Bread and Chocolate Bakery

Bread and Chocolate BostonI love chocolate, so it wasn’t surprising that I would love this place. What is surprising is that I’ve found myself returning long after I’d written this review. This place is now on my regular list, and Eunice and her husband (the owners) are embarrassingly aware of my chocolate addiction.

Bread and Chocolate is the perfect little neighborhood bakery. It is filled with adorable European style treats like mini mousses and little opera cakes as well as tasty American-style cupcakes. As the name suggests, most of the baked goods are chocolate-based, making even the smallest treat a true indulgence. Even the hot chocolate is decadent!

In addition to the sweet treats, they serve sophisticated little sandwiches (I recommend the curried chicken on ciabatta) making it a perfect place to grab a bite with a friend.

I took one of their signature cakes, the Chocolate Raspberry Torte, to a dinner party and it was a resounding success, managing to be both satisfying and light enough that most guests took second helpings. In fact, I’ve decided that this will be “my” signature hostess gift from now on. Let other guests bear wine, I will bring cake!
