The Perky Peacock

What a delightful little building - it was so unique inside from what I saw when I ordered. As it was a lovely day I sat outside with a view of the river which is a lovely way to enjoy my latte. Beautifully presented and well made drink. Service was efficient & friendly. I didn't have a cake (next time!) but they looked amazing!

The position of this Cafe next to Lendal Bridge and it's close proximity to the York Minster presents you with a first view of the medieval delights that await you just a short walk over the bridge. The coffee was not up to my personal preference however. I believe coffee should be made with full fat milk and alternatives used only when you request them. As a consequence the coffee lacked body and the flavours I expected.

The dodgy dungeons so they say, like the ambience and concept. Simple breakfast menu but enough for many different choices. I recommend this petite cafe to indulge in the soft and crisp autumn at York

Brilliant little riverside cafe. Great staff and good solid food options all hosted in a really interesting building or you can enjoy the river sitting outside. Worth a stop.

Lovely atmospheric place for a morning coffee. Literally felt like we sat in a castle's underground prison (because we were!) Coffee was nice and service was quick. We didnt have anything to eat but the sandwiches looked good. Only thing is there are no toilets here! They are the other side of the bridge in the library!
