The Yard — Restaurant in England

Really nice and spacious venue selling a variety of interesting gifts as well as coffee and cake.

When we arrived our entrance was blocked by a large dog. The lady working there seemed annoyed that we didn't want the dog to approach us...

She called it back but then it approached again and she again called it back and then blamed us for being too loud and making it want to approach us... 🤔

Unfortunately I found the staff to be unwelcoming and they seemed annoyed by my questions.

The coffee here had been highly recommended to me and the cakes looked nice (if rather small) - they are all made on the premises I believe - which I love. However sadly I decided to leave, I didn't feel like buying anything due to the unfriendly attitude... I didn't feel comfortable or welcome. My mum commented that she felt as if she trespassing 🤣

A shame.

Note that the only food they serve other than cakes is Welsh Rarebit which sounds nice but sadly is made with ultra...

In The Yard we found what we were looking for... a very comfortable, introvert-friendly quiet coffee shop that could offer us a good coffee and a dessert that's not overly sugary, but absolutely full of love and sweetness. The familiar atmosphere of the clean and spacious place is amazing and modest, we really appreciated the silence and energy, uncontaminated by mainstream loud pop music or rude strangers. The service was more than perfect, we felt respected and free to cut our own private space inside. I highly recommend this place for calm people that want to relax after lunch, alone or with their own beloved people, just drinking a hot drink with something sweet or spending more time reading or working remotely for a few minutes. If we'll come back to Salisbury, we'll definitely...

What a fabulous find: great place; great atmosphere; delicious cakes and really good coffee. Best bit is that it is very dog friendly - the ‘house dog’ Sadie is a delightful, friendly creature and got in really well with us. Loved sharing the sofa with her.

I saw the 3 star review by Hafsa Bobat below. She came in complaining her baby was ‘leaking everywhere’, was rude to the staff and then snuck up to the upper floor to change her baby on one of the cafe tables. Disgusting! Then she left without buying anything. Totally rude.

Personally I would have no hesitation - I very strongly recommending this place. Just don’t bother if you...
