Loaf in Hart

Come here regularly since our first visit, for a latte and a biscuit. never have to wait for more than a few seconds for a cup of joe.

Fab cafe for beautiful cakes, breads, pastries and sweet treats. The sandwiches are made to order, as well as some premade. Staff are helpful. Good selection of drinks and healthier options available. Can get quite full as there isn't lots of seating.

Loaf offers a good selection of bread and cakes, but their tea isn't up to the same standard and they've now stopped you from using the drinks loyalty card if you want tea.

If you are looking for excellent coffee, good fresh food coupled with excellent service, please visit Loaf in Fleet! I cannot recommend enough! I have nothing negative to say only, it’s a shame that it is not open on a Sunday as it would be a great place to relax on an easy Sunday morning.

I came in at 2.20 pm hoping to find a sandwhich as I had brought the pre made ones in Farnham loaf which are great. Couldn’t see any on display but I saw lots of sandwich filling options on the counter display, next to three made up sandwiches. Great I thought I can get a fresh one but sadly not the case. I was told that the three pre made ones could be purchased as a toastie and they were not serving sandwiches to order anymore despite lots of fillings on display and a shop full of bread? The three pre-made ones all contained cheese which I can’t eat so I left empty handed and went to Greggs to get my late lunch there. I like to support independents but feel the service here was very poor.

Great coffee, great sandwiches and great services. Brilliant! Excellent selection of handcrafted speciality breads.

I decided to get a croissant from here, as I remember it being rather good the last time I came. I sat down to eat it and it was so dry. I spoke to a member of staff who was very lovely and told me to choose something else. I didn’t really want anything sweet and struggled to decide. I eventually chose a small pastel de nata (custard tart) and even though it was more expensive, she said I didn’t need to pay the difference due to it being their fault that the croissant was dry. Unfortunately the tart was far too sweet and I just ate the outside pastry. I’ve eaten many of these tarts, as well as croissants in my life and I know how they should taste. The staff are very nice here but if I’m honest, most of the cakes on display looked extremely dry. I don’t think I will bother coming again.

Visit Loaf at least once a week, always served with a smile by the team! Paige does an amazing job on remembering my orders everytime I visit. The cafe is always clean, always so busy... make it bigger!! It is such a good cafe and such a good team behind the counter that this should be bigger and should be recognised as the best cafe in fleet.

I’ll be honest, great service is from the staff not from the quality of the product and that’s the loaf! Being greeted as soon as you walk in for lunch by a friendly waitress (Paige I think her name was) with ‘hey there, it’s a ham salad roll? Isn’t it?’ And I replied yes and she proceeded to create my order from memory from a previous visit. Safe to say I will be returning very soon 😊

Excellent coffee and sandwiches. Delicious cakes too. They’ll pile on the calories, but who cares when you’re enjoying it? It really is small, though.

Stopped in Fleet for a bit of lunch and came across this place. Limited seating but found a table near the door. Ordered 2 sandwiches and drinks and was served by a delightful young lady from Cape Town. Was recommended the gammon and mustard mayo on wholewheat. It was wonderful. Listen, the prices aren’t cheap but the size and quality of the sandwich ensures it is value for money!! Not sure why there are one and two star reviews on here as the staff are all friendly and efficient, and the place certainly looked clean to me. Anyway, when we are down again we will visit Loaf. Happy Christmas to all 🎅

The waitress got my order wrong. Then actually rolled her eyes at me when I asked if could I could have my original order. Wow. Just lost 2 customers. Avoid.

Coffee and service is great. Cakes sublime. I honestly don’t think the floor has been cleaned or swept since the day it opened. It’s horrid, I constantly say I won’t visit again due to the floor but the cakes keep tempting me.

Worst cappuccino in my life. Learn how to make cappuccino an the work in a coffee. Everyone in is unpolite, place smell bad, is experience very bad.

