Only tried the desserts. Plan to come back for the amazing menu of food. I had the chocolate mousse so delicate, smooth, and perfect. Also an assortment of macaroons just the right crisp outer shell, soft inside and delicious filling. read more

European cuisine, flavors and textures of BVB compliments the Galena area style. Our party of 20 was treated like family. Our wait staff knew our names and attended to details that made our delicious dinner party even more enjoyable. Thank you Eric, Laura and Pinky! The Salmon Quinoa is my favorite so far paired with their French Chardonnay followed by the special of the day- pistachio cheesecake. Thank you Monique and Eric Bonnetain, We'll be back! read more

Food- 5 stars! Service- 4.5 stars! Seating- ZERO Chairs are uncomfortable. Tables are so close together that another table has to stand up and move in order for the waiter to bring food. Such bad design taking down such good food! We had a pastry and coffee, tacos, and pork bun. The pork bun was non-traditional enough as to not be a pork bun, but is was so tasty! The tacos were delicious. Easily the best tacos in the historic downtown. I would try anything here. The food is incredible. But good luck getting a table. read more

This place looked cute and the food looked decent, however the prices for a small town in the Midwest were INSANE. I ordered a medium almond milk latte with 2 shots of espresso and the price rivaled NYC and surpassed London! If the taste was even close to either city's coffee quality I wouldn't be writing this review, however since the flavor of the coffee was so weak and worthy of the trash can, I had to make my experience known. It's infuriating I felt compelled to keep drinking because I paid $7 for one of the worst coffees I've ever tasted. read more

Great service, setting, and food. I enjoyed my time in the bright open space while reading and taking in a charcuterie board and wine. The seating area was a bit crowded with tables/chairs but not a problem. read more

we walked into Bread And Vine bakery on thinking it was a different establishment. BIG MISTAKE! the prices were astronomical but felt like we should try it since we are here. NOTHING SPECIAL $8.50 snd $6.50 for a couple typical bakery items. save your money for a better value elsewhere. read more

Lots to choose from in this very busy spot. Great food and service from the people that work here

3 day trip in Galena and we visited Bread & Vine all three days! Everything we ate was delicious. The French Hotdog was recommended to us by an owner from one of the local shops; I never would've ordered it if it wasn't recommended and OMG it is delicious - more than enough to share! Also not pictured, we had the breakfast omelette croissant and macaroons that were also very good. The staff is very friendly. Will definitely come back here next time I visit Galena. read more

Holy crap, great place. Veggie sandwich, smoked salmon, macaroons, and best apple turnover I've ever had. Pink panther cocktail. Great service. Highly recommend. read more

Macarons are delicious! A little pricey but worth it. We always stop here and pick some up when in Galena.

You want something amazing!? This is the place to go. Tempting to just only eat here when in town!!! The pastries are made daily - beautiful and delicious! The small plates are really the bomb!! There were three of us so we tried 3 different things (3 of each thing was the perfect setup). ... wow- the tacos were the best! Chicken with mango salsa. Flavor-spice-citrus- perfect balance of amazing. The bao- lovely porkbelly with slaw on a soft bao bun - who can pass that up?! And the mini burger hit the spot- perfectly cooked with onions and bakery bun. Yum!!!! Don't pass this one by! Get in there! read more

I spotted some beautiful desserts in the window and decided to go inside with a few friends. We were warmly greeted by Pinky, who invited us to have a seat. I was mostly thinking about grabbing a quick dessert...I didn't realize they had a food menu and full bar. The menu was limited, but had great options. We opted for 2 lbs of mussels and some sliders. Simply amazing! We rounded out our experience with a pistachio cheesecake and a lemon meringue tart. That cheesecake, with it's too-good-to-be-true dreamy texture and soft, yet distinct pistachio flavor, was too good to share with others. I picked up some macarons to go. If you're in Galena and looking for a real gem, look no further than Bread & Vine! read more

Bad customer service. We came on a busy day and the employees were not prepared for the volume. Not professional

Three stars for those behind the counter and quality of the food. Taking away 1-2 stars for the complete cluster---k at the front end of the place. You open the door and you have a table of people right there. Who thought that placement through? You also have people right by the door when they are paying. Another chaotic moment of opening the door into a crowd of people. Solution: move the register to the middle to help space out your crowd. I could see people consistently annoyed with your setup. Flow all wrong here and it's a shame. read more

We sopped by to take out. We ordered Parma mozzarella sandwich $13.50, Chocolate flourless cake $6.50, Lobster bisque soup $8.50. We thought the food was amazing. I would like to go back and try different pastries. Food: Awesome Service: Good Price: High Ambience: Good read more

Absolutely amazing! Best breakfast food I've ever had, anywhere! A cool little venue as well! Definitely would recommend to anyone!

Amazing food, pastries and service! Very friendly and welcoming place. The Cesar salad had a perfect Cesar taste, the lettuce was fresh, chicken was delicious and the fries had a perfect crisp. It was just good fries. We also had the plain croissant and again the most perfect croissant. Crispy outside and soft inside. Would definitely be back! read more

What a delightful find!! This bakery/bar/lunch spot does not disappoint. I especially recommend the traditional French flatbread with carmalized onions, bacon, and balsamic vinegar. So yummy! The cases of food reminded me of being in Paris. This is a must stop in Galena. read more

Awesome Food!!! Friendly Service!!! Great choices for simple sandwiches or even a pizza. Dessers to die for.

