I create a breadcrumb context menu with binding using the code below. The code you should be interested in is the toolkit:ContextMenu.ItemTemplate section where you specify the bindings. Notice that you can also bind to a command parameter like I do with the index value.

The toolkit:ContextMenu.Template section is not needed. I added this to allow scrolling the items if there are more than will fit on the screen and also to move the menu to the bottom of the screen.

    <toolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
        <toolkit:ContextMenu x:Name="breadCrumbContextMenu" ItemsSource="{Binding CloudViewModel.BreadCrumbMenuItems}" Opened="ContextMenu_Opened" Closed="Breadcrumb_ContextMenu_Closed">
            <toolkit:ContextMenu.Template>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="toolkit:ContextMenu">
                    <Border Margin="0,700,0,0" BorderThickness="1" >
                        <ScrollViewer MaxHeight="700">
                            <ItemsPresenter/>
                        </ScrollViewer>
                    </Border>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </toolkit:ContextMenu.Template>
            <toolkit:ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <toolkit:MenuItem Click="breadcrumbMenuItem_Click" CommandParameter="{Binding Index}" Padding="0">
                        <toolkit:MenuItem.Header>
                            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="40">
                                <Image Source="{Binding Image}" Width="40" Height="40" />
                                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Text}" Margin="24,0,0,0" />
                            </StackPanel>
                        </toolkit:MenuItem.Header>
                    </toolkit:MenuItem>
                </DataTemplate>
            </toolkit:ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
        </toolkit:ContextMenu>
    </toolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
