I love love love this bakery. Sweet treats and breads are both amazing. Their brownies are gooey perfection. Aside from flying to France, their croissants are the best you can get.

Fancy. French. Fun. Centrally located just a block up Market in the heart of Old Port, PPGC's a thoughtfully designed Parisian respite from the surrounding rows of bars and eateries. Gorgeous mini macaroons, delicate French pastries, and delicious French roast coffee complement the compact, but well designed interior decor.

What could be better than fresh, warm doughnuts made beautifully and thoughtfully?  Eating them AND taking in one of Portland's most scenic vistas! That is possible when that beautiful truck parks on our beloved Eastern Prom! I can't wait!

*Urban Sugar isn't always in Portland, so check their Facebook page and website for up to date locations.

4. Two Fat Cats

Walking into Two Fat Cats, you immediately smell butter, butter, butter, and more butter being lovingly baked into amazing thick pie crusts. The blueberry pie was so good.
