Espresso that's been paid attention to, and pancakes that are genuinely one of York's better things. The Bishopthorpe Road call if you want both done properly.

Coffee that's taken seriously, on a menu where the pancakes are the headline.

Lapin★ Everyday

The neighbourhood local on Bishopthorpe Road where good cakes and good coffee exist in equal standing, neither overselling the other. Solid, independent, and entirely at ease with what it is.

Stanley & Ramona★ Everyday

Coffee rotates on Bishopthorpe Road, which means there's usually something different since the last visit. The baking is taken seriously and earns its own reason to stop.

The Dark Horse Espresso Bar South Bank★ Everyday

A proper espresso bar on Bishopthorpe Road, one of York's better café streets. The coffee is taken seriously; the waffles are taken even more seriously.
