Charged me 30% more than menu price. Low quality pre-made sandwich. Over charged because of false information when using counter credit card machine. Dirty, sticky tables and truly lousy services. Atmosphere equal to the moon. If you want to waste your time and money and kill your appetite Baker's Loaf is the place to go. read more

This is such a cute little place. I always eat here when I have work training. Super cute little sandwich ideas on fresh breads.

The Baker's Loaf serves good food for lunch. Their lunch meats do not have harmful additives. Soups are tasty, and nor greasy or salty. I enjoy eating there. read more

Great cafe conveniently located across from the hospital, serve tasty coffee, sandwiches, soups and salads. Also have nice breakfast options (I've had the French toast and a breakfast wrap, both very good). Cheap prices, I got soup, salad, and cappuccino for under $10. The seating area is clean and pretty quiet, not a bad place to study or have a small meeting. Staff is very friendly, they always make a point to say thank you to their customers. I actually haven't had their deli meats (Boar's Head) but have heard good things from people who have! read more

The Baker's Loaf - Soup/salad combo - Delis Near Me - Johnstown, Pennsylvania

The Baker's Loaf is one of Johnstown's little gems, which is a full fledged bakery with some of the best tasting breads, pastries, bagels, cheesecakes and cookies you will ever try and it is a full service deli featuring Boar's Head meats and cheeses which are sliced to order. The aromas are tantalizing and if I could bottle the air and have it piped into my home, I would be as fat as a cow just thinking about this place. There are plenty of tables to sit down and have breakfast or lunch, but they do have a lot of traffic with it being located directly across the street from the only hospital in town. With my mom and brother being in and out of the hospital over the past few years I got to sample quite a few goodies. To start, their freshly made breads and rolls are the crown jewel of the sandwiches and when they fill the bread, they are not the least bit shy, layering chunky homemade chicken salad, piling high with shaved ham, turkey, pastrami, corned beef, roast beef, tuna, grilled chicken and a vast selection of cheeses and everything is made to order, so it can take a bit of time, but it is so well worth it. I tend to get stuck on one thing that I try and stick with it, but watching them make all of the different sandwiches helps to encourage you to move on to the next. Their bagels are as good as any I have had in NYC and toasted hot and slathered with jelly and cream cheese was the way I went, I love the breakfast wrap, filled with scrambled eggs, sliced ham, peppers, onions and Jack cheese, which comes with fresh fruit salad and juice. I never left empty handed, buying freshly baked muffins, cookies and pastries to share. They have so many choices for sandwiches, wraps and salads, my favorite breads are the French Parisian, the Italian forcaccia, rye and the sour dough botard, but the list goes on and on with many whole grain breads, marbled breads and pumpernickel. They make an awesome Reuben with very lean corned beef, I love the pastrami sandwich, which can be served warm with spicy mustard and Swiss cheese melting all through it, yum! My very favorites were the lean roast beef with bacon, lettuce tomato and horseradish on Italian bread and the prosciutto caprese which has layers of prosciutto ham, fresh mozzarella and tomato with vinaigrette dressing on an Italian bread. Oh and I can't forget to mention they make various muffalettas, including a grilled vegetarian one. They open at 6:00am, Monday through Friday, open at 8:00am on Saturday and close at 4:00pm, closed Sundays. This seemed to become our gathering place when we needed a break and our tummies were rumbling, I would venture to say that we tried almost everything on the menu, I do know that my brother was hooked on their Philly cheesesteak wrap and I still need to give that one a try. Don't forget to ask about their boxed lunches, a half sandwich with a side salad, fruit, pasta, drink, although they have various combinations, but it's a great deal and they do catering trays and gift baskets. Although the cafeteria food at the hospital is not too bad, this is a thousand times better and the cost is comparable, not to mention it is a breath of fresh air. read more

See all

As a "samich connoisseur ," this place has always caught my eye and I've always heard good things. My wife requested Baker's Loaf for her first meal after the birth of our son, next door at Conemaugh Memorial. I stopped in and placed a made-to-order request that was not on the menu with absolutely no issue! The sandwiches were made with quality "Boar's Head" meats and fresh homemade bread. We also had their signature cookies, which consisted of a crisp outside and just-right chewy inside with great texture and taste. My only observation (not critique) is that these are sandwiches-not subs/hoagies. They have a soft texture and not the crisp/crunchy roll of a sub. So if you like a great deal of toppings/dressings, I would recommend getting your sandwich pressed in order to avoid a sloppy messy. After not having a proper meal for over 24 hours, I cannot begin to explain how important it was to have a fresh and healthy option to nourish the mind, body, spirit. Baker's Loaf, and their fresh, homemade products are VERY appreciated! read more

