Really cool place located in a house that is in the middle of a neighborhood. It had so many good options. My wife ordered the baked apple grain and to be frank I thought it was nuts to pay $14 for them. But after eating a few bites of hers it was clear that I'd pay that again to have them. That was something special. I ordered the bacon, egg and cheese, garlic aioli with brioche bun. It did take a long time to receive our food but they were helpful and kind. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Cute little neighborhood spot. Decor and vibe are very basic, but also charming. My group sat outside for breakfast and really enjoyed our meals. I got the shakshouka which had properly runny eggs and good flavor. Friends got biscuit sandwiches and the fried chicken. Both were great and we especially loved the biscuits! read more

This place is severely underrated!! If you want an aesthetic, ambient dining experience then this isn't the spot for you. But if you want TASTY food at great prices, and easy going vibe, and fun daily deals (helloooo half priced wine bottles on fridays!), this is your spot. I grew up around really good authentic Cuban food and while the sandwich here is a little different than traditional cubans, it's one of the BEST I've ever had. Plus the service is very friendly and laid back. read more

I've lived in Charlotte for two years and Local Loaf is one of my favorite neighborhood spots in NoDa. Whether you're there for breakfast, lunch or appetizers, the food is always delicious. If going out to eat isn't your vibe, they also offer various drink specials, and host a farmers market on Thursday evenings during the warmer months where you can purchase local eggs, meat, honey, produce and other goods. The Loaf also offers an assortment of homemade breads, muffins and baked goods. Additionally, the service is always so friendly and welcoming, and the entire vibe of the restaurant is so positive and kind. If you're in Charlotte and looking for a welcoming neighborhood spot with good service, good food and good drinks, I highly recommend Local Loaf. read more

Half day visit to Noda and loved that we found this on our walk by! Go for the breads and sandwiches- Reuben and Cuban were amazing!! -...but don't forget the kids (and be sure to take a taste) the kids tenders were amazing. it was real food, real chicken freshly made!! Best tender I've had in forever, purchased for my 14 mo old that eats like a 5yo. Tables were all dirty, but I come with wipes. Floors were really gross, my child help contribute and the wipe was sollllid black when I picked up his dropped food. Bathroom was decent. read more

Behind all of the artsy restaurants and bars is this hidden restaurant and bakery. Its a few blocks from the 36th street station lightrail stop. I came here on a nice Saturday afternoon to grab some brunch with my friends. They have a seating area where you can enjoy great foods after ordering at the register. They also have a great selection of specialty foods, local craft beers and wines and fresh baked bread. I originally wanted to order the chicken and waffles but they were out of waffles so I decided to go with the French toast, which comes with two eggs and bacon. The French toast was thick and fluffy and had a nice cinnamon flavor. The eggs and bacon were very good as well. I also got a mimosa which was pretty strong but really good! Although everything was good, I am giving the restaurant 4 stars because it wasn't AMAZING. I believe that there are much better brunch places in Charlotte but I would recommend this one if you are looking for a low key brunch, without long wait times and a high price range. read more

So delicious! Shrimp and grits were fabulous. Pancakes were unexpectedly unique. Good, but sweet - they would have been great as a share for the table. Breakfast burrito was top-notch with a southern take on the usual. read more

This is the cutest place to stop by and enjoy a nice brunch. The staff here is so amazing and on top of it. The restaurant itself is quaint and homely, giving an inviting feel to families, dates or a personal meal. All the food my friends and I got was amazing, weather you want savory or sweet. I highly recommend this bowl as its hearty, filling and fresh. read more

I really like the local loaf, but was not happy with my ordering decision this time. They have pretty unique food selections, and are very high quality. I got the Kickin' Chicken Sandwich and it's almost impossible to eat as a sandwich, because it is made from chicken tenders. The piled 4 crispy and meaty chicken tenders on one brioche bun, so I wouldn't up eating two separately and attempting to eat the other two on the sandwich. Super messy, but good flavor. They have their own house hot sauce, which has a nice kick to it. They also have a garlic mayo on it, which sounds great in theory but the hot sauce was so overpowering you couldn't really taste the pickles or garlic mayo. I wouldn't order this Sammy again unless it's a full chicken breast vs tenders, but I'll definitely be back to keep exploring the menu! Will report back on the next item I try. I love that they use reusable containers so I can take it home and use it again or recycle it. read more

Run- don't walk to Local Loaf for breakfast! First time here today and we will def be back. It was a perfect mother/daughter breakfast treat. Such a cute, non assuming exterior in a great location. We arrived right at 9:00 and ordered the baked apple grain bowl and the Chicken & The Egg. Both were absolutely delicious and plated so nicely. Perfectly photogenic. The steel cut oats were paired with just the right amount of fruit and sweetness. The chicken....don't get me started. DIVINE! That spicy sauce and perfectly poached egg on a tasty biscuit We will def make the drive back here (from Gastonia). The friendly gentleman that took our order and served us was so kind. read more

