Don't Miss Bonaparte Breads Baltimore

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.

Owner and Frenchman Pierre LeFilliatre came from Paris to Savage Point, Maryland to open his first location in 1996. He quickly became known for delicious breads and superb pastries. When it was time to expand, he was fortunate to find a charming old building and an unbeatable setting on the harbor in Fells Point. The inside is decorated in the French style.

Locally sourced ingredients are made fresh daily into quiches, salads, sandwiches, and desserts. Sandwiches are served hot or cold, and the lunch special includes beverage, whole sandwich, small salad, and pastry of choice - enough even if you're really hungry. You really must try a tasty sandwich made on the panini grill. For those who want a lighter meal, chicken and tuna salad are made on-site.

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.

Sitting in a leather chair in the cafe or outside on the water is great, but there is also take-away if you want to enjoy the fare at home or with friends elsewhere. The pastry chefs will also do your wedding cake or help highlight some other celebration. The staff is happy to customize a meal for you, taking into account dietary restrictions and personal preferences. Check out the home page to see the menu, learn more about the owner's mission, and get the phone number for contact.

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.

It's hard to beat the combined attractions of historic Fells Point and authentic French cuisine. Go online to find out more about both the cafe and the historic district.
