Filmore & Union

I stopped by here to take away as I was pretty short of time! But the food looked so good it was hard to decide, I was a bit gutted I hadn't allowed time to get a salad because there selection of salads looked absolutely INCREDIBLE!! Anyways I took a piece of their vegan quiche which was made with cashew cream and the pastry on it was perfectly crumbly and crisp and the flavours were so GOOD!! And then I struggled to choose which cake I wanted but I went for the pistachio rose sponge. It had a gorgeous texture and the icing was super yummy and the right ratio of cake to icing too! Id highly recommend.

Amazing food and cakes, great little hidden jem for vegetarians and vegans in York. Bella and George are both amazing friendly and helpful, great service and a jolly happy vibe from all the staff and customers too. Great to eat in or takeout. We ate in for lunch and got takeout for tea later. Delicious.

I have been here a couple of times and it is no on my 'go to' list of places. The food is amazing, full of flavour, freshly prepared and with many great choices available. The menu changes so there are always specials available. The selection of salads are amazing too... really hard to decide which to have or rather which to leave out! The service is wonderful. Very friendly staff who can give helpful recommendations and make you feel very welcome and unhurried. Great range of drinks too and I loved the flowering teas. Definitely worth a visit, even if its to grab a take out! Excellent value for money.

We went for a weekday lunch after several recommendations. The beetroot and onion tart was really rich and tasty, the salads all lush (carrot and butterbean in a garlic rosemary dressing was amazinggg). Coffee great, tried the cafeteria and soy cappuccino. The pistachio cake was delightful and the vegan scones a rare treat too. Can’t wait to visit York again so I can sample some more plant based deliciousness.

My fourth visit here - I had their salad platter with halloumi. Lentil avocado rocket salad and spiced cauli salad were excellent. Portion of halloumi seemed a little small but I was full afterwards so perhaps that was wise?! Smoothie was tasty - an orangey mangoey one this time but I’ve also had a good green smoothie here. My sister had the cashew cream tart (also had caramelised onions in) which was absolutely delicious! Nice atmosphere, always busy so on this occasion we got the slightly draughty table.

One of my absolute favourite places to eat in York, whether it's for cake and coffee, lunch, or afternoon tea. Don't come here if you are rendered livid by having to queue for a table or wait for freshly prepared food to be made for you, but if you appreciate what these two things signify, you will be happy you went. My drug of choice for pudding is the sticky toffee pudding (with custard, for me, but you can have cream or ice cream if you must), and I am rendered hysterical (on the inside; gormless smile on the outside) if I arrive and see that it's on the menu. In fact I order it straightaway, before it sells out, as that would be the day ruined. Staff all great, and Imogen is wonderful :)
