Our Story

The walls remember more than we do.

Portage Bakery opened its doors in 1930, and the photographs still hanging on our walls trace nearly a century of Niagara Falls mornings — regulars who came in as kids and now bring their own grandchildren for the same sausage rolls.

Nothing here is shipped in frozen. Bread is mixed, proofed and baked on-site before sunrise, the same way it always has been, by the same family that has run this counter for three generations.

"We don't rush the dough, and we don't rush the people who eat it."

Notes From Regulars

What Niagara Falls says about us

We've gone since I was a little kid, picking up pizza after church with my gram. Their bread is still the best in the city.

— Longtime regular, Niagara Falls

Ordered our wedding cake and three catering trays here. Everything arrived on time and the tasting made the whole decision easy.

— Wedding client, Niagara-on-the-Lake

Niagara's best-kept secret. The cannoli are filled to order, and the staff treats every customer like family.
