Night Moves Bread
695 Broadway, South Portland, ME
Crema's Take
“Night Moves Bread is a genuine scratch bakery that's earned serious respect from both home bakers and culinary professionals for their exceptional sourdough and pastries made with real artisanal methods and top-tier ingredients. Beyond the stellar bread, it's a proper neighborhood gathering spot where you can linger over coffee and a flaky pastry at breakfast, grab a thoughtful lunch sandwich, or return on Friday nights for pizza—this is the kind of place locals actively seek out on return visits to Maine. The fact that a Boston Globe feature and chef recommendations keep drawing people to this hard-to-find South Portland gem says everything about the quiet confidence of their craft.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Slow-sit spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
