The Good Yard

Delicious & nutritious! A quick, healthy lunch option. Their hot boxes are very good value and their fresh juices make for a good afternoon hit. p.s. the music playlist is always on point too (I Shazam a new song every time I go in!). G, Anton & Fabio, are friendly faces whose menu recommendations go down a treat!

The Good Yard at Liverpool Street is located in the historic Arcade there. It's slightly difficult to find if you don't know exactly where you're going, but worth hunting it down. I met a friend for breakfast, I had a cappuccino and a croissant. Cappuccino was very very good. Perhaps one of the best in the City. My croissant was okay, I'm not convinced it was fresh. We sat outside at the rather austere stool and plywood setup. Not overly comfortable, especially when compared to the other Al fresco offerings in the Arcade. Next to no spaces inside to sit except a small ledge. Overall, a good visit for breakfast, the coffee I would definitely return for however not sure on the pastry selection.

The number one rule for finding a good coffee is to search for the hipsters and The Good Yard is no exception! Staffed exclusively by a team of bearded baristas the coffee is one of the better ones I've had in London although you do pay a little more than the standard price. They also had a fantastic array of smoothies and little treats to choose from which also looked great. Would definitely recommend giving The Good Yard a go!
