Nice To See You

My partner and I were skeptical about eating inside anywhere on a very warm bank holiday lunchtime but are incredibly glad we gave this cafe a go! The prices did raise our eyebrows slightly but with it being York centre it seems fair. Besides- it was absolutely worth it! We had a BLT and salmon with poached eggs alongside a smoothie and fresh orange juice- cannot fault the food at all, generous, perfectly made portions, well seasoned and cooked to perfection! I’m surprised to see bad reviews here, particularly regarding staff. All were attentive and efficient. We saw them move tables to accommodate a family besides how busy it was. Perhaps what pulled me more to write a review was the waiter who attended to an elderly man on the table beside us. He had issues with his speech and struggled to place his order, but the waiter who served him (around 12 o’clock 25th Aug) was so very sweet and understanding, communicating a lot of the menu patiently. It was lovely to see. The atmosphere, though busy, was great and all staff were accommodating. The toilets also seemed very clean which is always a bonus! My only fault was we weren’t told clearly that we’d have to go and pay upfront (though worked this out eventually!) Will definitely be returning if in the area!

I absolutely adore this place. I had spotted a really good looking scone in the window so went in. We had green tea with lemon and ginger and honey. I had an orange and cranberry scone with butter, rhubarb/ginger jam and clotted cream. Simply scrumptious! I also had the beet root soup with mashed potato. Sounded very unique and I loved it.

Absolutely loved this place. Eggs Royale were fantastic. The flat white was genuinely one of the best coffees I've ever had. There is a kids corner that made our morning so much more peaceful. Tastefully decorated. Very accommodating staff and I loved the Polish additions. Will be back. ❤️

Came to York for the weekend, and this lovely little place was a few minutes from our hotel. Coffee was great, breakfast was delicious; I had the avacado on toast, & my partner had the hummus on toast, both with a poached egg. Staff were very quick despite the Café being full, we didnt try any of the cakes but they all looked fantastic.

We went here for breakfast with our dog - the staff are friendly, attentive and really helpful. They brought some water and biscuits for the dog, table water for us straight away and were quick to check back once settled for our order. They have an amazing selection of juices - the raspberry lemonade was delicious. We got the polish breakfast and halloumi toast - the most delicious eggs I have ever had. Really good position sizes and high quality food. We will be visiting again!! Its a wonderful spot - quite a bit of seating but the atmosphere is cosy and relaxed. There is also a small children's play area which looks wonderful - for anyone thinking of visiting with their kids.
