I don’t think there is enough positive words I could use to express how good the breakfast is here!

Sweet and small bakery/restaurant tucked in the middle of the charming NoDa neighborhood. I got to-go brunch and ate it on a picnic bench outside of the storefront. The eggs Benedict were amazing and everything was super fresh. They have a variety of coffee, sodas, beer, etc to enjoy with your meal. Really sweet staff and nice calm spot.

We are from FL but someone local recommended we stop in Noda for lunch. Local Loaf was great! I had probably the best eggs next to my Great Grandmas I’ve ever eaten. The staff also made some delicious ice cream cookies for our kids. I’ll definitely go back when I’m in Charlotte.

I love supporting local businesses as a NoDa native, and I was so excited to try Local Loaf having driven by here a few times, but my experience here really missed the mark. Came around 2:00pm on Sunday after placing a pickup order online that was timed for after 1:50pm. When I arrived, the doors were locked, no one came to greet us, and there were no signs indicating a pickup spot. I 100% understand being short staffed with the pandemic, but the pickup/order system is something that can easily be solved by communicating with customers. I had to approach a worker for my order (which was already sitting on the counter) when she briefly popped out to give another customer their order. We got two everything bagel B.E.C. sandwiches and neither of us could eat them because the bagels were sadly inedible. They sat in a huge pool of grease, and the bagels themselves tasted as if they were baked days ago and left sitting out the entire time because of how stale and difficult to chew they were. Super disappointed because the rest of the food looks delicious, but we spent $20 on our food and couldn’t even eat it. ☹️

I ate so fast I didn’t even have a chance to get a picture because it was that good! I ordered the chicken and the egg so luckily there is already a pretty good pic of that here. The egg was a little over done and the cheer-wine was amazing but I’d get it on the side next time I order to go because it was a little too much for me. The micro greens were good but a little wilted but the time I got home so definitely to order in. The homemade biscuit & hand breaded fried chicken stole the show. They were a little behind on their online orders so I will be back to eat on site at one of the picnic tables next time.

There is quite a variety here besides fresh bread! A useful, high quality stop and shop neighborhood store. With a pop up Farmers Market

I stumbled upon this place while flying out of Charlotte a few years ago and it was so good I sought it out specifically the next time I flew out of Charlotte. I had an egg and cheese biscuit and it’s been two years now but I still think about that breakfast sandwich, I just searched through all my google maps history to find the name of this shop because I was thinking about it today and thought if I’m still dreaming about that breakfast sandwich years later I should write a review. They’re great, check them out if you’re in the area.

By far the best breakfast we have had. There breakfast burrito, sandwhich and their bacon is probably the best we have ordered ever. A+++ if you are in North Carolina you have to have breakfast here.

Highly recommend the ‘Chicken n egg’! The texture of biscuit is good, and I super love the cheese fried chicken:) it’s juicy! And the sauce mix perfectly! Also like the French toast, they use brioche bread, plus you can choose the style of your egg!

Review №12

Oh my god… this was incredible. Currently offering to-go only so make sure you place an order before you arrive. But I have to say, their Croque Madam sandwich was the best I have had in America. A seriously delightful surprise. Everything my partner and I had was delicious. So far, this restaurant makes every other charlotte breakfast spot look like a gas station.So happy to support an amazing and local business!

Local loaf is currently online to go orders only on he weekend (as of Oct 2021). They have several large picnic tables outside to wait or eat at. Its a nice quiet side street in NoDa. We got brunch for 4 and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. We got the chicken and waffles, croque madam, breakfast burger, and the chicken and egg biscuit. The chicken tenders and hand made in house, well seasoned, and fried to crispy perfection. The chipotle cheerwine sauce on the chicken and egg biscuit should be bottled and sold (and let me know if/when this happens so I can stock up). You cant go wrong with any of the sides, everything is super fresh.

I’m shocked to read the 1 star reviews. I couldn’t disagree with them more. Let’s starts with the staff. The young lady who helped us was super friendly and accommodating. My sister has dietary restrictions (she a vegetarian). They went out of their way to make her the croquette madam with the ham on the side (for me since I am not a vegetarian). And they even seared the ham for me. Super awesome!I think the food was excellent. Granted, I preferred my sisters croquette madam more than my fried chicken sandwich but that’s not a reflection of the food (the chicken came with a syrup drizzle which was good but not what I wanted on my sandwich). Also, anytime an establishment serves home made freshly made chips, they get a thumbs up in my books.Lastly, let’s talk about price. If you want good, quality, freshly made food, you shouldn’t complain about the price. My sister and I are San Francisco, CA natives so we know all about pricey food woes. In my opinion, the food was reasonably priced and more importantly, delicious! This place is worth it! We’ll be coming back when we get a chance to visit Charlotte again!

First time going to the local loaf was during the Charlotte marathon. So it was a little hectic, however, They were super attentive and quick with our order. The breakfast biscuit and French toast are the perfect way to start any weekend.

