Baker's Way — Restaurant in Boothbay Harbor

This is, in its own way, the best restaurant in Boothbay Harbor, also Maine, also New England -- whatever Vietnamese/Southeast Asian food you want, will be prepared, day or night, and be good. The full selection of a bakery, from the immense apple fritters to the croissants, are served alongside; the giant rack of coffee signals its presence in town, open year round, as the locals' breakfast stop. And the huge, thick slices of bread for toast and sandwiches, as well as the massive array of breakfast sandwiches and omelettes and ready customization, have consistently made Baker's Way our stop for food on every single trip to the Boothbay Harbor region... Period. Since discovering it in 2012, I have never failed to eat at it at least once (but usually 2 - 5 times) when staying in the area, and have never failed to be delighted. It's especially impressive when it's clear one entire family runs the entire place, this almost superhuman group of Vietnamese women working incredibly long hours to keep the place running. Cannot recommend high enough, in short; it...

Fantastic food, friendly service and great prices. We have loved this little bakery for years, enjoying their coffee rolls and apple fritters. They're hot, fresh, delicious and huge! And the prices are crazy cheap. This past summer we tried lunches and ordered pad thai, spring rolls and chicken satay. Having tried everywhere in CT for decent pad thai, I was thrilled by theirs. Even my pickiest eater tried and loved the food. The spring rolls were huge, had the freshest ingredients and delicious dipping sauce. For those who complained about the service, I think you must be talking about a different bakery! The daughter of this mother/daughter team is super friendly. She gave us free samples of her bakery products and was so kind and helpful. Our only disappointment is we only get to go...

I just want to start off with how amazing and authentic the Pho is. That being said, this place is a diamond in the rough. It’s as if only the locals know it’s here. This family works hard and puts out some amazing stuff. The fritters are unreal, the baked breads, pastries all made by hand with so much love and passion. They aren’t appreciated enough in their community so I implore everyone that stops in boothbay harbor for their annual vacation to come here for breakfast and a bowl of Pho at lunch. I want to add that my family has had a home on Southport island for 40 years. I’m 32 and I’ve seen it all, eaten everywhere and tried everything it has to offer. It may be a whole in the wall to some, however, I garuntee you won’t regret...
