The Loop is in the old Nellie's location, and what an improvement! I mean seriously, I used to love Nellie's...but I adore The Loop.
I immediately noticed how bright and inviting the space was. We got a little table in the nook and had a great server named Kelly. She was alone on shift (and she was BUSY), but still managed to serve us quickly and with a cheerful smile! Our coffees were always full and the food arrived fresh and hot.
I chose the waffle and added a side of duck. Duck...mmmmmmmduckygoodness...Since I'm intolerant to chicken and rarely eat it anymore, it is always a blessing when restaurants have duck on the menu! The waffle was light and crisp on the outside, and the inside was very tender. Best waffle I've had in a long time for sure.
My friend had the veggie Benny, which was served on falafel with a touch of mango salsa and duck-fat hash browns. So delicious!!
I also noticed that they had a shelf full of board games. Spending some time eating and having coffee over a game of Scrabble would be so delightful in the great little spot. Be sure to check it out!
