What a great little cafe. Whenever I'm in York, I always stop by for food. Is a little bit expensive but worth it. The staff are very attentive and friendly. It has a great atmosphere and clean.

Hidden away behind the office buildings, but worth the hunt! Nice little venue, clean & modern with outdoor seating too. Friendly welcome and we had a great vegan breakfast. Good coffee too 👌
