A hidden gem! Managed to stumble across the cafe after searching for top breakfast’s in the IOW but Loaph didn’t come up in any searches sadly. Saw the great reviews and what an amazing birthday breakfast to have! The food didn’t just look amazing but tasted even better and the members of staff were super friendly. If we come back to the IOW this is the only place we’ll go to again for food! Highly recommend this place!

Incredible food! You need to visit this outstanding brunch spot, you will not be disappointed. Such a great independent restaurant in a lovely village setting, this is an absolute gem. My black coffee was strong, smooth and piping hot. I had the full breakfast, delicious chorizo sausage, crispy smoked bacon, two perfectly poached eggs with runny yolk, petite hash brown bites, homemade baked beans, sourdough toast, all decorated with feta and pickled red onion. It was really delicious, I will definitely be returning and recommending to all my friends and family. 5 stars from me, well done ladies!

Visited for the first time on holiday in May, we were so impressed. We all came away talking about the breakfast still weeks after, one of the best breakfasts we have ever eaten. So much to choose from! Will definitely be returning

Probably the best breakfast / brunch I have ever eaten. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxing and cosy and the interiors were stunning. I loved the open kitchen as it was really nice being able to watch the chef plate up the food so beautifully, I could have sat watching her all day. Loaph will certainly be a regular brunch spot for me.

We came in here for a breakfast/brunch and it was really good. We tried the chocolate iced chai, and it was SO TASTY. I'm still craving it even now. I had the egg hash (don't remember the exact name), but it was so delicious! Also got the smoky beans on toast which was good as well. Ordered a chorizo sausage on the side and honestly that sausage was amazing. The staff were friendly and it was a quiet little place you should definitely visit for brunch. Also, dog friendly!
