“ Super busy in the morning and at lunch because they are amazing. I've purchased pork pie, chicken pie, donuts, cookies and a cake and I have never been disappointed. The dog likes their treats, too ”
“ One of, if not, the best whoopie pies I've ever had!! A box of them were given to us as a gift. We will definitely stop in when we're in Lewiston! ”
“ My wife and I planned an informal wedding reception which was intended to be a social gathering for our two families several months after we got married. We went with a non-traditional theme which included cupcakes a wedding topper cake for the dessert. We chose Grant's Bakery to do the topper cake and worked with Gary, one of their cake makers. Gary walked us through their process, portfolio and what options were available to us. He understood our theme and produced a white and gold themed topper cake which was spot on. My wife LOVED it and it. Unfortunately my wife and I were not able to have the cake for our wedding reception as we had to cancel due to a major incident impacting several of our Maine towns, but Gary was patient and willing to still make the cake despite their store being shut down for 2-3 days due to the incident. We pushed the due date for the cake to be ready, out a few days and when my wife picked it up, she LOVED it and complimented him several times on how he hit the theme with colors and the simplistic design. We were not looking for a large elaborate cake and despite the simple design, it exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Grant's Bakery for your wedding cake needs! ”
“ Had to come back for more bread and cream horns ! This time they put my items in a bag instead of a box . Cream horns deserve a box. Very fragile . ”
“ The brown bread is amazing we'll worth the drive from Portland Also the danish pastries are very yummy. It's a nice gem in Lewiston ”
“ I ordered a 2-tier red velvet wedding cake for our son and this cake was perfect! It was moist & fluffy and not too sweet. Just how I like it, a cake that is not only beautiful but tastes great too! The bride loved it and took home the leftovers! Best red velvet cake ever! ”
“ When passing through Lewiston, I make it a point to stop at Grant's Bakery whenever possible. Very little has changed at this family owned and operated spot -- it still looks the same, it still smells the same, and it still tastes just as delicious as ever. In this day and age you've gotta appreciate that sort of consistency and reliability in a bakery. Plus, kudos to L/A for keeping a mom and pop store like this in business since 1956! I grew up coming to Grant's almost every Saturday for our bean supper fixings (cholesterol free [vegetarian] baked beans, coleslaw [they make my favorite coleslaw in the world], brown bread [is there anything better than hot brown bread and butter?!], and - of course! - pastries for dessert. And every Christmas Eve we stopped in for yuletide cheer... and roasted nuts and tortiere! Nowadays, my favorite thing to grab? A half dozen of the eclairs! Generally speaking, I don't really like eclairs. But there's something magical about the Grant's ones (maybe it's nostalgia? maybe it's the way they change texture after sitting in the fridge for a couple hours? I don't know, but nothing like them exist elsewhere). The choux dough is tender, the cream in the center is silky and flavorful, and the chocolate icing is rich. With an iced coffee, it makes for the perfect midday pick me up. If you're interested, Grant's daily specials include: Wednesday - Hot Pork Pies and 1/2 Price Bread (buy a loaf at regular price, get a second loaf of equal or lesser value for half off) Thursday - Hot Chicken Pot Pies Friday - Hot Salmon Pies, Mac & Cheese Saturday - Hot Bakes Beans And recently they started making a new flavor of whoopie pie each month. Who knows what they'll have by the time you read this, but I would definitely find out if I were you! ”
“ Grants Bakery is my favorite of all the local bakeries in Lewiston. I believe each local bakery has its "thing" and Grants is definitely their amazing cakes, whoopie pies, and incredible customer service. From daily purchases, to fundraising opportunities, I've done it all with Grants. They make fundraising for your favorite charities very easy. I recently worked with Grants to make my wedding reception cake and of course they didn't disappoint. They shared their knowledge and wisdom to help us determine the appropriate cake size and tiering for the group we had. The cake was delicious as always! I also picked up about 32 dozen muffins this morning for an employee appreciation event. Grants helped us stay within budget and added several flavors to our mix that they don't traditionally bake. They were awesome! Oh and I can't forget to add, if you're looking for a fun chocolatey desert, order the poop cake! It's a riot and brings fun and awkwardness to any party. ”
