Reviews

Great little spot to relax or get some work done! Servers were incredibly nice and the atmosphere is great. Coffee could be a hit or a miss but better than most places in the area. Bagel bites are delicious!

We had a cute coffee date on Valentines Day at this local cafe. Loved the red velvet cupcake - just the right size and not too sweet. Comfy seating and nice location. Will be back again!

Such a cute cafe. Highly recommend their focaccia and latte The service is usually very fast, their coffee is excellent, and they always have a bonus menu with unique flavours. There is only pastries that change, but I have loved all the ones I’ve gotten.

Great, knowledgeable staff, fantastic coffee (I haven’t tried the food yet) and a really good atmosphere. Street parking out front, clean facilities, a great place to hang out with a friend. Take the laptop and work, or for a casual business meeting. A really well run place!

What a Gem of a Café in this dreamy town that time has forgotten! Amazing staff, friendly, smiling and very helpful with places of iterest to look around.. The food is so good, their Croissant Breakfast sandwich with ham, bacon, egg and cheese was out of this world! Their Lattés and Cappuccinos are excellent. The cookies are not too sugary. The ambience is chic, rustic and trendy, with positive attributes all around. We went there for brunch for 2 days in a row. Highly recommended.

Great coffee, snacks look good but sadly I'm on a diet. Friendly staff. But very expensive compared to other independent coffee shops in the region.

I thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon respite from shopping and wandering the lovely town of Stratford. The ambience was lovely, the seating comfortable, the service impeccable and the cappuccino was delicious. I mistakenly left behind a purchase and the team at The Livery Yard could not have been more helpful and cooperative in seeing that it was returned to me. Can't wait to come back.

Liesa and the team at The Livery Yard are absolutely wonderful. The cafe is brightly lit and offers up delicious hot or cold bevies, house-made treats and a comfy place to relax, or meet with friends. Live music, art pop ups, poetry too! Lots happening in the way of local art - check their events!
