Loafers Bread Co

I had to go to the nearby electronics repair shop, so my wife used the opportunity to go into Loafers. She emerged with a scone, a courtesy sample of some pumpkin-spice cake or muffin and a loaf of cherry-something challah bread. The first item I tasted was the pumpkin-spice cake & I really liked that, as did she. Good texture, not overly sweet & the pumpkin-spice flavor was obvious, but not overpowering. Later I had some of the scone, of which I've never been much of a scone fan. I see them as a biscuit with less shortening & some sweetness instead. It was decent for a scone. I will say that it was waaaay better than one that was served to us at a visit to the nearby Johnson Tea House along 228. Lastly the challah - not good IMO. It 's unlike any challah either of us grew up with.

I have been a loyal Loafers fan for over a decade, in Fox Chapel, then Wexford and now Cranberry. Of the 3, Wexford is the best. My visits to Cranberry location in late 2025 were often disappointing, specifically the shocking cost of everything! $13 for s quart of soup, $17 for a salad, and limited menu compared to the other locations. I was going to pickup a small salad today but will not as $16.99 for a salad??? Is it going to be bigger and better than a Panera for $10? Not going to take my chances. Sad how good things are going down in this economy.

So pretty good place for baked goods and food. My problem is with the incompetent children they have working there. Specifically go for sourdough bread and every time they say they can’t slice the damn bread!! I mean you put it in the machine it does all the work. I don’t want to nor do I have the time to try and slice fresh bread into nice equal slices

Used to come here as a child for the cinnamon swirl bread and just came back for a visit after being away for 12 years. Had to stop in for a loaf! As soon as I tasted it I was transported back to all those years ago. Love this place and will always stop in when I’m in town.

Great place for soup and fresh sandwiches. Their bread is wonderful. FYI moms of young children, they do not have grilled cheese. Love the tomato basil soup. Usually not crowded for seating after 1 PM.