Its querky and original. The service is good and staff friendly. It has a good atmosphere as it feels like you are in a library due to the book wallpaper. They sale tasty fresh bread and interesting blends of bread. Its quite a cosy coffee house so not really ideal for pushchairs to be brought in. I would recomemd it if you are ever in Fleet.

I popped in here while I waited for my car to be serviced. I ordered a cappuccino and bakewell slice. Both were good. It was quite early for the sweet cake, so I ate half and ordered a croissant instead. It was actually better than expected - I'm a bit of a croissant snob! I also bought a salted caramel brownie and managed two little tastes of it. It was very dry but the caramel tasted nice.

Amazing coffee, good fresh sandwiches , delicious pastries And excellent staff , always friendly and they remember their customers

An excellent cake, moist and delicious, in keeping with all their bakes. Good coffee to go with it, particularly the ‘flat whites’. Friendly, efficient service.

Loaf is first and foremost a bakery. It has a terrific range of specialty breads that come out on specific days each week, and also a wide range of cakes and slices and pastries that also vary depending on your day of visit. These are locally baked by a small local firm and are a real treasure. I can recommend the Spelt and Honey bread immensely, and the dark rye loaf. The cafe does made-to-order sandwiches, and also pastries, cheese straws and other pastry goods which are nicely oven warmed. The coffee is well made

If they were this would be a daily pitstop given its choice of cakes! It's a venue that puts the big chains to shame. The only drawback is its hot food menu is limited.

Great wholemeal rolls and delicious bread I always have a ham salad roll and coffee , the coffee is great , and lovely staff , can get very busy at lunch time

Freshly made sandwiches in fresh baked rolls along with a good cup of coffee and nice cake selection (great Eccles cakes!). Staff always happy and friendly. The only reason this is a 4 is that i always feel slightly cramped as they’ve so many tables for a small space and recently always seem to run out of sandwich items (mayonnaise, mustard, tomatoes) by lunchtime despite there being a Waitrose and Sainsbury’s both within a 3 min walk of them!

Had a quick coffee here this morning whilst moving house. Pleasant ambiance.First ever visit. Son enjoyed flat white, but do not have cream available for black coffee which was a shame.

Lovely staff, tasty soups especially butternut squash & sweet potato. Fresh bread and buns what more can you ask yum 😋

Popped into fleet saturday and stopped for a coffee in loaf. The place was full but we found a table for three and our coffee and a cake came over very quickly. The coffee was great and hot which i find hard to get in most places , very friendly amd welcoming and the lemon muffin was delicious. I also left with a loaf of bread which was recommended to me by the staff and it was as good as promised.

Visited on way to Gatwick Had the best flat white coffee and duo of cakes. Great friendly service Will be back to buy some bread and maybe a cake or two lol yum

My wife and I have been in for coffee this morning and was welcomed by a very friendly lady with blonde hair.we had such a wonderful chat with her that she convinced us to come back for lunch.

Visited here before shopping on a busy Saturday morning. It was packed. Seating is incredibly squashed together. Had two coffees and a sausage sandwich. Which were absolutely delicious. Best coffee I have had in a long time. Decor was pretty! Love the books wallpaper.

I went in there today for a coffee and cake, I've enjoyed my previous visits but I had a different experience today. Usually the girls in there are very efficient and knowledgable, however there appears to be a new member of staff. Once she eventually...

I visited the Downing Street shop in Farnham. Not only was I appalled by a general lack of attention by the staff the food was over priced and the seating ridiculously limited. We were only a family of 4 but nearly filled the seating area. Which was also unclean. We were disappointed further by the very bitter coffee. Will not be returning. A tall blonde woman also barged past my daughter as we headed up the stairs I believe she works here but didn't seem to be dressed like the other staff. She appeared to be in a rush. Poor

I popped in here while waiting for my car to be serviced; they have an attractive selection of cakes and pastries and the coffee tastes great too. I ordered a lemon muffin and a soya latte and both were very good. I would recommend this place.

