Chocolatiers

We’re proud to have been receiving rave reviews like this since 1985. What started as a hobby in David “Izzy” Izenstatt’s kitchen is now served and available in over 200 restaurants, grocery stores and retail establishments throughout New England. Still crafted in small batches by Izzy in his Portland, Maine bakery and storefront, the collection has grown to include year round classics, seasonal favorites and now gluten free offerings.

The Culinary Concepts program is designed as a 2 year intensive that prepares the student for immediate entry into the exciting world of culinary professionals. Portland Maine is one the richest cities in the country for dining out. World class chefs and restaurants are plentiful, and they are always looking for quality employees.

Many people work their way through college by waiting tables. This program will ensure you know what you are committing to and how to do earn top gratuities with grace.

Chef Ed Foley is a Pastry Chef who trained the new owner, Andrea Swanson, and has been a friend and mentor to her for over 15 years. Andrea has worked in restaurants and hotels in the Portland and Greater Portland area for over 20 years learning the ropes and honing the skills she acquired working with her mentor Ed Foley. As Ed looked to the future, and made the decision to sell his gourmet pastry shop, Andrea was first on his list to pass the baker’s torch, and she jumped at the opportunity and named it Scattoloni. Her main goal is to provide the same quality service and products at Scattoloni that you’ve come to love and expect from Foley’s. Her second is to entice you in to try her own creations alongside the favorites, so save room! All baked goods are made on the premises with top quality ingredients.

Standard Baking Co. is a family owned and operated business that has been part of downtown Portland since 1995. Our intention has always been to make truly good, artisanal baked goods and to serve our customers as best as possible.

Handcrafted and baked throughout the day in our 12-ton, stone deck oven, you’ll find traditional French baguettes, hearty German Vollkornbrot, fragrant Focaccia, and our all-organic Miche, made from 100% Maine grown and milled whole grains. Hand-rolled croissants, pain au chocolat, brioche, and scones, are prepared in plain view in our open production bakery and often served still warm from our ovens. Everything we make embodies our commitment to artisanal methods, natural ingredients and delicious food.
