Ugly Duckling Maine

"Ugly Duckling was one of our favorite breakfast stops in Portland. This charming café combines excellent breakfasts, extraordinary desserts, and drinks crafted with genuine care and dedication. The desserts have that special flavor of treasured family recipes. The coffee is delicious, the beverages are thoughtfully prepared, and the breakfast menu offers creative combinations while maintaining the warmth and comforting taste of homemade cooking. Everything we tried was a true culinary delight. The atmosphere is cozy, full of character, and carefully designed to make you want to stay a little longer. You can feel the experience, passion, and attention to detail in every corner. If you’re visiting Portland, Maine, and enjoy great breakfasts, outstanding desserts, and excellent coffee, Ugly Duckling is well worth a visit. Highly recommended."

"Folks were really great and understanding, there was an error with our ordering App and they were still super friendly and willing to follow through. We didn't get a chance to stay and pickup on the atmosphere, but the bakery was cozy and gorgeous. Very happy to deal with an understanding busines especially so close to closing time. Really appreciated."

"A must visit if you’re in Portland! The breakfast sandwiches on the homemade English muffins were absolutely incredible. We ordered the specialty brown sugar honeycomb lattes and it was absolutely amazing. Ended up stopping here twice on our trip! It does seem to get pretty busy in there and the tables are on a first come, first serve basis. The staff was very friendly despite being very busy!"
