Delicious soup and bread. We are so lucky so have such great restaurants downtown and this is a welcome addition!
Just the way we all remember it. I kinda got emotional while I was there. I had the German mushroom soup. In my head I was expecting a creamy soup. It’s broth based. Picture French onion soup with mushrooms & croutons. Delish. Anadama bread! Thick slices. And a 1/2 of a BLT. PERFECTION. I also bought a loaf of anadama to go with it
My family and I went to The Loaf and Ladle today for the first time and it did not disappoint. The fresh bread was delicious. The staff was polite and attentive. All the food we got was amazing. The space is great, lots of indoor seating and even during a lunch rush the service was fantastic. The restaurant was clean and very well redone from the previous space. We will definitely be back again to try more yummy bread and to try some soups! Well done Ulery family.

The food is exactly as remembered. It is known for the best beef chili, terrific soups, and wonderful bread. Specific items include the hearty and herb-forward chicken and rice soup, the German mushroom soup which is a broth-based delight, and the celebrated Anadama bread, available in thick slices or by the loaf. The menu also features a perfect BLT, excellent sweets like chocolate cake, and beloved molasses cookies.
