Really disappointed with this cafe - we came for a very basic bacon roll and a sausage and egg roll. We had asked for extra bacon as only 2 rashers are included on a large roll (definitely not enough especially when considering the price!). When...it came, the bacon was really fatty (about half fat half actual meat) so by the time we’d taken it off it was basically just one rasher on a large bread roll. The sausage was nice (nothing special) but the egg was very overcooked. We also had filter coffee which wasn’t great and a Diet Coke which seemed to be straight out of a large bottle. For all of this the price was £22.95 - absolutely ridiculous for a small local greasy spoon cafe.More

Very popular cafe only 7-8 minutes walk from the rail station, near York Minster with a good range of food & drink options in a pleasant & comfortable atmosphere. Generally better value than many other nearby cafes apart from the, frankly, exhorbitant cost of bog-stand...breakfast tea (£3.10 in February 2024) and the requirement to pay almost £1 extra for mushrooms with your breakfast.More

Fabulous little cafe near River. Extensive menu - all home made from memory including quiche and cakes. Had blue cheese open sandwich- very generous portion. Very tasty. Service was swift. Coffee good. Recommended.

We visited again just to see if it had improved. Same low standard of customer service. Staff was more interested in her phone than giving us service at the till. Food was basic. The chef looked dirty overalls / When food came it was basic...and greasy. We did not eat much. When we complained We was told : ho ok. and she never came back to answer the situation. We just left as all staff was congregating in the back. You could tell they was avoiding contact with us and talking about there night out. We won’t be going back and so we told friends and family to avoid when going to York Thanks for the last smutty reply to my previous visit. Just goes to show your height standards. I recommend you got on staff training for customer service and food hygiene. Ps I know what I’m talking about as I work for environmental health & my partner runs training company. Thank you.More

We came to York on the train for a service in the Minster on Saturday for the licensing of Layety Ministers and called in for lunch on the way to our hotel on Friday. We then called again for late lunch on Saturday and finally...had Sunday roast today. The staff and food are ALL so helpful, curtious and the food is amazing. Caters for all allergies, too. A must to call in for just a coffee to a three course meal. The apple pie 🥧 😋 is great to complete the visitMore

Great prices for the area, we stopped in for tea and cake and both the cheesecake and the chocolate cake were lovely. The staff were also all very friendly and the service was quick.
