About us

We are a family-owned, independent venue and we're passionate about creating a friendly place where you can have a great meal, a great coffee and a good ol' catch up!

Meet at The Yard

Owned and operated by the lovely team at Silver Oak Coffee, a favourite of Ely locals, The Yard is made up of 5 converted shipping containers with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating in our covered courtyard (plus our new Nordic pods!)

 

We cater for everyone; whether you want to escape the office and sit down with your laptop and a delicious coffee, meet friends for a couple of beers or cocktails or bring the whole family for breakfast through to dinner.

​

Four-legged family members are always welcome too and we have plenty of bike parking for those passing through!​

​

The Yard was awarded as ‘Cambridgeshire’s Best Independent Café’ in 2024 and has recently been recognised in Tripadvisor’s® Travellers’ Choice® Awards for 2024
