Do you love our hearth bread? Baked fresh and hand-made daily, we are always looking for delicious new ways to tempt you into eating well.

Our bakers have come up with an amazing new bun: Chocolate Chunk Ciabatta (pronounced Chi-batta).

Our wonderfully chewy ciabatta dough is filled with healthy, not-too-sweet 70% chocolate chunks. Make a grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich or slather with some blue cheese and heat under the broiler until bubbly. Or, simply toast and spread with salted butter. Any way you cut it, this bun is amazing! They freeze well, too, so take home a bunch!
