A great place for cake or lunch if you are in the area.
We shared the cauliflower soup with a cheese scone with cream cheese and chutney topping (usually come with ham). Top notch cheese scone. Fluffy on the inside and a good crunch on the outside.
A good selection of loose leaf teas - I had the gunpowder green which was lovely.
We didn't have any room for cake, but based on the options on the display counter and how good the scone was, it all looked very tasty.
They have seating at the back on the ground floor, as well as a few tables upstairs.
They have plenty of vegetarian options. They also offer a gluten-free / vegan afternoon tea on their menu (pre booking essential).
The gift shop across the road, Birdies Perch, is well worth popping into if you have time.
What a gorgeous vintage tearoom that I happened upon in Clifton. About a 10/15minute walk from the centre of York
Such friendly attentive service, the cake display was amazing as soon as you walk in the door. Lots of seating indoors and a couple of tables outside.
They do breakfast, sandwiches, baked potatoes, soup, various afternoon/cream teas and children's options. Plus lots of choice in teas, coffees and hot chocolates.
I went for a large hot chocolate with flake which was creamy, chocolatey and very nice. Plus coffee and walnut cake which was the best I ever had. Perfect combination of coffee buttercream and walnut sponge with neither overpowering, very moreish.
Would recommend if you want really nice homemade food and amazing cakes at a good price. Loved the whole vintage theme, with the ladies serving also dressed up.
Highly recommend! Had a surprise baby shower here for my friend today, afternoon tea. What an amazing place! Food was so tasty, huge portions, staff really friendly, helpful and went to extra mile to make today absolutely perfect. Thank you again!!
We love it here. We've never eaten in but we definitely need too. We've had their cheese and fruit scones, lots of their cakes and I recently got a sandwich to takeaway. It was so fresh and delicious.
The scones are so big I have to slice it in three!!! :-)
This cafe is a little gem!
I went for afternoon tea as part of a hen party. As a vegan I’m always a little worried as to if places can cater for me, but they were fantastically accommodating, and the sandwich choices, scones and cakes were all really nice. They also had no problem catering for people in the group who were gluten intolerant.
The staff were lovely and friendly, and the cafe was pretty.
I will definitely be going back at some point.
We went here for a hen do celebration afternoon tea and it was everything I hoped it would be. The food was amazing - and 2 guests who had gluten free afternoon tea were especially positive about it! We took our own Prosecco and just generally had a lovely time. I will definitely be going back to sample more cake! The ladies working there were so friendly and it just feels good to know we're supporting an independent business. Highly recommended!
Amazing afternoon tea. The cakes are really delicious. Very much recommended!
If you have never been make the effort to pop along to this tearoom. You will not be disappointed. One of Yorks best kept secrets. The array of cakes is amazing and the afternoon tea is second to none. Be prepared you will be taking some home. D'licious by name and delicious in taste.
Spent a lovely few hours in this delightful cafe, celebrating my friend's birthday recently. Our experience was second to none from the welcome we received to the delicious afternoon tea we were presented with. My friend had the gluten free option and for once, she felt catered for with such a thoughtful menu. I had an afternoon tea in Bettys a few months ago and I can honestly say the food, atmosphere and the team at Cakes d'Licious was far more enjoyable. Thankyou. We will be back
Awesome tea room with beautiful cakes, great retro 1940s themed and the staff are amazing. Took my mum for her birthday surprise and the staff could not do enough for all of us. The cakes are so nice we all had a doggie bag to take home and it's just a great little place. I would recommend anyone to go but at the same time don't want it to change. Thank you Nikki and everyone we will be back
