Swan Yard Coffee & Kitchen in Solihull

Good coffee and delicious cinnamon rolls! Dog friendly 🐶

What a find! Breakfasts are lovely, I’m yet to try the rest of the menu as breakfasts are all me. But honestly get yourselves down here if you love food! Thanks again to all the staff. Great service, atmosphere and food. What more could you want.

Came here for brunch with my sister and mum and we had a wonderful experience. The service and food was fresh and delicious. We will definitely be coming back.

We are in Swan Yard every week without fail. They make the best coffee around and the service is always brilliant. There are lots of food choices to suit everyone including kids, our toddler loves it here. The team are really welcoming and I can’t recommend it enough ☺️

Atmosphere - lovely, service and staff - brilliant, food - amazing Will definitely be back!

In here again today just for a takeaway always great as ever staff super friendly

Strange set up. I`d love to give a proper review, but having tried to contact them via the only means they seem to have (Social media) I`ve had no success. I`ve been trying to see if they do take away as we regulary collect 8-12 meals a day for our office staff and food looks good. They do not have a phone number, website or email address. Messaged them on social media, message was read but no reply ??..... Clearly doing to well. Shame as it looks good

Really nice cafe with some interesting food items. Brilliant breakfasts for all tastes

Disappointing breakfast sandwich Egg was hard so was bacon Very poor first visit

Good, quick service, even with it being completely full at peak time. Smashed patty cheeseburger was delicious!

It was super busy this morning. Lovely to see an independent cafe thriving! Staff were nice and accommodating. Coffee was amazing. We ordered the Full English, everything was really nice except the hash browns. One was really tough & chewy and the other was really nice. Quite odd but hey these things happen. Love that it’s Dog /Child friendly. All cutlery is available at the front with clean cups for water. All self explanatory. Very clean.

Had a quick breakfast. Nice location and very busy. Plus side you can take your dog in there but a bit expensive.

Highly recommended for afternoon tea :-)

We always love visiting Swan Yard & it is a real treat every time we go. The food is excellent quality & cannot be faulted & they have a great choice of beautifully cooked & crafted food & drinks. The chef is brilliant & they are so obliging even with difficult & super fussy people like me, who have certain food intolerances. The staff themselves make it a pleasure to visit & they are consistently friendly, happy & quick as anything with helping you. It has a lovely bright friendly atmosphere, whaever time of day you visit & it is a credit to Knowle. We are so lucky to have somewhere like this to eat & drink at. Also - it is always spotlessly clean.

Great food, quick service will come again

Great service , great atmosphere, lovely food and fab staff xx

Cool staff, prompt service even when busy. Great quality food!

Amazing fresh food, staff are welcoming and lovely ! Trendy cafe vibes

Love this place . Food is great . Never disappointed when I visit

Absolutely brilliant place great food and warm friendly staff well worth a visit 👍😋

Ordered fries with our meal and the young lady at the till, whilst hearing this, didn't put it through, so the meal arrived without and we had had to sort this out ourselves, without I might add receiving any kind of apology. I appreciate that mistakes do happen, but in light of the lady admitted it was her fault I'd have remedied this by giving the fries to the customer for free, by way of a gesture of kindness ( or maybe a free coffee or pudding as an alternative ). Little things like that go a long way in my book! It does seem a little off to have to get our own cutlery, also. Finally, might I request that if they do burgers, which they do, they add a veggie/vegan burger to the menu. The food was nice

Nice food but very expensive for what you get. Chef was extremely put out when asked for something not on the menu - beans on toast even though a full breakfast is on the menu.

Lovely cafe that we found by chance! Staff were all very kind, drinks and food were very quick regardless to it being fairly busy.

Fabulous breakfast, excellent friendly service, great atmosphere, many thanks Swan yard ❤️

Excellent staff and food, my wife and kids all loved it.

Really lovely place. Great food and good service. I have given 3 stars because I brought my elderly Mum who is very wary of dogs. There were 3 in there, one of which approached her and for this reason, I will not be bringing her again

This place is so packed with pushchairs and tables that I could hear other people’s conversations easier than my own. Didn’t stay to try the food it felt too claustrophobic and noisy

Great place to eat, foods lovely with kind and friendly staff 😊

Excellent little cafe, food and drink is spot on, lovely little gem of a place. Was served by Loren who made me feel like a regular on my first visit. Definitely give this place a go!

The food, atmosphere, staff and overall service is excellent and is definitely recommended if you are at all in the the area.

Stupendous coffee and fab service. You must try the iced hot chocolate!

THE BEST MILKSHAKES! We decided to stop in after a walk around the village and what a great find. Friendly staff, delicious food and some of the best milkshakes around. Look forward to returning soon

Visited last week for brunch with a friend. We had the banana bread and waffles. The banana bread was amazing and generous portion size. My friend had the waffles which was way bigger than expected. Staff are friendly and the cafe is always super clean and the food is always really nice.

Absolutely love it here, such friendly staff and the best chicken wraps and steak wraps around!

Cheek by jowl - looked a great place but the amount of tables that were crammed in such a small space was reminiscent of a school canteen and so loud as everyone had to talk loudly because of the claustrophobic seating arrangements. Rather pricey too

Amazing food & drink, always greeted with a warm welcome!

Amazing, mine and my partners favourite brunch stop. All staff are very friendly, service is amazing and always very clean. Food is very fresh and tasty, 100% recommend.

