Local Loaf

NoDa · sandwiches, new american

Local Loaf has been on East 35th Street since 2013, serving gourmet sandwiches, brunch and entrees that its own site describes as chef-inspired takes on classic dishes. Chef Adam Spears runs the kitchen. The signature is hand-breaded chicken with poached eggs and house sauces.

The Hobbyist

Villa Heights · coffee, cocktails, beer

The Hobbyist is a coffee bar by day and a beer, wine and cocktail bar by night on North Davidson Street in NoDa. Owners Bryson and Julie Woodside run hand-crafted coffee and tea beside 14 draft beers, wine by the glass and custom cocktails. The food is North Carolina artisan pastries rather than a kitchen.

The Suffolk Punch

Sedgefield · beer, new american

Suffolk Punch is a brewery, taphouse, restaurant and coffee bar in one building on Griffith Street in South End, near the New Bern light rail station and the Rail Trail. It runs themed trivia nights and takes private event bookings. There are two other rooms, at SouthPark and at Birkdale Commons in Huntersville.

The Suffolk Punch ... SouthPark

SouthPark

The SouthPark room opens at 7:30am on weekdays and runs as a coffee bar before it is a taproom, which the South End original does not do. It keeps its own hours.

Wooden Robot Brewery

South End · beer

Wooden Robot calls itself an urban farmhouse brewery and says it blends art and science to make its beer. The South End room at 1440 S Tryon is the original taproom and it runs a kitchen and a coffee bar alongside the beer, opening at 8 a.m. on weekdays. A second Charlotte room, The Chamber in NoDa, holds the wood-aging program and a rooftop bar.
