Our Story

The Beginning

Labadie’s Bakery was founded in 1925 in Lewiston, Maine. From the very beginning, the focus was simple: make high-quality baked goods using real ingredients and time-tested methods. What started as a small local bakery quickly became a staple in the community, known for consistency, freshness, and straightforward, no-nonsense baking.

Rooted in Maine

For generations, Labadie’s Bakery has remained deeply connected to Maine. The bakery built its reputation by serving local customers who valued quality and tradition. While many things have changed over the years, the commitment to keeping production local and maintaining the integrity of the product has never wavered.

From Local Favorite to Maine Tradition

Over time, whoopie pies became one of the bakery’s signature products. What was once just another item in the case grew into a defining part of the business. As demand increased, Labadie’s leaned into what it did best—producing large, classic whoopie pies that reflected the original Maine style. No shortcuts, no gimmicks, just a well-made product that people kept coming back for.
