My father went into your establishment on Friday, 1/13 at 7:30am, prepared to shell out WELL over $75 on your chicken pot-pies and desserts to bring back home two states away. When he ordered, he was refused service. Flat-out refused the 6 chicken pot-pies he ordered. The cashier told him the following: "Oh, we cant do that. We will have people coming in today expecting these to be here; we cant just sell that many to you." Umm...what? He WAS a customer. He was looking to purchase them. And they refused to sell them. Side note: My Dad is Celiac. Our entire family - Celiacs. I thought that was who you catered to, the GF community? We used to love this place before rude service (from waitstaff AND owner Bevin) and failing food quality abounded. This behavior is shameful. Try treating your business like a business.

It was the day before christmas-did not seem that overpowring busy, my husband went to pick up a cake that I was told days prior they would have but no preorders. He just inquired if there was a cake available and the woman behind the counter was rude, dismissive and bothered. Its too bad customers have to take the brunt of others poor insight, even the person behind him was like OMG!! very sad. you lost a customer today and will tell others not to buy at your bakery. customers don"t need to be treated like that when just asking a question regardless what was going on. I called to speak to the owner and was told NO. I asked to be called back and nothing. treat people like this and hope your business ends.

My wife and I recently moved out of state and Bam Bam is on the short list of things we miss dearly. First of all everything I have ever eaten there has been delicious. Second, they really take pride in creating amazing gluten free treats that those of us with gluten intolerances dont get to experience often. I miss their cookie bars and especially their lemon bars. Their food isnt good "despite" being gluten free, it is good BECAUSE it is gluten free. The flavors are textures unlike anything else. So if youre big on sweets (gluten free or not), check them out. While youre at it ship me out a box of everything.

As someone with celiac disease, I was thrilled to find a cafe that really caters to those with food allergies. Everything there is gluten free, which is wonderful! However, every time I have been there over the past few years, the staff has always been incredibly rude. I come to Portland from out of state once or twice a year, so I tend to want to stock up on gluten free goodness! This last time, the staff behind the counter made fun of me for all of the food I was buying. Over all, the food and drinks are great, but the staff are consistently rude.

Amazing gluten free bakery! Visited from the west coast and by far exceeds other gluten free bakeries I have been to. I travel frequently and try to find a gluten free bakery in every city..Bam Bam is #1 so far. You cannot even tell the difference in taste in all items I purchased. Definitely worth the visit. Exceptional products! Thank you for the great treats!

Best gluten free bakery Ive ever been to. Now Ive had better chocolate chip cookies, but not much better. This place is so great because of the huge selection and everything we tried, whoopie pies, chocolate eclair, and chocolate chip cookies, was amazing. And very reasonably priced for a good bakery, especially GF bakery!

Fantastic food no matter the meal or time of day, good coffee, and great service. As someone with Celiac, couldnt be happier. Best compliment I can give is that I rarely tell anyone that its a GF bakery beforehand, and theyre always surprised when they find out after enjoying the food.

My office is nearby this place and Mary Kate Kelly and I have had very similar experiences. The desserts are okay for gluten free fare, but the staff is incredibly rude. Ive had multiple negative customer service experiences here and my most recent visit will certainly be my last.

So yummy and safe!! I am gluten free and dairy free and they had a ton of options. I picked up a peanut butter cookie, cupcake, coconut bread and a shepherds pie... tasted some of each and everything was absolutely delicious!!

The desserts were pretty good. They have a good variety, with vegan, gluten free and dairy free options. Nice, tranquil space that seemed to be popular with families. The coffee could be better, but still a good place overall.

Excellent selection of specialty baked goods and lunch dishes, complimented by their stellar teas and coffees. Best option if you or your group have dietary restrictions but still crave delicious pastries and goodies:)

Unfortunately, I found the cupcakes and cookies to be very dry and tasteless. It is probably unfair that I am judging them against a Gluten/Dairy/Nut free bakery in Connecticut that is absolutely amazing. Sorry.

Nice baked goods. Id put them up against any other bakery, gluten free or otherwise. My wifes allergy makes no difference here. We can just enjoy a coffee and some goodies. Glad we found the place. :-)

Amazing! Its such a treat to walk in someplace and have so many choices of delicious gluten free goodies! Every time we come up to Maine, we go out of our way to stop in and stock up!

I bought a dozen whoppie pies, and ate half of one, and had to throw the rest of them away. I can tell you from my experience i would rather agiate my celliac diease then eat those pies.

Great food and tea, good music, helpful staff, nice vibe. All their food is labeled with allergy info and there are many vegan options, which is rare and much appreciated!

High quality GF baked goods in downtown Portland. Staff seems more focused on their love of baking than customer service, but the product stands on its own.

Gluten is not a problem for me but I really enjoy the pastries and breads at Bam Bam. Love the texture and find the pastries not too sweet.

Incredibly slow service. If youve got 30 mins to wait before ordering and another 15 to get your pastry, come here.

The worst latte Ive ever had; cold and untasty. Not clean, cracked cups, and so many flies.