Local Loaf has become my favorite go-to spot in NoDa. I just recently moved to the neighborhood and checked out Local Loaf based upon a recommendation from a friend. The first thing that stands out to me about Local Loaf is that they are handling the Covid situation like champs. They have online ordering, text you when your order is ready, and make it so that you don't even have to go into the store when you pick up. They are even offering grocery staples so that you don't have to deal with the Zoo that is Publix or Harris Teeter. The food here has all been top notch so far. I've had the "Chicken & the Egg" the "Fried Bologna" Sandwich and the "BLT." I have not had anything that did not blow me away yet, and I plan on continuing to work my way through the menu. The bacon is always crispy and flavorful (they use Neese's). The Fried Bologna had a very thick slice of bologna, an over easy egg, and bacon jam. The Chicken & The Egg is what they're known for. It is an awesome concoction. It is honestly pretty tough to even classify it as a sandwich, because it basically takes a fork and knife to take down. We have also been getting our deli meat, bread, and cheese here. The prices are on par with the local grocery stores and they offer a wide array of meats and cheeses (mostly Boar's Head). Everything that we've ordered has been quality, and I would much rather support a locally owned spot. All of their prices are very reasonable. Order some take out or get some of your grocery staples and support local. I plan on continuing to frequent this NoDa gem! read more

There was one person in line ahead of me. All I wanted was a side of chips. I love home made chips. I waited and waited. There were plenty of people working here but they put the slowest employee on the register. Well to be fair, the customer ahead of me was in no hurry either. Question after question while the employee slowly answered and kind of rolled her eyes at them. And when they finally decided, she slowly got what they wanted. Finally... someone else came to the counter and asked to help me. Yes! Because the other lady was still there. I ordered the chips to go in a bag. Of course, I didn't get a bag, but I wanted out of there. Were the chips worth the wait? Nope.. super salty and some were on the burnt side. My patience didn't pay off. read more

The good reviews are clearly paid for and the bad ones lack details. Absolutely disgusting; if you're a lover of seasonless food and a pretty plate this is your spot. Shrimp and grits- disgusting. French toast- as expected; if you mess this up you shouldn't be in the kitchen. Grits- disgusting. Bacon-overcooked. How? Local loaf made it possible. Mimosas- 7/10 - wasn't bad; but that's it. I'm genuinely concerned about everyone's taste buds that actually enjoy this. It's probably a medical condition. read more

Wanted to hit up a decent breakfast/lunch focused place before we left charlotte after our coffee at "The Hobbyist" (also stellar). Very unassuming place on the outside, local musicians were playing. Once inside, you order your food upfront, their menu is what I would consider very unique and visually appealing. After that, you sit down until they bring the food to you. Bonus points for not having to worry about dealing with a waiter or waitress and the subsequent tips required. Food was delicious, I decided to go for something a bit more unique to this place, the Spanish Migas. It was all extremely fresh, very dynamic and flavorful. Presentation was superb, and the service was great, especially considering there was no assigned, waiter or waitress. I will say there was a bit of dust floating around in my glass of water, as well as my wife's, but everything else was so superb that, I don't feel it's fair to deduct a star for that. Parking is fairly easy on the street, and free as well. read more

The food was amazing! I got a BYO Omelette and it didn't disappoint! I found it weird that the inside was very disorganized. No one was wiping down the tables so I saw a bunch of people going up to ask the girl to wipe them off. There's also just random boxes and cleaning supplies showcased on the shelves. It should be closed off someway so it's not an eye sore! There's also very limited seating even though there's plenty of room to add more chairs and tables. read more

Great spot! Loved breakfast! Can't wait to come visit my son again and try lunch menu!!

Enjoyed a candy coated sugar bomb yesterday noon and got to chatting with our lunch company about their lunch so on Sunday bun-day we're here! The chicken and egg for my lovely bride, biscuits and gravy for me. Her sandwich was a crazy good tender moist wad of chickens open-faced under Cheerwine sauce on a half-biscuit with a poached egg served on the other half on a board with a few too few hand-chipped potatoes. Biscuits and gravy could have used better planning on my part. Came on a board with two eggs up and no hash browns to gush into the yolks (proud of myself that I didn't end up wearing it.) Quite good but I think the rue got away from the cook on this one as the gravy as a bit brown. Thick cut firm bitey bacon Wanted a donut but no, nutz! Opted for a coffee cake muffin which was almost as good (hint: no donuts left but several muffins) and also came on a board. very very odd. read more

