Before you dine at Bread & Chocolate, I strongly suggest you first down a huge glass of water along with a large apple. Forewarned and all that. You’re about to encounter some beautiful calories. I’m talking Chocolate Banana French Toast, Eggs Benedict, Cordon Blue Panini and silky dark chocolate fondue with little teacakes. On Sundays, you’ll face a decadent brunch offering an array of choices paired with a European Brunch basket of pastry. Yeah. Bread & Chocolate. Not for the vulnerable.

The scarfing of all things delicious happens in two ways: the front of the store allows guests to choose straight from a buffet case loaded with pastry, while the back is a fairly fancy sit-down with a menu and wait staff. Kids are welcomed. Eat your apple first.
