The Yard

Freshly opened when Alexandra Palace Railway Station was refurbished mid-2014, The Yard is a very welcome addition to the area, not just for commuters, but for locals too.
Serving home-cooked seasonal food, including salads, sandwiches and a range of delicious cakes, the family run café is an intimate place to enjoy lunch, meet a friend for a coffee or to grab a hot drink and snack for the train journey. Open in time for the first train of the day and into the evening, there's always a warm welcome from the friendly staff. You can also pick up one of the home-made preserves to enjoy at home - I'm already addicted to their lemon marmalade - as well as deli items and cut flowers.

Pleasant staff and reasonably-priced drinks with some very nice food (sandwiches, cakes, etc.) in an historic and rather attractive setting. Limited seating although this usually isn't in high demand – just a pity it closes so early in the evening.

Lovely little Caffe inside Alexandra park station, ideal for refreshment or warm ups after a fantastic run in the gorgeus Alexandra park. Friendly cosy environment with really good cakes and pastries. Love the coffe here ... Sick a good aroma to it.. well done girls!! Keep up the good work.!!.

Great food and coffee, amazing service, beautiful decor based on plants and flowers, fair prices and v. clean!

Quite possible the worst coffee I’ve ever had. Burnt, so very burnt. Bitter, dark, watery, sad. This was meant to be an oat flat white:

Have come here a few times for the passionfruit smoothie and it’s delicious every single time! Freshly made. Friendly staff and a cozy space.

Fab little cafe that does delicious coffee and vegan pain au chocolat. Would love to see even more vegan options one day :)

This morning I was served by a very welcoming smiley lady! She was lovely! I couldn’t have left without tipping her !!

I must also mention that the decor of the place and the taste of the coffee was amazing! They also had a variety of alternative milks which was great! The blueberry muffin was so yum!
