The Forecaster has published an article about Carlos Garcia, co-owner and baker at Mainely Grains Bakers in South Portland.
The business, at 904 Broadway, is a quaint operation. A little more than a year old, it offers fresh daily selections of breads, rolls, baguettes and sweet and occasionally savory pastries, including Danishes, muffins, cookies, and hand-pies.
Despite the newness of the operation, it has been a plan in Garcia’s mind for years.
I REALLY like this place. I can get stone ground whole wheat sandwich bread that contains just 7 ingredients, no crap, that the kids love. Also super happy to be able to get hamburger and hot dog buns which are SO hard to get outside of the supermarket. Their portuguese rolls are also a big hit with the family. Mainely Grains Bakers is much appreciated!
Those Portuguese rolls are the real deal – almost exactly like they make them in Portugal. Apparently, he’s working on those little custard tarts, pasteis de nata, a traditional Portuguese dessert. Can’t wait!
