YUM so good delicious perfection amazing love it need it nothing like it great price for an amazing flavor

I had the best ham and cheese croissant! Add to that, the husband specifically wanted to stop here for the caramel pecan roll. He had one about a year ago and can't stop taking about it. It did not disappoint. He says it's the best he's had since his grandmother passed. read more

Nice place to stop in and grab some coffee for me. Chai for my lady friend. And we split a salted caramel apple bar. Where's the pic you ask? We ate it too fast. Yup it's that good. read more

It's a good place to start your Sunday morning, they have good sandwiches and their pastries go well with their cold brew. It's the kind of place where you feel like you went brunching. read more

I like to go here, get a couple ham and cheese croissants in a few different bags. I play the 'morning fairy' and drop them off to friends and family. Everyone raves about them. Try the ham and cheese croissants, so yummy. This morning I got 9 :) read more

Great spot for a quick meal or pastry, we liked our chocolate croissants and we had an egg salad sandwich. Service was quick on a Saturday afternoon. It was a bit full and loud for seating so we sat in the common area of a few other businesses and it was comfortable and quieter. We look forward to trying more on the menu! read more

Stopped at Bread and Chocolate with my mom for some morning coffee. It's a bustling place on a weekday morning, but the service was fast and we didn't wait in line too long. The bakery case was full with a variety of beautiful pastries. We were delighted to see they had gluten free cherry almond scones in the bakery case. It's not very often you see homemade AND gluten free scones for sale! They were so delicious and fresh. My mom ordered an oat milk latte which she liked. I ordered a cold brew, but was pretty bummed out by the drink. It's definitely not cold brew. It was more like brewed coffee that was thrown over ice. So weak and not flavorful at all. Bread and Chocolate, I would recommend rechecking your cold brew recipe or labeling it on the menu as "iced coffee" so your customers aren't disappointed when they order it. read more

Great place to grab some cookies and a stellar Cafe Latte or White Chocolate Mocha! Lots of cute shops around and easy parking. read more

Bread and Chocolate - Cookies! Chocolate chip and Ginger today. And one creamy Latte - Bakeries Near Me - St. Paul, Minnesota

Good place to grab a hot drink and a pastry or sandwich. A bit easier to order and get in and out quickly than going to cafe latte to sit down. Which is also an awesome spot and owned by the same business I believe. They have sandwich ordering on the left side and coffee on the right. Their chocolate chip cookies are drool worthy. read more

My first time back here after two + years. I offered my croissants and the Swiss almond latte I remembered tasting so good. Not sure why but everything changes after the stupid Covid lockdown, down hill that is. I ordered my usual Swiss almond drink, Took a few sips and straight to the garbage can. I tasted like powder mix, couldn't taste any expresso. Very disappointing. read more

I'll be honest, I've only had their black coffee and sat beside their indoor fireplace on a couple cozy occasions. BUT I have taken many early morning hot yoga classes right upstairs at Corepower and I cannot tell you how torturous it is to smell the delicious freshly baked goods wafting into the room. I've seen the food coming out of the kitchen here and it looks amazing, I just have never been able to try any. There is ample seating inside, a parking lot in the back, great natural light being on a corner, and good fresh coffee to sip on. Plus that fireplace. No complaints here! read more

By far the best cookies and bars!! A little pricey but it's truly worth it!! Perfect all around!! Parking in back of entrance!! Alway clean!! And they also serve sandwiches and drinks ( coffee, teas and soda) !! A must go destination!! read more

Appreciate that they almost always have a gluten free item or two and they're always delicious. I threw caution to the wind yesterday and had a raspberry cream cheese croissant that was truly one of the best things I've ever eaten. The line moves fast. Only downside is the challenging parking. read more

We just happened across this place and went in for an afternoon treat. We had the chocolate croissant and a raspberry/cream cheese filled croissant. They were both amazing. Fresh and heavenly - highly recommend. We will be back before we leave town. read more

The staff are always wonderful. Why doesn't ownership allow for tipping on a card transaction? This is long overdue - not everyone carries cash. Starbucks on Grand is finally doing this. It's not fair to the employees if you don't. Are you listening ownership? I am not alone in this opinion. read more

Yummy treats abound! Coffee is okay and, although service can be slow because of lines, the people who work there are usually fairly attentive and quick. read more

