"Local Loaf is really that, local. No frills, limited decor, but in the coziest bungalow on a residential corner of NoDa. Local Loaf hosts farmers’ markets, wine dinners, and a pretty creative breakfast menu, expanding into the world of butternut squash tartines, pan con tomate, and an apple-coconut or dashi-mushroom grain bowl. The potatoes are crisped up and decked out in chili, scallions, and queso, like a whole meal themselves. Weekday breakfast is an option here too, just with a slightly smaller menu. (Note: Local Loaf will reopen for service on January 31)." - Kayleigh Ruller, Nikki Miller-Ka
