Um, yes, it's worth waiting for. It smells divine inside, and there are at least 20 different things to buy once you get inside. Cookies, pastries, breads, seasonal offerings... my eyes couldn't settle down. It's overwhelmingly beautiful to look at, and the flavor, freshness, and texture bring it home. I bought an Asiago fougasse that was gorgeously colored, with cheese of just the right thickness: not so little as to burn, not so much as to be undercooked. It was crusty, seasoned, fluffy on the inside. Perfection. I went around 3p on Sunday and there was a lull in the line. As I was leaving, 12 people were marching up the street.

You can’t beat local freshly baked breads and pastries. Delicious, charming and adds a nice touch to your morning in Portland old town.Everyone is taking a postcard worthy pictures when they step in the store.You need to wait in line as the store is tiny. But the service is efficient and on point. So It’s not bad at all.Oh the coffee is good too!

This had great customer service and the muffins and bread were amazing. The staff were very funny and were very good at giving me the time I needed to look over the menu. I would not have been that patient with a customer.

If you want bread or pasties baked but bakers who care, this is the bakery. They truly have artisan bread. If you are critical about their products, then you simply don't understand how hard it is to bake at this level and to have this quality.So ignore the negative and appreciate how hard it is to make bread this well by hand.I would say this is bakery, which is at the same level as La brea Bakery . It's worth stop.

Meh. Overrated mediocre tourist trap idea of a bakery. Very inconsistent unfortunately. This is from someone who knows high-end pastries and baked goods well. First off let’s start with the ‘croissants’. I understand the American twist on French pastries which to over bake everything. The idea is that extra caramelization equals flavor which is debatable. Fine line between a pleasant or a burnt flavor. Their ‘croissants’ are unfortunately always completely over-baked and one minute from being totally burnt and inedible. French croissants are supposed to be flaky, buttery and make a ‘mess’ which is a hallmark of an authentic croissant. In this case their dry as a bone prosciutto and Asiago version completely disintegrated into bits of burnt dust and the prosciutto was like beef jerky and the cheese was nowhere to be found. SMH. NOT supposed to be like that anywhere. Their financier yet again a complete disaster. The shape is unique but a financier is a lighter teacake and not a break your teeth crunchy cookie like I had again today. Awful! Considering the look, service and the expensive price point, please learn the correct recipes if you want to make the real thing with your own little twist. Also, calibrate your ovens and make sure your staff uses timers and follow the correct recipes. I’ve been to standard many times but it’s been progressively getting worse with no consistent ‘standard’. Clearly no one with a clue is overseeing the different areas or is taste testing their products. Sad. They should change the name to ‘hit or miss’. Go to Belleville instead where everything is 100 % every time. Consistency! Won’t be going to ‘Standard’ again. Too long a line for really no reason whatsoever and inconsistent overpriced ‘pastries’ and whoever runs is place has little knowledge of how to run a real bakery.

Best scratch bread in Portland! Speaking as a former scratch bread baker— their rosemary focaccia bread is the best bread I’ve ever tasted. Go early! This one usually sells out before noon!

After 30 years I was thrilled to find Standard Baking Company although in a new and larger location.Their products were all fresh and nicely displayed. It wasn't easy to choose from all the tasty baked goods but the walnut sticky buns were calling to me.Although I live well over an hour away, I'll be making regular trips.(Sorry, no pics- bf ate all 4 before I could snap one lol but their website has plenty!)Pics added from yesterday's visit (12/7/23)The fermented olive loaf is delightful !
