The Green Yard Cafe - West Dorset

Such a lovely cafe with a great cosy atmosphere. The staff are so friendly. The food was fresh delicious would definitely go back again when in town. Our little frenchie dog was welcome too.

I am so glad I finally managed to visit the Green Yard. I am normally in Bridport too early to come here (they open at 9am) but today I was a bit later. After this experience I am wishing I had stayed in bed a bit longer before all my other trips to Bridport! It is slightly off the beaten track, tucked up a side road from the main street but worth hunting down you will not be disapointed. I had scrambled eggs on toast with bacon and a 'cup ' of tea. You might think scrambled eggs are easy enough to do but so many places overcook them. Not here though; they were beautifully cooked, fresh and hot, slightly soft and a good sized portion too. The portion of bacon was equally generous. As for the 'cup ' of tea, I was presented with a huge teapot complete with at least 3 tea bags. Compare that to the tiny pots or cups you get in most places. The bill was more than reasonable, the staff, especially the owner, are friendly and efficient. I really cannot fault this place. It will be my go to place in Bridport from now on.

Stopped here for lunch en route south, and were really impressed by friendly staff and delicious food. Coastal cheddar and coleslaw doorstep sarnies and excellent coffee. Highly recommended. The elephant in the room mural is inspired.

There was nothing to make this establishment stand out from the crowd. Reviews and ratings suggested it would be wonderful. I can’t see it. I had an ordinary Full English Breakfast with over cooked bacon and mushrooms. The portions were average. The best thing was the Black pudding (often excluded these days) although again it was a bit over cooked. It must be me because I can’t see what all the fuss is about with this Slightly cramped Café. It’s fine but nothing more and to me not worth the elevated ratings.

Speedy service excellent food. Owner very chatty with us returning customers. We had the vegetable tart, new potatoes, salad coleslaw and a jacket potato with cheese and ham. Great coffee also. All the cakes looked great too
