The Old Station Yard Café - Quietly Brilliant and Easy to Miss Just two minutes from Wood Street Station, tucked behind Lancaster Garden Centre in E17, this café is one of those places you hope to stumble on. There’s space to breathe, rich smooth coffee, and food cooked fresh - we had homemade potato cakes straight from the pan. The furniture is a vintage mix that gives the place real character, and the menu includes great options for vegetarians and vegans. This family-run café is thoughtfully decorated, with artwork by local artists and space for children to play without ever feeling intrusive. It’s a visual feast - warm, calming, and full of detail. It’s ideal for a slow morning, a quiet catch-up, or simply taking a moment. We’ll definitely be back - and next time, we’re bringing the family.

We had the most wonderful experience at the Old Station Yard Café! From the moment we stepped inside, we were met with such warmth and kindness — it genuinely felt like walking into a family home. Enitan and her daughter were the perfect hosts, so welcoming and friendly, it made our afternoon extra special. There’s such a lovely community feel to the café — everyone is greeted like an old friend, and the atmosphere is full of heart. And the banana and chocolate cake? Absolutely unbelievable — rich, moist, and packed with flavour. Honestly one of the best cakes we've ever had! My mum and I had such a good time, we didn’t want to leave. Thank you for such a beautiful experience — we’ll definitely be back!
