Nice spot for brunch on in the 7th Street market . I really enjoy the bacon and blueberry waffles. The waffle is a waffle of the day , so subject to change. The most famous dish here is 'the chicken and the egg'. I'm not a fan of their grits , but overall this is a great brunch spot to come to . Unfortunately, breakfast here does not come with a drink , so it can get pricy eating here . read more

The food here is amazing. And it's located inside 7th Street Market, which is amazing in itself. If you want to have a perfect Saturday morning head there, get a coffee from Not Just Coffee, brunch from Local Loaf, and just browse around looking at trinkets and buying samples and possibly heading home with a tub of homemade pimento cheese. I felt it was my duty to get "The Chicken and the Egg," being from Salisbury and all (home of Cheerwine). Let me tell you it did not disappoint. Biscuit was perfect, chicken was perfect, and everything tasted great together. Warning: this is not an eat with your hands sandwich-- way too huge and messy. Knife and fork it is. BF got the "Steak and Egg" and it was great as well. We also ordered a loaf of their sourdough to take home. So fresh out of the oven they couldn't even slice for us. Was wonderful with the pimento cheese we picked up from Virginia's. Can't wait to go back and try some of the other menu items! read more

We tried takeout here for breakfast during COVID, they have a great online ordering and pick-up system set up. The breakfast sandwiches are delicious!! And huge portion for the sandwich, both times we've been I end up saving half for later. The potato boxto browns are a must try! So good read more

I might have to fly back to this city to get this again. Out of town, on a layover, I took an Uber to uptown. I got here at around ~8am on a Thursday so it was pretty quiet. Went for the 'Chicken and the Egg' and boy, it's next level. Food took about 20 mins or so to come out on a quiet day but it was worth the wait! The chicken was on point with some great spices and cooked at a optimal level, not dry at all. The biscuit and eggs were great, I loved the jam on everything, really brought it all together. The chips were... chips but they were really well done, well done rustic style chips making me want more. Overall, really worth stopping by, some great food out here. read more

Local Loaf - Seriously some of the best chicken, biscuit and even chips I've encountered. - Bakeries Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

OMG!!!!! Amazing!! What's better than Bfast thats served all day...? Yes, they have salads, soup, sandwiches and burgers including 3 veggie burger options- falafel, portobello and broccoli but the BREAKFAST is OMG good! Fresh, quality ingredients made to order and the service is surprisingly fast. Speaking of service, everyone was very nice and they personally deliver the food to your table. We had moved to a far corner location to find the ONLY outlets for our laptops (note to 7th Street Public Market- we need outlets!!!) and the service staff at Local Loaf came and found us!! Prices are mid-range with most items at $10 and worth every bite. Overall a Yelp success and looking forward to coming back again the next time I'm in town. read more

Local Loaf - CHIPS!! Made in house! - Bakeries Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This restaurant is a gem! I had an excellent breakfast here over the weekend and their delicious food and generous portions already have me wanting to come back. Local Loaf is located inside 7th Street Public Market along with several other local businesses. The duck and waffle in other yelp reviews is what brought me here, but I didn't see it on the menu during our visit. But no problem, they had some other tasty items to try! I ordered the Croque Madame, which is honestly a cheese lover's dream breakfast. Melty cheese on the inside AND the outside! Also, you could tell the quality of the bread was really good. The sandwich was huge and I could only eat about 2/3rds of it. I even enjoyed the unique presentation of the sandwich on a cool wooden board, instead of the typical tray. We had no problems with crowds or seating since we arrived right when they opened, but I can see that seating could become more difficult during lunch as the other restaurants start to open for the day too. Also, I know parking downtown can be a little tricky. I wish we had known that you can park in the deck next to 7th Street Public Market and have your ticket validated inside the market. If you do, then you get your first 90 minutes of parking for free! We'll definitely be doing this next time, instead of driving around downtown trying to find free street parking. read more

They put a nice twist on traditional breakfast and lunch classics, such as biscuits and gravy. We ordered these with eggs and bacon. To our surprise , the gravy had a distinct curry flavor, which added an interesting touch. Though the portion wasn't huge, we didn't end up being able to finish it because of the unexpectedly powerful flavor. I love that they also bake their own bread for this stand, and would definitely try a lunch sandwich on a fresh slice of wheat bread when I visit again! This place is also nice because it's in the public market, so there are many different options if you're with a group of people. I think it would be a great lunch option in a weekend afternoon, and will keep it in mind when I'm back in the area! read more

