Newgate Coffee Bar

As a regular visitor to York I have my favourite cafes, but today I decided to try somewhere different: The Newgate Coffee Bar which is along one edge of the Market. It has lots to recommend it: quirky decor, low beamed ceilings and a good menu choice-that said, I think that it perhaps appeals to a tourist market, or those looking for somewhere relaxed. It’s the complete opposite to cafes such as Cafe Nero or similar - sitting working on a laptop is a no, no! I think this is absolutely right for this cafe; it has a cosy vibe for a more leisurely coffee or meal. I sat at a corner table which gave me a great view of the outside seating area complete with table tennis table whilst I watched birds using the feeders in the tree nearby. The toilet facilities and more seating are on the first floor via a rather steep staircase decorated with items for sale:Green Man wares, framed photography etc Card payment only and also dog friendly.

Wunderbares kleines Café in absolut zentraler Lage. Sehr gemütlich, vor allem in der unteren Etage. Heimeilige Atmosphäre und tolle Kuchen. Immer einen gemütlichen Stop wert (witzige Toiletten übrigens). (Translated by Google) Wonderful little café in an absolutely central location. Very cozy, especially on the lower floor. Homely atmosphere and great cakes. Always worth a leisurely stop (fun toilets, by the way).

A lovely place to stop and have a brew and a cake Came here with my wife to get out of the rain and was pleasantly surprised. I'm not normally a cafe goer but I really liked the quiet and relaxed vibe this place gave off. The staff are nice and pleasant and the prices are good. There is a surprising amount of choice on the menu from burritos to cakes. I had the carrot cake (which was bloody delicious) and a pot of tea and my wife had an Iced tea and a fruit scone. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a quiet place to relax after a busy day shopping and sight seeing in york
