History
ZU Bakery was founded by Barak Olins in a Freeport, Maine barn owned by his brother and sister-in-law in 2000. It moved to Clark Street in Portland's West End in 2022. The bakery uses wood-fired ovens to bake French-style pastries.[4] It won the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Bakery in 2024.[5]
