We love go in here for tea/coffee and a bun as break from York shopping. It's like stepping back into the good times of quiet, genteel cafes with personal table service from order to bill. Good food. Lovely quiet atmosphere. Flawless Staff.

**Review: Café 21, Fenwick, York** Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Café 21, nestled within Fenwick in York, offers a dining experience that stands out, not just for its culinary excellence but also for the impeccable service that accompanies it. During a recent visit to celebrate my first anniversary, I was treated to a morning repast that truly set the tone for the day. The breakfast menu is a symphony of classic choices crafted with an evident flair. The flat white coffee was a revelation — robust, smooth, and brewed to perfection. It's the kind of coffee that wakes up not just the body but also the soul, setting the stage for the courses to follow. The eggs Benedict were a particular highlight. Perfectly poached eggs with a velvety hollandaise sauce, served on a tender muffin, it's the epitome of breakfast luxury. And as if this wasn't enough, the buttered croissant was sheer delight, flaky on the outside, soft within, and meltingly buttery. But beyond the food, it's the warmth and attentiveness of the staff that elevates the experience at Café 21. Every member of the team makes it their mission to ensure diners are comfortable, satisfied, and genuinely enjoying their time. Celebrating an anniversary, especially a first, is always special. But Café 21 made it even more so. Their commitment to culinary excellence, combined with an unwavering focus on customer satisfaction, truly makes them deserving of all five stars. Whether it's a special occasion or a simple desire for an outstanding breakfast, Café 21 at Fenwick in York should be at the top of everyone's list.

Popped in here whilst taking a look around Fenwick department store, originally just for a drink and a sit down but was tempted in by the cakes too. Was not disappointed, with the cakes being extremely tasty and the drink refreshing. Recommend the Gâteau Esterházy if you like Ferrero Rochers. Prices are what you'd expect given the nature of the store it's located in and the fact it markets itself as a bit more up market. The staff were all extremely pleasant, dressed in smart uniforms and such.

Great cafe with a feel of a silver service restaurant. We were some of the last customers of the day so we did feel there was an urgency to clear up and move us on hence the atmosphere rating. However, the coffee and cake were lovely.

Great service from Café 21. We wanted an early afternoon tea and they were happy to oblige as long as we booked ahead. There was plenty of food and it was all of a high standard and filling - we even took some home. The tea was endless and our servers were so polite and helpful. For £20 per head we thought this was good value for money in the very plush surroundings and in the centre of York. We will all return and recommend to others.
