Bread Craft

Serving breakfast and brunch, this trendy bakery in the heart of downtown Roanoke has everything you would expect - lots of coffee, lots things labeled ‘milk’ because they are white fluids, and complex confectionaries that are oh so tasty. Everything was easy clean and fast. I do kind of wish they had a better selection of non-coffee beverages, but that’s just me.

Stopped here looking for coffee and found amazing cookies, pecan rolls and bread. Friendly staff and a great place to sit and relax if you like a slow morning start. The menu items sounded really good also.

The biscotti. Back in the day I remember trying a few times (at other bakeries and little cafes) biscotti and had decided the biscotti just wasn't my cup of tea. Too hard and tasteless (yes, even after dunking it in coffee or tea). And then, I tried it here at Breadcraft and realized I had been deceived. I finally tasted what a true biscotti should taste like. Molto magnifico! And here's the kicker, I don't come here for the biscotti. I get my baguettes, sliced campagna and other yum-yums as my primary source of decadence. Only suggestion for the master of the house is to bring back the ability to place orders same day (or at least, not 3 days in advance).

Wow! This is the best French toast I’ve had in years, thick, fluffy, eggy, crispy at the edges…just delicious. The coffee was great too, best cup I’ve had in Virginia. There’s also an “Art-o-Mat” vending machine, a great vibe, good music, comfy seating, and the restrooms are spacious and clean. If I’m in Roanoke again I’m definitely coming back.

This is my favorite pastries place I love all of them, my favorite pastry Kouign amann
