Coffea is a lovely cafe right across Gillygate from York St. John University. Some coffee shops are quirky or chic; this one feels like a welcoming living room. The regulars get to know each other, and there is a revolving door of students and wandering tourists.
Chris and Katarina offer many different sandwich and salad options, from traditional scones with cream and jam to huevos rancheros and quesadillas to pastries to chorizo and aioli to a grilled cheese spiced up with curry, onions, olives--a burst of flavor in a comfort food that is a personal favorite.
Occasionally, they even host a musician for an intimate acoustic show. If you're on the north side of York and looking for a flavorful lunch and tea or coffee, this is the place to go!
I had the huevos rancheros at this amazing cafe today and they were outstanding!! What a wonderfully inviting spot with great service and an amazing menu! Highly recommend!!!
We love a weekend breakfast/brunch. This place ticks all the boxes. Eggs cooked to perfection and it's clear Coffea place a big focus on freshly prepared ingredients and big flavours. Cosy, warm, clean and friendly atmosphere. Vegan and dietary options excellently catered for. This place has an edge. We will most certainly be back!
Such great service, we've been coming here for ages now and feel like welcome friends. The food is always outstanding and the atmosphere is homey.
Coffea has a really good sandwich menu, which are all made fresh to order. They have several breads to choose from too, and its very reasonably priced. Nice coffee too!
Katerina is the owner and is a kitchen wizard - genuine hospitality and truly delicious fare await, on the doorstep of historical Gillygate. Best omelettes and waffles in York as far as we're concerned.

Small but welcoming and friendly owners. Always pleased to give them some custom and enjoy their breakfast selection loads Never feel rushed to finish.
Lovely little place. Sausage sarnie and black coffee were both spot-on, and owner makes you feel very welcome.
Just popped in for a coffee but very pleased with the friendly service
Lovely food, friendly service. Will go again
