When we got to the restaurant there was already a line out the door. And as we waited in the line it continued to grow around the block. This was a popular place.
Bread 41 offers fresh breads, many kinds of pastries both sweet and savory, plus an array of coffees. They had fresh croissants, homemade pop tarts, cinnamon buns, danishes, and something called a “craffin” which is a cross between a muffin and a croissant. Everyone seemed to be ordering these.
I ordered a Custardo. This reminded me of the pastel de nata’s that I enjoyed in Lisbon, Portugal. These were a little larger. The creamy custard was very sweet and went well with the latte that I ordered.
We also ordered a Pain Au Chocolat. This was a croissant with creamy chocolate in the middle. The croissant was simple but fresh and flaky. It paired well with a fresh cappuccino.
We did order a savory item, a sausage roll. The pastry was very crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, where it wrapped around the sausage. The flavor of the sausage was amazing. It was savory and juicy. Plus the size of the sausage was larger than your typical breakfast sausage.
Whether you eat there or get it to go the food was worth the wait. Make sure to check out Bread 41 located at 41 Pearse Street ( bread41.ie ).
Enjoy!
