Been here a few times. Always lovely service and great food. Got a takeaway this morning. The food travelled perfectly and they even threw in something for the dog! A welcome addition to the Fulford community.

Lee is an unbelievably friendly and welcoming host host whose family run business shows the love with the excellent atmosphere and 11/10 quality of food. I came with my partner on a Saturday and they were full, we waited outside for a table due to the popularity but it was 100% worth the wait. We waited around 5-10 mins before being seated and instantly greeted and made to feel at home. Me and my partner ordered a cappuccino which arrived quickly and tasted brilliant, the size and taste was worth the price which compared to other places in York is relatively cheaper! We both ordered the eggs Benedict which without exaggeration was the best one we’ve eaten, the combination of the taste and the love that clearly gets portrayed in the food makes it an amazing eat for a fantastic price. Will be coming back regularly.

Visited three times during our stay in York. Varied menu, excellent food, great service, friendly fellow diners. Can't praise this delightful little cafe enough. Owners are delightful people. We were sad our stay in York and visits here came to an end
