The Good Loaf

“Very relaxed atmosphere with attentive staff and superb coffee.”

Paul Hedges★★★★★

A hidden gem, not much signage outside, and an entranceway at the corner of an unpromising building. There are a few steps outside and a few steps to the first floor. Then you find a open space which you don't expect. There are plenty of tables, a small lounge area, a bustling kitchen area and bakery with a selection of loaves and rolls to buy.

Yes, it is open. Head inside, up the stairs, past the yellow mellow cooking oils stand and behold The Good Loaf. It is a bakery on a BIG scale.

It’s big, but lacks the vibrancy of a neighbourhood cafe. To avoid disappointment, order online and pickup.

Absolutely lovely food, and just a little bit different from the normal cafe menu. It's definitely worth a visit. And the hot chocolate is pretty impressive too!