Great service, very welcoming and fantastic selection of breads and sweet pastries as well as sandwiches and little treats for kids. Delicious coffees too.

Lovely choice of cakes - something a little different from usual - and delicious coffees. Service usually very good. Only criticism is that it's sometimes a bit short on space.

Delightful staff, whether serving customers eating in the café or purchasing take away goods. Very friendly and helpful.

Mi primera elección para un café en la flota. Tiene el ambiente de una tienda de pan y el aspecto de una librería. Pero grandes ventanas y situado a la entrada del centro de hart hace buena para observar a la gente y reunirse con amigos. El único inconveniente es que es una pequeña zona de estar. El café es bueno, pero bastante variedad limitada de alimentos y pasteles. La tienda también vende pan y puedes pedir tus bebidas y comida en el mismo contador. Si hay una cola puede tomar un tiempo para que nos sirvieran y sin luego normalmente en otro lugar.

Why go to Starbucks or Costa in Fleet when there's somewhere as good as this in the middle of town. Friendly staff. Good quality coffee and pastries. Good wifi.

This is a great place to go for great coffee, and the food is well prepared with fab flavour and taste. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable on food and coffee. Great anytime of the day from breakfast to afternoon tea. Highly recommended first class in all departments.

I'm a regular customer at LOAF, the staff are knowledgeable and friendly, the coffee is tasty and the bread and cakes are fantastic.. the only problem is that it's so, so hot inside the shop! I'm not sure I'll be returning on a sunny day again, may I suggest to close the blinds?

A tiny establishment, probably best kept secret for this reason. Good wholesome snacks and delicious coffee. Staff are friendly and helpful.

As a local girl I'd definitely recommend this as a go to place. Much nicer than Starbucks or costa. Nice cakes locally made and the bread is rather lovely. Only down side is there are no loos, not helpful for someone with little people. You have to use the main loos on the other side of the shopping centre. Avoid bringing your pushchair if you can there's only enough room for a couple!

You can make your own sandwiches to order. Staff are sweet. Coffee is dreadful though and this is primarily a coffee shop, so it shouldn't be. Keep it simple and serve coffee the Italian/european way (I'm not even Italian) and it will be a hit.

Get em whilst they're hot because their small stock of savouries never last. But if you can get them they are lush!!Lovely bread and a good range of cakes and choccie treats. Shame there are no toilet facilities, but the same goes for all the cafes in the hart centre! Just not ideal when you have an emergency baby situation!!

Not sure if this can be the same Loaf when I read some of the reviews! Though I know it is. My experience is at the Godalming branch. The coffee was dreadful. Awful. We had two takeaway lattes which were tepid and tasteless. The sandwiches are ok, although a little bland - not bad value though. The pastries looked to die for. Looks are deceptive, sadly. Dry and tasteless. All very disappointing

Popped in to buy a hedgehog loaf as I've sampled their bread before and it's always been delicious. Unfortunately the service was incredibly slow. I waited behind two separate couples while 2 baristas served for approximately 20 minutes. Another couple walked in after me, waited about 5 minutes and left. It wasn't obvious where any of us were supposed to queue either. One of the baristas seemed to be new, which was fine, except she appeared to be left to her own devices on the till while her mentor busied herself tidying crockery. I have yet to try Loaf for their coffee but the service I experienced on this trip makes me disinclined to return for a beverage.

Loaf serves an excellent coffee and their pastries are well worth a mention. I am usually here for late lunch/early tea and have sampled their lovely bacon rolls but now go for the Apricot Danish as an excellent accompaniment to their coffee, just the ticket for the afternoon.

Great coffee shop with indy sort of atmosphere. We were there at the end of the day and they gave us two impressive artisan loafs of bread which were going spare. Should be categorised under coffee shops in trip advisor as their ranking is artificially low with it categorised as a restaurant. It should be near the top of the coffee shops category for Fleet, not half way down the restaurants.

