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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
