Chocolates in York

“This is a tiny cafe above a bookshop. Both are queer spaces, full of flags, acceptance and super friendly staff. I can highly recommend the bi passionfruit cake. The cafe is a meeting place for young people who identify as LGBTQ+, so if you have an issue with them you're not at all welcome here. This cafe is absolutely perfect for students but, to reiterate, it is very small!”

“Very informative & helped us plan our day.”

“This is not a 5 star hotel but for the price I honestly don’t think you can beat the service of the staff (they were incredibly accommodating, engaging, and strived to make the time efficient and enjoyable). The food was adequate for dinner and breakfast was more then we were anticipating. Again, it isn’t the ritz, but we just kept commenting to each other, dang, this place is clean, organized and more than we would expect for the price. Well done!”

“Outstanding experience from start to finish. The welcome was genuine, service was swift, and the coffee was superb—rich flavour, perfect temperature, and silky milk. The café is spotless with a calm, relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to linger. After our earlier, underwhelming coffee and service at “Over The Rainbow,” this place completely turned our morning around. A true five-star café and an easy recommendation.”

“Good place to work with fast wifi, though not all tables have plugs. There's often children so it could get loud. Strong coffee.”

“Parlormade is always busy every time I visit — and for good reason! Their scones are delicious, and the cheesecake is absolutely amazing. I love this place so much and always end up taking some home!”

“Beautiful room, great location. Had a lovely overnight during our 2 week UK trip. We stayed in the 4 poster room - bed could have been a little more comfortable (thin mattress, no boxspring), but the room is sweet and the bathroom was nice and modernized with a spacious shower. The location is unbeatable - on a lovely quiet historic street while still being super close to the train station and great walking distance to the center. Self check in was seamless and easy. Would definitely recommend!”

“Lovely atmospheric place for a morning coffee. Literally felt like we sat in a castle's underground prison (because we were!) Coffee was nice and service was quick. We didnt have anything to eat but the sandwiches looked good. Only thing is there are no toilets here! They are the other side of the bridge in the library!”

“See the update at the end of this original review. We have been coming here since the very beginning. It started with a kiosk while the cafe was being finished. We were extremely impressed by the fabulous coffee and brilliant staff. When Caffe Valeria was opened we knew we had found “our” place! We visit often, both as a couple and some times with friends. The coffee is and the choice of cakes and pastries is excellent. The staff are always smiling and making us feel welcome. All the staff are helpful and kind. We must mention George, Liv and Olly as going above and beyond to make us feel special. Please don’t change a thing. Helen and David Update, George, Liv and Ollie (the stars of Valeria’s) have all left taking its heart with them. We no longer go there. Staff could be better trained, owner unpleasant. We feel we have lost something very special.”

“Absolutely fantastic little cafe right behind York Minster. It has about 3 tables (for two) inside the cafe but quite a good number of tables outside. We had coffee and cake, which were both excellent! Can totally recommend!”

“Excellent service from the staff. Very helpful, can guide you if required, or allow you to browse a very presentable stock of wines and spirits at leisure. The customer taster area is excellent, often with a good choice, which allow you to try new wines you might not have considered. The best store in this chain. Recommended.”

“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. :)”

“What a great little find. We found this place after a brisk stroll in the park and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Friendly service, great atmosphere, yummy coffee and the best bit was that we had to wait 10 minutes for the scones to finish baking! Delicious!”

“After a long time of lockdown, I have been remembered and looked after. Thanks”

“Me and my grandson jack visit once a week lovely food!!lovely staff !!”
