A reliable Fossgate independent where the flat white holds up and the shortbread has developed a proper local reputation.

The shortbread is the headline, and the flat white is good enough not to mind.

Node Coffee★★ Specialty

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

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.

Kiosk Cafe★★ Specialty

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