A heartfelt thanks to the staff at Loaf. Today was our first visit, which was a busy Saturday morning. Someone had taken the table we had waited for which initially put us off; my son is autistic so the waiting was upsettling him and it frustrated us that someone felt inclined to que jump. The staff were excellent in recognising the situation and helping us quickly find another table and making us feel welcome. I'm glad that we didn't leave as we had a lovely brunch; the deli sandwiches, cakes and coffee were delicious ? Great atmosphere and staff were so friendly. Lots of people coming to pick up their weekend bread orders and the staff knew each and every person. It's lovely to see a thriving business with top notch customer service. I'll definitely be looking at the bread home deliveries too. I'll certainly be back, thank you again ?

Although I frequent their wonderful cafe?extremely friendly staff?most days, today was my second baking course at the Loaf. I attended a festive baking course in December and an introduction to sourdough today. Excellent tutors, great fun and lots of wonderful bread items to take home. I would highly recommend The Loaf, not only for their artisan bread, wonderful cafe, but also their baking courses.

We've had the Loaf products before because they used to be stocked in our village shop - we developed quite the taste for the Crich Square!We visited the Loaf in Crich today for the first time, and were so impressed! We purchased our usual Crich Squares, and a fruit loaf too that looked gorgeous. We even got to sample a lovely almond pastry type treat that they had on the counter.The lady that served us was so kind and friendly; she really was lovely.Will definitely be back! Just wish it was a bit closer to us!

We went in most days during our stay in crich. Loaf has a fantastic selection of bread and pastries. Friendly service too. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Great little spot, very popular with locals and visitors alike. The French country sourdough was especially delicious, much lighter than a traditional sourdough but great both fresh and as toast. Coffee was also good, as we're the sweet treats!

A friend and I did the full day bread making course last week. The whole day was excellent. The instruction was great, we learnt so much, and we all came away having made four different types of bread to take home. It was a fun and relaxed atmosphere, and we were very well looked after with drinks and lunch. We both enjoyed the day enormously and will do another course there.

I highly recommend this fabulous café/bakery. Wonderful service, dog-friendly and an excellent range of baked goods (both sweet and savoury) and a great selection of breads to take out. Their coffee is delicious too! ??

We bought almond croisants, gingerbread, a flapjack, bacon savoury and a sausage roll here on 2 visits while staying nearby last week. All excellent. Highly recommended.

The lady at the counter seemed not to see us - after having a good chat with her previous customers. Tremendous regulars I should think, spend a good deal no doubt.Then the youth who came out to assist in this mini rush served the bread with his bare hands, which isn't really what you look for in a place.Our order was taken from behind the ones on view. Later the reason why transpired - half the loaf was black as ebony. If you're selling small loaves for over £3, surely to god you shouldn't pass off the burned ones to the customer.

A friend and I have just been on a fabulous no nonsense Italian bread course at Loaf. We couldn't have been more impressed. Keith is the sort of teacher everyone hopes for! He was fun , practical and confidence boosting. The bread came out looking the real deal. Amazing refreshments and food at break. Don't hesitate to get yourself booked on a session here you won't regret it. Loads of different bread courses to choose from. Thanks again to all ?

Loaf is a great bakery with a small cafe, They bake their own great range of breads, we love their sourdough, along with a lovely range of savouries and cakes. We love their Bakewell tarts (best ever tasted) and cinnamon rolls so fresh and delicious, great with a cuppa.

The food is nice enough, but the takeaway packaging is seriously unsustainable. Each individual item placed in a cardboard box which will be immediately thrown away!
