From the lovely warm greeting when we stepped in the door everything about our visiting here was amazing.
We both had the eggs Benedict which was the best ever on a cold and sunny October lunchtime we sat out in the courtyard. I could have eaten everything on the menu. Shame I don’t live in York as I’d be here every week. Yum.
Brilliant breakfast as always. Super friendly staff and very accommodating. Gets busy but worth the wait! The little biscuit that comes with the coffee is perfection 😋
Have been to Mannions & Co a few times, it’s one of my favourites in York, I wish I could say it was a hidden gem but I think most people have gotten to realize how great this place is. I love their sandwiches! My only complaint is I wish they had even more space because of how good it is but I can’t penalize them for that!
I think this is the best brunch spot in York. There are other good options nearby, but the food here is a level above.
The options are classics, but with a twist (eggs Benedict with truffle and brown butter hollandaise, for example). The portion sizes are decent, definitely leaving the table full. Ingredients local and high quality. We had no qualms at all.
The coffee was nice also, and we finished with a brownie. I’d tried the one in Helmsley, and this one was just as nice - among the best I’ve had.
100% recommended - a must visit.

Our initial experience of being told we could only order lunch (not just cake and coffee) due to the fact that they wanted to maximise their earning potential was not what I would call a good experience. I presume when the restaurant is less busy, it’s OK to order whatever you like without as they are happy for any business.
Perhaps put a sign outside stating their is a minimum order during peak times because this is exactly what your are insinuating.
We arrived with our overseas visitors after singing the restaurant’s praises. As tables were limited we had to sit at 2 separate tables which was absolutely no problem. However, told me told that one of the adults had to sit with the children was an absolute joke. Never ever have I experienced this. Totally took away from the experience of enjoying a meal with our friends whom we had not seen for a few years. The only reason we stayed was not to cause to much of a fuss due to our guests.
Their saving grace as always is the food.
Their was a mix up with the bill at the end which without the first couple of discrepancies would have not been an issue.
I will not be returning despite of how good the food is.
This place is very good I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to do brunch. Coming in I wasn't sure about how the food was going to be but I was very pleasantly surprised. The salmon on toast with guacamole and scrambled eggs was brilliant and disappeared before my eyes rather quickly. I also got to try the turkish eggs with pita bread and can safely say those were amazingly prepared as well. The coffee was also very good, I personally recommend the Iced latte. I will be coming back again.
Perfect little cafe in York. I was looking for somewhere different on our visit and so glad I found this place. If you have to wait 5-10 mins for a table you know the food is good! I'd love to return when it's warmer so I can try sitting outside. Highly recommend.
Had lunch here on a Saturday. Must have timed it just right as we only waited a few minutes for a table. Service was great and the food was excellent. Sloppy joe sandwich was delicious.
I opted for this venue for my final lunch in York based on the queue for a table, which I happily joined.
As soon as a table was available, I was shown through to the back of the Bistro. There's a drinks menu, and the food available for the day is located on the chalkboards around the venue.
The gentleman managing the Bistro was doing a fantastic job. He had a lovely way with all the waiting customers, was clearing tables, and to be fair doing any other job required whilst it was busy.
Items came off the menu temporarily throughout my visiting whilst more was being freshly prepared.
I opted for Earl Grey tea, smoked bacon and Cumberland sausage sandwich on brown, and chocolate orange cake.
The waiting staff were polite, friendly, and super helpful.
Family friendly including the dog. Facilities were clean and well kept, there were steps down and back up to the toilet.
Another place that's definitely worth queuing for.
Absolutely wonderful. Friendly stuff and best cheese cake ever. Coffees and cakes are beautiful presented and enjoyably atmosphere with outdoor seating. Will definitely come back for food, they good gorgeous!
