Bread Euphoria: A Delicious Stop

Published on August 9, 2016 By Emily. Updated on August 9, 2016

The past two days have found me driving to and from Northampton for professional development.  Even though it was over an hour in the car each way, it wasn’t all bad.  The professional development was actually really interesting.  The drive was beautiful.  And I went right by Bread Euphoria Bakery and Cafe twice a day.

Even though I don’t find myself headed east often, I’ve been a Bread Euphoria fan for years.  The café is an unassuming place on Route 9, right on the Williamsburg/Northampton line.

Despite passing the place four times in total since Monday morning, I avoided temptation and only stopped twice.  On Monday afternoon, I made my first stop at Bread Euphoria.  It looked pretty much the same as I remembered from last time I was there: cases of pastries, colorful menus featuring breakfast, lunch and dinner, and indoor and outdoor seating.  The incredible smell of fresh baked bread filled the air.

I purchased a crusty loaf of sesame bread and was thrilled when I was asked if I wanted the loaf sliced.  I bake almost all of my own bread and thereby slice it myself, but it was so nice to have it done for me.  I did have a fleeting thought about why I didn’t just use the bread we already had at home as part of dinner, but the loaf was worth the investment – bread made in a real bread oven is definitely better than even the best bread I make.  And I could never get my sesame seeds to stick to the loaf like that.

This morning I stopped by on my way to the meeting.  I had an delicious egg and cheddar breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel (also made at the cafe!).  Even better was the house made chai, which I was super impressed to discover was available in decaf (related:  limiting my caffeine is not my favorite).  It was so good that Bread Euphoria may have just taken the top spot in my list of “Favorite Chai in Western Massachusetts”.  Clearly, more research is needed in this area, but it was a fantastic chai.

There was a time when I was very unwilling to drive more as far as Northampton by myself, but I loved driving this route over the past two days.  No matter which roads you take, the ride from the Berkshires to the Pioneer Valley is a beautiful one that takes you though adorable towns, lush forests and rolling hills.  Plus, the stops along the way can be pretty great.  I’m already looking forward to my next trip east – and another stop at Bread Euphoria.

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
