Perch Cafe & Bakery

Perch Cafe & Bakery is a family-owned neighborhood café and scratch bakery located at 11 Friendship Road in Waldoboro, Maine, founded in 2022 by Lynn Bachelder, who operates the business alongside two of her children. The café serves locally roasted espresso drinks, specialty teas, drip coffee, and a rotating menu of house-baked goods — including bagels, biscuits, cinnamon rolls, and gluten-free options — sourcing coffee from Little Wolf in Ipswich, MA, and Tern in nearby Jefferson, ME. Known as a welcoming community hub, Perch is deeply committed to inclusivity, flying a Pride flag outside its doors and hosting local events that foster connection among Waldoboro residents and visitors alike.
