Swan yard coffee & Kitchen

"I've visited several times and the coffee is always very good. Staff are always really friendly and provide great service. It's always busy and I'm sure this a reflection of how good it is. Today I went for breakfast and chose to have avocado with poached eggs on toast, with bacon as an extra. It was excellent. Great ingredients, very tasty and presented really nicely. Looking forward to another visit soon."

"An excellent place just to get a really good cup of coffee, cake or a meal. First class quality of food and the staff are brilliant. I take my dog there regularly as it is so good to have somewhere which will take dogs. I was very perturbed to read a review by a Mr Harrington which severely criticised the hygiene at Swan Yard. Apparently, he was most put out because a guest had let their dog sit on the bench and "slurp" out of its bowl on the table. The standards of hygiene at this cafe are extremely high; I cannot see the need to slag off the establishment because of the behaviour of a guest. Maybe if he had pointed out the problem to the management at the time, they could have done something about it. Instead, he chose to leave a very negative review after the fact. He doesn't see why dogs should even be in there due to "hygiene" and "people with allergies to dogs". I would have thought that people with "allergies to dogs" would have the common sense not to go into a cafe or any other establishment that allows dogs, but maybe I expect some people to have more common sense than they actually have. Perhaps he should go to one of the other establishments in Knowle that doesn't allow dogs, then he won't have a problem. Well done Swan Yard, you are an asset to Knowle."

"I’ve been to the swan yard many times now and every time the food is delicious. Fluffy pancakes, delicious burgers and the best breakfasts in knowle! There is something for everyone on menu. The coffee is fantastic too, I often pop in while walking the dog to grab a takeaway coffee grabbing a dog treat whilst we wait. My son’s favourite is the chocolate milkshake, absolutely delicious! The staff are friendly and chatty, the cafe is always warm and welcoming. If you are looking for a place to meet with friends over breakfast or brunch, I can’t think of anywhere better. There is free parking near by, but remember to grab a ticket first. You won’t be disappointed."

"Delicious coffee and food at Swan Yard! Lovely venue, nice menu and great staff. A little warm inside as no air con but not a major problem."
