The Whole Grain Bakeshop

This charming bakery offers delicious vegan and gluten-free treats that will keep you coming back for more. The whoopie pies are absolutely perfect, featuring just the right level of sweetness.

Stopped for some of Kelly's yummy squash soup, and left with sandwich buns, dinner rolls and chocolate cookies too! We enjoyed the rolls with our supper last night, and of course the chocolate cookies are gone! Love the bake shop.????

Best gluten free breads and goodies around! My husband is not gluten free and he prefers Kelly's gluten free bread over any regular bread! She also makes doggie treats that our fussy dog loves! Highly recommend checking out this bakeshop even if you'renot gluten free! ???? View menu

I've been gluten free for almost three years now, but I miss bread terribly so I've set out to find a sandwich bread that I like. The sandwich bread I got here was immaculate!!! The owner was so nice as well. My sister loved the cookies, but the realstar is the bread that I am now hooked on!!!

We stopped by on our way through town, and we're so glad we did! I tried the gluten-free blueberry coffee cake, and it was absolutely delicious—hard to believe it was gluten-free! Everything in the shop looked great, it was very clean, and parking next to the building was easy. I highly recommend this place!

The owner is incredibly friendly and will happily answer any questions you have. Parking can be a bit tricky, but I managed to use the lot across the street. There are many vegan options, including bread, desserts, and jams. They don’t have cashiers or similar services as mentioned in the description, but they are quite attentive. I had the tomato quinoa soup, which came with a side of cornbread, and I also tried the carrot cake. Everything was delicious, and I regret not coming here sooner! View menu

November 2019: I enjoyed some delicious cranberry cardamom cinnamon bread! The vegan gluten-free cupcakes with glitter frosting were amazing! In a previous post, I mentioned their excellent gluten-free and vegan options, including creatively flavored banana bread cookies. You can also place orders in advance. The location, by St. Patrick's Church at the corner of North Main St in Brewer, is convenient and welcoming. They also sell their treats at farmers' markets—Wednesdays at the Bangor Grange and Saturdays at the greenhouse on Buck St.

Overall, Grain Bakeshop specializes in gluten-free options, and when I visited, there were also some vegan choices available. Each item clearly displays its ingredients and labels. I enjoyed some delicious vegan cookies, and there were also vegan mini-pies and cornbread on offer. The selection changes daily, but the baker frequently updates their Facebook page with the day's offerings, allowing you to see what is available and which items are vegan. Best of all, they accept custom orders in advance, so you can request vegan bread, cookies, or other tasty treats.

If you have allergies or specific dietary needs and are willing to spend a bit more for some nice treats, this place is an excellent find. If you’re looking for something particular or need larger quantities, I recommend calling ahead, as we noticed that some items had just been sold out when we arrived. Also, don’t be misled by old reviews; this place is not located in a church basement, but rather has its own storefront. While the owner does accept card payments, cash is preferred for small businesses to avoid transaction fees. I would definitely return! EDIT: I did return, and wow, the gingersnap cookies are incredible! They don’t taste gluten-free at all. I’ve added some pictures that... View menu
