Pastry items are remarkable and plentiful. The fruit tarts are epic; we always buy one for friends. Service is great. Lovely place to drop in for lunch and pickup treats to take home. read more

I am new to the area, just moved, and we tried out this small but cute place for breakfast. We got a Ham and Cheese and a Spinach croissant from here, and they absolutely smacked! The Croissants were buttered perefectly and were not overly sweet, best weve tried around! We will definitely be coming back here and making it part of our weekly breakfast lineup! The man behind the counter was the sweetest and super polite! read more

I have always put this place at 5 stars! The breads, desserts and cakes are top notch! Sandwiches aer excellent as well.

Every time I'm in Concord I have to stop in and get some Bread and Chocolate. Only place I've seen this. Been shopping from the same owner for 30 years. Worth the stop. Trust me read more

Excellent chocolate cake with plenty of ganache for a special family celebration . Of course , you must try the bread and chocolate signature pasty . Very good ! read more

This place is simply amazing! Definitely unassuming exterior conceals the sheer quality of the baked goods produced here. We call ahead after opening to ensure we can get our treasured raspberry croissants and chocolate/raspberry cakes from our 2 hour round trip! Definitely worth it. Be aware they're open a very limited time and often have few baked good remaining toward the end of the day. read more

Small spot, welcoming environment with a very friendly owner. The decor/layout felt like I was in someone's home. Tried a ham and cheese croissant, bread and chocolate pastry, and an apple tart. The croissant was a little doughy, the pastry was ok, and the tart was a disappointment. Unfortunately, I didn't try any of the good looking loaves of bread. I hope to try some bread soon and will update my review but, for now, despite really wanting to like this place, I have to say I was disappointed. read more

Never again I ordered a cake a week and a half ago. I called today to verify the order for an event that was 3 days away and was blown away. The gentleman on the phone at first told me he couldn't do the order as I didn't give him enough time. I told him I had talked to him the week before and then I heard him going through some papers and he said "Oh yes, I found it. I can't do it this week. What was your plan B?" I said I didn't have a plan B because he had agreed to do it. Unbelievable!! I called three other bakeries in the area and they were booked out and 1-2 weeks as it is wedding season. I finally placed the order with Fredericks. I used to go to Bread and Chocolate. In fact they did my wedding cake, but after this fiasco I will never go there again. read more

If you want a croissant that is better than Paris go to bread & chocolate! As I sit in Paris I know this is true!

Very nice pastry shop if you are craving eclairs this is the place where I had the best eclair ever....

This was delicious!!! I got a slice of the chocolate poppyseed (I think?) bread at a friends house and then tried the regular chocolate bread (pictured)....I am now addicted and they are my new favorite dessert! I will have to find my way to this place again even if I have to drive a little ways from Massachusetts, it was that good read more

I love this place. I was given a birthday cake from here six years ago and it was the best one I have ever had. I ended up getting a job a couple of blocks away from there and oh boy....I went to this place often. So glad I am now 45 minutes away because my wallet just couldn't take it anymore. All of the cakes are amazing but my favorites are the Tiramisu and the Chocolate cake with white chocolate mousse. Don't forget the eclairs that are to die for either! I hate tried pretty much everything they sell and I have yet to have a bad experience! read more

I've visited three times in the past 6 months for cakes (same day pick up) for office parties. Today I stopped in for a cake for my husband's birthday. The owner helped me, and he usually does. A man of few words, but pleasant enough. His pastries and cakes are simply divine. Reminds me of old world pastry shops in Belgium or France. Always executed perfectly. Dense yet somehow lightweight, moist cakes- perfect crumb. Fluffy and smooth with melt in your mouth mousse interiors. Silky and tasty frostings. The prices are great. And I love that they keep things simple inside. The goods speak for themselves. read more

Bread and Chocolate - Fantastically moist, luscious "tuxedo" cake with milk chocolate and white mousse inside. - Bakeries Near Me - Concord, New Hampshire

Was excited to visit this establishment after reading about it on Yelp. I was not disappointed- not even remotely; literally couldn't find a shred of anything to complain about. The pastries I tried (the eclairs!!) were superb, to put it INDESCRIBABLY mildly. The prices are completely reasonable. The owner was gruff, but with a heart of sumptuous custard. I can't wait to go back earlier and try more croissants and God-willing a Danish or 8! read more

i stopped in to get a delicious treat several weeks ago; their 6-grain bread. It almost changed my life! Because of the bad weather, stopped in again today and got the Potato Bread. I wasn't paying attention until I got home and took it out of the paper bag. Burnt. I had to take a super sharp bread knife to all of the outside edges which were like cardboard to find something edible inside as bread. Very disappointed. Sorry! It was oatmeal bread. Still had to take a hacksaw to the crust. read more

Slowest service ever!!!!! I've been 2nd in line for 15 minutes. The one girl working the shop has been on the phone taking an order the whole time. I gave up after the phone rang again 20 minutes into our wait and she took that instead of helping all the customers in the shop. They should probably learn to help a few customers actually in the shop trying to give them money instead of ignoring us repeatedly to take inquiries on the phone. I won't ever be back. read more

I purchased a cake for the holidays at the start of December for pickup right around Christmas time. Unfortunately, the baker got sick (what they told me on the message that was left) and they canceled all orders the Monday before the holiday (holiday was Saturday, but the pickup date was Thursday). By the time I could call them back after receiving the message (which was about 2:15 in the afternoon), they were closed until further notice. I left an upset message. Fast forward, in late February it occurred to me that I'd never heard back after the holidays (it was holiday time and by the time the New Year rolled around there was a lot going on with getting back to work after a break) and I checked to see if there was reimbursement for my cake and there was not. I called to ask for it and the man who talked to me was short with me, kept cutting me off, and told be I had to come in to get the reimbursement. I told him no, that's they took my money over the phone, they could return it the same way (I live about 1.5 hours from the place...not somewhere I can get to easily). I was also upset with how he was treating me so I told the man it was bad business to not reimburse people when you never provided a product. He twisted my words and said it was not bad business to get sick. I've never been treated so rudely. I understood that the baker was sick, but this company didn't return my call (and I did leave a voicemail with my number) nor did they automatically reimburse me for something they never provided upon reopening. And to top it off, the man was extremely rude when I was asking for a reimbursement. I cannot speak to the quality of the food (which is probably amazing), but the quality of customer service and general human politeness is terrible. read more

Can't get any better !! Everything are delicious, love this place. Always order their cakes for special occasions.

