They have a large wholesale side, and make bread and pizza dough for a whole lot of restaurants in Maine. They also have a very charming retail storefront, with two small tables (though I am the only one who seems to sit and use them, there is a steady stream of people as I sit and eat, buying bread or pastries and taking it all to go.<br /><br />When you pull up, you are greeted by an Italian flag.<br /><br /><a href="http://eseme.dreamwidth.org/file/260.jpg"><img src="http://eseme.dreamwidth.org/file/200x200/260.jpg" alt="Arrival" title="Bottos1" /></a><br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://eseme.dreamwidth.org/228254.html#cutid1">Continue to the rest of the tour...</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br />In short, this place is a treasure, with delicious food and is well worth visiting is you are ever in Portland. Me, I plan to stop there anytime I am in Portland in the mornings.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=eseme&ditemid=228254" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2011-04-06:718915:227900 2017-09-02T17:55:44Z 2017-09-02T17:55:44Z happy public 4 I miss LJ so much, the communities, the writing...<br /><br />I had a really dark period in my life, and I am now about 8 months behind on all of that. And then they changed the TOS while I was gone too.<br /><br />So Dreamwidth it is! Most of my friends from LJ have journals here, and I think I should be able to find communities and catch up on reading, and POST STUFF!<br /><br />Yay! Patience while I read through and catch up on stuff.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=eseme&ditemid=227900" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2011-04-06:718915:357 2011-04-06T00:16:56Z 2011-04-06T00:16:56Z public 5 Hello World.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=eseme&ditemid=357" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
