A lovely, friendly cafe serving excellent toasties and homemade scones. My mum and I greatly enjoyed our lunch there. I highly recommend it!

Small, friendly cafe with generously sized, fresh baked scones. We skipped lunch twice to enjoy the afternoon tea. Thoroughly recommended.

Ordered a toasted sandwich with a latte and classic cream tea. The drinks arrived but then waited for over 15 minutes for the food, when asked how long it would be we were advised that 15 minutes wasn't long to wait as everything is prepared fresh. If my toaster took that long I would replace it and the scone wasn't cooked fresh whilst we were there as it was cold when delivered to our table. I will not be returning here as there is a lot of choices in ely.

I was wondering down the high street and saw a queue of people waiting to enter, that is always a good sign. I went back when the queue was shorter and it was worth the wait. The room is nicely laid out, there is enough room to feel comfortable, while packing in the most tables possible. the menu is modest but has a good variety, and a quick look at the plates shows nice portions of food, well presented. I opted for the Huge Sausage role and the Apple pie, both looked very tasty; looks were not disappointing, they both tasted very nice. It was so good, that I went back the next day and the food was equally good. They make hot chocolate via a machine and the premade chocolate powder contains some wheat/soya, so if you are allergic it is probably not for you, but if you are intolerant then it is ok and it does taste nice. The staff where friendly, helpful, very well informed of allergy issues.

We’d visited Marmalade and Jam on a previous visit to Ely and enjoyed it so much, so made a beeline for it on arrival, after journeying from our home. Nothing has changed thank goodness. Still the friendly welcome, easy ordering and delicious food. My favourite is the large scone with a cuppa . Slices of Stilton, tomato chutney, butter, yes, it was scrumptious and set us up for a relaxing day, visiting the market and attending a piano recital in the cathedral. We drove home feeling great. We look forward to visiting Marmalade and Jam in the not to distant future.

Popped into this cafe for lunch as was on a day out at Ely. We needed somewhere dog friendly. This was absolutely lovely! Friendly welcome as we stepped in, the staff/ owners were very attentive and made a big fuss of Poppy. She even got a dog buffet of cheese, ham and a Puppachino, which she devoured. I had a Picky Bits off the menu, which I’ve never seen on a lunch menu before. Was very nice, a bit like a ploughman’s. Will definitely be back next time we are in Ely to sample the scones. Good value as well.

Nice and compact little cafe with just seven tables available. Judging by the amount of people that turned up, peered through the door, saw that it was full and walked away this is truly a gem of a place. Good fast friendly service and the tables were cleared and cleaned down as soon as they became vacant. Chunky sausage roll with chutney and a ham, cheese & red onion toasty, washed down with a cappuccino and latte were our choices. A rare find of bread pudding for dessert was (no pun intended) the icing on the cake.

Called in to Ely on a coach trip to Cromer. We walked up the high street and came across this lovely little cafe. I had a lovely warm sausage roll with chutney which was delicious and other members of the family had a toasty which came with crisps and side salad which I was told was delicious to. Very clean cafe and plenty staff and I was impressed with the way the lady cleaned the table by spraying her cloth first and not spraying the table.👍👍

My wife and I found this gem by accident and what a lucky find it was. We were greeted with friendly welcoming smiles. The chef had just baked some fresh cheese scones and the aroma was to much to resist. I ordered one with a chunk of cheddar and homemade chutney to accompany it. My wife has a huge slice of carrot cake and we also enjoyed a super pot of tea. The cafe was spotless and well lit. The staff were brilliant. The only drawback is if you do not like dogs it is dog friendly

Just looking around for a bite to eat when visiting Ely, mainly for the Cathedral, when we stepped into “Marmalade and Jam”. Whow, how lucky can one get. The welcome was so friendly and the food was scrumptious. We both had the scones, mine a gigantic cheese scone with butter plus Stilton cheese and tomatoe chutney. My wife had a normal cream tea. A nice pot of tea to wash it down. The staff are so friendly and attentive we may have to make more that one visit per year to one of our favourite places. Long may this wonderful cafe keep going.

What a lovely wee find. We had lunch at Marmalade & Jam on 29th Aug. Cosy, welcoming environment with lovely food & staff too. We didn't have the gorgeous looking homemade scones this time but plan a return visit soon with my in-laws . The tearoom Is a stone's throw away from the beautiful Ely Cathedral and,situated in the heart of the local shops . Perfect place to stop for a bite to eat & relax before a bit more sightseeing & shopping.

Love going to The Yard, service, atmosphere & food is great. You can go just for a coffee to having a full meal with drinks. They have thought of everything from hooks on tables for dog leads to children’s toilet seats built in. The tables are been cleaned constantly and there is no mess or rubbish in sight. I can’t recommend enough. Keep up the great work everyone.