First trip to Galena. Wandered through a few stores on Main Street, worked up an appetite and popped into Bread & Vine right before the lunch rush. Shared the charcuterie board and the goat cheese & pear salad. Plenty of food for the two of us. Nice variety on the meat board and a nicely constructed salad with just the right amount of dressing (I hate drenched salads!). We're not big sweets eaters, so we didn't sample any of the macarons or pastries, but lots of folks seemed to be enjoying them! read more

If i could give this place more stars, i would. If you are in the Galena area, you must come here. The food is phenomenal. Service, phenomenal. They hand make their pastries every morning so everything is fresh. I will be thinking about this meal every day until I come back to Galena. read more

Absolutely nothing but good things to say about this place. My husband and I went here 4 times within 2 days while visiting Galena! The cutest place for a morning cup of joe, with the most gorgeous and delicious pastries. That also turns up at night with great espresso martinis and music. The focaccia on the veggie sandwich is to DIE for. Love the story of the husband & wife owners behind this establishment. I will say it can get crowded as they are a small place that many enjoy. read more

Did not Disappoint!! Went back 3 times in one day!! Lol ...Had the croissant with strawberry and blueberry with cream cheese. Also almond paste croissant. Taste is heavenly!!! Also offer charcuterie and wine on top of breakfast sandwich and coffee!! I will drive the distance to partake again soon!!! The only thing I wish my cappuccino was less foamy and more coffee. I realize there is a lot of foam in cappuccinos. Just a bit too much for my liking. Was still awesome with the oat milk. So DELICIOUS!!!! read more

Second trip to Galena this year and both times we stopped at Bread and Vine for breakfast, it does not disappoint! Wonder savory quiche, good coffee and delicious croissants! read more

Good food and good quality but felt it was a little too pricey for what you get. Still one of the best options for food and dessert in Galena though read more

I came 4 or 5 times during my stay ... ha! It's that good. The attention to detail and the quality that Eric, the owner, puts into it is inspiring! First, let's start with the staff, kind, attentive AND conscientious. You can walk up and order or you can sit down and be treated. Over several trips we enjoyed charcuterie, the cheese board, chicken ceasar salad, crispy pork belly tacos, smoked salmon and cream cheese with sliced hard boiled egg on a croissant, and my favorite.....cold watermelon salad with honey, mint, and goat cheese!!!!! To die for! Give this place a try....its not just delicious pastries.....the food, the drink AND the service .... perfection. read more

A bite to satisfy any palette. Adult beverages were delicious. Loved the variety on a not overwhelming menu. Ended the visit with a bag full of pastries. read more

My husband and I just randomly stopped in here because we were walking by. We instantly saw that they had sandwiches just like how they had in Paris. They also had amazing looking desserts. Even though we already had lunch, my husband got a sandwich and I ordered 2 croissants to go. Ever since I had gone to Paris and eaten their croissants, I had been ruined and haven't found anything like it since until today. OMG - the croissant is divine. It was so delicious I probably could eat a dozen in one sitting. I'm kicking myself for only buying 2 If I am ever back in galena, I will be back here for sure read more

Fantastic spot in Galena. The macaron photo dipped in chocolate sauce was what brought me there - turns out they don't actually sell that (odd to put it in the photos) so the staff did it for me as a surprise when I was bummed to find out they didn't actually serve it. It was mind blowing- their chocolate sauce and the macaron. Everything we had was fantastic. Super great place for lunch read more

Loved the layout of this place and the options for food and dessert! My drink was amazing and I enjoyed the cheese board- just didn't have a ton of variety of flavors. My aunt got the strawberry cheesecake and said it tasted like it had been sitting in the case a while. But my server was awesome and I'm excited to try more of their food in the future! read more

Stopped by for lunch on the 4th of July with family. Had a large group and were quickly accommodated by our awesome server, Locke (sp?). Absolutely fantastic service and food, this place is a gem. Can't say enough good things about the service, he was just incredibly nice, made us feel welcome and was on top of everything throughout the meal. Food was spectacular as were the drinks, recommend this place to anyone in Galena! Thanks for the wonderful lunch! read more

Strong beginning for this new spot in Galena. Everything from small plates to pastries to espresso to wine, spirits and desserts were delicious and beautifully presented, and the outdoor seating on a perfect spring evening made us feel like we were dining at a small bistro in Provence. Looking forward to trying many more offerings, best wishes! So glad you are here! read more

3 stars because food was delicious, service not so great. When you first walk in, it looks like a typical sandwich counter. Everything looked delicious. I ordered a veggie sandwich and it was right up there with a sandwich shop I visited in Florence Italy. Flavor and bread very authentic! They also had yummy pastries that we ordered for later. My raspberry tart was so good! Service- we orders at the counter. Not knowing they also offered full service dining, we opted for take out containers. So technically "to go" customers. Sandwiches are good sized so just in case we couldn't finish and wanted to take back to the hotel. There was an empty table so we sat down to eat our sandwiches. We were approached by a waiter who hastily explains "you sit down, a waiter takes your order! You already ordered and if you are going to sit a server needs to take your order." He was very snippy and rude. My friend was a little taken aback at the way we were approached. So I explained very firmly that we were not aware they offered full service dining. His response "fine!" And he hastily walked away. Like I said, at first sight it looks like a deli, sandwich counter. We were still paying customers so I don't see why we were approached in such a hostile way. The place is small so the whole instance was a little embarrassing, as many customers watched the encounter. Passed with flying colors with the food. Failed with customer service. read more

We just had one of the best quality lunches here. Fresh, quality and delicious. Above the typical tourist trap world and at a league of European levels. The vegetarian focaccia was divine. It was packed, raining and yet we didn't mind. A+ read more
