Loaf Kitchen Bar

Amazing food, quickly served, with a range of hot and cold drinks at fairly reasonable prices. Massive portions, and delicious home cooked chips. Nice cosy feel, with outside area too. Will be happy to visit again!

Top Quality Service!

I went with my brother for lunch and it was great to see it so busy - a good sign, I opted for a nice scampi and chips which was rather tasty, scampi cooked to perfection and shout out to the chips as they were top tier.

My brother went for the BBQ Melt and it looked cracking, he really enjoyed the quick turnaround on the meal and we will be back soon for sure

We went with no reservation and got a table under the staircase. We ordered our food but the order got lost or something and the table that arrived after us got our food. We had to wait way longer than expected and all we got were the apologies of the waitress. The tapas were good. The main dishes were a bit disappointing. The chips were soggy, the avocado and chicken salad had chicken covered in cream rather that fried, as shown in the pictures. The cake was good. Although they ran out of chocolate fudge and chocolate fondant cakes.

The food was delicious. Be aware they are incredibly strict on their kitchen times and will not make exceptions. We really wanted an English breakfast but came into the cafe and were seated less than 8 minutes past their breakfast time (11.38). Before we sat down we asked if we could please have a breakfast even though we were 8 minutes late. The manager/owner I'm not sure, a woman, said she couldn't make an exception which we understood because we were 8 minutes after their close time of 11.00. however it was because we struggled to find parking. It's very difficult to find parking. I also have mobility issues so I couldn't walk fast. We would have made it there by 11 if we didn't struggle to find parking and didn't have to park 2 blocks away and walk. The food we did end up eating was delicious though. They also do not offer sweet potato fries and their reason was because everything is made fresh not frozen but I'm sure you can make sweet potato fries fresh. Anyway I have eaten there several times now and the food is always good so I will continue to go back.

Disappointing visit. Called in for breakfast on my way back home. Place was not busy. Parked on street with 1 hour parking. Service was so slow that after 40 minutes I had to enquire how much longer our food was going to be, told that the order hadn't been put through to the kitchen yet. That would have left 20 minutes for them to cook it and us to eat it, so cancelled the food and paid for the drinks we'd had. I would have liked to have tried the food, but alas that was not to be. Maybe next time I'm over this way I'll try again.

I was in Ystradgynlais today doing some shopping in town so I decided to try this kitchen & Bar for a change to see what the food and drink was like there. I had the Giant Breakfast with a Caramel Mocha I must say the food, drink and service did not disappoint in all the places I've been to for a Full-English Breakfast in Ystradgynlais this has got to be the best place to go especially for their giant one. If anyone is looking for the best place to go foe Breakfast or any other food in Ystradgynlais this is a place I do highly recommend the service there from the waiting staff throughout are very welcoming, friendly and so patient when it comes to the part where they give customers time to think about what they would like to order.

Asides from hot and cold drinks they also had a great range of draught beers when I do go there next I will be having something different to eat, but also this time a pint of whatever draught beer I decide to go with my meal. Da iawn I chi Loaf Kitchen & Bar team!
