The queue can be very long at times but does seem to move quickly so you don't generally end up waiting to long. I love their ciabatta buns which you can buy in bags of 2 or 4, they are so lovely and soft on the inside and slightly crusty on the outside. Thomas' sell the traditional bakery range sandwiches (try the delicious roast beef and onion ciabatta) hot pastry items and lots of lovely cakes and buns.

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!

The place had…read morea welcoming, super friendly vibe, and the display case was filled with fresh pastries, pies, and local specialties. I tried the Steak Bake -- pure comfort food. The filling was a warm, savory mix of diced beef in a rich, flavorful gravy, wrapped in a golden, flaky pastry crust. Service was friendly, and prices were reasonable. Overall, if you're in the area, it's definitely worth a stop. Saluti!

Personailly, I think Thomas the Baker is the best baker ever! I normally grab some lunch there when…read moreI'm in town and have tried a lot of the things they sell, for me the best are the cheese and onion pasties and the Yum Yums. They're very consistent with their quality and although there are other nice bakeries in York, for me, none of them compete with Thomas's. Thomas the Baker is really cheap too, it's possible to get a decent lunch there for a couple of quid. The only bad thing I can say is that it's unhealthy but then again all bakeries are!

Last time I was here, this cute shop wasn't, so it's nice to see a fresh new addition to the area. It's quite a large space - open and airy with high ceilings and plenty of hanging plants, making for an enjoyable atmosphere. There's lots of seating, both indoors and out on their front patio lined with colorful flowers. We chose to sit outside on this nice, sunny morning. But first we ordered at their front counter. Here you'll find a few large glass cases displaying lots of baked goods. Savory tarts, danishes, fresh breads, and small sandwiches. We came for coffee, but couldn't resist a little bite once we saw what was on offer. Opting for the goat cheese, tomato and basil tart, they quickly warmed it for us and delivered it out to our table. Along with it came our big cups of tasty coffee; an oat milk latte for me and a cappuccino for my husband. Everything was enjoyable! Our 10-month old was definitely a fan of the flaky pastry, as were we. I would look forward to returning here again before we head back home, and on our future visits to York.
