Came here early morning as nowhere else seemed to be open about 8am. Great little coffee shop right on the waterfront, reasonably priced. Wasn't too busy so relatively quick service. Only reason for 4 stars the milk jar I recieved for my coffee looked extremely dirty like it hadn't been washed, can't complain otherwise. Lovely bacon sandwich and coffee. If your walking by its a great place to call and have a sit down.

Nice quaint coffee house serving very good coffee and interesting selection of cakes and sandwiches. However the cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired with little attention to hand washing even after one of the severs had stroked and fed a dog! And yes they allow dogs in... During these times, hygiene should be a top priority which is definitely not the case here.
When we arrived there were no staff present, we were unsure where to sit/what to do, given covid so I went upstairs and was told to sit anywhere downstairs. Went to order at the makeshift counter outside, waited in line for 15mins and found out that they forgot to charge the ipad so every time an order was made, they had to run upstairs before taking payments. The food was a 15/20min wait, even though we were told 5 minutes. The tea was awful, I'm not sure how a cup of Yorkshire tea can taste so bad, but it did. The cutlery was dirty & when the food arrived, the bread was so chewy, you'd think they left it out in the open for 24hrs prior to serving. I've lived in York for over 2 years and this was the worst food experience I've ever had. During a pandemic, you'd think a business would be more organised. Not this one. All the problems would've been solved if they have 1 person cooking, 1 person on drinks, 1 taking orders and 2 serving/cleaning. They had enough staff in to do this, but they just weren't organised at all.
Lovely little coffee and cake cafe, right next to the river. They also do fantastic looking sandwiches with all sorts of fillings in wedges of fresh bread. If if it's a dry day then you can sit outside on there querky tables and chairs under the arches and on the cobbled street. If it's wet then then you might struggle to get a seat inside but if you can you won't be disappointed. Sitting inside the medieval Postern Tower. Staff were very nice and helpful which tops off a nice pit stop from walking the wall. of the wall
Lovely little tea room opened early for customers. Lovely scenic view right next to the river. Friendly welcoming service.
