Praise For Bonaparte Breads Baltimore Maryland

By Coleen Torres


Baltimore, Maryland's capital, is an historic city with an enchanting area called Fells Point. Founded in 1763, this inner port town became part of the larger metropolitan area ten years later, has the city's oldest existing residence, and is believed to be the site of the first pre-Revolutionary War coffee house. Bonaparte Breads Baltimore is on the Ann Street Pier with extensive outdoor seating as well as a great view of the water from the spacious interior.

Combine authentic French bread, food, and pastries with great coffee and you have a winning combination. The cafe is everybody-friendly, with a child's menu and free wifi. The leather chairs are so comfortable that they get special mention in many reviews. The cafe is open daily from 8 AM to 6 PM, and there is usually street parking to be found during the daytime. Brick ovens give authenticity to the baguettes, country loaves, whole wheat, and multi-grain varieties, which are made with organic flour.

Pierre LeFilliatre owned a cafe in Paris before he came to the US and opened one in Savage Mill, Maryland. He wants to give Americans authentic French breads baked in brick ovens, delicious pastries, and fresh, healthy main dishes, as well as robust, flavorful coffee. When he wanted a second establishment, the waterfront of Fells Point was perfect. This area draws many tourists and is also home to discerning people who value quality.

Ingredients for the menu items are sourced locally, often from the farmers' markets where Bonaparte bread is sold. Everything is made on-site, freshness being as important as wholesomeness and authenticity. There is a lunch special every day, which includes a beverage, small salad, whole sandwich, and dessert pastry of choice. Customer reviews - of which there are many - speak of the luxurious leather chairs and the perfect paninis.

The coffee is robust and comes in all the popular styles. Tea and coffee are served in large cups, with one free refill. Dessert pastries are the cafe's focus - along with the breads - and are justly famous throughout the area. The almond croissants and fruit tarts keep popping up in reviews as not to be missed.

The cafe is a great place to eat, but they also offer take out. In fact, you can talk to the staff and they will customize a meal for you, taking into account dietary restrictions and personal taste. They also do wedding cakes and desserts for other celebrations. The same great products that make the cafes so popular are sold at farmers' markets, specialty stores, and fine restaurants in DC, Baltimore, and Annapolis.

There are many customer reviews on this important part of the major historic district of the city. Four and five stars are given over and over by patrons. The owner wants everyone to know that freshness and authenticity are his main objectives, as well as good service, good food, great coffee, and a pleasant ambiance.

Bonaparte Breads are enough to make you decide to visit Fells Point, and vice versa. This win-win combination can be either a wonderful one-time excursion or a habit that brings you back on a regular basis.