Good selection of pastry and cakes early on in the day but by 2pm much less variety on offer. Cakes are good quality and coffee is good.

Great coffee (echoing an earlier comment - the decaf is excellent).Their cakes are out of this world, but I go there for their sausage rolls, which taste like sausage rolls did when I was a kids, bags of flavour (not tasting like a bag of salt, as you get in so many places these days)... and the pasty is gorgeous. I'm a big pasty fan, not easily pleased.I do have one criticism though. The lack of places to sit. A couple of times I've popped in for a snack and been really pissed of when someone walks in, sits at the last remaining table before their friend joins them, and then orders.

Visited at 1.00pm on a cold weekday to be advised that yet again they had run out of soup (by midday this time)... had a very nice baton with good amount of filling together with coffee.. Only complaint is the shortage of seating and the fact that people are allowed to spend an inordinate amount of time on their laptop working without buying anything after their initial order when new customer are unable to get a seat.

I must confess my go to for a light bite and coffee in Fleet was normally Starbucks and would often walk past this quaint little coffee shop. But I'm so glad I tried Loaf and I was pleasantly surprised. A very tasty roll and delicious coffee, it's got a lovely relaxing feel and friendly staff.

Popped in mid shop. Good cakes, great coffee, not drowned in milk or served in a bucket. Friendly staff and service. Will be back.

Title pretty much says it... Decaf coffee is often insipid and bitter, but here it was deeply flavoursome. Better than the famous chains' caffeinated coffee, in my view. My mother, who was with me, thought the same. Friendly service too. Will be back.

Nice laid back coffee shop in the Hart Shopping Centre. The baristas may not be as polished as some other coffee shops but very friendly and pleasant. Well made coffee and wide selection of cakes, pastries and sandwiches. Very nice pastries - Portuguese custard tart was very good as were the Danish pastries. A little pricey but makes a welcome change from the chain coffee shops.

Popped in for a sandwich and drink. Eat in prices are substantially more - wouldn't normally mind but the service was not particularly good on this visit. Plenty of waitresses but still had to clear our own table (was not even busy when we went), all too busy chatting away.No cutlery or napkins even offered, had to get these ourselves also (I should have charged them a service charge!). Food was ok but over £4 for simple plain sandwich with some crisps plonked on a plate is not exactly value for money. The whole place is also particularly chilly being next to the shopping centre main entrance, there is a door but they choose not to use it resulting in us sitting freezing for the duration. Did leave feeling rather ripped off and disappointed and probably would stick to one of the many other similar places available on the high street....

The smoothie tasted of powder. When I returned it to the counter and said this, they said that it came out of a sachet. I was not offered a refund. I have not returned since, and would not think of going again.

Popped in here for lunch. There aren't many tables so we were lucky to snag one. Had a really yummy sandwich, the bread was super fresh (a rare thing in the uk) and a Turkish tart for sweets which was really nice treat. Coffee was strong but a bit watery. My wife gets coffee here a bit and says it's usually nice. The pastries are great as is the bread. A good choice for a light lunch, if you can get a table...

food is lovely in here, only downside is its size, always busy and sometimes haven't been able to get in and rarely if more than 2 or us as only 1 table big enough for a group. Coffee is good and cake selection is also great. Bread to take home is also very good!

Loaf is a nice little corner cafe in the centre of Fleet, very cute and cosy. The cakes always look delicious, and I can confirm that the brownie tastes amazing! I didn't stay to eat or drink during my visit but I did get a coconut smoothie to go, recommended by the server who I asked for advice and it was very good. Everything is fresh and good value for money, I'd definitely recommend Loaf as a place for a quick drink and snack.

Popped in here for lunch. I try to support local and independent businesses and I am pleased that I do for Loaf. Lovely place, lovely food. Would be good to have a few more seats but aside from that, really nice.

