So you can enjoy your days off, or a break from your workday no matter which day of the week you find yourself here !

THE Place to Getaway Only Minutes from Brisbane
Samford Village is only 30 minutes from Brisbane’s CBD. Yet the charming village atmosphere and the friendly locals will make you feel like you’ve left the city much further behind than that. We think that’s because most of the businesses in the village are owned by locals who live in or around Samford Valley.
Whether you’re visiting for business or pleasure, find time to visit The Long Yard Larder – open 7 days a week from 7.00 AM to 5.00 PM. Making the decision to be open longer than many of the other cafe spots in the Valley, we’ve given you plenty of time to pop in the car and head on over no matter which side of Brisbane you’re on, but especially for those on the northside of Brisbane.

Each item is made fresh that morning in our cafe kitchen. This way you can see exactly what you’re choosing and be on your way in a matter of minutes. Here’s just some of the options we offer in our cabinet of ready-to-go delicacies.
Cafe Style Slices and Biscuits
We have plenty of yummy options to satisfy your sweet tooth. First, we have Sweet Slices. These delectable treats are the perfect morning tea snack to go with your coffee. We often have apricot, orange, carrot, and passionfruit flavours but they change every day depending on what’s in season.
Gluten free, dairy free options
They also come in gluten and dairy free options.
If you like the sweet option but want something other than slices, you can try our Biscuits. They’re a smaller size, if you want to be health-conscious. They come in a range of great flavours, such as the classic choc chip!
Hot and Fresh Pastries Fresh from Our Kitchen
If you’re in the mood for something warmer on a cold winter morning, try our range of hot pastries. We have traditional English food options from Wensley’s, including an authentic Guinness Pie and Cornish pasties.
Maybe you’d prefer a Quiche which are popular with the locals, for their great taste and for filling you up more than you’d expect.
We’ve also received high praise for our almond croissants. A sweeter alternative to the normal croissant but with an exotic fresh taste, they are simply to die for!
