A wide and spacious university cafeteria at the campus of University of York that offers a wide arrange of foods and meals. We went here for a full on traditional English breakfast before classes and the workers are absolutely lovely. Especially the elderly ones managing the cash register that helped us navigate to find what we needed and informing us about their options and deals. Food was both tasty and cheap too. Great stuff.
