ;) Either way, the change is noticeable and appreciated.

Went to this market to get some snacks for a meeting with friends. Was able to get some delicious cheese, bread, wine and fruit. As well as some extra snacks for later. The people working were extremely helpful and very nice! It is a little pricey, but definitely worth it through quality and friendliness.

Good neighborhood grocer like my pa used to go to back in the day. Get a nice loaf of ciabatta and some eggplant without having to go to the big guys, I like that. Minus one star because I once got a coffee at the other Rosemant and it was a quarter cheaper for some reason. The coffee is good though, wish they had espresso. William b.

Terrible customer service in this store. A little over the top price wise too. Go elsewhere were they appreciate your business.

Rosemont is a bit price but a very cute local market. I was at the Laundromat down the street and decided to walk in. Huge wine selection, variety of cheeses , and baked goods. I purchased some Brie and it was absolutely amazing. I personally wouldn't grocery shop here but if you're having friends over and need to pick up a few specials items then this is your store.
