What an amazing hidden gem. We were walking the length of the city walls and come across this. Don’t be afraid to explore and enjoy both the roof and the Barbican through a hidden door. Staff are more than happy to chat too.
BEST COFFEE SHOP IN YORK!
Lovely atmosphere, friendly workers and great specialty coffee. A must stop on a visit to york, or great place to hang if you live in or around the city. Located right on the historic city walls. Definitely a hidden gem!
Delightful historical cafe inside the walls. Delicious food and a calming atmosphere! A little chilly today on the battlement roof but wonderful views. A must for anyone visiting the walls.
You can't miss this lovely cafe and grab Yorkshire tea with a view. Inside is super cozy like from a movie and outside looks very cool.
This coffee shop is truly a hidden gem. Set in the Roman barbican, it is probably the best location for a coffee shop I have ever seen. The shop is tastefully decorated and the warm atmosphere is perfect for relaxing with a friend and chatting. The tray cakes were delicious and the drinks were execu
We visited this place first thing on a Saturday morning and enjoyed a latte - one of the best coffees we’ve ever had (and we have high standards and drink a lot of coffee!). The interior is really fun and it’s great to sit inside what feels like a very medieval setting whilst sipping on a coffee. Th
Lovely and quaint cafe, clearly popular and very welcoming! Love the building and how it's located on the wall of York!! Highly recommend!
Visited this on our last day in York and so glad we did. The coffee was fantastic and the place is incredible with its medieval history. There are multiple levels and each area is incredible. We had coffee daily on our vacation and this place was my favorite coffee shop of all that we visited.
This coffee shop is my happy place whenever I’m in York. Even in winter it’s great sitting on the barbican or the roof with a cuppa. The coffee’s great too, just how I like it. If I lived in York I’d be there everyday.
It has a wonderfully unique experience being high on the walls with a somewhat medieval feel. Except everything feels incredibly current and the range of food and drink completely divine. I sat outside on the terrace and enjoyed the sunshine. The soup of the day was wonderful and a pot of tea was ex
Great opportunity for a drink and toilet stop when doing walls walk. Amazing to sit up top on a sunny day. The fact it’s all housed inside this old building is incredible.
Surrounded by history,over 3 floors,great seating,great atmosphere.
Unexpected find along the walls of York, with delicious coffee and a fabulous atmosphere. Climb up the stairs to the mid floor or into the roof. Team are welcoming and friendly - and the American head barista is exceptionally skilled.
Excellent service on a quiet Saturday, stunning place to have a coffee, great coffee and scones, amazing views from the top of the gatehouse , and some stunning artwork for sale x 🙌💕🥰
Wonderful place to tuck in and study for classes. Wonderful Biscoff Brownie and warming coffee and teas in a cozy, historic setting. Over the course of 3-4 hours, had the vanilla latte, the London Fog, and the apple mint tea. Options to eat outside on the roof.
Very iconic cafe in the heart of York. I loved their location and their decorations are fantastic. You can sit on the roof and enjoy the view from up there. Their coffee is so tasty and staff are so nice
I've driven almost 250 miles to sample a coffee served in a unique place. Its one of the gates or 'bars' in York. It's situated in walmgate bar which is one of the gates to the city centre, and roughly about 10 15-minute walk from the centre of city.
The coffee served here is from a London Mancheste
This place is a must visit for visitors to York! A nice little cafe with fantastic ambience in a historic gatehouse. Even the toilet is adorable. Outdoor seating is available if the weather is nice and even a cosy fireplace seating area inside for when it's vile out.
Fresh, herby Focaccia bread with the added bonus of beautiful filling. (I could have eaten the bread by itself.) Lovely, fresh and hot. Complemented our Ginger beer very well. Great service.
Excellent stop on our wall walk.
