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.

Odes should be written about Loaf’s devotion to butter. As a Montreal, Canada expat, Loaf has been my French bakery oasis for the past 11 years. Everything they make is perfection and—no exaggeration intended, only serious facts here—my croissant-shaped heart and 2nd belly roll (a tribute to Loaf’s pain aux raisins) would wither without them!

Flavorful bakery with a southern twist. Vegetarian options and a mix of fresh pastries. That’s a flatbread w tomatoes, sweet onion & zucchini.

Nanaimo Bars in Durham, NC?!! Who could ask for more? If you have never tried these, run, drive, pull up in your car, bring a friend or buy some to share. John (pictured here) and the other members of the team were so nice, helpful and welcoming. If you ever made these Canadian treats, you know that it is labor intensive but worth it. My friend had the almond croissant and it was delicious. I highly recommend this local Durham bakery. Thank you Loaf, you made our day!

Best croissants in Durham by leaps and bounds. Buttery, moist inside, flaky delicate outside. And by croissant I mean the crescent shaped original 🥐, everything else is a croissant. Great patisserie selection and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Nice variety of breads. Unfortunately they stop making burger buns over the "winter". Dinged one star because of location, pay parking, and twice I have gone there on a day they are supposed to be open and it is mysteriously closed.
