We stopped by this place on our way out of town after visiting Harper’s Ferry National Park. It is super cute with friendly staff. If I wasn’t a gluten free person I would have bought ALL their bread, it looked delicious! What we did buy was a selection of their local gourmet groceries! I can’t wait to try my honey sweetened chocolate bar! We also bought some peanut butter and jam and iced tea. Definitely worth a stop if you visit the Harper’s Ferry area.

Friendly staff, many many selections to choose from! I personally had the pepperoni roll, cinnamon roll, biscuits and the ramps with cheddar sourdough. IT WAS ALL AMAZING. We tore into almost all of it immediately. I will deff be back, hopefully with a cart to carry everything out next time 😂🫶 the vibes were good here

We really enjoyed our visits, so much so we took ‘Jeffrey‘ home with us :) He’s now a regular part of our family weekends delivering sour delights ;) Thank you for the delicious bread, outstanding service and the kindness to spread sourdough baking.

This is the cutest place! There is a good amount of parking in the back and along the street. I got two sourdough loaves and a cinnamon roll and they were all delicious and freshly made. There are plenty of other offerings like baguettes, other breads, butters, jams, and hot coffee.

Great local bakery. Went in a few days before St. Patrick's and they were fully dressed and decorated to have some fun. Prices were reasonable, decent selection and great looking/tasting items. Will absolutely be back.

First off, the bread was amazing. We tried the sourdough country loaf and the focaccia—both were excellent. We also sampled the sourdough cookie and the strawberry lemonade loaf, and they were so good. There's no indoor seating, but there are a few spots to sit outside. I took one star off for the cold brew—it’s a go-to for us at every coffee shop, and unfortunately, this one was weak, watered down, and lacked flavor. That said, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food overall was fantastic. Definitely worth a stop!

Recently visited this gem. We bought a sourdough loaf of bread, olive rosemary loaf and pepperoni sourdough. We also got a chocolate dipped macaroon. We've had a chance to try each and they were all delicious and beautiful!! Look like they were straight off of Pinterest. Will definitely return and do recommend!!

This bakery is a must when visiting Harper’s Ferry. The pepperoni rolls are truly amazing. Fresh sourdough is excellent too. We went yesterday with a large group and the staff took care of us like family.

A very popular bakery locally. The bakery also has a variety of espresso and coffee drinks. The shop is small but cozy. It has some cute decorations around the shop. The pastries are bread are more European style. Price of the pastries were reasonable. Will visit again for sure. It gets a 4.6 out of 5.

Love this little bakery. We came twice for breakfast and I tried the pepperoni roll and the potato samosa roll. Both are made inside a pretzel roll and are delicious. I probably liked the pepperoni roll better, but they were both good. Hubby got a cinnamon roll both times and he loved it. We also picked up a lavender shortbread cookie and a sourdough loaf to take home. We absolutely loved the lady working at the counter. I didn't catch her name but she was quirky and so friendly. Love love love her. It's a cute little bakery and a pick-up place. No tables to eat at inside, but they do have a parking lot, so that's nice. They also have coffee and some syrups and whole milk or oat milk to add to your drink. Will definitely be back if we're in the area again.

I am in shock! This is one my favorite bakeries in the world. I am from New York and went to school in France. I also love Korean bakeries. I like to think I know a good bakery when I find one. I did not expect to find one so good in this little town. I stopped in for breakfast. I had a potato Samosa roll that was out of this world. I also bought three cookies that were three of the best cookies I've ever eaten. I went back later before leaving and spent 100 bucks on stuff to bring home. One of my favorite was the pickle rye bread. I already told everybody we have to go back to Harper's ferry specifically for this bakery.

Was so excited to give this shop a visit! I couldn't resist buying a beautiful bouquet of flowers, they are stunning! The staff was very friendly. The shop had so many options of breads,baked goods, and spreads! Cannot wait to try my sourdough bread! Don't forget to visit this shop when in Harpers Ferry!

Amazing fresh breads and cookies. Absolutely delicious....you can taste the love in every bite. Outstanding service everytime we have stopped in. Sourdough, foccacia, ortiz, pepperoni rolls, samoda, macaroons, chocolate chip cookies and roman pizza on Sundays. Everything is perfect!

How have I never tried Bolivar Bread Bakery before?! The moment you walk in you can smell the bread baking! The staff is so nice, and they do have street parking out front (which is def a plus in Harper's Ferry)! The coconut macaroon was huge and delicious! Not overly sweet, the perfect amount of chocolate, and paired perfectly with the coffee! It was also toddler approved by my son haha. They are participating in Frostyfest this weekend (they didn't have the hot chocolate today but will tomorrow), so I may have to go back to try the malted hot chocolate with a cookie straw!

