Sunday Bakeries in Portland, Maine: Hours and Pickup

Planning a Sunday bakery stop in Portland, Maine? Standard Baking Co., Belleville and Tandem Coffee + Bakery publish Sunday hours, but their opening windows and ordering rules differ. Standard starts at 7:30 a.m.; Belleville and Tandem start at 8. Only Standard lists an afternoon closing time among these three.

This is a practical comparison of published schedules, not a tasting ranking or a complete list of Portland bakeries. Details were checked September 24, 2026. Recheck the bakery's own page before leaving, especially around holidays.

Choose around your Sunday schedule

• Standard Baking Co., 75 Commercial Street: 7:30 a.m.–5 p.m. Special-order pickup has a separate 9 a.m.–4:30 p.m. window. Official hours and pickup notice.
• Belleville, 767 Forest Avenue: 8 a.m.–noon. Its current website places all operations at this Woodfords Corner address. Official location and hours.
• Tandem Coffee + Bakery, 742 Congress Street: 8 a.m.–1 p.m. Its published same-day online ordering window is 7:45–10:15 a.m. Official bakery schedule.

If you're choosing an afternoon stop, Standard is the option to check from this shortlist. For a morning plan, the ordering cutoff may matter as much as the closing time. None of these schedules guarantees a particular pastry will remain available.

Standard: distinguish the shop hours from pickup hours

Standard Baking Co. has the earliest published opening and latest closing of these three. An early counter visit and collecting a special order are different plans: the shop opens at 7:30 a.m., but its special-order notice starts pickup at 9.

Its official online shop asks you to choose a shopping date because some products are baked daily and others only on certain days. Use that date-specific selection rather than treating the full catalog as Sunday's menu. Breads, breakfast pastries and treats have separate shop categories, useful if you are choosing between breakfast now and something to take home.

For an order, confirm the selected date and pickup arrangements before paying. We have not placed a test order or verified a future pickup slot.

Belleville: use the current Forest Avenue address

The important location detail for Belleville is 767 Forest Avenue. The bakery's own website says it now operates entirely from Woodfords Corner, so an old Munjoy Hill address is not the destination for this plan.

Belleville describes its focus as laminated pastry. Its official website lists Saturday and Sunday retail hours of 8 a.m.–noon and links to an ordering page. Follow that link for current choices; we have not verified its available pickup dates, order cutoff or individual items. The listed closing time is not an inventory promise.

Tandem: check the same-day order window

Tandem's Congress Street bakery offers a different planning choice: its online ordering opens before the shop, then closes before the end of service. The bakery page lists 7:45–10:15 a.m. for same-day ordering and 8 a.m.–1 p.m. for the bakery itself.

Check that page for the official pickup link and read the available options there. A missed online cutoff does not, by itself, mean the bakery has closed; likewise, published opening hours do not confirm an available order slot.

For the distinction between Congress Street and the café/roastery, see our Tandem locations guide. This Sunday comparison concerns the bakery at 742 Congress Street; our Tandem profile also links to the business's official channels.

Before you head out

Pick one destination, check its current schedule and match any order to the right address and date. Ask the bakery directly about ingredients or accommodations that affect your visit; this guide does not establish allergy safety, accessibility, seating availability or wait times.