I used to work in the area, so I ate here at least twice a week. Loved it. HOWEVER...... That was over 10 years ago and things have changed. I took my office assistant out to lunch for her birthday and took her to the Baker's loaf because I ranted and raved about how great their food was . Boy was I wrong. We ordered roast beef sandwiches. In the good old days they had a outstanding homemade horseradish sauce for the roast beef sandwiches. Now you get this pasty made in China garbage in a little packet that you squeeze on that's disgusting. There was only about half the amount of meat that used to be on the sandwiches; You used to get a deal pickle spear with it but not anymore... Overall the entire event was a big zero for me. The young lady at the counter wasn't very courteous like the old days. Overall was not impressed. I won't go back. read more

I didn't want to give 1 star, but had to select something. Today my department ordered lunch. Two of us ordered the Italian Combo. After finishing my first half of the sandwich I noticed mold on the other half. I asked my co-worker about his and he had already found mold on his, but he was stuck on a conference call. I called to report it because I am allergic to penicillin and understand the severity of this. When I called, the girl who answered tried to get the manager, but the manager would not come to the phone. New sandwiches were offered or a reimbursement, I requested the reimbursement. A few minutes later we get a call back that the restaurant wants the sandwiches back! I was on the phone and had to call back to inform them I didn't care if the company credit card got reimbursed, I feel they should be concerned about the health issue. Before I could finish with I am at work and don't have time to dig a moldy sandwich out of my trash and meet them with it, the person hung up on me! Bad customer service and horrible attention to detail in making sandwiches! read more

Visited this restaurant while on business. Probably the best breakfast I've had so far in Johnstown! I had the 3-egg omelet with bacon, pepper-jack cheese, spinach, mushrooms, onions, peppers. Got it with a side of hot sauce (either Louisiana or Chalula - it was served in a 2-oz serving cup.) which really pulled the dish together! Had the Chai Tea Latte and, if I may so boldly say, what's Starbucks compared to this!?! Will definitely come here again whenever I visit! read more

Just got hooked! A friend and I had training all day at the hospital and we stopped in here for a quick lunch, SO glad we did. Everything was so fresh and delicious. The sandwiches are huge and served on freshly baked bread, the roast beef was awesome and the staff was very friendly. Each order also comes with a bag of their flavored popcorn (which is made there) and the prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be coming back. read more

The Baker's Loaf - Deluxe roast beef sandwich - Delis Near Me - Johnstown, Pennsylvania

This place is awesome for lunch, soups and salads. Fresh breads, and they have bagels and other goodies too. They are not open for dinner! Parking is an issue! read more

Yummy local breakfast spot!--We were there for breakfast but has a great selection of Boars Head meats. Would definitely go back.

I love this place, both for the AMAZING breakfast sandwiches (served only till 11:00 a.m.) and for the lunch fare (which on my most recent trip included complimentary fresh-popped popcorn)! Go with Gobbles & Grains if you like turkey - the combination of cranberry sauce and cream cheese on soft 7 grain bread is divine! The gourmet cookies are worth the price, but I was disappointed with the dry, flavorless biscotti. read more

The Baker's Loaf is a wonderful little shop to get a great sandwich. Located right across the street from the hospital, it's a good alternative to cafeteria food if you are in the area, otherwise parking is an issue. The Baker's Loaf features Boar's Head meats and cheeses, which are the start of some great salads and sandwiches. During a recent visit I had the Roast Beef Deluxe (, Roast beef, bacon, horseradish, lettuce and tomatoes on Italian Bread) and my husband had a Chicken Club salad (Mixed greens, chicken strips, American cheese, bacon, croutons, mushrooms, onions, cucumbers). They were as good as they sound. As mentioned parking can be a problem, but if you are lucky you can park right out front. The only other issue was the girl behind the register, seem more interested in talking to everyone else around her then taking the order correctly. Oh, well good help is hard to find. If you ever find yourself in the area, I highly recommend The Baker's Loaf for a good sandwich. read more

Nothing about this place stands out to me. Very busy & slow service at lunch - not open for dinner. Parking is very tricky. Cute atmosphere though. The food is honestly ok...I've never had anything I DIDNT like but nothing I've loved. Prices are a bit above average for what you can get in the area. In my opinion, I'd rather eat at the hospital cafeteria (very good and underrated). read more

