Frommer's Review
A handsome view of the river and colorful art are the only distractions from the superb baked goods and other delicious fare served up with charm and cheer at the cafeteria-style Loaf and Ladle. It's sometimes hard to get a grasp on the ever-evolving menu, which is constantly updated on chalkboards as the day progresses. As one soup is drained by appreciative diners (several are usually offered at any given time), another follows on its heels; bowls come with hefty slabs of home-baked bread. Among the other baked goods, the cinnamon buns are especially fine. Everything is made from scratch, and vegetarian entrees are also available. This place has been a town mainstay for more than 3 decades, so it's doing something right.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
