Generally good small and intimate space. Only four tables and a bench inside. Coffee creamy and tasty but a bit weak and underdone in my humble view. Not sufficiently Melbourne like. Staff pleasant. Breads and cakes looked good although a small range only as the place itself is small. Brisk business. Has potential to grow. It's a 3.5 from me.

The local Loafer Bread has existed in its current location for some years. The breads baked are tasty and although the café is small, I've eaten lunch there on a few occasions. I have never managed to order one of their popular pies as these always sell out very quickly. All bread, pastries etc that I have ordered to eat in the cafe have been tasty and the same can be said for bakery purchases to take home. Staff are always pleasant and friendly and service is fast and efficient if eating in. Despite its small size, there are always papers and magazines to read whilst enjoying a coffee and/or a light meal or snack.

More great coffee, in North Fitzroy - only 4 tables inside and a small window bench - it can get crowded. Go for the coffee and the pastries and of course the bead

Came here on a weekend day just after lunch before they close. We ordered the croissant with home made jam, and a egg baguette sandwich. Both of which are divine. The bread crunch and the flavour of the egg and mayo is moorish and can’t be stopped.