Forever my favourite local cafe and kitchen. Paul, Hayley, Loren and the team make this place feel like home, and whether you live in the area or coming from away, you'll always be made to feel like that. As well as having the most photogenic and tasty food and drinks, for someone who always takes photos of that. Always wishing the team the very best, and can't wait to see more of what they are capable of doing ❤️

Eggs with avocado toast consists of a very thick slice of toast with the thinnest smear of avocado - inversely proportional to the dimensions of the toast brick. Dry and almost inedible without the eggs. Unhelpfully it comes with extra toast on the side. A toast bonanza.

Called here for a quick brunch before a friends wedding. We were made very welcome and served quickly with tasty freshly cooked food and well prepared drinks. Didn't have time for cakes today but they looked tempting!

Excellent breakfast sandwich earlier but asked for small bowl of strawberries for 10 month old baby and was charged £3 ...scandalous! No more than 2 strawberries cut up very fine. Disappointed 😥

Beautifully cooked, well presented delicious breakfast, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff

Lovely lunch. Excellent coffee. Service with a smile. Great find off the high street

Tried here for the first time this weekend as we saw it was dog friendly, which we absolutely love. Amazing breakfasts and huge portions, made from quality produce and tasty butchers meat. Tucked away just off the high street, it’s a great little find. Dogs were given treats and enjoyed their visit.

Had breakfast here on a busy Bank Holiday Monday today. Staff were really friendly, food was absolutely delicious and a good price for what you got! I had the full breakfast and my sister had the veggie breakfast with eggs added. Would definitely come back here again

Been here a few times now and everytime food is on point and staff are very friendly. Highly recommend

A hidden gem. A family run, independent cafe with amazing high quality food and service. Always a pleasure to visit x

Lovely atmosphere. Food was great.

We have visited this Cafe many times now and we absolutely love it- if you are in Knowle, you must visit this place. The staff here are so welcoming and attentive, and very engaging with our young children which is lovely to see, and its great to see genuine beaming smiles. The food is of excellent quality, comes out hot and full of flavour. The decor is modern, contemporary, comfortable and clean. Overall its a pleasurable experience everytime we dine here and we are already looking forward to our next visit after visiting only this morning. Thank you Paul and team. See you again very soon.

Best breakfast in Solihull & v friendly staff.

A hidden gem just off the high street. Great coffee, helpful and friendly team and delicious food.

Awesome, local cafe for food and drink! Definitely my favourite in the area. Also a top quality team that deliver great hospitality. Probably been through the whole menu!

Have visited the Swan Yard on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed! The cakes are lovely and the coffee is always great. Nice atmosphere, clean setting and lovely food.

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.

Love the Swan yard, the staff are so friendly and accommodating always finding space for us with pushchairs and dogs! The coffee is great and food is lovely, highly recommend giving this place a try.

Great food and great service! Coffee is also amazing….. get yourselves down there!

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.

Wonderful warm, clean cafe - staff so friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious - highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great atmosphere, food is ok... had the full English and mushrooms were bland. Hash brown felt extremely greasy and wasn't quite what I'd expected. Other plates being served did look nice but felt like they could do a bit more with their food.

Visited a couple of times and I've not been disappointed. Food is very tasty. Bonus that it's dog friendly so there's always a fluff ball inside.

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.

Lovely food (wraps are delicious) Excellent presentation, Warm and inviting staff, A nice, clean, modern environment to be in.

Amazing, top quality food without the guilt! Staff are super friendly and we love that our dog can dine in with us too. Would highly recommend.

Excellent service, atmosphere and food. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food is absolutely unreal, cooked to perfection and tasty.

We love this place. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. The staff are lovely and it's dog friendly. Well worth a visit.

Great cafe just off the High St in Knowle, but worth finding. Highly recommended.

Great place to work remotely and take friends and family. Coffee is delicious and the staff are always friendly whilst preparing orders!

Good food good value and friendly service

Good food generally and good value. However, the kids pancakes are only served with Nutella, even though the adult ones can come with yoghurt - no explanation as to why. As the only kids breakfast item, it’s limited. The babychino also comes in a large adult cup and was hotter than the sun. Given how much of the market is young families, more could be done to cater.

Lovely toasted sandwiches, brownie and Victoria Sponge washed down with an ice cream based strawberry shake, bliss. Friendly staff front of house, very clean and quick service even though constant flow of customers in and out. Pleasant change from “other” coffee shops in Knowle who greet you with “we’re really busy it’s a twenty minute wait”, Swan Yard actually make you feel welcome 🤗. Dog friendly too. It’s all good 👍 highly recommended

First time in today, excellent hot coffee and small breakfast. Definitely visit again 😊

I did like this cafe, its only down the road from me, and you get waitress service which I haven't had in long time!. The coffee is good and they have nice selection of cakes, I can't say anything about the food because I haven't tried it yet!.

Friendly staff, reasonably priced, nice coffee, very busy. Not very accessible for pushchairs or wheelchairs, not enough space. Staff offered something that was possibly gluten free when asked for vegan so might need better staff training.

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.

Had a few excellent breakfasts here and today went for lunch. Was not disapointed! Probably the best beefburger I've had in a long time.

This is the summit of dining pleasure . Staff excellent . The best poached eggs on toast I have ever eaten . Perfection ! I shall make a beeline for here on my next visit .

What a lovely cafe. Clean, spacious but not huge. Great choices of food and drink. Staff very welcoming. Real asset to the village

Amazing !!! service the chef came out personally to deliver our food ! . heard us asked they catered halal food ( chicken is) and then he made sure he cooked all our food separately im really impressed !! this is our local new favourite place to have breakfast , lunch & coffee ! Thank you xxx

Smart place with great food and staff with plenty of parking right outside.

Great place. Lovely decor and delicious food. Warm welcome too.

Lovely lively café, good coffee, the food looked good. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.☕🍰
