Loafers Bread Co.

Came here for lunch with some coworkers on a Friday. Everyone was raving about how good it was so I had pretty high expectations.
I went for their lunch special — pumpkin soup and the seasonal «harvest’ sandwich with turkey, spicy brown mustard, roasted red peppers and dill havarti cheese. It was on wheat bread which itself was really soft and VERY good (after I tasted it I know why people rave about their baked products). The sandwich itself was kind of a weird combination for something that was supposed to have autumn flavors in it. It was just OK, but I probably wont be getting that one again. The pumpkin soup was overwhelmingly SWEET. I almost took it back to the counter and asked for something else it was so sweet, but I powered through it. It tasted like a hot, liquid pumpkin pie — not savory enough at all. I was frankly a little grossed out by it and will definitely not be getting it again. My coworkers tried some other soups that looked good — a vegetable and potato that looked try-​worthy. For my one sandwich and the cup of soup with a drink it was about $ 13.00 so I thought it was also very pricey for a place that served everything in paper boats with plastic utensils.
I think I will definitely be going back for their baked goods and bread products, but next time I might skip lunch or try something else not on the specials menu.

Good local area spot. Great bread and sandwiches are delicious. Everything tastes very fresh and the smell alone could get me to stop in. Brewed tea on tap and whole grains for the health conscious. The second time I was in, they forgot the horseradish mayo on my sandwich, but the bread was so moist and meat and cheese so fresh that it didn’t even need any sauce.

As a BIG fan of the Wexford Loafers, I thought I would try this location one morning on my way out of town up I-​79. I got there mid-​morning (about 9) and saw that there was very little selection — probably 3 – 4 varieties. I asked, and was told that they did none of their own baking and that the delivery wasn’t there yet. «So you are telling me that this day-​old bread?» «Yes.» «Oh well, I guess I’ll get a loaf of the sunflower whole wheat.» The next part really bugged me and the more I think about it the more outrageous I think it is. She charged full price for the old bread! I was in a hurry and don’t often have an opportunity to get to Loafers, so I bought it anyhow. I now regret having bought it and encouraging them to continue this policy.
1) by 9:00, a bakery should have the day’s goods available
2) anything day-​old should not be sold at full price
I will NOT return to the Cranberry location and recommend that anyone else make the trip to Wexford to get the good stuff.

Loveeee this place! My parents buy bread from this joint every week, and I’m a solid fan. Honey wheat all the way, baby! *pumps fist* Their cinnamon loaf is also ridiculous though! Toast it and slather on some butter! Hashtag serious-​party-​in-​your-​mouth.
I haven’t had a chance to try their sammiches yet, but I will! I’ll update you guys when I do. I have tried their pound cakes, muffins, and scones though, which are all crazy yummy! I can’t wait for Fall. Their pumpkin flavored goods are beyond delish — pumpkin-​chocolate pound cake FTW!

The blueberry scones here incredible and the chocolate chip banana bread is my go-​to housewarming/​get well soon gift. You can’t go wrong with comfort food.
I also really enjoy the cherry apple challah and the hot cross buns (yes, that is a real thing).
The only reason Loafers is getting a four star rating is because they are closed on Sundays. This business practice makes me suspicious. Is Loafers cavorting with the likes of Chick Fil-​a somewhere while I’m trying to purchase a lemon blueberry pound cake?! I have needs and yes, sometimes these needs spill into a Sunday. Don’t make me go to Panera!
Regardless, the location is clean, the service is exceptional and the baked goods are tremendous.

My mother always told me, «the secret to a great sandwich is the the bread.» I love the fact that Loafers is a Bakery first and Sandwich Shop second. The breads are always fresh, unique and delicious — and you can pretty much guarantee that no matter what you order in between those two slices, it will taste good!
Their granola is also delicious and they usually have samples of it up front!
My only complaint however is the whole layout of the place, that and their soups always seem to be lacking. The store is dark and it seems there is never enough light coming in. If you have the choice, the one on 19 is brighter inside and a lot bigger.

I was really excited to find a fresh bread place since the Great Harvest in Mt. Lebanon closed. Enter Loafer’s which has no stores within the city, but rather some developed suburbs.
I stopped in to get a nice fresh loaf and was not greeted by the most welcoming staff. It was Thursday, right as they opened, and they were still selling bread from their Wednesday menu…
I got a pumpkin loaf (seasonal) which was good. I also got a loaf of the dakota which seems to still be fresh despite being day-​old.
Aside from the clear lack of freshness of the bread, and the terrible customer service, I may go back in the future.