We visited the Seventh Street Market on a Sunday morning. I had their croissantwich. It is a toasted croissant sandwich with scrambled egg, bacon, and cheese. Customers order at the counter and get a number to display at their table in the open marketplace. When the food is ready, it is delivered to your table. Although this wasn't exactly a healthy meal, I did enjoy it. read more

So I stopped by here on my lunch break. I have an hour for said break. It took them 45 mins to bring my burger out. Needless to say, I was NOT HAPPY. There was no kind of warning that the wait would be so long so I was completely blind sided by this. They don't have fries which is sad for me and even sadder that their chips are bland. They don't put any condiments on their burgers. The actual meat and bun were yummy but the wait time definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

After hearing loads of reviews about this happening place, my first instinct was to go to Not Just Coffee. I was surprised when I was immediately greeted by the workers of Local Loaf. I was lost down town, and I asked them for directions, they gave me accurate directions. After I got my cup of coffee, I decided to go to them for an afternoon snack. The man who took my order was Jaris.(Like Paris with a J- like he said). He was wonderful, wonderful reccomendations and extremely professional. The asiago croissant he treated me with was delightful, probably the best I've had in a while-- Speaking from a New Yorker's tastebud, of good food at local joints. Yes, I'm going to drive about 25 minutes out of my way to get a croissant from Local Loaf, and for the service I experienced here. 10/10. read more

I work on 7th street so frequent the 7th street market. First, the guy who works the front is so friendly and just a genuine guy. I've enjoyed most of the food I have gotten here. While a bit pricey, the ingredients are quality. We once ordered a large order in the morning and those sandwiches were disappointing. Would recommend getting something fresh there. read more

We love everything here! We especially loved their meat pies which we were disappointed to find out, aren't being made much anymore. We also love how they have a stand at the NoDa farmer's market! read more

A good friend of mine was in town last weekend and we decided to go to brunch that Sunday. I found a hidden gem off the beaten path in NODA. It's called the Local Loaf. It's very unpretentious and welcoming from the outside. Wooden picnic tables line the corner perimeter of the building. The inside isn't fancy either. Simple, spartan and comfortable. You'll find the menu online. No paper or laminated cards here. There was a gray haired gentleman taking orders and he was very friendly and knowledgable about the fare they offered. His name is Jay. So is mine. Anyhoo, there were only three people working...Jay, taking orders, one cook and a dynamite server who not only served, but helped the cook on the line. Jay told us that they had in excess of 30 call-in orders so it may be about 30 minutes before we would be served. We instantly liked this little place so much, we decided we didn't mind at all. Jay served us two cups of freshly brewed Smelly Cat coffee in rustic stoneware mugs and we quickly found an empty picnic table outside and settled in. My friend and I chit-chatted about everything and nothing as we are prone to do. Quaint little bungalow houses lined the streets of the intersection where the restaurant is located. We were in the shade and the fresh, hot cups of coffee fended off the lightest chill in the breeze. Our food finally arrived and the server, I forgot her name, placed it in front of us with a big smile on her face. We had a short friendly conversation and she left us to enjoy our brunch. And enjoyed it, we did! I ordered Croque Madam and it was everything. Brioche, nice salty, smoky ham, the morney and the cheese topped with the Sunnyside up egg. I lived in Montmartre, Paris and the Croque took me back to those days at Cafe Remy. Had my first of many there. I digress. My friend had light and fluffy waffles, bacon and overeasy eggs. She said for a simple meal, it was perfect. Cheers to the cook at Local Loaf! We will definitely come back. You don't come across little treasures that often. read more

Omg the BLT is literally the bees knees. I actually felt like I was eating something healthy even though clearly it was not. 5 stars

Anyone that can get me to eat a poached egg and like it is wonderful. From service to food, love it and will return!

Their coffee is gross. It tastes like instant coffee or Folgers if you're into that kinda thing. Also their bathrooms are dirty and nasty.

QUICK: artisanal, quality-crafted food with unique twists on local favorites. Go try this place! It's a bit difficult to find (located in the 7th Street Public Market), but well worth it! Like Chick-Fil-A? Try to the chicken and egg sandwich....holy S! DETAILED: This place is located in the 7th Street Public Market. Don't try to Waze it or Google Maps it, both took me to wrong places. Go to the Epicenter, take a left from Trade, then go two blocks and take a right. Go inside the Public Market and it's the first place on the right inside. The menu is somewhat limited, but they do a great job with what they offer. Having recently moved to Charlotte from California, Chick-Fil-A's chicken and egg biscuits have been a local treat. This one is on STEROIDS! They give you a home-made biscuit, hand-breaded chicken tenders, micro greens, a poached egg and Cheerwine (which is a Southern soda for those of you not from the South) reduction glaze. So dope!!! The people were friendly at the counter. I called ahead and they actually got the order right (not a knock on them, many other places screw up takeout orders - I guess b/c they figure you won't notice until you're back at home/work). The other stuff looks good too. Give it a shot, I don't think you will be disappointed. Oh yeah, and they serve breakfast all day, which is a plus in my book! read more

