Cute little cafe in York! It was cold and I happened upon this place on our way back to our hotel. My caramel latte (with soya milk ) hit the spot. The biscuit they serve with the coffee was quite tasty too. Nice staff! Small cafe but decent seating. We took our drinks to go through. I recommend! read more

Mannion - Caramel latte - Cafes Near Me - York, YOR

This place was a happy accident. My colleague wanted formal tea at Betty's but the line was ridiculous. 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. read more

I used to visit this little cafe a few years ago back when it wasn't as busy and only had a tiny amount of seating space. They have since expanded and now have more tables in a nice, (if not slightly cramped) back room. They also have a cute courtyard if you can brave the cool Yorkshire air. I visited on a Saturday at prime time brunch hour, so naturally we expected a wait, especially because there was five of us in a cafe with predominantly tables for two. We told it would be around ten minutes which made us happy because we had a hungry, grumpy three year old with us. We actually waited about 30 minutes which was slightly frustrating but the staff were working as hard as they could. When we did get seated it was at a table for four. When we asked for an extra chair the waitress got a bit sassy with us and made us feel like a huge inconvenience. Not great. The brunch menu was really good, I opted for Eggs Benedict. When this arrived it was beautifully presented and I loved that the hollandaise came on the side, I personally drown mine but I know this isn't to everyone's taste so it was good to have the option. The bacon sandwich was also gorgeous and it is great to see such good quality ingredients. This is of course reflected in the price which is pricey but not outrageous for such quality. They also sell amazing cakes and artisan treats at the main counter so you can just nip in to buy some goodies and get a takeaway coffee. I will definitely come back but on this occasion the service let it down and it all felt rushed and chaotic but thoroughly enjoyed the food. read more

I'll be honest and say that this wasn't our first choice for lunch, but we were all very pleased we ended up here. Taking advantage of being off work at the same time as my parents, I met them in York for a day and as we arrived around 1130 we were in the mood for either brunch or lunch. This place is an easy wander from the station. The only real downside is that it's just not very big and as a solution to this they had added a third chair to a table clearly meant for two. This meant it was hard to comfortably fit three meals and drinks on the table and that I felt like I was in the way of passing staff and customers. With that out of the way, I will say we really enjoyed our food, even if some of it was a bit unusual. They have a sandwich menu but don't expect these all to be neatly-filled portable affairs: my dad's pork sandwich was essentially a massive piece of cooked pork laid over some bread. He really liked it but had to eat it with a knife and fork. My salami, blue cheese and gherkin sandwich was somewhat easier to eat but still needed to be cut into several pieces before tackling. It was really good though and very generous with filling. My mum had the rarebit which she also rated. Just the right amount of richness. My latte was nice also, and my parents enjoyed their espresso and Americano. I didn't pay (I wonder when if ever my mum will let me treat her to lunch- is it an age-related milestone?) but I think my mum said it was roughly £30 which is not bad. Overall I'd recommend it. There are probably more appealing brunch/lunch options around but it was definitely worth a shot here. read more

Another great experiences, even if your just going for a coffee your treated to the same excellent customer service..

This was a recommendation from a friend, and it didn't disappoint! This is a fairly small bistro, so there was indeed the need to wait in line in the queue! After a 15 min wait, we were seated towards the back of the shop. Having browsed the menu I ordered a pot of tea and a sweet chilli chicken sandwich. The tea was present in a cast iron pot which I thought was pretty cool. The food was presented nicely but they actually got my order wrong! They gave me a pulled pork sandwich instead, which I still thoroughly enjoyed though, so I didn't bother to send it back! Next time I will try the cakes, as they had a really nice selection in the display as you walked into the bistro and overall this was a really nice visit. read more

The only place to go for a coffee/snack for lunch. The food is excellent try the sharing platters or the afternoon tea. Puts Bettys to shame. read more

Mama and I stumbled into John Mannion after perusing a few other tea room windows and noticing that they were far too crowded to squeeze into - school holidays, who'd have 'em? I liked the atmosphere in John Mannion, all chalkboards and trays full of hunks of bread around the place, but overall I thought it was a bit of a meh experience (sorry previous Yelpers, I hope I don't drag the stars down too much for you!) There was a good choice of sandwiches but no real menu, only my beloved chalkboards; hard to read when there's a lady head infront of it and even harder when you're supposed to wear glasses but never do. I eventually opted for a ham & cheese sarnie because I was feeling simple. That and I dislike most sauces, which alot of the options here come with. The sarnie itself was lovely, big and chunky, with a sweet tomato/onion relish, and a dressed salad on the side. The bread was a real high point in that it was herby and garlicy, but, suprisingly, white - possibly there was an option for brown but it wasn't given. Given the wholesome nature of the place I would have considered this as standard, but maybe that's just me! The service was okay, staff seemed to be really good with children but lacking connection with adults, meaning we felt a bit left to the side at times as our plates were cleared quickly with little comment rather than the lengthy-in-comparison conversation about the meals at the table next door. Desserts and cakes looked mouthwateringly good and I reckon they would've upped the star - shame we had other, wine based, plans in mind! read more

On a trip to York we stumbled across this place, checked it out on Yelp and it had one positive review, well now it has two. This place is excellent! Really fresh bread, excellent meats and cheese. The menu was a little confusing but after speaking with the waitress she explained what we would be getting and that was a little bit of everything, cheese, meat, bread, olives, fish, artichoke. We had two dishes and shared this between 2 adults and 2 children (11 & 5) for a light lunch, this was the right amount for us for a light lunch. Saw deserts on the menu but we didn't have one. There was a fantastic looking meringue which one customer ordered but when he received it he turned it away, the old git said it was too big! It was large but easily shared between two persons which there were. There are some strange people out there. Would definitely go back on a trip back to York. The place was constantly busy, staff very friendly, it looked clean and tidy. The chef and I presume owner had a handle on everything that was occurring. It appears they do food for special events and weddings etc. You could order sandwiches and coffee to go. They had a specials board as you can see from my posted photos. They also have a website. read more

Prices are reasonable. Most of the best food are on the specials menu, food are displayed differently the usual. Coffee wasn't bad. Only down side was that it is a small shop with only about 5 tables read more