Located inside 7th Street Public Market, Local Loaf doesn't necessarily stand out, but the food will knock your socks off. The Chicken & The Egg: the BF's favorite sandwich in Charlotte. It's 1/2 open-faced chicken sandwich and half open-faced egg sandwich; SO CLEVER! Between the crispy fried chicken (which he declared his favorite EVER, a bold statement), the cheerwine sauce, the buttery biscuit and the perfectly cooked egg, it left him speechless for the entire breakfast. They are one of the few places that brings your food straight to your table, and service was extremely kind! We will definitely make this a repeat visit :) read more

Went and tried this place as a recommendation from a fellow Yelp Elite and boy was it delicious. I brought my family here and as you see from the photos we tried just about everything. When you initially look at the place it doesnt look like much but when we walked in we were greeted immediately and told to have a seat with menus. You do have to go up and order your own food which is no prob and the cashier was super nice and also made suggestions as well. They even have a nice lil market with all locally sourced items ranging from beer, jam/jelly, all the way to eggs. I personally had the Waffle and Egg. I decided to go with the blueberry and it was so good you didnt even need syrup for it. I also tried the other items of my family.. Will Definitely be back ! read more

Local Loaf food and service is wonderful. I always enjoy Thursday evenings at the farmers market and wine and dinner with friends.

I've been a customer of this joint since they were at 7th st market. The chicken and the egg was always the go to pick, among a few others. The last few times I visited their 35th st location, I've been hugely disappointed. Everything, from the sausage, egg and cheese muffin to the eggs benedict to the burger and fries, was too salty. I was really hoping this was an isolated event, but this happens regularly unfortunately. I hope the chef sees this message and understands that there's a difference between food that is well seasoned and food that is just too salty. Makes me question if the chef has ever tasted his own food before serving to customers. For perspective, this opinion is coming from someone who likes to generously season his food... Aside from the liberal use of salt, this hard-working, locally run business provides a great place for customers to hang out or to grab fresh breads / pastries, local beers and solid wines. I hope the food won't be as salty going forward because I would hate to count this place out as a food option! read more

Local loaf for the WINN, Y'all!! Now, if you live in Charlotte and have not yet been to Local Loaf, you should be ashamed of yourself! You are missing out on the BEST meal of yo' life--true story! They don't make gems like this anymore. Give it up to the man that is making this all happen, Adam. Now, Triple D hasn't made his way through this 'hood yet, but I'm sure that when the word gets out about Local Loaf, the lines will be out the door! You see, Local Loaf was a small vendor located at the 7th Street Public Market. Once the word got out how phuckin' delicious this place was, they had to move up to bigger and better things! Now, located in a residential neighborhood, Local Loaf is offering more than just food. They now offer a cute lil' beer and wine joint within their restaurant. Very exclusive if you ask me! Walkin' into the cute lil' restaurant, my friend and I were quickly greeted by Adam at the door. Now, I have to admit this man has a personality! I absolutely felt like family once I walked in. Adam went over the menu with us and left us to make our choice. My friend and I were so fascinated by the menu that we wish we could have ordered EVERYTHING! Well, let's be real, I did fly and drive thousands of miles just to try Local Loaf! I had to go hard or go home--and that's exactly what we did. We ordered the famous chicken and egg biscuit followed by the Local Loaf Burger, which was phuckin' delicious! I love how small the place is; I was able to see the handsome, Noah Robinson, the chief of Local Loaf, making my food the whole time. I didn't know what was sexier, watching my food being made or watching Noah. All the food was flavorful and enjoyable--perfectly seasoned and matched well together! The burger was not too heavy and didn't leave us feeling heavy after the meal. We were able to split both of the dishes in two and we left full! I wish I could have purchased some of their tasty jams as well; don't forget to check those out! The menu is bursting with creativity and will not disappoint! I am definitely coming back. This place is EVERYTHING! read more

My food was tasteless. I ordered the shrimp and grits and it came with so much water and greens I could barely see if I had any grits in my bowl. I poured the grit water in a bowl. I tried to eat it bc I paid $40 for this nasty meal. The kickin chicken needs to be kicked off the menu. It had way too much hot sauce and the chicken had no flavor by itself. The bread and pickles where nasty. Needless to say, I don't recommend and I've been wanting to try this place for months, only to be disappointed. Have a nice day. read more

I was quite surprised by the service, food, and ambiance at this restaurant. First, it's located in an urban neighborhood with limited on the street parking. Secondly, we were not greeted when we arrived and had to figure out how to order (up at the front desk) and we seated ourselves. Thirdly, the menu consisted of overpriced, unique food selections such as fries that didn't look like traditional fries. The BLT was disappointing to say the least. The ambiance was interesting to say the least as soliciting occurred on site. read more
