Nestled in the heart of Shefford, Bedfordshire, The Loft Cafe welcomes patrons under new management, led by the delightful manageress Hazal. From the moment we stepped in, her warm welcome set the tone for a delightful dining experience.
Operating from 9am to 4pm on most weekdays, with extended hours on weekends, the cafe offers an all-day breakfast menu. Whether you prefer a smaller, lighter Classic Breakfast or a hearty Breakfast Plate, featuring options like the indulgent Full English or the tantalising Mediterranean breakfast, there's something to suit every palate.
With newly refurbished interiors boasting stylish decor, including a striking Loft Sign mounted on the wall, and the option of outdoor seating for observing Shefford High Street's hustle and bustle, the ambiance is inviting and cozy.
The menu is extensive yet reasonably priced, featuring homemade dishes like Shepherd's pie, grilled chicken, and lamb chops, alongside an array of salads, pasta dishes, sandwiches, and more. Homemade cakes and desserts add a sweet touch to the offerings.
During my visit, I opted for Classic Breakfast #4 paired with a cappuccino. The food arrived promptly, piping hot, and cooked to perfection. The black pudding was succulent, the locally sourced bacon crispy yet lean, and the egg flawlessly cooked. Each bite was a testament to the cafe's commitment to quality ingredients and meticulous preparation.
In addition to a large upstairs seating area, The Loft boasts an excellent selection of barista coffees, soft drinks, juices, smoothies, and milkshakes, all offered at exceptional value.
But what truly sets The Loft apart is its exceptional staff, who go above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. Their friendliness and attentiveness make every visit a pleasure.
In conclusion, The Loft Cafe in Shefford is a hidden gem, offering delicious fare, welcoming ambiance, and impeccable service. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or a leisurely coffee, it's well worth a visit.
