Nice little coffee shop in Helmsley. The coffee&#39;s good, and they have comfy sofas upstairs.

Decent spot in the arcade. Got a bit chilly but they had these local knitted blankets on hand. Nice touch. The covered outdoor bit is handy, and it&#39;s easy to get in with a wheelchair.

The eggs benedict was spot on, honestly some of the best I&rsquo;ve had. Coffee was great too, hot but not too hot. Just a solid brunch.

Serious coffee knowledge here. The barista asked a few questions and suggested a pour-over. It was incredibly smooth, one of the best I&#39;ve had. Cakes looked great too, maybe next time.

Quick bite during lunch break. The place is clean, music gives off a nice old-school vibe. Got my food fast, which is all I needed. Decent spot for a quick meal.

The lentil soup was the real star for me - so thick and flavourful. The burger was solid too, but that soup on a drizzly evening was just right.

The cakes look so fresh, definitely trying one next time!

A solid halal spot with decent variety. Staff could&#39;ve been a bit more cheerful, though.

The chicken katsu curry was spot on, and the latte was a nice pairing with it. A solid, satisfying meal in a pleasant spot. Just wish they had a more interesting beer or wine list to go with the food.

Wasn&#39;t sure about it, but the huge menu made it easy for our whole group to find something. Food came out fast and hot, which was perfect for a casual catch-up.

The ham and egg Benedict was the highlight for me. The eggs were perfectly poached, and the hollandaise was light and not too rich. The ham tasted really fresh, which I always appreciate. A solid choice for a healthier brunch option.

Just stopped by for a quick bite. The portions are huge for the price, honestly. Got the pasta and could barely finish it. Food was solid.

The team was really cheerful, even though we showed up near closing. They didn&#39;t rush us at all, which was nice. Food came out quickly and was still hot. Good service when you&#39;re cutting it close.

Popped in for a quick bite. The Portuguese custard tarts were the highlight, really lovely. The chilli bowls are still on the menu too. Staff were friendly and it&#39;s nice they allow dogs. Just a clean, simple spot for a break.

Perfect spot for a quick breakfast if you&#39;re in the area. Grabbed a coffee and their eggs on toast - simple but cooked just right. The coffee was spot on too. Nothing fancy, just a solid start to the day.

Stopped in early Saturday. Barista Astray was very welcoming, made a good flat white. Quick service, quiet spot to start the day. A solid local option.

Lovely little spot. I had the vegan quiche and a slice of carrot cake, both were fresh and tasty. The staff were really friendly and helpful, which made for a relaxed lunch. It&#39;s nice that they&#39;re so accommodating with dietary requests.

The best sandwich to have ever passed my lips and not to mention the sausage rolls/scotch eggs are top tier and delicious.Best service with the friendliest of faces topped with incredible coffee and even better coffee. You will not regret visiting here!

Bacon and brie panini was solid, good portion. The coleslaw was fresh, clearly homemade. Service was quick, which I appreciated on a working lunch. Fair price for what you get.

Decent spot for a quick lunch near the museum. Had the chicken sandwich, it was fine. Service was prompt, which I appreciated. Price is fair for the location. Nothing fancy, but it does the job.

The breakfast burrito is the one. Perfectly scrambled eggs, crispy hash browns inside, and a really good salsa verde. The cakes are a problem though &ndash; the lemon drizzle slice today was too good, had to get a second one to take away.

Flat white&#39;s the real deal here. Strong, smooth, and honestly a steal for the price. Quick service too. My go-to spot now.

Got there a bit late, but the staff were really decent about it. Coffee was spot on. Place was packed but still felt relaxed.

Found this place by accident. Had the vegan burger, really solid. Menu&#39;s got loads of options for different diets. Good value too.

Love the spot right on the market square. Perfect for a quick coffee break between sightseeing.

The coffee and cakes are lovely. I left my handbag behind by mistake and was so relieved to get it back a few days later, with everything still inside. Really speaks to the honest and thoughtful service here.

The owner is so lovely, really makes you feel welcome. The baklava was incredible, perfectly sweet and flaky. Grabbed a doner wrap to share with friends and it was the star of the table. Such a nice spot for a casual catch-up.

The pizza here is pretty good, a solid choice. It&#39;s a decent spot, just a few minutes from the station which is handy. The menu has a fair few options, though the service was a little slow on a busy Friday.

Took the kids here, they loved the play area. My soup and sandwich were decent, nothing fancy but hit the spot. Good for a casual lunch when you need to keep them entertained.

The lunch deal is a steal - two of us ate for under &pound;20. Portions are huge, honestly couldn&#39;t finish mine. Good, honest food for the price.
