Visit 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.

This is a well-appointed place, offering everything from a child's menu to free wifi. Many of the online reviews mention the luxurious leather chairs, which make spending time in the cafe remarkably comfortable. Open from 8 AM to 6 PM seven days a week, the cafe offers coffee and other beverages, authentic brick-oven breads made from organic flours, sandwiches and quiches, salads, and delicious pastries.

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.

Monsieur LeFilliatre promises fresh, wholesome food, and the menu is sourced locally whenever possible. You can go online to check out the assortment of quiches, hot or cold sandwiches, salad plates, breads, and desserts. Customer reviews say that the lunch specials - a whole sandwich, side salad, beverage, and dessert pastry - is filling as well as delicious. Often mentioned is the combinations of breads and sandwich fillings, melted together on the panini grill.

Robust coffee or flavorful tea is served in large cups, with one free refill. Pastries are delicious; the almond croissants and fruit tarts seem to be general favorites, judging from reviews. Four and five stars are freely given to this waterfront niche.

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.

It's the perfect place for a pleasant lunch - fresh, wholesome food with great service and a wonderful view - or a quiet afternoon break from work or sightseeing.

It's a winning combination: the city's most appealing area, waterfront views, and authentic French fare. Plan a day at Fells Point and make sure not to miss Bonaparte Breads.
