Visit Bonaparte Breads Baltimore Maryland

By Coleen Torres


Baltimore, the capital city of Maryland, has a lot of history. Nowhere is the heritage better preserved than in Fells Point, a town founded in 1763 and incorporated into the larger city ten years later. Fells Point is on the inner harbor, and right on the Ann Street pier is Bonaparte Breads Baltimore, an off-shoot of the original establishment in Savage Mill. The cafe is in an old building, has great views of the water from its spacious interior, and also has lots of outdoor seating. Its claim to fame is authentic French breads, pastries, and lunch menu items.

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.

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.

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.

Coffee or assorted teas are served in large cups, with a free refill. Rave reviews talk about a cup of great coffee and an almond croissant or fruit tart as the perfect afternoon break. All the bread is made with organic flours: baguettes, country loaves made with unbleached flour, or whole wheat and multi-grain varieties. Fruit breads are another favorite offering of the cafe.

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.

Check out the five and four star reviews online for lots of details about the Fells Point cafe. Patrons say that they can usually find parking along the street during the day. 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.
