Mourning Cloak
122 Washington Ave, Portland, ME
Crema's Take
“Mourning Cloak is a beloved neighborhood bakery in Portland where a seasonal, intentional approach to coffee and pastries creates a real gathering space. The standout here is their scratch-made biscuits—they anchor an excellent breakfast sandwich that keeps people coming back—paired with thoughtful specialty drinks and a genuinely warm atmosphere that feels equally welcoming whether you're lingering solo or meeting a friend.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

A vegan cinnamon roll? Within walking distance of my home? And it’s delicious? What a delight! No indoor seating but there are a couple of benches outside which are perfect for a sunny day. Seems like they are working out the kinks around their hours; I tried to stop in last…
Food and coffee were poor quality. Biscuit was undercooked and eggs were cold in breakfast sandwich. Looks good on instagram, but fails to deliver at all. There are at least ten better options in town, save your money! Edit, all the five star reviews are clearly from staff. It’s…
Happy to stop by and try this place! Choc chip cookie w brown butter? Phenomenal Polenta cookie? A little confusing on the premise but just tried it… AMAZING Fancy cheese thing? Tasty! Can’t wait to eat the carrot cake we brought home!
Perfect little spot with big time flavors.
Amazing biscuit breakfast sandwich! And the grain bowl for lunch was delicious and fresh. Love the vibe and the seasonal approach. Will definitely be going back!
Cute new bakery in Portland! Had the cinnamon roll which was delicious! Very friendly staff: I look forward to visiting again.
