“ If I could give more than five stars, I would! This is hands down my favorite cafeteria—I come here all the time, and it never disappoints. The brownies are incredible. The food is consistently good, the coffee is amazing, and the service is always outstanding. Today, I decided to try their cheese scone, and wow, I thought they couldn’t surprise me anymore, but they did! It was served with jam, cream, and butter, and every bite was pure perfection. I loved it so much that I had to write this review while still eating! If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out. Highly recommend! Plus is a dog friendly place! ”
“ Called in this morning for take away coffee and bacon mushroom sandwich and a bacon &egg one. Both were fantastic we enjoyed them, still full now and it's nearly 4pm. Staff was brilliant. Will be calling again soon. ”
“ Stopped by for a Latte and a cheese scone and both were fantastic. Great atmosphere and nice menu selection. It's autumn now so I had a pumpkin spice latte which was excellent and the cheese scone, with onion chutney was lovely. The menu has lots of lite bites like sarnies and eggs on toast plus the cake display looked super tasty. ”
“ Great local cafe that is very popular. There was a bit of a queue but it was quite quick. There’s lots of choices on the menu and the service was efficient. The French toast was generously served and was delicious! Great atmosphere and dog friendly!! ”
“ What an experience! I had a large espresso with scrambled eggs on a gluten free toast. Amazed by the quality and taste ”
“ We had a lovely time at our visit - we tried a cruffin for the first time, what a great idea! It was delicious and the coffee was lovely. The staff were all so friendly. We will definitely be making a Sunday cruffin a tradition! X ”
“ Humble food. There are bacon sandwiches and bacon sarnies, then there’s a bacon bun from Haxby’s Curious Coffee. They are simply a cut above your normal bacon roll. 4 thick rashers of the local butcher’s bacon perfectly cooked to how you like it served in a lightly buttered sesame seeded roll. Ketchup if you want it but trust me, you don’t want to hide the flavours of that bacon. Oh and the coffee is damn good too . Service is friendly and efficient - what more could you want. So if you live in the area, save yourself a few quid on York city centre prices and treat yourself to quite possibly the best bacon sarnie out there. ”
“ Two of us came this morning for breakfast and coffee. The service is outstanding, attentive staff but not all over you, we asked for another few minutes to look at the menu as they were keen to take our order upon arrival. They were more than happy to give us a few extra moments to decide. The menu is right up my street, not pages and pages of different things, a very good selection of quality breakfast/brunch dishes along with sandwiches etc. I had creamy mushrooms on toast with additional poached eggs and my partner in breakfast craving crime had smashed avocado on toast, again with additional poached eggs. The food arrived a matter of minutes after ordering and was absolutely delicious, a very hearty portion of a dish done exactly how I wanted it. The atmosphere was superb, it’s a medium sized busy dining area and you don’t in any way feel in the way or on top of other people which was very nice. The cake/desert selection is top drawer and we took some away with us. ”