Local Loaf - Chicken & Egg...delicious! - Bakeries Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

First off, did you know that most of the 7th St. Market is open on the weekends for brunch on Saturday? We had the most delicious experience here. You could even score one meal from Local Loaf and another from the Crepe place about ten steps away to split. We tried the Chicken and the Egg, Biscuits and Gravy and a make your own omelet. We sat at tables in the center of the market and waited maybe ten minutes for the food to come out. You could grab something from Not Just Coffee while waiting on shop the market. I haven't always liked biscuits and gravy but I must say the ones here were enough to convert anyone. They do their bread right at Local Loaf and the sausage gravy could convert vegetarians. Big fan of the Chicken and Egg- I had them pick for me and I was pleased with this. Not too big not too small, perfectly executed egg, Cheerwine sauce giving it a sweet/savory thing with the fried chicken. Comes with a small side of cucumber salad or house made chips. if you want something remarkable for brunch (or any other meal but I feel like the wait may be longer then) check out Local Loaf. Their food is local (does that go without saying?) and you won't fight the crowds for brunch. read more

So i had a terrible experience here this past Sunday. My grandmother came into town and i wanted to take her to a nice Charlotte restaurant for breakfast instead of a chain she could get anyway else. I had had Local Loaf before at 7th st Market and new the food was really good. The atmosphere was nothing like the website described and after waiting an hr for our order we; my grandmother, my son and brother, and myself; were all pretty hungry and upset. Instead of the staff being apologetic and try to fix the bad situation, we were met with a cranky and rude chef who only had excuses and didn't seem interested in helping fix the bad experience we were having. We had to watch other people get served their food before us when the arrived long after we did. He ended up just getting our money back and leaving. I was embarrassed and livid and i will surely never spend money at this establishment or suggest it to anyone else. I don't know why; maybe our order was lost, maybe the chef was the only one in the kitchen, maybe it was our race(which i really hope it isnt), but there whole experience was really disheartening. I just wanted to show my grandmother a good time read more

The guy working was so attentive and kind! (I wish I got his name..) He offered to help answer any questions we had about the market and the restaurant. Great service and such a memorable experience! We ended up ordering from his restaurant and I got the veggie Broccolini burger with a side of pickled cucumber. My mom got the pancetta sandwich with the soup. read more

While picking up my to go order I felt very unwelcome. The lady who finally helped me acted like she was doing me a favor. Right now mask are required and I saw employees with them on their chin which was a huge turn off right before I get my food. My breakfast burrito was cold and soggy and my husbands biscuits and gravy were watered down. (Probably bc it took so long to get my food) I really wanted to like this place but I will not be back. So disappointed. read more

I'm still unsure about Local Loaf. The logistics of every food item I've ever got there have been less than desirable. Just really messy--difficult to eat food. Don't get me wrong, the taste is there on pretty much everything. The only thing I haven't liked were the grits...something strange in the taste, almost perfumey. Location is perfect, I love 7th Street Market. Service is always friendly and helpful--they always offer suggestions and answer questions. I love that breakfast is available all day. It just hasn't been a homerun hit for me, but I'll keep going back to get it there! read more

Such a cute eatery inside the 7th Street Public Market! Warning- they do get very crowded on the weekends during breakfast/brunch time, but they do get the food out pretty quick! Also, I learned that they only make a certain amount of croissants and sell out quickly (they make them on site and are labor intensive), so be prepared to get your bacon, egg and cheddar sandwich on toasted bread or a bagel instead if you get there a little later! They offer a different flavored waffle daily and also pump out a ton of "The Chicken and the Egg," which looked amazing. Grab a coffee at Not Just Coffee inside the market and some breakfast from Local Loaf- you won't be disappointed! read more

I love local neighborhood spots and this places fits the bill. Definitely a gem right in Noda, you get the local neighborhood vibe as soon as you walk in. Parking is along the street, but didn't seem to be much of an issue find places. The have a really good menu and with so many good options, choosing can be hard so look ahead! The staff and owners are really nice and chicken and egg biscuit was great. The also have a fried bologna sandwich(my old after school snack) so I'll be returning to check it out! read more

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! Dining area is cozy, and the service is nice as well! read more

