Wed Oct 29 22:21:07 -0700 2008 4137817 72002 chowsearch 2 4137933 ^^Really? What do you mean? Wed Oct 29 23:29:42 -0700 2008 4137887 139101 beauxgoris 1 4138126 I'm not that surprised. Worst....service...ever!! I've worked nearby for 4+ years and use to eat there with co-workers quite often. I stopped about 3 years in because the service was just horrible. The sandwiches and soups were good, as are the pastries. But nothing could make up for their lackluster service. Any clue if anything else is going to go in that space? It's a great location!

I hope that the next restaurant there is deserving of it.

That's incredible, but I guess no matter how simple, someone can screw it up. I used to like to go to the Bread and Chocolate in the Skyline Center before it went away when the shopping mall was made over into a Target, but I never got anything but a pastry. No hassles then, but it's been at least 15 years. I wasn't aware that there was another location on Capitol Hill, but I wouldn't have gone that far for a B&C fix anyway.

By saving a couple dollars per hour not hiring engaged, nice people, and offering them hope for advancement, they lost the whole business. Bad management, good food, good location--just like Murky. Metro stop, Eastern Market, upscale neighbors who want places like it that aren't Tune Inn--they blew it. Thu Oct 30 15:21:56 -0700 2008 4139194 72002 chowsearch 4 4140393 There is a Bread and Chocolate at 23rd and M. They also had pretty bad service, the last time I went. In my case, the person who took my order acted as if she didn't know what I was talking about when I ordered a cafe breve (which is on their menu).

Sometimes you have to translate for these foreigners. <g> Fri Oct 31 13:38:45 -0700 2008 4140393 10624 MikeR 1 4141542 I've lived a couple of blocks away since 1990. I think I last ate there in 1991. Hope the location gets something good. Fri Oct 31 14:44:15 -0700 2008 4137817 17813 Bill on Capitol Hill 2 4646940 Haven't been up to the Hill in while. What did this become?
