    This is one of my favorite places to eat in charlotte hands down. Their food is absolutely delicious. Good quality and fresh. The staff is super friendly and they have house baked goods, wine, beer, and other drinks to chose from even if you’re not eating. The shrimp and grits is the best, shrimp and grits are one of my favorite meals to get anywhere I go, and this is top 2. Please go and eat it right now.

    I have driven by Local Loaf a few times in Charlotte NC and finally decided to try! Was so cute inside. There is no waitress service so you just order at the front and they bring your food to you. The place was super clean. They have wine by the bottle to purchase and they also had a great wine list by the glass. I had the French Sauvignon Blanc. The menu was amazing! It was so hard picking stuff but we had the sausage, egg and cheese sandwich, an order of fries, the fig and Brie toast and the bubble & squeak boxty benny but I substituted the salmon for prosciutto. Everything was so unbelievable. The fries were so crispy and well seasoned. The sandwich was huge and was delicious. I loved my Benny! Perfectly cooked and the fig and Brie combo was a perfect combo. I can’t wait to go back and try other things.

    Omg... Awesome neighborhood breakfast joint! All locally sourced produce. Plus they make their own, bread baked goods, cookies, and make it all fresh. I got there when the cookies came out of the oven. O boy... Next time I'm taking them home to bake. Wonderful experience for me... P. S The pancake is crispy around the edges. This guy has been making pancakes since he was 7...there good!

    The food, service and atmosphere was all so perfect! Being here felt like being at home, but better! These aren’t cooks, but amazing chefs! We will definitely be visiting this establishment again!

    Nice little place. Relaxed environment for brunch. It was nice instead of the hustle bussle of some places. Good was good. I tried the pancakes. They were a little sweet for me, but yummy with the apples inside. Will go again to try something different. Took a bite of my friend's steak and harissa potatos....packed full of flavor! Very yummy...the lebna was a delightful balance with the harissa.

    I’m not one to leave bad reviews, but this place needs some serious TLC. We called twice before coming in and received no response, so we decided to eat in. That was our biggest mistake. The floors are dirty, most tables are sticky, and the furniture is very wobbly and flimsy. We waited for our food for over 30 minutes, had to go back to the cashier to ask for more water, and never received the salt and pepper we asked for. The staff is very friendly and the food is absolutely delicious, but the severe understaffing and the dirtiness of the restaurant overshadowed the great meal we all had. I do recommend this delicious food, but I suggest you order it to go (and hope they’ll pick up the phone to get your order).

    WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!! Yes, wait times are long, so if you’re looking for a quick in and out, this might not be the place for you. But these aren’t big batch meals, they’re made individually as orders come in - which is what makes it so incredibly delicious! If you’re looking for some of the tastiest, highest quality food, I can’t more highly recommend the Local Loaf. My meal (the Spanish migas) legitimately was some of the best food I’ve ever had in Charlotte. We will be back!!!!!

    I'm planning on moving to Charlotte in the coming months and Local Loaf is just up the street from my office. I had the Chicken & the Egg, and I say this without any hesitation, that was the best piece of chicken I've ever had in my life. I understand that's an odd thing to say, but it was so perfectly seasoned, so perfectly cooked, and so perfectly crispy, it was just...perfect. on top of that my wife and I split an oatmeal cream pie for the nostalgia and it's so much better than I could've imagined. Oh, and I wish I caught her name but the girl at the counter with the piercings was so friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back when I'm living there. I'm spreading the word to all my coworkers already there.

    Love coming here. I’ve had their chorizo burrito and cuban sandwich, all really delicious. It has a comforting vibe, you can sit inside or outside. I’ll continue to return to try more items.

    We ordered from them several times & good is really good. My husband & I had to write this review today cause we pre ordered online & even if the chef was sick his wife made it a mission to honor the order early this morning after Thanksgiving. Kudos to you guys!!!! We’ll always come back ..much respect for your commitment to your trade, biz and life.

    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.

    So good! First time in and we’ll def be back. We had the Patatas Bravas with one over easy egg and the Spanish Omelette. Would recommend to get there early. Seats are limited. They do have outdoor seating available, but if it’s raining like today, best to get there early.

    Wow, delicious breakfast!!! My husband had the Spanish migas. It had unique flavors that perfectly complimented eachother and made for a delicious mouth watering experience. I ordered the breakfast burrito and replaced the sweet potatoes with regular potatoes. It was so flavorful and delicious too! The kids' breakfasts were cooked perfectly and the sausage was so flavorful. Even though the sausage had a little spice they kept eating it. I love this place and will definitely come back when I pass through again. Wish I took pictures before it was half eaten. They were beautifully presented. The service was friendly and great. Come here and enjoy!!!

    Holy moly this place is great. I had the Spanish omelet which was a bit more eggy than I've had before but it was very very good. I tried the boxty browns which are cabbage and potatoes and I would say to definitely try those because they were great. The best thing of the whole breakfast was the hot sauce. I recommend asking for it because it is amazing. I ate it on everything. I didn't care much for the coffee not because it was bad but because it was fairly light and I like a dark roast. I think I could eat here for every meal and never be disappointed.

    Amazing food. One of the very best brunch menus in Charlotte. While there is dining inside, ambiance is lacking a bit. Fun to eat at the picnic tables outside or to take home.

  • 5/5 Rebekah C. 2 years ago on Google
    Fan-freaking-Tastic food. No real table service which is pretty nice honestly, and is probably what makes such delicious food so much more affordable. 25 minute wait, but we were forewarned and it was completely worth it. Great staff too!!!! If i ever go back to the area, it'll definitely be a stop for brunch again. Hands down.👏👏👏👏

    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.

    Local Loaf is a must try neighborhood favorite! Awesome people and the food is always delicious, we’ve been coming for years! FRESH, local and unique! You can also find all sorts of interesting beverages and snacks outside of regular menu items!

  • 5/5 Amanda T. 2 years ago on Google
    Best shrimp and grits I’ve had in years (coming from a former New Orleanian). We also had butternut squash tartine and beet salad - Both were so good and were made with with fresh, healthy ingredients. Overall: Food was timely, beer was delicious, neighborhood was cool, music was good, and the team was very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!!

👍👍 Skeptical. I visited this place because of a research on brunch places in downtown. Ended here because of the Google rating. Almost Worth it! The Italian sausage hash was really good. But my spouse ordered an avocado toast and it lacked flavor. Also, the coffee was legit; really good! Also ordere...
