Museum St0.2 mi from City Centre centrelast reviewed April 2026

The flat white is one of the better cups in the city centre, and the food is strong enough that the coffee earns its place alongside it rather than hiding behind it. Come for brunch, leave impressed by both.

A brunch room where the coffee isn't apologising for itself.

  • Oat flat white draws consistent praise as one of the better city-centre cups in York
  • Coffee treated as equal billing with the food; neither is an afterthought
  • Brunch-focused with locally sourced fare

Divine Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

York's only in-house roaster, with a single-origin programme spanning Kenya, Colombia, and Brazil. The beans in your cup are the same ones shipping to subscribers across the UK.

200 Degrees Coffee Shop★★ Specialty

200 Degrees roasts in Nottingham and the beans come here: single origins on the menu with tasting notes, retail bags on the shelf. The Spanish latte has a following for a reason.

La Bottega Milanese★ Everyday

Italian-style espresso bar in the city centre, with flat whites that earn the description. The kind of place that rewards a coffee stop without requiring you to care about it more than you do.
