read and Chocolate, the yen and yang of Washington bakery, can you smell it? It’s fresh and melts and makes people smile throughout metro Washington.

Our bakers rarely share our industry secrets, but visit our Web site each week for a new bread and chocolate secret recipe. François, world renown for the scents from his kitchen, will lead you step by step through a pie or cake, croissant or roll, Danish or chocolate morsel. But on those mornings when you cannot bake your own and someone asks you about your day, just say two words, “Bread and Chocolate.”
