They are sparkly gorgeousness with beautiful creamy icing, edible glitter and soft sponge with delightful extra tastes inside. You might bite into one expecting just sponge but end up with some blueberry juice, or chocolate chips and so forth. These guys are artists, and very very good bakers too. I would recommed them for any 'cake' type event. Yum yum,

I still love the Coffee Yard and for the most part the review I wrote for it a good while ago is…read morestill true, coffee, food, service, all great (if fractionally over the odds pricing.. but the quality is there to justify it). The only reason I'm writing this and loosing 2 stars, is because since COVID the upstairs part of the Yard has not reopened, it seems to have been given over to the adjoined art gallery, meaning that the yard itself gas been given over to just being the (slightly dark) narrow cramped feeling bit at the back of the premises which means its a lot less nice to sit in. The upstairs was so much nicer, more natural light, space, a fire in winter and often live background music, so wonderful. So... I really hope to be coming back in the future when I realise the upstairs is open again and stick this back up to 5 stars!!!!

Ladies who lunch everywhere you look! This Holywood High Street café seems to attract high-class…read moreHolywood residents and for good reason. The food is out of this world and the ambiance is even better. Joint on to an art gallery the Yard really is a masterpiece of relaxation. One thing that sets the Yard apart from the huge amount of competition in Holywood is the staff. Firstly there's always an abundance of them and secondly they are always extremely informative and helpful. Back to the all important food - Don't expect to get a huge feed at the Yard, it really is a café in its traditional sense. They sell tray-bakes, pastries, French toast and deserts as well as stocking local teas and coffee. There's a car park out the back of the Yard and you can use the back entrance if you're parked here.

Try red velvet with raspberry buttercream topping, they give you an immediate sugar hit that puts your head in the clouds and shocks your taste buds.

Maybe one day I'll build up enough will power.

What was quite telling is that when we finally did find it, the restaurant was full and we had to book to come back an hour later for lunch. Nice option, combining comfort food with fresh, presumably local, ingredients. I started with broccoli stilton soup. The broccoli came through and it had a nice consistency though I could not really taste the stilton. For my main, I had chicken kiev. Large piece of chicken and the garlic butter definitely had enough garlic. Came with good fresh vegetables and nice chips. My son seemed to enjoy the chocolate cake. While the service wasn't fast, it was very pleasant. We plan on going again.

The Holywood store is a recent addition to the Mauds chain, but it is indeed a welcome one. Small but perfectly formed this Mauds offers all the classic flavours as well as ample seating. If you're going to Mauds get Poor Bear on a cone, it's basically honeycomb ice cream but the chunks of honeycomb are huge. They also sell Bailies coffee so if you're not an ice cream fan you can grab a coffee and question what life with ice cream would be like.

It's a small space but they do a good job to for a decent amount of tables and chairs in. The environment lacks character. Feels like a bit of a shell rather than a place you would like to sit for coffee and dessert. This place also lacks the menu compared to the bigger Maud's on Lisburn road. Though they do some sundaes and waffles. Their tray bakes also don't look very appealing.

It will serve fine coffees with small sweet bites of patisseries, which enhance the flavour of the coffee. The launch evening gave people a taster of some of the fine food that it will be serving. There were some tasty goats cheese, salmon and cucumber canapes and some charcuterie and tapanades which give a taster of the savoury foods in store. We were also treated to some prosecco follwed by a sample of the patisseries i.e Black fruit domes, Raspberry fruit domes, macaroons, mini cheescakes and a good selection of others. We were able to sneak away with some small rhubarb and apple crumble pies, cherry tarts and other little treats to try. They were delicious.

The young girl who served our party was delightful, very well presented and a good knowledge of the coffee.

Fast and efficient. The manager even took the time to explain the whole concept of the Living Room and you really understand where they are coming from. Low tables are my only concern and as a larger man, It can pose a slight issue. I pointed this out to the manager and he explained why they did it that way and the plans going forward. He had so much passion about this business I was surprised to discover that he did not own the business himself. I wish him and all his staff every success but, honestly, with the direction and service they give, it will have no problems on that front.
