Buchon's Chocolate Cherry Bread

A limited Valentine's Day offering, I was told through Sunday only. Bought a loaf this morning only because they were offering samples and once I tasted it I had to have more. Its unbeleivable. Its also $13, which is fair given the heavy amount of high quality chocolate and cherries throughout the dense loaf. I'm going back tomorrow for another one.

  1. I haven't had chocolate cherry bread in years, but I remember that Amy's Breads used to make it, as did one of the bread purveyors at the Union Square Greenmarket. I can't remember the vendor's name, but they're there on Saturday's, on the west side of the market.

    Yum.

    1. Almondine, choc cherry bread sounds great; i've never had it. Where is Buchon's? I tried searching the yellow pages but nothing came up. Thanks.

          Wow thanks for the fast reply cimui! I've been meaning to check out Bouchon & TWC on one of my next rare trips uptown.. you know, have to dust off the passport :)

      2. mmm--nice tip, almondine. thank you for sharing! fresh cherries or dried cherries?

        1. re: cimui

          Very moist dried cherries and excellent chocolate chunks. This was truly the most delicious baked good I've had in ages. Devoured half the loaf myself (oink!).

          1. re: Almondine

            As good as Zingeman's Cherry chocolate cherry bread?

              No.
              Definitely much better.
