The best bakeries & sweet shops in Waterville

“Sunrise Bagel is turning out artisan sourdough bagels that ferment for over 50 hours, the kind you plan your morning around. Go classic or grab a stacked bagel sandwich like the Mainer or Sunrise, plus they cater, and with spots in Waterville, Augusta, Oakland, and Gardiner, it's an easy local fix.”

“Craving something fun, bright, and locally made? Eat Neon, LLC shakes up the usual bakery routine with real-fruit purée slushies, coffee slushies with homemade creamers, boba add-ons, plus gluten-free no-bake cheesecakes and trifles. They often pop up at Waterville Food Truck Park and will crash your next party, too.”

“Belangers Ice Cream does way more than cones. Think cooked-to-order seafood baskets with whole Maine clams, fried chicken on scratch-made buns, burgers ground in-house with local Maine beef, house-smoked meats, and handmade pies.”

“Long-running chain serving signature breakfast items & a variety of coffee drinks.”