In traveling about, I always try to find a local bakery. When seeing Harpers Ferry, if you miss the turn for the NHP parking lot and take the next right-hand turn on Union Street, you will directly come across Bolivar Bread Bakery. Check its opening hours and go! We bought the cinnamon raisin sourdough and the "everything bagel" sourdough. (Note if you get it sliced, you can start sampling once you get into the car/on a bike!) It's small shop with limited outdoor seating but there are steps you could sit on outside. A really great place to go.

Great bread and baked goods. Arrived at 8:00 sharp for some amazing hot sourdough bread. It was hard on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. I got a crumb cake sort of thing and it was awesome. 100% recommend this place.

Everything is so good!! Sadly only have it when we're passing through but the loaves here are perfection.

We went in for some bread and coffee and found some other treasures too. We really enjoyed the seedy multigrain sourdough and the cherry coffee cake. They sell beautiful, delicious farm fresh eggs! I wanted to buy more the next day but they are unfortunately closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

I was excited to check out Bolivar Bread Bakery, as this woman-owned, small-batch, artisan bakery offers fresh-baked bread and pastries daily. We stopped by in the early morning, and we ordered: +Maple Butter Biscuits - buttermilk biscuits that are brushed with maple syrup, butter, and sea salt +a Seasonal Scone - when we went, it was a Cheddar Scallion Everything Scone +a Pretzel Samosa - pretzel dough stuffed with curried potatoes, onions, cilantro, and peas; loved the pretzel dough itself, but was not a fan of the filling and the flavors Staff was friendly, and there was a line already, early in the morning - items do get sold out quickly, so it's best to get there in the A.M.! I'd love to pick up some loaves the next time. There's a small lot behind the building for parking. +daily baked breads and pastries +small lot behind building for parking

The food here is INCREDIBLE!! You must try the pretzel pepperoni roll.. it's an 11/10. Their brown butter chocolate chip cookies are unbelievable! Everyone who works here is so nice and attentive! They're very helpful if you're not really sure what you want! There's no seating inside but there are a few tables outside which is really nice! It's a shaded area so you never really have to worry about the sun melting your cookie haha!

This place is a must stop if you're in the area. It's located right outside of the main center of town. My boyfriend and I stopped in on a Saturday morning and grabbed a pepperoni pretzel roll and a sourdough chocolate chip cookie. I was looking online and it looked like those were the best two choices try out. I'm happy I did. They were both delicious. The pepperoni pretzel roll was a hefty little bread, stuffed with meat and cheese. It was delicious, the pretzel itself super fresh, and the taste of a spot on. I don't think I had actually ever heard of a sourdough chocolate chip cookie before coming into the bakery, but that was delicious as well. It was super chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. It just had a very slight hint of the sourdough and all the flavors went well together. If I was staying longer in the area I would've definitely try it out some of her breads. They looked fantastic. This is definitely a small shop mostly grab and go. They do have two small tables outside, which is where my boyfriend and I sat to enjoy her treats before walking down to the downtown part of the area. Highly recommend them!

This place is MAGIC! I love bakeries and typically visit at least one anytime I'm visiting a place. The bread was amazing, coconut macaroon was the best thing I've ever eaten, scone was perfect (and scones are hard to get right) and coffee fresh and delicious. I wish we had brought some home! Also, everyone who worked there was lovely and patient, the ambience is great and so cute. Side note: there is no seating inside, so it's outside or to go

We were visiting harpers ferry for the weekend and our accommodations were dangerously close to bolivar bakery. We ended up stopping by basically every day and sampled a variety of options all of which impressed us. The shop itself is small with only two outdoor tables for seating but some people also sat and ate on the stairs outside. They sold a few local products in addition to their bakery items and I enjoyed getting to see the bakers working behind the counter. Everyone who served us was extraordinarily polite and friendly including providing a bigger cup with ice to turn my hot tea I to iced tea for the 90 degree weather. We tried the cinnamon roll, maple butter biscuits, brown butter chocolate chip cookie and everything bagel sourdough and liked everything although we wished the biscuits were a little more maple flavored. I particularly liked the cookie and the sourdough and if I am ever back in the area I will certainly be back!

I haven't tasted bread like this in a long time! I bought the olive and rosemary sourdough loaf, and I wish that I lived next-door. This bread is so good, I also bought the lavender shortbread cookies, and am savoring every last bite. Not to mention the staff is extremely friendly and kind. I will absolutely be back, I may make the trip out from Northern Virginia, just for the bakery alone.

