“Lovely little place, I had the vegan bagel which was super tasty and fresh, and an oat milk latte which was top tier, the customer service was great and I loved the local atmosphere and all the little dogs in there, I picked a good place to stop on my journey, well worth it! Big car park right by it where you can park in too if you’re just grabbing a take away like me.”

I am so glad that this place exists in Ringwood! It has such a fresh energy. Coffee beans 5 stars. Food 5 stars. The store feeling 5 stars. Staff 100 stars. It is such a nice place to have a quiet moment and do some work (there is free strong wifi) or meet up with a friend. I cannot wait to make this my regular place when I am down here. A beautiful and lovely small business that needs more recognition. The food is exceptional and homemade and one of the big selling points for me.

I love the casual, friendly atmosphere where food & coffee are affordable & great quality. Delicious homebaked cakes, savoury pastries, & the best sausage rolls in town are a real treat. Gluten-free options are also available. Frankie & Teresa are always welcoming & friendly. I love the colourful side salads & the variety of ciabatta fillings available. Mums, solos & couples enjoy meeting up, pet lovers are clearly at home bringing their dogs along & enjoy the attention they get. Love the warm atmosphere created by the community who are regulars.

Excellent coffee and a range of lunchtime snacks and cakes. Most importantly, dogs are welcome. The staff and owners always greet you will and smile and a cuddle for your dog.

I visited with my daughter yesterday....this is my new favourite coffee shop! It's small but very cute. We both had French toast with berries and maple syrup, it was lovely. Lovely staff, super friendly. Dog friendly too 🐾 Will definitely return.

“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 come back here.”

“The food is unreal. It is so delicious, there are no words for it. We loved a unique menu and being able to have something different for breakfast. The cake selection was also amazing and the whole meal was outstanding. The service is also very professional. Check the opening times, as per August 2024 they are open 4 times a week. The parking is 3 min walk away in a village car park. The whole village is wonderful. We did not reserve a table but it was almost full, so it is advisable to book it in advance. The place is kids friendly.”

“A lush coffee shop/ brunch venue. Well worth it due to the cozy vibe. Perfect for a beach stroll and chill. Went back to have more breakfast and again it was amazing. Get the creamy mushrooms and add bacon! Careful as the toilet may not flush as efficiently as required. A poo-flush-poo approach may be needed.”

“Wow, what an absolute gem! Gorgeous interior with old beams. Fantastic coffee. Breakfast was amazing. They took some of my bacon back for extra crisping without making me feel awekward in any way for asking. Just the nicest staff and atmosphere. The breakfast punched way above it's price tag. Sausages weren't to my taste, bit too bready. I'm a fussy one tho, so that's probably on me. Definitely will come again.”

“Best coffee for miles, in a county where it’s tricky to find a decent flat white. Coffee is advertised as ‘Aussie style’. At least four types of hot chocolate, made properly. Dogs and kids welcomed. Nice staff. Outdoor and in-barn seating”
