I could have sworn I'd written a review …read more Right this place is easy to find as its the first cafe you come across while walking to town from the train station. 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 :-)

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.

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!

Wow, what a treat!! Walking towards the city, this store caught my eye with all things cute and…read moretwee: mugs, egg cup holders, signs, cards, cute knick-knacks, along with a corner of the shop fashioned like an old candy store selling an assortment of goodies. At the back of the store there is a table with an assortment of cakes and tea. The BEST part is wandering up the spiral staircase to scour through the antiques. It's a small selection, but but there are some really nice finds!! There are tons of vintage shops in London, but I've never found anything that I really wanted to buy until I arrived in York. Maybe bc the market in London is extremely saturated, I feel like a lot of the stuff is cool but not enough for me to buy. I picked up a beautiful teacup and saucer set, and a little wool coin purse, though I didn't have room to get a teapot /creamer /sugar bowl set for only £12!! Also some beautiful 30s slinky metal purses, just not affordable for me. Le sigh!! Anyway, this store is a 15 min walk from the centre but its worth it to pop in and browse.

PLEASE REPLACE YOUR CHAIRS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT!…read moreMy mum is covered in bruises and has a bump on her head after the chair she sat on in Uncle Joe's Diner collasped under her. The chair leg had buckled and was bent. All the chairs were the same design and were very light, flimsy and unstable. A man sat behind us said it was the 3rd time he had seen this happen! The staff were polite and apologetic and didn't charge us for our food and drink. This was before I found the slug crawling out of my lettuce! I can forgive the slug but please replace your dangerous chairs before someone is more seriously hurt!