A great stop if you're looking for things to do around the Harper's Ferry area. It's only a twenty-ish minute walk from the main section of town, and I found it to be very walkable. The loaf of bread I got was appropriately Halloween-themed, shaped in the form of a very friendly ghost. The outside was crisp while the inside was cheesy and soft. I also love that they sell some local artwork and other goods in the store. I got a lovely sticker that I have on my laptop; it was reasonably priced, locally designed, and beautiful!

Their bread is amazing. Parking can be annoying on the weekend, but that's okay. It is a small space so it can get crowded fast.

Harpers Ferry hasn't had something like this until relatively recently, but this local bakery seems a winner. A small store, but one which offered mouthwatering variety. I got a pretzel samosa roll for the road, which was an unusual creation, but every bit as salty and savory as it sounds. I can't quite remember what the sourdough I ordered was, but it has some seeds in it and it is delicious. There were some nice beverages and local items on sale as well, but the taste of fresh-baked bread is the perfect conclusion to a day of hiking on nearby slopes.

I learned about this bakery on the WETA/PBS show "Get Out of Town." Intrigued, I visited and loved my experience. You are immediately embraced by freshly baked bread's delicious, yeasty smell when you walk into the shop. Your eyes will dance as they peruse the items available for purchase. The bakery offers a good selection of bread, biscuits, cookies, sweet breads and pastries. Each time I visit, it takes a while for me to decide what to purchase, but I'm always satisfied with my selections. The staff is super friendly and helpful and always have a smile on their faces. If you are in the Harper's Ferry/Bolivar area, stop at Bolivar Bread Bakery! You'll be so glad that you did!

If this bakery doesn't end up on the food network I will be absolutely shocked and disappointed. I've been to over 40 states (traveled from WA State); and have stopped at hundreds of amazing bakeries--but this ladies and gentlemen, IS. THE. BEST! I got the GF Amaretti cookie and OH MY GOSH...absolutely died and went to heaven!!!! I literally stopped in my tracks while eating there and ended up buying FOUR MORE (and yes I did eat the second cookie once I got home). Y'all, the cookie was RIDICULOUS!!!! I have never in my life tasted something so darn delicious. I ate it while sipping on my cold brew which was perfect with their caramel syrup and oat milk! Will, who I took a selfie with made the cookie as his senior project at culinary school. Will was fantastic, and deserves all the praise for his hard work. Everything else at the bakery looked absolutely mouth watering by the smell of it. I almost risked it all (I have celiac) to take a sample of the GLUTEN DELIGHTS but the cookie sufficed. This bakery is beyond cute, had other fantastic buys including veteran made jams and honey (which I also bought). I am around WV for the next couple months, and am already planning a trip back before driving back to the west coast. I CANNOT WAIT to be back and see if Will has more fun gluten free creations! UPDATE: I gave my last two cookies away to my buddies and they also agree the cookie was a slice of heaven. Will, I will be back the first week of December, and am already counting down the days until I get some more coffee and cookies to make my heart happy again!

Everything was perfection. I am sad we live so far away or we'd be here weekly . The bread was amazing. The chocolate chip cookie was good but the real must have was the pretzel pepperoni roll.

Stopped here at a friend's recommendation, after strolling around Harper's Ferry. Super nice folks, and excellent coffee. I had a pepperoni roll and my sis had a scone - both were delicious! I only wish I lived closer and could sample more of their wonderful looking baked goods! Just be aware that parking is very limited -

Their bread is from out of this world!! So fresh, chewy, and flavorful. We drive an hour from Maryland for their bread. Everything they sell is good, from their bacon focaccia to their baguette and sourdough! Amazing staff too. They don't use preservatives, so we freeze half immediately when we get home. Highly recommend!

Excellent sourdough bread. The brown butter cookies were very tasty. They have a variety of items so we will have to go back and sample some more treats.

My favorites so far are the baguettes, amaretti cookie and the Amish butter and top it all off with the most kind staff. Can't wait to go back and try more things :) The sitting on the steps while enjoying our coffee and bread was an authentic touch for my family and I!

The best home-made baked goods in the area! Katie and her staff are top of the pops when it comes to delivering fresh baked sourdough and specialty breads, pastries, and other specialty sweets! A lovely little shop nestled in Bolivar/Harpers Ferry, WV - a must visit whenever you're in the neighborhood! You will not be disappointed!

This bakery caught my eye as we were driving into town and then a quick Yelp search sealed the deal that I had to stop. Very cute bakery that makes all pastries in house. I bought a coffee and West Virginia must - the pepperoni roll. The pepperoni roll was DELICIOUS, and there was no judgement that I ordered it at 9:20 a.m. Immediately made all others in the car who didn't want anything jealous and even though I shared, they still wished they went in. The front counter server was extremely nice and chatted with me about some cool things she recommends when I told her I was from out of town. Would love to go back.

