We popped in for breakfast on a Friday morning as a table of two. Staff not very welcoming but it was a tad busy so we just sat down. We both opted for the Spring Breakfast. They don’t call it a full English as half the stuff isn’t included. You can’t have fried egg, just poached or scrambled only. I understand having to pay extra for hashbrowns, but £3.50 for bog standard baked beans is outrageous. We saw the guy next to us had also added beans (obvs a moneymaker for them) and saw it was a decent portion so we only added one to share. We also added the hash browns which were £4! It took about 30 minutes for the food to come out, which I don’t mind, but things were cold. The poached eggs were overcooked. Hash browns barely cooked. No butter with the toast. Bits in the coffee. When you ask for sauce, you’re granted a measly little pot. When you tot it up, the breakfast came to £17.75 each (£14 base each then £7.50 for the extras). Wouldn’t go back unfortunately. It totalled £43 with drinks, which I feel is too steep for the quality.

A delightful cafe on Fossgate serving excellent coffee and tasty pastries. Ordered 2 flat whites, a croissant and a date & cinnamon oat bar, so yummy! Best croissant hubby has ever had. Cheery staff and low key, non-touristy vibe. What a great way to start the day!

My second visit to York and I always come to Spring Espresso for breakfast/brunch. Their food is amazing and their service is top notch. :)

I’m definitely adding Spring Espresso to my preferred list of places for coffee/ lunch when I visit York. It’s a good size with plenty of seating and different table sizes across 2 areas, one of which is a step up. Choose a table then order at the counter. There’s a very tasty looking menu with quite a lot of egg dishes but it was too early for lunch so I just ordered an Americano and a piece of millionaire shortbread. My order arrived quickly. I asked for oatmilk on the side and was pleased to get a really good amount. The shortbread was delicious; probably the best I’ve eaten anywhere, a very light base, creamy caramel and quality chocolate topping. The cafe was busy but there was plenty of room for more; customers were across the age range and included people working in laptops. Toilet facilities are on the raised level and tucked away. I will definitely be visiting again!

Pancakes were tasty and a solid portion size. Coffee was flavourful and rich. However, although we ordered via the QR code as suggested, it took a long time to be served even though there was only one other couple in there. We went up to ask after 15 minutes and they hadn't seen the order. Might have just been a tech issue but we didn't receive any information. Judging by other reviews, possibly a one-off?

A nice, cozy place, cute decor. Friendly staff. Loved my porridge (you can choose from two options) and coffee. Didn't quite enjoy the French toast: it tasted a bit like the bread was somewhat stale. On the downside: the waitress never looks at the diners. We had to walk up to the bar to ask for bill, cutlery, our dessert, hot water etc.

Great breakfast spot. Kids loved the American pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Really friendly staff who advised us to split the pancakes between the kids and also put an amazing Yorkshire rose on my coffee. Reasonably priced and most importantly coffee was excellent.

One of the best coffees that I've ever had. I wish I could visit them more while I was in York - will definitely revisit if I'm in the city again. The food choices are really good as well. Excellent spot for brunch. Check them out.

Lovely cafe. Opens at 8, which is very convenient. By 9am the cafe was full with no empty tables left, so come early or after the breakfast hours :) a very popular place, it seems The coffee is good, they also serve breakfast and some baked goods. The prices are reasonable and the location is very central. Highly recommended