I would happily return here. Went in to grab a quick breakfast. Got a potato, egg, and cheese panini, a Raspberry cream cheese croissant and a Swiss almond latte. All were really good. The latte always a hair sweet for my taste, but still fine. I saw some of the ham and cheese croissants come hot out of the oven and they looked delicious. I can't wait to return for more wonderful goodies! read more

Located on busy Grand avenue, they do have seating to dine in but also prepare some excellent boxed lunches. I had stopped here several times for a boxed lunch, they prepare sandwiches, chips and homemade desserts that will guarantee to fill you up. My preference is the egg salad sandwich, chips and a chocolate chip cookie. The egg salad is of the best I have had in terms of quality with no overpowering taste in either direction, just a great flavor of the combined, fresh ingredients. Even better, none of that unnecessary celery that many people like to add to their egg salad. They have a selection of chips and some of the best homemade chocolate chip on the avenue. The cookies are larger than I would expect. They obviously have many other items to choose from, including coffee and paninis. Cheers! read more

Whenever I am by Grand, I always stop here. Is has some street parking, but there is a parking ramp across the street by Pottery Barn. The baked goods here cannot be beat. The chocolate croissants are excellent! The cookies and brownies are also always very soft and sweet. Their espresso drinks are rich and flavorful. I always get the turtle mocha and it is amazing hot and iced. They have a wide beverage menu, so it is always fun to try something new. If you go on a weekend morning, it may be hard to find a place to sit, but the pastries and sweets taste just as good on the go! I like to stop in and get something to drink before I go shopping on Grand! The bakery is awesome and very reasonably priced. Come stop in and discover your new favorite drink or pastry. You will not regret it! read more

Bread and Chocolate - the inside of a restaurant - Bakeries Near Me - St. Paul, Minnesota

Okay, Bread and Chocolate has some pretty tasty pastries! This was my second time coming here on the weekend, so I was expecting there to be a line, but lo and behold, NO LINE! The cafe itself was pretty busy, but my friend and I were able to get our pastries and find a table with no problems. The first time I came here, I got a cinnamon roll, but this time I wanted to try something new. As I eyed the case to peruse my options, a few things caught my eye. When it comes to pastries anything strawberry, blueberry, raspberry- basically any BERRY will win my heart and stomach haha! I couldn't settle on just one, so I decided to get the raspberry croissant and blueberry scone. The scone was huge and beautifully drizzled with icing. The inside was- forgive me for using this word- *moist* and not too sweet. The raspberry croissant was like a danish and a croissant had a baby. It was a croissant filled with raspberry jam and cream cheese and OMG it was heaven! Heaven on a sugar high, to be exact. The croissant was light and buttery and the filling hit me as if sugar could slap you in the face! It was good, but honestly, I would have been happy with half the croissant. The whole thing was just way too much and too sweet, so I would recommend sharing this, or saving it for later. Luckily, I also ordered a latte that helped me wash the sweetness down a little easier. The atmosphere was bustling, as patrons were coming and going. It would be a nice spot to work, on weekdays, but its pretty busy on the weekends. read more

Vibes were horrendous today. Coffee was terrible. Ordered a mocha and there was no mocha or coffee, basically iced milk, but ice was melted and milk was bad. Customer service was off with more than one employee. Panini was mediocre. Save yourself time and money and probably go somewhere else read more

I've heard friends rave about Bread and Chocolate so I stopped by to grab a few treats on my way home from downtown St. Paul. Treats are yummy and service is alright. I grabbed a Magic Bar, a Snickerdoodle, and the Maple White Chocolate and all three were a hit with my friends and me! Also, the three were pretty inexpensive - no more than $7 for two super large cookies, and a loaded bar. Service was eh. I walked in and it was kind of unclear as to where I was supposed to order. I assumed there were two registers open as I saw two being used, but when I was up next in line, the worker at the register I was at turned her back and started working on something else. Maybe some signs would help? All in all, good experience with the treats! I'll be sure to come back to try sitting inside to see how the service might be different then. read more

Our first place to come post COVID shutdown. You can feel the lengths taken to keep you safe. Food is so good. We had the Florentine croissant and cream cheese croissant. Melt in your mouth with great flakiness. Took home even more. Glad they are here. read more

Got a chai latte and a chocolate chunk cookie, and WOW. The chai here is one of my favorites and the chocolate chunk cookie warmed up a little bit is amazing. The staff is all very nice and make coffee breaks from school so much better :) read more

Bread and Chocolate - Small Chai Latte and Chocolate Chunk cookie! - Bakeries Near Me - St. Paul, Minnesota

Nice selection of food and pastries. Also several fairly healthy food items and good coffee.

