A fourteenth-century fortification on the Ouse, and a latte that earns its keep. The setting is the reason, but the coffee doesn't coast.
Coffee that holds its own in a setting that doesn't need it to.

York's coffee crowd comes here for the coffee, not the food. Poppy's flat whites are why, and the precision behind them is exactly what the name promises.
Runs on York Emporium beans, with retail bags to take home if you want to continue the cup. The food is serious enough that the flat white shares the billing.
The brunch draws the room and the coffee holds its own once you're there. Come for the Turkish eggs.
