If you live in the Maryland-Northern Virginia area, you may already be familiar with the fine French breads and pastries of Pierre LeFilliatre. They are sold in fine shops and restaurants throughout the area. However, the Bonaparte Breads Baltimore cafe in Fells Point is a place fans of these authentic products might want to visit to truly understand what this Frenchman has brought to America.
Combine authentic French bread, food, and pastries with great coffee and you have a winning combination. The cafe is everybody-friendly, with a child's menu and free wifi. The leather chairs are so comfortable that they get special mention in many reviews. The cafe is open daily from 8 AM to 6 PM, and there is usually street parking to be found during the daytime. Brick ovens give authenticity to the baguettes, country loaves, whole wheat, and multi-grain varieties, which are made with organic flour.
LeFilliatre used to have a cafe in the heart of Paris. He opened his first American one in Savage Mill, Maryland. The old building on Ann Street in Fells Point is the perfect second location, with fine views of the water, room for a spacious and comfortable dining room, and ample outdoor seating. The ambiance as well as the food is French. The cafe is family-friendly, offering a child's menu, as well as having wifi for those who want it.
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.
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.
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.
