Phone: (919) 797-1254
If you’re a grab-and-go breakfast person, downtown’s Loaf Bakery is your stop for flaky, crisp woodfired croissants and scones for breakfast, or grab a savory flatbread and legendary pecan chocolate chip cookie any time of day. Their $4 flatbreads are stocked with fresh veggies for lunch. In addition to their brick-and-mortar location, they're a fan favorite vendor at the Durham Farmers' Market each week.

The best croissant in the triangle!
This place rocks! You have to try it!
The staff is super friendly! But watch out, they're closed on Monday and Tuesday. -
Amazing pastries with a great vibe. The shop has a limit of 3 people in the store at a time. All the things i brought tasted fresh and so good. While you shop you can catch a glimpse of people making fresh breads in the back which was so cool. They have a wide selection and i will definitely go again!

Hole in the wall bakery with a wonderful sourdough base throughout all of their breads. They have mostly medium sized loaves with different mixins and have a few specialty breads like a rich milk bread or challah. There's a modest but consistent pastry selection as well. I could snack on their fresh sourdough with nothing but cold cheese and I'd be happy. They supply bread for a few local grocers like the Durham Co-Op as well. The owner is always there and always cheerful! Best bread in town!

Anytime i'm a pedestrian in downtown durham, I stop by this place. Everything is made with seasonal fruits. The workers are nice. The only downfall is no seating indoors or outdoors. I am a black coffee drinker, and this is the perfect accompaniment. I have eaten tarts, croissants, gourgéres, and some savory pastry with potato from here. All were delicious.

Loaf bakery is simply exceptional! They are a bit pricier than other local bakeries, but their breads are always perfect and the flavors, craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in their French pastries truly creates an *experience* worth enjoying!
I can’t recommend loaf highly enough.
