If our tough winter brings out the wolf in you,
perhaps the place to satisfy your snarling appetite is Bread & Chocolate Bakery/Café in Hamden.
Place an order with owner Alejandra Quintero
or her lovely daughter Tiani,
then take it to go or enjoy it immediately in the spacious café area.
Order from the regular menu,
or even consider some scones.
Get coffee
or a cold drink
with perhaps a loaf of bread to go.
What did our hungry wolf pack order? We enjoyed huge bowls of black bean with chicken soup
and a vegetarian chick pea soup,
which came with slices of bakery bread.
Sandwiches came with petite bags of Cape Cod potato chips,
and we ordered three of them, including a chicken club,
a turkey panini
and a tuna melt panini.
We finished with wonderful pastries, including an almond croissant,
a sticky bun
and a perfect apple Danish splashed with pastry cream.
Bread & Chocolate supplies breads and pastries throughout the Greater New Haven area, but we’re fortunate to live only a mile from this welcoming bakery/café.
