Fossgate0.0 mi from Fossgate centrelast reviewed April 2026

A kiosk counter on Fossgate running more roasters than most York cafes with actual rooms. V60 and espresso rotating with whoever's on.

A Fossgate kiosk rotating DAK, Fort, Scenery, and Darkwoods, which is not how kiosks usually go.

What we love

  • Rotating guest reel: DAK, Fort, Scenery, Harmony, Module, Darkwoods, all named UK specialty roasters
  • V60, espresso, and batch brew, all from the current rotation
  • Retail beans from the current guest roaster
  • Coffee-literate counter: staff know what's on and why it's there

Node Coffee★★ Specialty

Oskar knows the beans and will say so. Multiple brew methods, retail bags worth buying, and an owner the regulars talk about.

Le Specialty Coffee★★ Specialty

Filter coffee with fruit tasting notes that the sourcing justifies. One of the few places in York where specialty on the door means something in the cup.

ALMA★ Everyday

Family-run independent that doubles as a gifts shop, with a downstairs room that's properly odd. The mocha is the drink to order.
