Crema's Take
“The Yard operates out of a converted residential side yard that feels more like a friend's backyard hangout than a traditional cafe, complete with charming outdoor seating that encourages you to linger. The late hours and relaxed "homie vibe" make it a rare find for evening coffee runs in the Mount Hermon area, while their espresso-focused menu delivers surprisingly unique and thoughtful drinks. If you're seeking a place where coffee tastes good and the atmosphere actually makes you want to stay, this is worth the detour.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Open late.

One of my new favorite spots to stop for coffee in the Bay. The actual shop is in the side yard of a house, where you wouldn't expect a coffee shop to be, but there it is. After ordering, you can relax inside the house or by the garden and enjoy the scenery. I ordered a latte…
My new favorite cafe in Redwood City. I enjoyed a dirty chai and haven't tried the food yet, but it was the atmosphere, including the service, that sold me on this Sunday morning. It felt like a nice neighborhood cafe in a small town with friendly guests who knew each other.…
