    By far, one of the best bakeries around. This place is incredible. The cream horns are unlike any other. The blueberry muffins and the croissants are outstanding. Now, there is some level of quirkiness to the place, and I am not sure that all of it is intentional. They do not post their business hours on the door. This is a problem for someone like me who was sent there at my customer's request to procure some blueberry muffins. I arrived at 6:40 a.m. and walked through the front door. I was greeted with a very terse "We don't open until 7" from a worker. I walked out, and she promptly locked the door as I left. I paced up and down in front of the window while I chain smoked. Would it have upset some grand scheme of things if she had let me make a purchase when I first walked in?...considering my total purchase came to $27. Finally, at the appointed hour, I was allowed in and purchased their entire supply of muffins along with raspberry and cheese croissants, all of which were delicious. The next day, I purchased a loaf of bread and asked the clerk to slice it. She said "We don't have a bread slicer" HUH? a bakery with no bread slicer? Despite these quirks, I highly recommend this place, and I will definitely return on my next trip to Westbrook...in fact, I may drive there from Boston solely to buy the cream horns.

    I come here a lot on my lunch breaks. The bread is very good and always fresh. I usually get chicken or tuna salad sandwiches, but the last time I went I got the Rachel. The turkey on the sandwich was sliced chunks of turkey, as if it came off of a roasted turkey. The coleslaw was really good too. I think this will now be my usual order when I go. Of all the pastries, my favorite is the raspberry brownie. It has a layer of raspberry jelly, topped by a thick layer of raspberry frosting that is super buttery, but not very sugary, so it feels light. On top of that is a layer of hardened chocolate. It is so good I have to fight myself not to buy it every time I go. The parking lot is small but there is a lot of street parking nearby.

    Excellent baked goods. Including bread. I have never been disappointed with anything I have had from here. Great place to stop for something to bring to the office, a potluck party, take-home a loaf of bread, or just to have something sweet for dessert. The only sandwich I have tried was the tuna, and although good, I wouldn't necessarily go back for lunch. Most of the sandwiches are meat-based. My boyfriend loves them though. Last week I had a coconut-cream puff which was amazing! Will definitely be back for scratch-made bakery items.

    Our whole family loves this place. It is a must on our annual trip to Maine. Everything is very fresh. Croissants are large and never greasy, cupcakes and mousse are wonderful, too. Best oatmeal bread I've ever had; I freeze loaves to take back to NJ.

    Bakers bench has some of the best breads - oatmeal is to die for. But I come here for sandwiches: roast beef, pastrami and Thanksgiving. So good - and bread absolutely is a star of this show. HIGHLY recommend!

    This is easily missed in a busy area. I stopped and picked up a few danish and a coffee crumb cake. Unfortunately, the crumb cake was a gift and I didn't get to try it; however, it looked amazing and the reports i got echo that thought. I had the cheese danish and it was amazing! My son liked the raspberry danish as well. My only complaint would be when I entered the bakery the girl at the front wasn't very friendly, one of the bakers in the back said hello and seemed more friendly. I wanted that warm, small business, community feeling and didn't get it from the girl in the front. That is a miss. All in all I would recommend taking the time to stop and give this place a try.

    I visit the Baker's Bench fairly often. There's a couple reasons for this: 1. It's walking distance from my office, so it's an easy lunch choice; 2. It's near where I live, so again, an easy choice on Saturdays; and 3. It's JUST THAT GOOD!! First and foremost, this is a bakery. They have some amazing sweet treats. I think they are most widely known for their cream horns, which are delicious, but not my thing. I openly admit that I have a small addiction to their peanut butter frosted brownie. It is a very moist chocolate brownie coated in almost an inch of peanut butter frosting that is creamy and not too sweet, then a thin layer of ganache tops it off. I always say, I'll eat half now and save the other for later. I've never made it to later. They also have a variety of other frosted brownies, cupcakes (the carrot cake is pretty yummy), as well as pastries like croissants, turnovers, and such. But, as any good bakery does, they also bake bread. And when you have bread, you may as well offer some sandwiches. They have about 5-7 sandwiches that you can choose from including a Rachel, Thanksgiving, and Club. The turkey is real and delicious. And, you can't beat a sandwich on homemade bread, right? In the cooler months, they have soups that change daily as well. As a soup lover, this is probably my favorite thing about this place. My favorite combo - the Tomato Basil soup (big chunks of tomato with fresh basil) with a lovely spinach and feta croissant on the side for dipping. It is the perfect pick me up on a cold winter's day. Oh, and if I haven't sold you enough, on Wednesday, they sell Chicken Pot Pies for something like $13. A whole fresh from scratch (including the crust) chicken pot pie for $13!! Seriously - it's worth every penny and then some!

    One time, my co-worker brought in cream horns from the Baker's Bench.. I have never had them before and sweet sweet lord, I will probably never get them from any where but here. (Sorry sad little cellophane wrapped grocery store horns.... no dice.) Baker's Bench has just about everything I would want in a bakery: great cupcakes, cookies, bars, and croissants (get the almond ones!). I had a breakfast sandwich on a croissant the other day... and it was amazing. The egg was still runny, and for that alone I swooned. Yes, baked goods make me swoon. I also love their bread - the Scotch Oatmeal is my favorite. Their sandwiches are a solid lunch option if you are passing through Westbrook and trying to find something substantial on the go. Yeah, yeah, parking is not great, and it might be a pain to walk to from downtown Westbrook - but get over it you animals. It is a minor annoyance for such lovely things.

    Creme Horns and Cinnamon Rolls are phenomenal the maple and raspberry creme horns are the best! I only go there every great once in a while because I don't have the time to do enough exercise if I ate their stuff all the time

    This place is truely a gem, and to have it right down the road from me in Westbrook is just plain dangerous! Everything I've ever had from here has been sublime. The breads, the pastries, all amazing. The dense and flavorful multi-grain bread containing sunflower seeds and other goodies makes the world's best toast. The dinner rolls are a fantastic addition to any meal. The one item I haven't seen mentioned, that is my absolute favorite, is their cupcakes. The Baker's Bench has the best cupcakes I've ever had. Huge, moist, rich, and topped with melt-in-your-mouth buttercream. You can easily split these with someone else, but I'm far too greedy with these amazing treats. If you haven't stopped into this great little bakery, get yourself there!

    I went in & ordered a roast beef sandwich... and they were out. Not much more to say.

    By far the best bakery in Maine. Not only are the pastries and breads freshly made each day, the sandwiches are to die for! My favorites are the croissants and the cinnamon rolls. I have tried almost everything in the shop and have yet to find a flaw. Search out the little yellow shack and be rewarded with the most tantalizing treasures Westbrook Maine has to offer.