Ordered the flourless chocolate torte and a plate of whoopie pies. Both were exceptional in their own right. Decadent and delicious. And friendly service. Imagine that! read more

I love the chocolate croissant So Yummy!!! All the pastries and cakes and everything else all looks Amazing and tasty!! Cute little shop and nice people! read more

Authentic pastry, doesn't get any better. They work hard to deliver great items and a big selection. Try the bread and chocolate and the croissants. Love this place, stop in as often as I can. read more

I would not be allowed in the door if I went through Concord and did not stop at Bread and Chocolate for a fruit tart to bring home. Their sandwiches are amazing, and the almond pear tart devine. My family's favorite bakery. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I mean, who doesn't love a name like Bread & Chocolate? But, the croissant I got was dry -- just one step up from name-a-grocery-store. Nothing like Fiore's in Jamaica Plain, MA! They have spoiled me! I can't speak for the glory of their cakes, as I did not try them, but I did sample their cream cheese brownie which I got for my girlfriend, and we shared it. About it, she says, "I didn't think it was that flavorful. It was mediocre: it tasted homemade, but if it's not good homemade, then just being homemade isn't enough." They have many types of sandwiches, wrapped in white paper (I love that), such as ham & cheese, mozzarella, basil, & tomato, & turkey, and they're nicely-priced (between $5.50 and $6.50, or so). There's a nice a area to sit (un-airconditioned, which was fine for me), and quiet, which is good for studying. The service was fabulous (hence the 3 stars). The one female server was courteous, efficient, and friendly: really sweet. As I sat there with my okay coffee and not-so-good croissant, I noticed that no matter how long the line became, she was sweet as sugar. But, Bread & Chocolate - in terms of the bakery items -- just doesn't live up to its name! read more

I usually stop in here to get some sliced sourdough bread for lunch sandwiches. Great stuff at a good price. When I stopped in last week I also got a black forest pastry, wished I hadn't, now I am addicted. Very friendly, helpful staff. read more

Go here for either the specialty item "bread and chocolate" which is to die for-especially if warm. Try the sticky bun if you can handle the calories. All the cakes and torte's? are wonderful. You can impress anyone by bringing one of their desserts to a party. read more

Im always in search for a good bakery in this state. My mother-in-law took to lunch at Bread and Chocolate and I can honestly say, I have found a gem. My son got a ham and cheese sandwhich, MIL got the tuna and I got the fresh mozzarella and tomato with basil. All were served on Ciabatta bread. We all loved them - even though they were premade. We got a few desserts as well: a mini fruit tart, a mini Opera cake and a mini lemon cake. All were delish. Glad to see a bakery in NH doing the mini's, as Im used to the huge Italian ones in NY that have 3 glass cases full of them (Oh how I miss Ferrara's in Little Italy!) Next dinner party I throw, Im taking the trip to Concord to snatch up a box of mini's, for sure. Oh and they had a ton of different croissants with so many different fillings, I plan on trying a few of those as well! read more

What a humble little bakery. Perhaps Concord's best place to go for a treat. Don't let the outdated interior fool you. The tastes at this bakery are timeless. These are no grocery store cakes. These cake's flavors and decor are assembled with expertise and great skill. I've never had a more satisfying piece of cake. The flavors are not overrun with sugar. Each flavor within the cake is perfectly highlighted and balanced. The kind of cake you enjoy slowly with a nice cup of coffee. The other pastries are just as delicious. Even their breads and sandwiches are outstanding. Everything in the shop is reasonably priced and worth every penny. My new favorite place. read more

The sandwiches are amazing, the sticky buns are butterlicious, and the eclairs are creamy ecstasy! read more

Small place with a small but nice selection. Too expensive for day-to-day baked goods, but it used to be a terrific place for cakes and tarts for special occasions. I stopped shopping here when the unwelcoming religious propaganda went up in the windows. Heartbreaking that such a nice little place does not want the community's business. ***This review is based on firsthand, personal experience with this establishment*** read more

The first time I went there, about 10 years ago, I bought a piece of chocolate cake (to go). When I got home, I looked forward to having it with a cup of tea. I was very disappointed; it was so dry! I called Bread & Chocolate, and politely told them of my experience. It was met with silence. No apology, no explanation, no offer to come back for a credit. I never went back. read more

Worked here for about a week after graduating high school. The girl training me was the absolute sweetest. Unfortunately, I could not handle the owner. He was very disrespectful and short with me. Most unpleasant person I've ever met. There was a great lack of communication, and what exactly I would be doing there. In the back room, out of the customers view, there were countless bags of flour and other ingredients left completely open. There were ants visibly crawling around on the floor. When we "washed" the dishes, there was no soap provided. We simply scrubbed the equipment with a sponge. Please, for your own health, do NOT eat here. Everything may look delicious, but after seeing what it's really like, you couldn't pay me to eat here. So glad I quit when I did. Owner was an ***hole. Shocked it passed health inspection. read more
