16 gas stations now food establishments

(CNN) — The sea-salt flaked biscuit overflows with decadent scoops of jam and butter.

Filled with light, subway tile and loopy hand-lettering, Tandem Bakery in Portland, Maine has all the hallmarks of a hipster enclave. Heck, it's even named after a type of bicycle.
