Illy coffee. Only open during the day, closing 'around five o'clock'. Licensed. On a recent visit, I had cheesy chicken pie, and my partner had pesto baked potato and butternut squash.

We came across The Loft this afternoon for a very late lunch. Two of us shared the Taster Platter,…read morewhich was delicious. It included, amongst others, a salmon quiche, cous-cous with feta, prunes wrapped in bacon, a thai curry wrap (the best bit)! I couldn't fault any of it and will definitely order that again, as well as the cheese scone with cream cheese and onion chutney. It went well with my glass of prosecco. The kids had sausage in ciabatta (which was OK) and a very light chocolate fudge cake. The decor is lovely, although our table was a little cramped. Good coffee. I will be recommending it to all.

The menu wasn't huge but it had enough to satisfy you. The service was amazing and the food top notch. If I stayed here longer I would have definitely come here a few more times I got something simple just some scones, clotted cream, and jelly. My friend's got a bigger breakfast and I was slightly jealous of them. But those scones were warm and delicious. I gobbled them up very fast. I've been home for weeks now and I am still thinking about those scones and the fresh jam they were served with! One of the workers, possibly the owner, had a lovely conversation with us about his love of San Francisco! Ironically, one of the girls I was with lives there. This shop was just lovely. It's not every day you get to spend time having a lovely conversation and good food to boot! If you are In Dorchester, stop in!
