Loaf Pottery & Coffee Shop in North Down

Went for first time last week with two friends for some lunch. Staff super friendly and welcoming. Their sausage rolls were amazing and served with side salad and ramekin of relish. Coffee good too! I will definitely be back and recommending to others. Next time I hope to get one of their wood fired pizzas because they look fab!!

We spent a pleasant hour here and enjoyed the tea,coffee and scones.The staff were very helpful and pleasant.It was good to see that dogs are welcome and there is space to sit outside

I love everything about this place. The building, the ethos, the staff, the pizzas, the little vegetable garden. We had my birthday celebration here and we all painted some pottery. We were really well looked after, the staff went the extra mile and it was a memorable fun occasion. We've been back since for pizza and it was delicious, especially on a nice sunny afternoon when you can eat outside. Full marks!

Called tonight to show support to my local business got the most amazing pizzas. I had arrived early for my order the girl I was talking to didn’t catch her name had a conversation with me all about the company and showed me the pottery she even managed to talk me into buying some lovely mugs right we sales women 🤣. really enjoyed the conversation will definitely be back

Social enterprise pottery for giving people with autism and learning difficulties work opportunities. Quite a nice selection of pieces. I bought 2 tealight holders made by one of the trainees

Absolutely beautiful, went for a meal tonight and the food is amazing. For starters we had a portion of cheesy dough balls, and a platter (sausage rolls, chorizo, parma ham, pasta, weaten bread) which was delicious. The pizzas for the main dish are beautiful, stone baked in an outside wood burning oven served on the plates which have been made in the pottery part! The two girls who served us, Lauren and Grace were just lovely and made the experience even nicer. It was a friends birthday and they came out with a cake singing happy birthday, lovely girls. Prices are great and it's byo (bring your own) and we did. Fantastic night and very highly recommended.

Great Friday Pizza night. Great atmosphere, pizza was lovely and light. We brought our own wine met some people and the staff were friendly and great. Special mention for a young lady Lauren who was lovely and talkative and friendly. 5🌟

The café is very small, but calm, relaxed and bright. I think from memory there are about 4 tables only. However there is outside if the weather allows. It has a limited menu of standards including soup ,scone , sausage roll, and oddly wood fired Pizza! The pizza looked vey good, albeit there are only 3 choices, and wasn't particularly cheap (as per usual!). The sausage roll was superb. It is an OK place, but limited in what it can offer. Definitely good for a small snack...

Unusual setting ....coffee was beautiful one of the best I’ve ever had. Menu very limited on Sundays sausage roll was good though a little salads with it would have been good. Service excellent and friendly.

Coffee four, scones two. I'd go back for the former, but not the latter, in what is a pleasant setting.

What an interesting wee cafe......we sat out the back in the sun and watched them cook the home made pizza’s in their wood burning pizza oven. They also have a lovely herb garden and apple orchard out the back.

Wee hidden gem , we were sitting in the crawfordsburn inn and saw this place so we went for a nosey! Glad we did . They do take away fresh pizza which we got . Apart from that you can BYO and sit in and do pottery too if you like . We will def be coming back here with a bottle . The staff were friendly and it’s got a nice different feel to it :-)

Decent coffee, but we will have to go back some time to try out the wood burning pizza oven. The little outdoor area at the back is a real suntrap on a sunny day too.

What a lovely place for afternoon tea. Delicious cakes and scones. Plus the added bonus of fantastic service and friendly staff. It was a great find not too far from Helen's Bay. They have an outdoor area and a woodfired pizza oven. We are looking forward to going back and trying a pizza.

Loaf is a social enterprise supporting people with learning difficulties and incorporates a cafe that doubles as a public outlet and provides for all those attending the various pottery courses. The cafe is basic but the menu extends to scones, soup and sausage rolls etc as well as having a fully functioning wood burning pizza oven. We just had coffee and scones served by a pleasant waiter. Not a place to go out of your way to get to but nevertheless a pleasant change from some of the more pretentious coffee shops around.

This is a fascinating new coffee house in Crawfordsburn Bangor. The scones are out of this world and the coffee also very good. All served by trainee staff who try very hard to please - and succeed in doing so. Delightful setting in the pretty...

Excellent craft shop. Able to watch craft being made. Some lovely items. Just opposite the Inn. Old worldly where people with disabilities are able / taught to be creative and make plates, dishes and pots and jugs.

We attempted to eat here as a family at the weekend. We were really looking forward to trying out what could have been "our new local." We were very impressed with how the whole place looked and found a nice seat for us all. It...

I like the initiative behind this cafe but unfortunately on my visit we were let down by slow service and poor food.We ordered a three cheese pizza which took 45minutes to be served and it wasn't even busy 4other people were the only other customers.When...

The pottery is quaint but the coffee shop and sweets in the back are perfect to go with the town...best of all are the staff who take engaging care of you.

Came here with my family for morning coffee .scones are amazing with jam and clotted cream .it was beautiful weather so we were able to avail of the outside area and let the kids play, We’ve been several times more .saysage rolls are utterly amazing...

Very nice new cafe, food is lovely freshly made and healthy, good enough value, will definitely be back as it is something different!

This is a welcoming gem of a place, where nothing is too much trouble for anyone. Great food, great coffees and teas, and I am told the new pizza oven will soon be operational, offering even more choice. Pottery classes are available and filling up...

Such a wee gem of a place. Great cake and coffee, with a lovely courtyard to sit in. We will be back!!

This new eaterie has great staff and very good food. The premises are a bit tight for space and require a bit of work to improve the ambiance. Prices are a bit on the high side bit all told this is a good development for...

I am so excited to have discovered this place in Crawfordsburn. I've been twice and both times it was excellent. Last time I sat outside in the sunny courtyard at the rear, munching homemade scones with clotted cream and jam. I thought I'd died and...
