Loaf

Yummy sourdough breads and chocolate croissants!

I realized after a recent trip that I've never reviewed Loaf even tho I love the place. Probably my favorite bakery in a town with several excellent bakeries. Really reasonably prices (by artisanal bakery standards; it's still definitely a treat) and excellent quality pastries. Their savory options are rustic and straight forward - a little salt, a little cheese, generally perfect pastry dough. Their sweets are another lever; special shout-outs to their absolutely decadent Nanaimo bar and their almond croissant, which is filled with one of the best almond pastes I've tasted (and I've tasted a lot - they're my favorite pastry)

Their Market Loaf bread is a classic, great European artisan bread!!! It has a wonderful, flavor - just a little bit from the natural yeast - not quite a sour dough When we go to the Loaf, our German friends have us buy extra loaves for them. Everyone loves the flavor and crust