Lovely place shame it's not a bit bigger as seating can be difficult. Cannot fault their lovely cakes. Victoria sponge muffin is a favourite. I also buy a corn loaf lovely and fresh. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

good shop love it . all product are very good and yummy. love to go there every weekend.special bread

I frequently visit Loaf for coffee, normally not being able to resist one of their gorgeous pastries! Their rolls and baguettes are amazingly tasty too. Definitely recommended.

Cakes are definitely cheaper than the other coffee shop chains which are located nearby to Loaf. Great you can take away the cakes too, instead of eating in. It is small and cramped which is a shame, but still worth going to. No toilets.

Very little seating, tables are too close together, and an awkward shape. Struggled to actually sit down.Service was average and not particularly fast. Due to under staffing, before lunch time rush, every table full up.

Delicious cakes too. You may need to fight for a table - there isn't much room! Delicious cakes and snacks will keep your energy levels up.

I am not a tea or coffee drinker but like a hot chocolate. I thought that I'd try Loaf. I was disappointed - my hot chocolate was 50% froth and the server was grudging in sorting that out for me.

Situated just at the entrance of the Hart Centre this cafe is one of a chain of two (the other is in Farnham.) I believe Loaf started out as a bakery in Farnham and then expanded into being a cafe - the range of bread available for sale supports this. The cafe is at one end of the horse shoe shaped Hart Centre and is easily accesible. There is street parking nearby - alternatively the Hart Centre has a multi storey car park accessed from behind all the shops (Albert Street.) The seating area is small and so there is not much privacy - but large windows make it light and airy. There are no loos - you need to use the ones at the far end of the Hart Centre (first floor.) We had one coffee, a sugar ring donut and a croissant. Total cost approx £5.Donut was a tad rubbery. everything else was ok. Wifi was not working when we were there but the staff were unaware and when I mentioned it could not advise when it would be working again. I have previously had takeaway bread from here and would highly recommend that - the actual cafe.....slightly less inpressive - there are better cafes in Fleet.

Service - Friendliness: Good, staff are happy and chatty.Service - Speed/Attentiveness: excellent! Bring coffee to your table.Food - First Visual Impression: great.Food - Taste and Quality: excellent, the sandwiches and rolls are really good, filled with fresh fillings made on site.Environment/Cleanliness: nice and tidy always clean, a bit small and a struggle to find a table sometimes..Value: great value for money.Other (wifi, Parking etc): free wifi, parking in the hart centre.Overall Summary: a great little coffee shop, well worth a visit and their coffee is lovely!

Friendly service, lovely cakes, good drinks selection. The hot chocolate is amazing and the eat in experience is always pleasant. The tables are quite crammed in though so not much room for wheelchairs or buggies.

Great little coffee shop, great bacon sandwich in gorgeous bread with a great coffee. Very friendly staff and great place to watch the world go by, if only it was a little bigger.

Freshly made bread that is soft but lasts for days unless you eat it all. Lots of different cakes and pastries again fresh, nicely presented and so good!

I've been here twice and the service fails to improve. The service is dreadfully slow. I picked a chelsea bun. Hand my money and away I go. Nope. Served, ask for a Chelsea Bun, blank face as to what's a Chelsea bun, my assistant asks another, then gets into discussion about coffee. Eventually continues my service and places bun in bag. Given money then another slow service to get change. It appears they are constantly advertising for staff. What they first need is a manager who knows what he or she is doing then train the staff and retain them.Rather like my school report, could do better, but the loaf would be, could do a lot better.

It is so nice to have fresh break and cakes from a proper bakers - a little tight on space - but you can always take away!

Although small, this is well worth a visit. The coffee and cakes are delicious. Very popular with the locals - always a good sign.

Having tasted the EXCELLENT coffee and sampled the DELICIOUS bakery I wish there was more space. Although relatively new to the area this coffee shop has already been discovered by locals. It is tiny, but worth hovering outside to grab a table when one is free. Hopefully they will soon move into larger premises......By the way, they also sell bread, hand made chocolates and buns for taking away! Yum!
