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.

The cafe is perfectly situated on the waterfront in Fells Point, the charming historic district of the port city. Brick ovens help give the bread an authentic French taste and texture, and 'savoir faire' inspires the croissants, tarts, quiches, and sandwiches. The cafe is open seven days a week from 8 to 6, and there is usually parking to be found during the day. Bakers use organic flour for the baguettes, whole and multi grain loaves, pain de campaigne (country), and fruit breads.

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.

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.

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.

Fells Point lends its historic charm and prime inner-harbor location to the total experience. This once-independent town was founded in 1763 but has been part of the larger city since 1773. The oldest residence in Baltimore is found there. The cafe provides the perfect spot for lunch or an afternoon break in sightseeing.

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.
