The flat white and latte are top-tier for York. The owner and his family run the place, which gives it a relaxed, welcoming vibe. Coffee is the clear focus here.

My son&#39;s gluten-free panini was a real treat. The bread was surprisingly soft, not dry at all. The filling looked fresh and generous. Came with a decent side salad and crisps too. He was very happy with it.

The Sunday roast here is a proper treat. The beef was so tender, and the Yorkshire pudding was spot on. Honestly, it&#39;s become a bit of a weekend ritual for me. A bit of a wait for a table, but that&#39;s to be expected.

The garlic aioli was a real highlight, so fresh and creamy. The hot honey dip was a bit of a letdown though, not much heat to it at all. I do appreciate when the flavours are clear and the ingredients feel high-quality.

The portions here are huge! We shared a main and still had leftovers to take home. Really good value for money, left feeling totally full.

As a coeliac, the gluten-free menu here was a relief. They had more than just the usual one salad option, which is rare. The staff knew their stuff too, didn&#39;t make me feel like a hassle.

Service was really on point. We dined in and everything ran smoothly, staff were attentive without hovering. Even noticed they handled a takeaway order just as well. Food was good, but the service stood out.

The mixed grill for two was a solid choice. Plenty of food, cooked fresh. Flavour was good. Couldn&#39;t finish it all. Good value for the portion size.

Been coming here for years. Their flat white is consistently good, one of the best in the neighbourhood. It&#39;s my regular spot for a proper coffee.

I stop by with my dog almost every week. The staff are so friendly, and the croissants are always fresh and flaky. It&#39;s a nice little spot to unwind for a bit.

The team really made our engagement feel special. They surprised us with a complimentary glass of bubbles, which was a lovely touch. The cocktails we ordered were spot on too &ndash; a well-balanced negroni is a great way to start an evening like that.

Popped in for a quick pint. Ended up staying way longer because of the live blues from &#39;Bad Saloon&#39;. Great vibe, friendly crowd. Solid tap list too. Just what I needed.

Cosy spot with a relaxed vibe. The wine list had some interesting local options that paired nicely with the evening.

Lovely old building near the Shambles. The kids&#39; lunch menu was a lifesaver for our little one, decent portions and simple stuff they&#39;d actually eat. Made the whole thing much more relaxed.

The vegan chili was really fresh, you could tell it was made with good ingredients. It didn&#39;t feel like an afterthought. The rest of the menu looked good, but I was happy with my choice. Nice, simple spot.

Been coming here for years, and the pizza&#39;s always spot on. Noticed they&#39;ve kept the prices fair even with everything going up lately. That&#39;s rare these days.

A proper old pub, the kind that feels lived-in. The cellar&#39;s the thing though - they&#39;ve got Dick Turpin&#39;s coffin down there. A bit of a weird, but interesting, touch to the place.

Been coming here for years, and the live music nights are what keep me coming back. It&#39;s always a good vibe, not too loud, just right for a relaxed evening. The band last Friday was spot on.

Great spot for a pint inside the city walls. Their rotating cask ales are the main draw for me &ndash; tried a lovely local bitter that paired perfectly with the relaxed, historic vibe. Live music some nights adds to the atmosphere. A solid choice.

Rooms are clean, warm, and well-stocked. Fine for a short city break. The minibar selection was surprisingly decent, had a nice local craft beer that hit the spot after a long day. Could use a couple more wine options by the glass though.

Large lamb doner for two, still had leftovers. Good size, not greasy which is a plus. The salad was crisp and fresh. Decent value for the money.

Service is quick and friendly even when busy. Staff handled the queue well, didn&#39;t feel rushed. Good for a working lunch.

The beer selection here is a proper treat. I loved the Peasholm Pale, really crisp and refreshing. Their Irish Cream Porter was a nice surprise too &ndash; smooth with a hint of chocolate. Spent a happy hour just working my way through the taps.

The fish and chips here are spot on. Properly crispy batter, the chips are fluffy inside. My little dog was welcome too, which was a nice surprise. A solid choice for a classic seaside meal.

The haddock in the fish and chips was so fresh and flaky, cooked to order. A solid choice for a casual dinner. 🐟

Good spot for the match. Lots of screens, decent beer selection. The memorabilia on the walls is a nice touch, gives it a proper pub feel.
