Located in the centre of the town, next to the bus-stop, York Tea Rooms is THE place to go for high…read morequality snacks and lunches. Sandwiches are made from fresh baked loaves and slices are hand cut (giving you a substantial sandwich!), and fillings include Wensleydale and cranberry and Yorkshire Ham and mustard. The coffees and teas are from the Taylors range so high quality. The front of the coffee shop faces out into the square and is a great place to sit and have a toasted teacake and watch as people come and go. The staff are welcoming and helpful and the service swift, the atmosphere is that of a posh place, and while I have managed to get in there with a small pram, I wouldn't feel comfortable with a noisy toddler! The prices reflect the menu and the average sandwich is around £4.95 so not a cheap snack. Highly recommended for a quiet coffee and snack to break up your shopping or with a friend.

Now it's not cheap but come on this is harrogate! Oh and it's definitely one for the cat lovers! (there are cute little cat statues and figurines on display for one to see as they eat their meal)

The name tells you everything you need to know about this place - it's opposite the university,…read morequite literally, meaning that it's an absolute haven for students and lecturers alike. Every lunchtime, and even at non-peak times, this place has people spilling out of every doorway and onto the main road - it gets seriously busy. Obviously, this is a good sign, but it can get frustrating when you queue up for what seems like an age, and then struggle to find anywhere to sit once you finally have your sandwich and coffee. If you can find somewhere to sit, then it's a glorious experience - inside they have cushty couches and loads of art work on the walls from local talent. Outside the little chairs provide a nice place for you to people watch while you munch on what will undoubtedly be a tasty sandwich and drink the city's best espresso. If there were more places to sit, it would most definitely get five stars.

Opposite is a frustrating story of, well... opposites. The best of some worlds clashing with the…read moreworst of others. The coffee here is the best on or around the university. Given how bad some of the coffee is at the university's own cafes (latte art does not good coffee necessarily make!), it's a relief to know good stuff can be had here. Some of the service is top-notch. And they deserve plaudits for giving a 10p discount to those bringing their own cup. This is another area where all the university's cafes fall down, however much one might expect them to do the sustainable, environmentally-friendly, fair thing. Alas, that's not where the story ends. Some of the service is top-notch. Some of it is atrocious and inept. The barista making my latte moved with the urgency who had just stumbled out of bed after a late night. He misjudged the amount of soy milk he needed for my latte, only realising when he had added it to the espresso. Rather than ditch everything and start again like the best obsessive baristas might, issuing a barrage of apologies, he simply steamed some more soy latte and added it to his previous creation. Worst of all, I noticed that he didn't purge the steam arm when he had finished, meaning the next lucky customer would likely be enjoying their coffee with an infusion of old soy milk. Ewww. That is bad enough in my view, but there's a little more: spotting that they sell North Star coffee in bags (for £8.50-£9), I asked if they could grind it for me. After all, they sell V60 filter cones, paper and grinders. They're obviously serious about their coffee, so grinding beans should be as easy for them as it has been for every coffee shop across the world that I've asked of this favour, right? Apparently not, forcing me to trek into town to find a coffee shop able to both sell good coffee ground or be able to grind beans. Very disappointing.

I was happy with the greasy sarnie (with your choice of sauce) and the strength of the takeout coffee, but I left with the feeling that I could have got a lot more than I did. As the name suggests, they do more than just standard teas and coffees, with the full range of Italian coffees on offer - lattes, cappuccinos, espressos, etc., while they do plenty of other types of sandwich, unhealthy or otherwise. Thus I reckon Mochaccino is probably the best best for cheap hot drinks and butties in Cookridge.

Sure, it's friendly and the coffee was acceptable, the toasted sandwich contained all the bread, cheese and toastiness one would expect and the service was pretty quick but it was also a little devoid of character and it looked scruffy inside. The name suggests something slightly continental but the appearance is more greasy spoon.

I agree that their healthy juice is gorgeous - needs a splash of vodka in it to make it even better but it is beautiful. They also do some oldfashioned bottles like oldfashioned ginger beer and lemonade but i did find these too sour for me. Their sandwiches are gorgeous - i usually have the tuna panini with mayo and it is lovely and very morish. They also do some nice jacket taties which are served with a nice salad and are lovely. The prices arent too dear either so i really love going here. The staff are lovely and friendly too. The place is nice and clean and the toilets are also clean.

It is one of the few remaining Starbucks to follow the old store layout/colour scheme, which I haven't seen since 2017, the store still has a nice feel to it. I decided to try the new Strawberry Acai Refresha, my drink was pretty good, the baristas were also friendly and helped offer recommendations, such as making the drink with lemonade instead of water, which make the drink all the more refreshing. The pricing can be slightly higher here, due to this being a franchise store, which is frustrating, they do however support mobile ordering and Starbucks Rewards, which isn't too bad. 3* - Solid, average Starbucks store.
