I went for a walk around York looking for bakery that sold almond crossiants. This place had them in the window & I couldn't resist. Went in had a lovely americano with hot milk & a yummy almond crossiant. Highly recommend!

This is one of our favourite cafes in York, coffee is amazing, best mocha in York. Cake selection is outstanding, today I had a blackcurrant Bakewell tart, so delicious. Food is very authentic Italian, it is run by an Italian family. Can’t recommend it enough.

Absolutely wonderful little gem of a cafe/restaurant. Traditional and amazingly tasty food available to see. Italian chef and staff who were all approachable and friendly. Fabulous experience, we ate in the little sitting area at the back of the shop, was a really wonderful experience.

A wonderful little cafe, great for a quick ‘pit stop’. Staff were friendly and accommodating, drinks were hot and tasty. All cakes looked great and if our choice of bake-well and fruit tart was anything to go by, they taste just as good (our co-dinners plates looked fresh and flavoursome). Well pleased and we recommend you visit if you are in the area and need a quick rest!
