A freshly baked Espresso Chocolate Chip Quick Bread with a rich, dark brown color and a moist, dense texture. The loaf is infused with bold espresso and studded with melted chocolate chips. The top has a slightly cracked surface, revealing gooey chocolate and a sprinkle of coffee beans. It rests on a wooden cutting board atop a rustic wooden table, with a few slices cut to showcase the soft, coffee-infused crumb. A small cup of espresso, scattered chocolate chips, and a linen napkin complete the cozy presentation. Warm, natural lighting enhances the inviting, homemade feel.

Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

Serving Tip:
Serve warm with a spread of dairy-free butter or alongside a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream.
Wine Advice:
Pair this rich espresso chocolate chip bread with a Tawny Port for its caramel and nutty notes or a Merlot for a smooth, fruit-forward contrast. For a bold pairing, try a Barolo Chinato, which has herbal and chocolate undertones.
