Delicious too. I had some kind of breakfast sandwich and my wife had avocado toast. Big pot of tea too.  The cafe had a really cool independent vibe, cozy and chill. A good mix of tourists (like us) and townies. The place was bustling in the morning, which is a good sign. Service was very cheerful and attentive. I understand this place doubles as a bar in the evening, which is a great idea. Well worth seeking out if you are in York. Our hotel recommended it and we weren't disappointed.

It was about a 30-minute wait for a table and a fairly long wait for food, but it was all worth it…read more Tiny little place with abput 24 total seats, so larger parties are probably not a great idea. They do their best to turn tables, but diners, by and large, seem to linger. Rude, but that's people. The staff was very friendly and the food was great! We tried the Corn Fritters and then a special Asian Pork Belly Benedict... both excellent! Good coffee and tea and some nice-looking lattes, etc. Oh, and some great pastries and brownies! You can also get their baked items two doors down at Brew & Brownie Bake Shop! A breakfast/brunch-time winner!

Come here for your breccie before you even think of stepping foot in town! From cakes, epic salads, omlettes, breccie, pies and sandwiches.. this is a gem. I ALWAYS go for the eggs bendedict royale here... Lots of salmon perched on English muffins, smothered in lots of hollandaise sauce and yummy runny yolk goodness from two poached eggs for just over a fiver...bargain.. The milkshakes are delish and the service was so much better here this time. Even had the amazing chef being us our food.. the quality and the cheapness is hard to believe especially when you pay at least a tenner in Manchester for one egg on some dried toast. Only criticism is the table layout. They could fit in so much more people in if they changed things around..other than that a quaint good value cafe..oh and feel free to ask for breakfast after 11 as the chef might say yes :-)

I found Spring through Yelp as I was walking around York…read more The reviews were good and it was a small walk from my location. The cafe was open, airy and very clean. The staff were pleasant and welcoming. I was t very hungry so ordered the Porridge Oats with berries. It was a very generous portion and cooked to perfection; not too milky or lumpy; great consistency. My large cappuccino was rich and tasty, which I sipped from my window seat, allowing me to people watch. Spring lived up to its rating from my swift visit, and would certainly recommend it to other visitors.

We passed Mannion on our way to find another place and it just looked so inviting we went in! So glad we did. We were 5 and they put a table together on the back patio, which was perfect. Our servers were delightful and there was so much great stuff on the menu. Ended up having nice teas, a fruit scone and a savory cheese scone, which were massive. Both served warm and delicious. The cheese scone is served with sour cream/chives and a tomato jam. The sweet tangy combo on warm savory cheese scone is perfection. Also have a huge grazing board charcuterie which was way more than enough for 5 people to share. Colleagues who ordered eggs Benedict and a sandwich were very happy. Of and truffle fries, because why not. So much good food, and some Prosecco and wine and the bill was only $126! Plus, we enjoyed a lovely long lunch. Can't wait to go back try try more of the menu.

Well, it did! Incredible. I've had lots of gnocchi, both semolina and potato, and have never eaten any with this amazing melting consistency. Hard to return to the ordinary kind. I didn't perceive "rudeness" or any similar attitude, as other reviewers report, but did perceive a whiff of formality that edged perhaps a bit too close to coldness, alas.
