How cool is it to have a coffee shop in a medieval tower (along the York city wall) !!!! Cute and…read morecozy. Very limited seating. Good breakfast menu. Good coffee. My favorite cafe ever now.

Recently visited York for the first time and was lucky enough to notice this hidden gem in a tower…read morewhilst on a riverside stroll. It's literally located in a tower just next to a bridge near downtown, which makes it a very convenient stop if you're heading that direction. The facility itself is very small and doesn't have much seating, but what's available is very cozy. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and made great recommendations. I had the Carmel Latte and was impressed!

Cute place to rest up with some coffee and tea!…read more Hi, my name is Angela and I am a caffeine addict. On holiday in York, I was dying for some non chain coffee. In my dire search for coffee, I nearly walked by this place, located next to a Cafe Nero. There's a simple sign outside the front entrance. Opening the door, you walk up a flight of stairs and through a door to the actual shop. This definitely seems like a sit down place. I was planning to get coffee to go, but once I stepped inside I opted to sit down instead. I ordered the Harlequin Blend, while my friend, who doesn't drink caffeine, got a simple elderflower soda. Even though I am a coffee addict, I'm no connoisseur. But, if you still trust me after that statement, I can tell you the coffee was pretty good. Not overly strong (which they listed in the blend notes), but still interesting flavors. You pay at the door when you exit, so no rush at all. Overall, a nice place to drop in if you're tired and need a perk me up.

This place had really good tea and scones... and very reasonable prices. highly recommend!read more

What a great little breakfast spot. The food was delicious the staff were friendly and helpful.

The only complaint was there wasn't enough. My son had the French toast with banana cream and pavlova. It was almost gone before I had a chance to taste it. My Wife had the corn croquette Benny which was nice and flavourful. We took desserts to go, everything I tasted here felt like moms baking with a twist. Oh and the kids loved their hot chocolate!!

SPLENDID!!! Absolutely splendid…read more Make sure you make a reservation or you will be waiting in the queue outside for empty table/last min cancellation. I'm so glad I asked to sit outside as the bathroom is right next to some table inside. I have an ick where I cannot eat comfortably knowing the toilet is right there. It started to rain a little and the staff was so kind to check on us to see if we want to have the umbrella opened. We didn't want to trouble them so we said no a few times hoping the rain will stop soon but it didnt stop. The staff was so nice to offer again to get us some shelter and we finally took it. They even change our utensils because it was rained on. The food is even better than their service. My god that was the best brunch I've had for a long time. It was both soooooo flavorful we were in awe.

This branch of Starbucks is located in a large, impressive building on Coney Street, it feels far…read moretoo grand to be a Starbucks in terms of both interior and exterior, but that just goes to show how great York is, as a city, especially for the impressive and historic sights and buildings. Despite being an old building, in what looks like a converted bank, they have kept Starbucks vibes to a degree and the store has a nice level of brightness, which is something you're sometimes missing in many older buildings. There was only a small amount of seating, which was a shame given how large the store was, but the seating was relatively comfortable. I ordered a Vent iced Pumpkin Spice latte, with this being my favourite festive drink at Starbucks, I was pleasantly surprised that they were one of the few stores in the country to still offer this drink. There wasn't even a button on the tills anymore to charge me, so they ended up putting it through as a vanilla latte, this meant I paid much less than what it would have been back in Autumn with my gold rewards discount. I enjoyed my drink, it was up to the usual Starbucks standards, although they did add whipped cream which I had specifically requested against. They were busy, and mistakes can happen, the staff remained friendly. Early closing is a huge down point for me, but sadly very few other businesses in York seem to remain open after 6 pm, I can't understand why that is, as it is the city centre of one of England's large and historic cities. 4*

A cute coffee shop/bar in a lovely location in York. We planned to visit for a drink on New Year's…read moreDay but they were closed, so only managed to pop in for breakfast the following day. The breakfast options are very limited (something I think they should expand on) so we both opted for a bacon sandwich, which came on toasted sourdough with tomatoes and tomato relish, and was really tasty. I had a flat white and my companion had a gingerbread latte, both really good quality. Then I couldn't resist 'breakfast dessert' and got a double chocolate brownie, which was lovely, really gooey but that's my preference. Prices were reasonable for the area and for a hipsterish establishment. The owners of the bar also rent out rooms in the apartment above the bar through Airbnb which is worth checking out if you're after an affordable stay in York.

It stays open till 12.30am - I reckon it would be great and spend a chilled evening here. The deco inside is trendy with exposed brick, wooden tables and a random bike on the wall. It also has a pretty garden out the back which must be lovely in the summer, apparently you can book it out for parties. They serve nice and reasonably priced cocktails - me and my friend had a orange espresso martini which was delish! They also have food available and cakes. It's a shame I don't live nearby as it would definitely be my local place to go for breakfast and cocktails -obviously not at the same time though ;-)
