One family-inspired cafe in Berkeley Springs is offering breakfast and lunch, along with fresh pastries and specialty desserts.



Charlotte's Cafe is a midsize cafe offering a standard selection of breakfast items like pancakes and eggs, as well as lunch items like soup, salad and sandwiches. It's a lovely collection of offerings, but I was most excited about the house-made sweets.



The case at the counter was full of croissants, cinnamon rolls, and one of my personal favorites: bread pudding.



This giant hunk of bread pudding was not lacking in heft. And there was a lovely caramel drizzled over top, but the actual bread itself didn't quite come together as much as I would love. I want it to be one giant moist conglomeration. I do have years of bread pudding-eating under my belt, so I have a specific idea in mind when it comes to the dessert. But, this is a solid take on it.
