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!

The decor is fantastic, relaxing, and quaint, but more importantly, the food is superb. Everything we tried, from the milkshakes to the desserts, were absolutely finger-licking good. The quality was simply superb. This place is worth going out of one's way to visit. If you're looking for a fantastic lunch, it's where it's at. One note, the place tends to be busy, so it can be a bit of a wait for the food or for the staff, but the food is worth the wait.

I was not too into tea but enjoyed both that I tasted. The sandwiches are good (I enjoyed the ham one) and we were able to request more sandwiches if needed.

I am OBSESSED with this place! Not only because it is super cute and staff are super friendly, but…read morebecause their drinks are genuinely wonderful! I love chai lattes but I am caffeine sensitive and lactose intolerant so they always customize my drink and ughhh if only you could taste how amazing it is! It just hits all the right places, the chai is not too strong, nor too sweet. JUST RIGHT. For those that are like ew vegan drink, it's been approved by my skeptical and non vegan friend! Any time i am in the area, I always make sure I stop by for my chai latte. Perfect to grab and head on a little stroll around town, while your drink keeps you warm. Check it out! I'm sure whatever you decide to get, will be lovely.

York is definitely not New York City, but step into Bison Coffee and you'll feel like you're in…read moreWilliamsburg. Located just outside the city wall, this establishment is a cute mom-and-pop place to get your coffee. My entire trip in York, I had been searching for a good coffee shop and Bison finally served my needs. When I entered around mid-morning on a weekday, there was no other customers in the shop. The shop's front is tiny, but I believe there's more space in the back if you want to sit and sip your coffee. I opted to take my flat-white to go. The flavoring on the flat white was nicely done and the drink wasn't too hot to immediately sip and enjoy. A good cup of coffee from a hip, local establishment that specializes in coffee? I know in larger cities that sounds like low standards, but in York? Trust me, it's something worth celebrating.

Upon entering Costa and locating the counter, I was approached by a young man whom asked me what I…read morewanted (he seemed polite yet a tad loud). I told him my order to which he repeatedly (YES repeatedly) shouted at me "do you want it at 180 or burnt. I pressumed this was to make myself and others feel his authority within the business. I use Costa on a regular basis 'however not this one'. I have never been spoken to by a Costa barista like this before and I might add that the coffee is vile as he has burnt it to a crisp possibly done this as he felt that I had possibly annoyed him by asking for an extra hot latte. Coffee Vile and staff vile apart from the nice young lady that heated up my sandwich as she was at least smiling and pleasant towards myself and others when I was observing staff service. 1star