Review №19

I have enjoyed supporting this small business for a few years now. The lobster rolls, broccoli burger, grits, cucumber.and tomato salad, breakfast burrito, and chicken and egg biscuit are always on point. They also have local products to enjoy such as honey, flavored syrups, specialty drinks and gourmet snacks. They adapted well during the pandemic. The online ordering process is seamless and the food is consistently ready within the noted timeframe.

Review №22

One of my absolute favorite places in Charlotte and Im blessed to be within walking distance. Since moving to NoDa Ive been working my way through the menu and havent been disappointed (only extremely impressed!). My favorites so far are the Breakfast Burrito and Spanish Migas. Breakfast food is my favorite at all times of the day and Im not sure theres a place in Charlotte that can beat them on quality of what they offer and their prices are exceptionally fair too. Ive been ordering meats and cheeses from them and Id recommend purchasing from them instead of the grocery store. Finally, the staff are great and so friendly - literally knew my name after the second visit.

Review №23

The food was unique and a nice change of pace for breakfast. My wife got the Monte Cristo which is very good tasting (see picture). Her dish was supposed to come with cinnamon fried ice cream, but they were out and hadnt changed the menu yet, so that was a bit disappointing. I got the chicken and the egg which was overall very good. The chicken was excellent, and so was the sauce, but the biscuit was dry, and the egg was tasteless. As stated, a nice change of pace, but I wouldnt spend $22 here again for breakfast. Also, they dont provide free tap water, only bottle water which added $2 to our tab.

Quesadilla, fried rice, chicken wings, shrimp, shrimp and grits, stuffed grape leaves, with an amazing wine and beer selection. Thanks so much! Absolutely delicious and fun evening!

Local Loaf is a great breakfast and lunch place in downtown Charlotte in the seventh Street public market. They have a variety of sandwiches and a great breakfast burrito that can be done vegetarian or vegan. And of course if you’re carb freak they have great breads.

This place is a true Charlotte gem of a place and, likely, not what you were expecting. First of all the owners, Adam and Kristen, are two of the NICEST people you ever want to meet, and they will do what they can to welcome one and all. Then there is the food. Wow! We ordered the hot lobster roll (why people would prefer the cold sandwich over the hot one is BEYOND my comprehension, but...), The chicken and blueberry waffle and we had warm peanut butter cookies and coffee. All of it was AMAZING.Follow the adventures of my dog Gilmoure on IG @the_happiest_gilmoure

This place is a Noda gem! The food is delicious, fresh, and expertly cooked (and you will definitely find some dishes you wouldnt expect at a local cafe). The owners are also warm, wonderful people that really care about their customers and community. I have had a lot of different things on their menu, and never been disappointed (and be sure to get a cookie - the best in the city if you ask me).

Easily the best sandwiches in Charlotte. I’ve never had a single bad thing from here, perfect for breakfast or lunch. I’m a sausage egg and cheese fiend and I haven’t had a better one in this city. I don’t think I’ve had everything on the menu yet but I haven’t been let down so far. The staff is supremely nice and hospitable as well. Well worth your time to check out.

Local Loaf has been a lifesaver during the NC stay at home order. Weve been able to get essentials like bread, milk, cheese, and eggs for pickup without hazarding a trip to the grocery store. (Their chocolate chip cookies are great comfort food at this time, too.)

If you havent been to Local Loaf, you are missing out. From the homemade English muffins and bagels, to the amazing cookies and treats, and the great wine and beer selection, this place doesnt disappoint!

Adam and Kristin make you feel like family in this great neighborhood hangout!

Great spot for food & drinks! The chef knows how to make any dish divine, even offering me my very own vegan dishes during their 7 course, wine-paired meal event! He is very talented, the wine is amazing, well priced, and the atmosphere is very comfortable. The owners have done so much with this neighborhood spot, we are very lucky to have them here. Check them out for brunch all day, wine tastings, & more dinner events!

Unfortunate experience today.1. The food was just bad1a. Chips were cold and soggy and they were out of all other sides1b. This place is supposedly a bakery and the bread tasted freezer burnt1c. Food was saltier than I am as I type this review2. Workers were rude, lazy, and apathetic2a. I asked for ketchup, and they said I mean I can try to remember but you should just go ask yourself3. Overpriced (if charging a premium then the food should be at least palatable and service should at least be bearable)This place must get by on the sole fact that they are located in the 7th Street Public Market.

This place was an amazing find!! We came here around brunch and was blown away by the quality and flavor of the food. Saw the chicken parmesan sammich on the menu and thought... Chicken parm? At a breakfast joint? But my dudes, its soooo much more. And this is single handedly the best chicken parm, chicken sammich, hell, best chicken ANYTHING Ive ever had. My wife had the hash brown thing, cant remember the name, but when we come back I will definitely be getting that! The staff is wonderful here. The atmosphere is extremely chill. 10 out of 5 stars.
