Loaf - Durham

We're traveling in the Research Triangle cities from AL and came across Loaf while talking a walk in downtown. The bakery actually just closed for the day but when the owner saw us at the door, he came out to greet me and my husband, gave us 2 blueberry galettes for free and welcomed us back in the future. We were so appreciative of his kindness and the pasty was absolutely delicious. If you're ever in downtown Durham, this is the place to go!

Wow! We picked up cheese pepper bread, squash croissant, tomato tart, cinnamon bun, salted caramel bun, walnut maple bar....I'm blown away as we are eating them at home in southern VA. I think our favorite is the salted caramel bun. I've had pastries all over as I own a cafe.....this is the best I have had ...ever.

The butter croissants are devine! They are crunchy on the outside, but so soft and moist on the inside, with just the right amount buttery goodness.The bakery is also very consistent in performance. I highly recommendIt's the best croissant I've had in North America.

Amazing place! ? The molasses cookie and the butter croassaint make a great combo! The prices and the customer service are also a delight! A+! ?

OH MY GOSH YES.The hot cross bun are you kidding me?This hot cross bun is the thing you didn't know you needed in your life. Go get one immediately.
