This is the quintessential place for high tea. The teas are delicious; the sandwiches are…read moresucculent; and the scones so buttery. The cream tea is especially fantastic. The service is attentive and the decor/ambience is absolutely spot on. If you visit York, you simply must go.

We came for afternoon tea in the tea room. This was my first experience of afternoon tea and it was…read morea good one. Our server was very nice and had suggestions for us whenever we asked. I was not too into tea but enjoyed both that I tasted. The sandwiches are good (I enjoyed the ham one) and we were able to request more sandwiches if needed. My favorite was the cranberry scone with jam and butter. The desserts were ok but went well with some Christmas coffee. The pianist was also very good and probably under appreciated.

Small little breakfast spot, but very cozy and excellent food! We both had the "light breakfast"…read morewhich is basically a full English breakfast but with one of everything (bacon, sausage, egg etc) instead of two...but it was more than enough food! And the price couldn't be better...about 6gbp pp! And the market was right outside our window so it was great to watch all the activity! Highly recommend for breakfast in the Shambles.

We tried to visit on Saturday evening, unsurprisingly it was super busy, as was the entire city…read morecenter. We entered the pub only to be told it was full. That was absolute fine. We understand that venues have capacities etc, however the obnoxious and arrogant young bar man proceeded to heckle us with "see ya then, bye" I found this attitude actually quite disgusting. I have run pubs before, and without patrons they would be nothing. If he had said something alone the lines of. "Sorry, maybe try again later when it has quietened down". If I was the landlord of the venue I'd be having serious words with the staff member in question. Disappointed to say the least.

It was about a 30-minute wait for a table and a fairly long wait for food, but it was all worth it…read more Tiny little place with abput 24 total seats, so larger parties are probably not a great idea. They do their best to turn tables, but diners, by and large, seem to linger. Rude, but that's people. The staff was very friendly and the food was great! We tried the Corn Fritters and then a special Asian Pork Belly Benedict... both excellent! Good coffee and tea and some nice-looking lattes, etc. Oh, and some great pastries and brownies! You can also get their baked items two doors down at Brew & Brownie Bake Shop! A breakfast/brunch-time winner!

The food here is AMAZING!! This place only serves pancakes, a few waffle dishes too. These…read morepancakes are beyond epic. They are made thin, similar to a crepe, but with the taste and texture of a pancake. They make both savory or sweet pancakes - with loads of varieties. And if you can't find something to your liking, they are willing to make a few changes to the items on their menu. This is a cute location, around the block from The Shambles, everyone here is friendly and helpful, the whole experience is delightful.

Really cool atmosphere with great food and service…read more I was worried because this place is a chain, but after walking in and seeing the vibe, I was put at ease. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and it was really amazing. Bacon and sausage and a hash brown and an egg, honestly you can't beat that. My only complaint is the coffee was a little too bitter. Otherwise I'll definitely be back.

I found Spring through Yelp as I was walking around York…read more The reviews were good and it was a small walk from my location. The cafe was open, airy and very clean. The staff were pleasant and welcoming. I was t very hungry so ordered the Porridge Oats with berries. It was a very generous portion and cooked to perfection; not too milky or lumpy; great consistency. My large cappuccino was rich and tasty, which I sipped from my window seat, allowing me to people watch. Spring lived up to its rating from my swift visit, and would certainly recommend it to other visitors.

SPLENDID!!! Absolutely splendid…read more Make sure you make a reservation or you will be waiting in the queue outside for empty table/last min cancellation. I'm so glad I asked to sit outside as the bathroom is right next to some table inside. I have an ick where I cannot eat comfortably knowing the toilet is right there. It started to rain a little and the staff was so kind to check on us to see if we want to have the umbrella opened. We didn't want to trouble them so we said no a few times hoping the rain will stop soon but it didnt stop. The staff was so nice to offer again to get us some shelter and we finally took it. They even change our utensils because it was rained on. The food is even better than their service. My god that was the best brunch I've had for a long time. It was both soooooo flavorful we were in awe.

Their menu has delicious items, including fresh juices, etc. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner which is pretty fab. Their cocktails looked amazing but we were there for breakfast so didn't indulge in those. I got their eggs benedict with a side of potatoes and oh my goodness, it was the dreamiest. I wanted to go back and get it again the next day but unfortunately other duties called. The service was so friendly and food is fresh. We would absolutely go back again on a future visit! Dying to try one of their fresh cocktails. :)