We ate here on Sunday morning around 10 am. The hubster and I each got a Palli (vegetarian) sandwich: cooked spinach, sweet grilled red bell peppers, olive oil, and a thick slice of melty mozzarella on freshly made focaccia. We got a side of house-made chips. After paying and receiving our table marker, we went over to Not Just Coffee for their "to die for" lattes w/almond milk. The sandwiches were brought to us about four minutes after we started sipping our lattes. Everything was delicious! The sandwiches were simple, tasty, and though vegetarian were quite hearty. The bread was fresh; soft and flavorful in the middle with a perfect crisp crust. We both enjoyed the chips too. Yes, there were a couple that were dark and bitter but the majority were a delicious compliment to our sandwiches: very lightly salted so you can actually taste potato. I think the sandwich could be even better with a couple thick slices of grilled portobello mushrooms brushed with a little BBQ sauce. A perfect dessert afterwards was chocolates from barChocolate...(^.^) read more

Okay so The Chicken and The Egg... Absolutely amazing! The sauce that tops everything is this wonderful sweet, tangy concoction that finishes with a fabulous not too spicy kick. I noticed a lot of people got the dish with chips, but I thought the cucumber salad, with it's cool, crisp texture complimented the zesty flavor profile of the The Chicken and The Egg. I highly recommend this dish! read more

Local Loaf recently opened at the 7th Street Public Market's in Uptown Charlotte, NC and we are already hooked. Adam Spears is the creative mind behind Local Loaf and the vision is to provide the finest freshly baked artisan breads, world class ciabattas, handed rolled baguettes, and a variety of fresh baked loaves. We haven't come across anything like this in the Queen City yet and we were in love at the first bite. The Local Dip comes served on a hand rolled baquette with red wine braised sirloin, provolone cheese, caramelized onions, and au jus. The best part of this sandwich was easily the baguette. As a baker I (ella) really admire people who will take the time to hand craft the bread they serve. The baguette was light and airy, had great flavor and didn't cut the roof of my mouth when I ate it. The sirloin was dripping with flavor that paired perfectly with the provolone and carmel onions, and the au jus was the perfect dip. I (curtis) opted for the hot steak sandwich which is served on a crusty baquette with marinated skirt steak, red onion jam, melted aged white cheddar, cress mirco greens, and topped off with a horseradish garlic aioli. I hate horseradish... but the horseradish garlic aioli was what I would consider "finger lickin' good" and the skirt steak was as juicy as it was fresh. This was the best steak sandwich I've had in... well... maybe ever? We loved Local Loaf so much on our first trip we decided to head back a few days later to check out the breakfast menu. Ella got the chicken & egg biscuit with a generous piece of fried chicken breast topped with a Cheerwine chipotle honey glaze, aged white cheddar, a soft poached egg, and mustard greens. This is by far the best tasting and most creative breakfast sandwich I (ella) have ever come across. The chicken was super juicy with the perfect amount of fried crunchy exterior and the poached egg added a nice sauce to soak up into the light fluffy biscuit. The part that really stood out was the spicy, sweet, and very delicious Cheerwine chipotle honey glaze. One bite of the chicken and egg biscuit made be an instant fan. The steak & egg baguette came with marinated steak served with soft scrambled egg, honey roasted garlic and smoked jalapeno aioli, arugula served on a rustic hand-rolled baguette. I (curtis) absolutely loved the sandwich but didn't like the focaccia it was served on. Normally its served on a "rustic hand-rolled baquette" but they weren't ready when we were there so mine came on focaccia instead. Ella makes an amazing focaccia that I have become slightly accustomed too so maybe I'm a little biased but whatever. Local Loaf just opened in the 7th St Public Market and if you haven't been by there lately you really need too. Chef Adam has an amazing concept on his hands and we're in love with Local Loaf. read more

A staple to a big city like Charlotte. Why? Because they're a top notch, down home nook, on a corner NEIGHBORHOOD street in such a huge vast progressive city. It's nice to be able to escape all the modern nonsense coming here. The food is incredible and they're loyalty to their customers (was there right when they opened, basically before they had a chance to turn on the lights at the crack of dawn and they cooked my order above and beyond.... Grateful.) and craft are impeccable and hard to come by in restaurant culture. Thank you for what you do here at Local Loaf. You certainly have a special place here in Charlotte. We enjoyed the "Chicken and the Egg", "Croque Madame" ..... Y'all THE FREAKING BEST PANCAKES I'VE EVER HAD.... Side of stone ground grits. Local fresh brewed coffee, and even bought a loaf of brioche to take back to the Outer Banks, NC. read more
