Our first visit on a weekday was light so there was no pressure in choosing a sample. I never know how many samples are considered *acceptable* but we tried an ample amount and the server was extremely nice and patient. I went with pistachio crema 2 days in a row because it was that good. It reminded me of the real gelato I've tried in Italy, where you can really taste the nuttiness. The last day I had espresso and tiramisu. All the samples I tried were good in any case. By the 3rd day, almost everyone there recognized us. They threw in a nice surprise by bringing out some Dubai strawberry and chocolate on the house! Wonderful service. Easy 5 stars.

I also ordered the Lavender Honey Macchiato, and it was absolutely delicious. The combination of honey, lavender, and coffee was amazing.

It wasn't just grabbing a pastry and a drink... it felt like an experience. Everything was fresh, inviting, and beautifully displayed. I can't wait to come back and try more pastries and drinks. This place is definitely worth a visit!

The staff was friendly, professional, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The cookies were excellent fresh, rich, and flavorful without being overwhelming. The dirty sodas were just right as well, perfectly balanced and really well made. Prices are a little on the higher side, but honestly, it's worth it for the quality and overall experience. If you enjoy sweets or are a fan of Crumbl Cookies, I would definitely recommend giving Dirty Dough a try. In my opinion, it's a better version with more personality and better flavor. we'll definitely be back!! 10/10

Pretty much anything you get is going to be indulgent (and likely shareable.) It's a small storefront that is always clean. It takes a while for what you order to be created because they do exactly that...create it...each item is individually prepared, so even if it appears not crowded, it's likely to take a little while before you get what you ordered. I've been in a few times and I've always enjoyed what I've selected. I wonder if the staff is happy working there though as it seems like a lot of work and they never seem to be particularly happy to be there.

This Japanese-inspired bakery offers SCV visitors some incredible, one-of-a-kind beverages, breads and pastries that are out of this world! Simple concept: deliver quality, homemade offerings that are fresh, free of additives and preservatives and are downright delicious. On the most recent visit, my girlfriend and I enjoyed some speciality matcha iced beverages, including the Iced Lavender Latte and an Iced Peanut Butter Latte. The premium matcha powder with your choice of milk, blended with a wonderfully cloud-like cream that will make your tastebuds dance with delight. In addition to these beverages, we couldn't resist a couple of the homemade bakery items, the French Toast and Matcha Croissant. Both were fluffy, delicious and absolutely perfect for sharing. The staff at this small, boutique shop in a retail-heavy area of downtown Newhall are super friendly, efficient, and experts at drink and food preparation. The prices are more than fair given the premium product quality. Prepare to wait in line that is typically stretched outside the small space, but trust me, it's worth it. Rotational and Seasonal Drink and Bakery Items will convince you to visit The Loaf regularly. A few bar seats available and plenty of free parking in an adjacent garage. I love this place so much, I wish I could keep it a secret.

The Loaf is it. Just have one bite of that salted butter roll, and if you're like me, you be transported back to those wonderful underground train station cafes dotting Tokyo and across Japan. I just love how the taste melts in your mouth, and yet stays light and fluffy. The Matcha Mochi An-pan pastry with its matcha flavored bun filled with red bean and mochi is another classic flavor combination. Warm, moist, and so delicious. There are so many flavors that The Loaf is worth the multiple visits!
