one of my favorite places ever!!!!! I’ve been diagnosed with celiac for 10 years now, and it’s always such a treat to walk into a bakery knowing I can eat anything on their menu 🩷🩷

Be sure to check hours and days open as they are limited at this time.
Orders must be placed online ahead of time. No walk in orders. Both ordering and pick-up were quick and easy.
We drove specifically to the area for this bakery based on reviews to find the location ‘closed’ to the public. We then read that local coffee shops carry their desserts- mapped out a close one only to learn they have a ‘muffin’. Rather disappointing and frustrating. Can’t comment on the safety or taste of the food as we’ve not tasted.

So glad I drove 10 minutes out of Portland to Falmouth to go to this dedicated gluten-free bakery. I think it’s my favorite bakery that I’ve been to in the country and I’ve been to so many! Everything I tried was so delicious. And they have a lot for people that are also dairy free like me. I had a carrot cake, fudge, a brownie with peanut butter frosting on top, a sugar cookie, a peanut butter cookie, and a raspberry tart! You can’t go wrong with any of those … everything was so moist and the flavor was so great that I had to keep telling myself that this was gluten-free. I also avoided a few of their items that contain oats. The only thing I was bummed about is that I didn’t go earlier in the day (went in about 30 minutes before closing and they still had a lot of baked goods to choose from) because they had pizza with vegan cheese and they were all sold out. But I saw their non-vegan pizza and it looked amazing. They also have a lot of other regular food there which is nice for a bakery because you don’t always see that. Highly recommend this bakery!! If you skip this place, you’ll really be missing out.

Only tried sandwiches, but everything looked good! Dedicated gf which is obviously fantastic, although a few pastries do contain oats. Sandwich bread is a little thick but still solid. Would recommend!

SO MANY OPTIONS!!! This place is a real gem. Get there early because things sell out. Highly recommend the whoopee pie.

Bakery goodies are excellent but lunch sandwiches were good. Smashburgers had a small amount of beef and was more of a burger. It was rolled in foil, which steams the burger and bun and it looses its crispness.

One of the best GF chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. Had a tuna fish sandwich both the tuna salad and bun were delicious. Hands down best GF cinnamon roll I've had. Look forward to a return visit.

The service was great. They even stayed a little open for us to purchase our delicious bakes when they were closing up.
Dedicated GF
WOW! I had a breakfast sandwich with the best, moist flavorful buns I ever had. They make everything fresh daily. I bought a large loaf of Oat Honey bread: to die for! And I bought 2 cinnamon rolls. I just ate one and tasted like the delicious sweet roll i used to by at cinnabond years ago before my celiac days!

Best gluten free Cinamon rolls! My husband, who is not celiac, loved their cinnamon rolls. We bought these rolls on a visit to Portland, Me last Feb 2022. Sadly, we arrived this weekend to find Bam Bam Bakery is closed. We are so disappointed! The best gluten free bakery in the NE is gone!

Ordered a cake and cupcakes for my kids’ birthday party. It was awesome!! My girls and I were able to eat it without any issues and everyone thought it was amazing!

Their website clearly explained that they are no longer a traditional café-type bakery. Goodies are still available to the public, but you must order ahead online. Ordering was simple and our order was ready quickly. Everything was delicious! Items are large, no tiny cookies or two-bite muffins. Everything we tried was the best we've ever had. Alas, they were sold out of PopTarts when we were there. We will be back every time we are even remotely in the area!

I’m so excited BamBam is back open in their new Brighton Ave location! Their bread, baked goods, and POPTARTS are out of this world. 100% gf and lots of dairy free options as well.

Just a heads up as of today... we walked 10 blocks to try them out, and they are in the process of relocating. Please check their website before you head to their current address on Commercial Street.

Exclusively gluten free so everything is safe
I had my first chicken pot pie in 10 years, absolute heaven 🤤

We love Bam Bam! My favorites are the breakfast sandwiches and quiche, but everything is great. Dedicated GF bakery.
Returned after many sad years away and BamBam does not disappoint. Amazing delicious and so affordable!! Cinnamon rolls are the best EVER tasted since GF. How many can I put in my carry on suitcase? Awesome bakery. Lemon bars are the best. I had Stromboli for lunch one day. It was delicious !! So enjoyable when in know I don't have to worry about gluten! Wish this bakery was in California! Easy walking distance from old port.
Oh, sweet heaven. I got out of there with a very reasonable bill of $25ish. Molasses cookies, sprinkle cookies, chocolate chip cookie, oatmeal raisin cookie, eclair (!), lemon square, apple pie bar, and a snickers bar - amazing! We haven't eaten it all yet, but feedback on the lemon bar, chocolate chip cookie, and oatmeal cookie was, "yum"! My complaint about the eclair is that the filling was too loose. Just to be able to go somewhere and tell the kids that they can have anything they want is such a treat!
Great selection, fair price. Food tastes great. Only place I've been able to find gf tiramisu.
Fantastic assortment of items. Went for breakfast and lunch. Severe gluten allergy and no issues. Delicioso!
Awesome food and superb service. Wonderful to find celiac safe away from home that tastes so good. Made my day!
Wish this was in Maryland!! So hard to decide what to eat🙂
Excellent!! Everything GF and most dairy free too. A DF GF paradise.
My 7 year old had a cinnamon roll and was in heaven. Delicious!
OMG! All the things my celiac daughter has never had! Where to start?!! Fantastic find
Gluten-free heaven! Delicious baked goods, pizza, bread, and more!
The entire bakery/cafe is gluten free. There are so many options! I enjoyed a slice of pizza and a Whoopie Pie :-) highly recommend.
So amazing!! The bagel and the chicken pot pie were delicious. So many options, it felt so safe!
The best cinnamon roll ever (DF too!)!! A must for any celiac passing through Portland! I was in Heaven!
THE BEST BAKERY EVER. TRY THE CHICKEN POTPIE!!!! Everything I tried here was incredible!!!!
Amazing bakery. DF options across all kinds of baked goods. Wild blueberries coffee cake was FABULOUS.
AWESOME PLACE!!!!!!! Everything is gluten free.... EVERYTHING!!! The eclair was my favorite, they go fast, since it is such a hot commodity for celiac people, like me!! Definitely stop here if you’re in Portland!
Excellent baked goods at this dedicated gluten free facility! The pizza and sweet baked goods were very tasty. I was less impressed with their savory dishes, including their soups.
Amazing baked goods. You will not be disappointed. Everything is GF.
Entire place is gluten free. Lots of amazing options to choose from. Prices were decent as well. Food was very good!
When BamBam opened, it was a fabulous place but when the new owner took over the quality plummeted. I decided to give it one more try and the cookies I bought for my son were ROCK HARD. I will never be back...BUT if you are desperate for GF, this place is safe but not that great unfortunately.
Omg...thank you thank you!! So much to choose from and could not be happier. You have made celiacs so happy! It's nice to travel and be safe for a change.
Travel from Boston from Bam Bam. Simply the best!! Don’t miss them.
Amazing! Such a variety of baked goods. Includes dairy and nut free items, too. Great breakfast!
Everything is gluten free! Staff isn’t the friendliest but the baked goods are great.
