“ What a fantastic gem!!! Incredible pastries and superb regular coffee. Wonderful service and definitely do not miss this place when you're in Belfast!! ”

“ Something for everyone! Cinnamon rolls are outstanding! It's our must stop bakery. Try the Hum dinger or the Funny Bones if you're a chocolate person! ”

“ Delicious and not super sweet! We got the coffee cake, eclair, and pecan sticky buns. All were wonderful. ”

“ Small bakery, huge taste and hospitality! When they are closed, they have an additional little 24 hour open section to purchase their made fresh daily pastries. They are DELICIOUS. I highly recommend! ”

“ We have been going to Sweet Cheeks Bakery as long as they have been open, and for the life of me, I have nothing bad to say about the place. I briefly kvetched about not being open later, and voila, they seemingly heard my wish and installed a pastry vending machine so that local residents could "grab an eclair at 2am." I was hoping that they would expand into breakfast items, and there they go, creating breakfast burritos and sandwiches. When I was sure I'd never find an amazing lunch spot in the area, boom, grab and go lunch sandos that rival any lunch joint in the state. I can't say enough good things about the charming and friendly counter gal, the warm, welcoming shop, the variety of delicious and gorgeous pastries and the ease of getting in and out of the location. I cannot say enough good things! What a gem! ”

“ This place is absolutely amazing! The owners, Johnathon & Mike are as personable as can be as are the awesome staff! They treat you like family! Everything we have tried has been absolutely delicious. My personal favorite are their lemon bars. Even though I have no need for anything gluten free, I have tried what they offer, and it's also excellent. I've watched this business grow and it's a treasure in the community. ”

“ I saw an article about how Sweet Cheeks Bakery on Verona Island had a 24/7 vending machine for its wares. Frankly, I'm surprised that it took me as long as it did to get there. But my husband and I stopped by recently to peruse their offerings, and we were very pleasantly surprised. The door to the room to the right of the bakery proper is open, and inside is a black machine just like the one I saw in the picture in the WABI article. There are many levels of treats available - at that time only one non-sweet one, a chicken salad sandwich - with buttons on the machine to whirl them around so that you can peruse all of them. The prices are neatly posted next to each level. When I was there, there were carmelitas (if you haven't had one, you should), lemon bars, carrot cake, various flavors of cheesecake, mock Hostess cupcakes . . . That's all I remember, but I'm sure there were more offerings than that. And every item was good-sized, too - they don't scrimp on their portions! The Hostess cupcake, in particular, was the size of my head! I had collected recipes and seen pictures of carmelitas, but never had one, so, on impulse, I grabbed one. The other thing I chose was one of my favorite desserts that I've made myself many times - a lemon bar. I have to confess - we popped open that carmelita on the way home, and it was HEAVEN! It was more than enough for two, and incredibly delicious, with its brown sugary oatmeal crust, the chocolate chips, and the pools of caramel on the top . . . Ahem. Sorry. (wiping the drool away) We managed to hold off on eating the lemon bar until the next evening. Frankly, I was prepared to be disappointed. Most places don't make the filling lemony enough, nor do they manage to get the right crust-to-filling ratio. But Sweet Cheeks Bakery definitely does BOTH! It was one of the best lemon bars I've ever eaten - lovely, tart lemon curd lying on a bed of sweet, buttery shortbread. It was unbelievably good! And, again, more than enough for two to enjoy. So, suffice it to say, we'll be back - and try to hit them while they're open. They seem to be expanding into savory offerings, too - breakfast pizzas, pulled pork and meatball subs, as well as family sized and individual chicken pot pies, to mention a few, which all look amazing! If their meal options are anywhere near as good as their sweets, I'll be living on their doorstep in the near future! ”

“ We pulled in shortly before closing time. The fun and energetic employee patiently answered all of our questions about the delicious pastries and then volunteered, "Do you need recommendations on places to visit today? I've got 'em!" Thanks to her we found a delicious lunch in a very scenic location, visited a beautiful small coastal town, and stopped at a lighthouse we hadn't known about. P.S. The pastries were as delicious as they looked! ”

“ An amazing gem in the small town of Bucksport, Maine. Egg sandwiches, and some of the most amazing baked goods we've ever seen. As someone who suffers from a gluten sensitivity, they went out of their way to accommodate my last minute request for a gluten free egg sandwich. It. Was. THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD. (Do the business a favor and call ahead if you need A gluten-free egg sandwich before coming). Is there gluten free English Muffin is unlike anything I've ever had. They have egg sandwiches and home fries in a turnstile that's ready for you as you walk in. My wife's croissant egg sandwich was not greasy at all in her words, "Perfect. Perfection" Home fries? Beautiful. I got the blueberry lemon scone (gluten free), but couldn't talk my wife into getting the bacon maple doughnut. My only regret is that we found this gem on our way out of town instead of on our way in. Although, my waist line is thanking me for that. If you find yourself in Bucksport, please make sure you stop by the Sweet Cheeks. Amazing people, and the most amazing baked goods and egg sandwiches you'll find . ”