Super nice place with good food and very nice employees. Very convenient to the hospital as well Try a "Gob" ( had to be explained to me as I am not a local!!) they are excellent. read more

I've had 2 sandwiches, and then once I realized they have bagels - I've had a dozen or so so far! Everything is great! Don't know how I've never been here in the last 6 years (other than I hate the roads and parking in the 8th Ward! P.S. Only other thing I could ask for is salt bagels - but I've never seen them anywhere in this area. My 2 favorite foods (from Jersey) - pork roll and salt bagels (both horrible for you) - nowhere to be found! read more

Great deli - with expansive selection of boar's head meats and cheeses, popcorn!, and sweet treats. My husband enjoyed the French toast - prepared with fresh baked, thick slices of sourdough bread and eggs and crispy bacon. I enjoyed a breakfast sandwich. read more

Great food but has bankers hours. If you are lucky enough to catch them open then it is amazing food. The grilled Hawaiian Maple sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had in my life.... And I travel a lot. Order one at your own risk... Very addicting and you will be mad when you show up and it is closed. Lol. (Happened to me 4 times...really 4 times) read more

Food is good. But we went there recently at 5:22 (they close at 6) and they wouldn't slice us meat because they'd already cleaned the slicers. I used to work in a deli, it takes less than five minutes to clean a slicer. This is ridiculous read more

While in town visiting family, I was feeling nostalgic and decided to stop by the Baker's Loaf for a late morning breakfast (breakfast is served until 11). Shhhh, don't tell mom but, when I was running late in the mornings and knew I was going to be late for school, I would stop at the Baker's Loaf for breakfast. An extra half an hour really wouldn't make a difference if I was already late, right? :) Good thing I was a stellar student. When we arrived, the restaurant looked a bit different than I had remembered it. Looks like they may have done some remodeling over the last 14 years. (It's been awhile.) I sat at an empty table and was presented with the breakfast menu. The menu is small but has all of the basics-egg dishes, french toast, pancakes and waffles. The prices are very reasonable! I believe everything is under $6! (No wonder I could afford to eat here as a high school student). I opted for the two slices of french toast with a meat option-bacon. I also ordered the one waffle for my 2 year old. While we waited for our food, I sipped on a hot chocolate made with skim milk. The food arrived quickly and we dug right in. The waffle was adorably shaped like a flower. The French Toast was made of thick cut bread. My only suggestion is that they allow the thick bread to sit in the batter a little longer in order to really soak up the delicious flavors. The middle of the French Toast was a little dry. Overall, the Baker's Loaf did not disappoint. I was able to momentarily relive my past and get a great start to my day. I even snagged a bag of popcorn and some quality Boar's Head meats for later in the day. read more

I came here on the suggestion of other yelpers and I am really glad that I did. I had the lite roast beef sandwich and it was delicious. The aroma of the bakery was hipnotizing. I highly recommend this place for lunch. read more

Huge delicious sandwiches!!! They use super fresh deli meat, I've never had a bad experience here. Beautiful atmosphere and delicious assortments of popcorn. The only problem are the hours, they need to stay open for dinner!!! read more

Always a great lunch! Their soups are delicious and the sandwiches can't be beat! I usually treat myself to a biscotti for later. The staff is courteous and the place is clean. And now they also sell flavored popcorn. Yum! read more

Oh, what a disappointment! Ordered a gift basket to be delivered to a neighbor for Christmas. Basket never arrived. Our calls to this deli to find out why were hung up on!!! I have never been treated with such disrespect. Asked to speak to the owner, she rudely referred to our office as "your f....... office!!" I will never order from here again. They don't deserve my business. read more

Love this place! Fantastic food and baked goods. Even good selection of deli items. And you can buy gourmet dog treats! Which was an even bigger surprise. read more

After reading all of these "rave" reviews....I am starting to think maybe I just had an unlucky experience at the Baker's Loaf. I was not impressed with the service at all....the girls behind the counter seemed uninterested and I felt as if I was not welcome there at all. Nobody even cracked a smile!!! And the food? Although it smelled good and LOOKED good, it tasted HORRIBLE!! I had ordered two sandwiches and both were VERY dry with just a smidge of condiments. I couldn't even finish mine and my boyfriend didn't want to finish his either. For the price of these sandwiches, one would think they wouldn't be so stingy with the mayo. I won't be going back...it's a ripoff and frankly, I'd rather eat a death dog from Sheetz. read more
