Maine Day Three- Breakfast at Standard Baking Co.
I woke up like a bolt of lightening our first morning in Portland. I knew Mr. T would be taking advantage of vacation time with an extra long sleep so I didn't think twice about heading out for some early morning treats at Standard Baking Company.
It was about 8:45 when I arrived and the line was already out the door. I crossed my fingers the sticky bun and scones were still in stock and lucky for me they were!
The Blueberry Scone was a complete disappointment- lots of blueberries but too much flour and no crunch. It just kind of fell apart in a mealy, oat mess.

The Sticky Bun was all I dreamed it would be...thick and fluffy with a crunchy caramel bottom and swirls of cinnamon, nuts and brown sugar folded into the dough. I would be back for another one of these:)
I had been hoping to round out breakfast with an Almond Croissant but they sold out just minutes before my arrival so I subbed in a Financier. I took a bite as I walked back to the hotel and I literally had a family of tourists crash into my back. The buttery, chewy crust and rich melted chocolate was so incredible it stopped me dead in my tracks! I turned to apologize to the group but had such a big smile on my face I think they thought I was a bit crazy. I tucked the Financier in my bag and quickly went on my way...next stop- LUNCH!
