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.

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.

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.

Bonaparte Breads offers carry out as well as eat-in, and they would love to do your wedding, birthday, or other celebration cake. Their great products are found in many farmers' markets, organic stores, and restaurants in Washington DC, Baltimore, and Annapolis. Check out the home website for more on the history, atmosphere, and menu offerings of this great place to meet friends, relax with the whole family, or stop in while visiting historic Fells Point.

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.