Always great pastries and coffees! Great to visit before visiting the many lovely antique.

I've been to B&c a million times but apparently have never reviewed it. Love this classic grand avenue gem. You can not go wrong with anything you choose on the menu, in my opinion. My favorite items are the ham and cheese croissant- thin flaky buttery warm melt in your mouth goodness made fresh every time. (All of the other treats are Devine too) my second all time fave is the paninis - you can stay on the straight and narrow And stick tO the Menu options or you can take my route and add the eXtra items while they create a perfectly crispy panini - I add the veggies and the spreads to mine and oh my gosh it's the best thing, with the dipping sauce that comes with it *mouth watering* If you have never been I it's almost always busy here and it's a great place to cozy up and enjoy your coffee, croissant and company. read more

Cookies are amazing! I ordered the M&M. It was buttery, soft, and perfectly sweet! The staff behind the counter was very friendly as well. Would recommend to anyone looking for awesome desserts in St. Paul! read more

Bread and Chocolate has some of the best pastries for their price! I love their chocolate croissants best. The coffee beverages served are tasty, but really nothing special. I really appreciate that the prices of the food and drink at Bread and Chocolate are affordable and reflective of what you're getting: you're not paying a ridiculous amount for coffee and pastries. The staff are always friendly, the cafe is bright and spacious, and I appreciate that it is never as busy as the neighboring Cafe Latte. A side note: the cafe is perfect for people watching/enjoying the views of Grand Ave! read more

Great cinnamon rolls. Also, very good chocolate croissant! But the almond croissant was kind of dry. I would def go back! read more

Nice spot to work or catch up with some friends! Owned by the same folks as Cafe Latte across the street, but has WiFi so you can set up with some coffee and snack. Croissants were good, and I had the grilled cheese with red pepper dip and side salad and it was very tasty! read more

We stopped for breakfast on our way to visit Macalester and enjoyed coffee and baked goods. The white chocolate and raspberry gluten free scone was delicious! (I'm not even gluten free!) read more

Neighborhood pastry and deli. The Carmel pecan rolls and ham & cheese croissants are to die for.

Bread & Chocolate is the most reliable bakery & cafe in town, I have never once had a bad baked good or a bad coffee, or gotten poor service. It's a St. Paul institution as far as I'm concerned. Highly, highly recommend the brownies, cinnamon rolls, and croissants. The brewed coffee is great but their espresso drinks are also wonderful- one of my favorite americanos in town! There is a ton of seating, which makes this an amazing spot to come with a friend to catch up, or to do some work. I've actually never had the sandwiches but for what it's worth, they look amazing. I have been coming to B&C for years and cannot recommend it highly enough. Good people & excellent products. read more

I had high expectations for this place as it's the baby Cafe Latte. I had the spinach and green onion croissant and it was not bad. I probably wouldn't get it again though. Really busy for a Sunday afternoon so that's a good sign. I might come back to try their other pastries and coffees. read more

Delicious food but not the place to set up and work or do anything on a computer. 1 outlet for like 30 tables. Bring a friend and chat, but don't expect to plug in. read more

Great experiences. Great ambiance. I like that during COVID-19, the shop has outlined one way movement through the store. Employees rigorously, but gently, remind customers to cover their noses, with masks. Employees always make sure you've been helped. Service is quick mid mornings and early afternoons. My personal favorite pastry is the apricot croissant. Always perfectly soft, flaky, and moist. No dry croissants here! There is also a salad and sandwich bar available. I have not tried what they have to offer. read more

Delicious coffee, pastries, and sandwiches here! It's a perfect spot to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee between shops along Grand Ave. I'm a big fan of the multiple flavors of Croissants offered here! read more

Wow. Again with being intimidated about shops being on this side of Grand and being pleasantly surprised. I got a small Sea Salt Caramel Cider for $2.65! That's cheaper than the Bou or the Buck! I overheard they make their own whipped cream in store, and I can tell that they care about what they make for their customers. It feels kitschy and cute, and I love the location. I'm won over. read more