This is our favorite bread store in the DMV (and yes, it is kind of out of the DMV). So many bakeries focus on cupcakes, but this store really focuses on breads. Sure, they have other great items, but the bread is the star of the show here. We make sure to stop by here on any road trip that goes anywhere near Harpers Ferry. The staff is always very nice and the prices are very reasonable.

This place is going to be the death of me, but what a way to go... A family owned bakery, that started at home during COVID, has grown into one of the highlights of Harpers Ferry/Jefferson County, WV! Katie and her crew are top notch! You will be blessed stopping by...sourdough, dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, baguettes, wheat bread, scones, granola...etc.

The dinner rolls were a very nice addition to my chicken salad luncheon! And those brownies! One brownie can be cut up into Nine little pieces. There's so rich- one brownie goes a long delicious way! I'm so glad this bakery is there. Let's support them folks so that they stay in business!

Fantastic bakery! If i lived in the area I would be here constantly. We were down for a day trip and got the pickle rye, some pretzel pepperoni rolls, and sourdough chocolate chip cookies. All were absolutely delicious. We made a a tuna salad, BLT with the pickle rye. So good!! I can't recommend this place enough.

Top notch freshly baked goodies, great service and warm ambiance. We went 2 days in a row and if we were staying longer, we would have gone there everyday. We had the pepperoni rolls, earl gray citrus cake, foccacia (oMG...SO GOOD!), cheddar scallion scones (we had it with fresh berries and it was amazing), maple butter biscuits, choco-cherry sourdough bread and dinner rolls. It's truly all so worth it and the prices are quite reasonable. Would def come back to try their other goodies next time we are in the area.

Everything here is delicious - the breads as well as the sweets. I appreciated them having a vegan sweets option, which seems to rotate. Having a whole parking lot in the back was fabulous.

Fantastic small bakery just outside Harpers Ferry. I'm a bread snob and bake lots of my own bread. The sourdough was outstanding, pretzel excellent, pretzel roll tasty and the staff were super friendly. Can't say enough about this bakery. Small parking lot in back, looks like they share it was a nearby church so Sunday AM might be tough.

Made a quick stop for coffee but ended up with coffee and some ginger folk cookies. The bakery is charming with parking available behind the building. Staff were super welcoming. Our treats were delicious and we'll definitely stop back next time we are in town.

I love boliver bread! My favorite little bakery in Harper's ferry. I love getting a cup of coffee with their house made syrups that are out for you to help yourself with and a cinnamon roll. I have to say they have THE BEST CINNAMON ROLLS I'VE EVER HAD. I love grabbing a couple wild and wonderful loafs and freezing them to have all week. Super kind workers and the owner is great! Well done bringing such greatness to town.

I love bread. Whenever I travel, I customarily visit bake shops when possible, so I've tasted my share of breads. That said, this is some of the best bread I've ever had. The pretzels were soft and perfectly chewy, the scone was flavorful and well baked and the savory filled pastries were spot on. And the sourdough loaf...oh wow. This place is a treasure - we visited three times during our 2 day visit. Highly recommended.

I stopped in this bread shop after reading reviews on yelp. I didn't realize they closed at four and literally walked in at about 359. They were warm and welcoming. Couldn't have better customer service. The owner I assume gifted myself not only beautiful French baguette but also a stuffed vegan pretzel. Amazing delicious beautiful creations.

Note there is parking in front of and behind the bakery! The Bakery is easy to find and everyone was welcoming. I heard about this gem Friday and drove 11 miles from Martinsburg for several yummy treats. Purchased 1 large soft pretzel,(Sat. baked), 1/2 dozen soft dinner rolls, 1 extra ginger scone, (bits of ginger inside), 6 maple butter biscuits, ( will lather honey and ginger on these for brunch), and an exceptional authentic Irish soda bread, ( travels well, as I broke off warm pieces on my drive home. I shared all with my son's family. Big and little thumbs up.Yes I will be back hoping that more ginger treats await as well as those fudge brownies and giant coconut macaroons in the front case.

This is a beautiful little bakery and I can't wait to see if grow as the pandemic lifts. We bought a ton, but are SUPER happy with the French loaf and the seed loaf. It's fresh and light with a bit of a crunchy crust. It doesn't hurt my jaw to chew, as some other loaves will often do. We bought it last night and kept it in the brown bag overnight on the counter and today, its still fresh, soft, and delicious. It won't live to see another day so I won't be able to update you tomorrow but I highly recommend this wonderful bakery.
