Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Whitwell-on-the-Hill

"When to go: Head down for a lazy brunch, take a book, order a large coffee, and while away a few hours. What to have: The partisan breakfast (meat, veggie and vegan available) cooked and served in a skillet, is comfort food at its best. For something a little lighter, try their Persian eggs with Medjoul dates and warming spices."

"09/05/2021: Had breakfast here a couple of times while staying in York. Absolutely fantastic food and great service. Best gluten free bread I have had and the cakes also great."

"Brew and Brownie fans will happily queue to sit in and enjoy the cracking coffee and delicious pancake stacks, but as it’s just across the road from the entrance to York Museum Gardens, why not order something to take away and enjoy in the Yorkshire sunshine?. Their sister cafe, Brew & Brownie Bakeshop, is just as lovely and they do takeaway salads, sandwiches and cakes too. Brew and Brownie, 5 Museum St, York YO1 7DT"

"Brew & Brownie have two locations in York, just doors apart from one another on Museum Street. One of the locations operates as a Bakeshop and the other as a great little cafe. Inspired by the seasons and the tastes from their countryside upbringings, the owners of Brew & Brownie serve a menu of sweet and savoury treats plus premium coffees and loose leaf teas."

"Cafe serving both breakfast and brunch with a variety of coffee, loose leaf teas and cakes. Chocolate survival boxes, coffee and Afternoon teas available for collection and delivery. Bakeshop open Monday-Sunday 9-4 and Cafe open Monday-Sunday 9:30-4."

"They’re renowned for their fancy afternoon tea, scrumptious cakes and desserts and lovely staff. While grabbing a table at Betty’s can often see you queuing for quite sometime (make sure to arrive much earlier than you anticipate on eating!); once inside, you’ll truly be spoiled for choice with the vast range of delicious lunch options available. I’d recommend: traditional afternoon tea, red pepper frittata or the Caesar salad."

"When anyone thinks of afternoon tea in York or even Yorkshire, probably the first name that springs to mind is Bettys. Going strong for over 100 years with queues out of the door come rain or shine, this very English institution ticks all the right boxes for a delicious afternoon tea. 6-8 St. Helen’s Square, York YO1 8QP – 01904 659142"

"What to have: Bettys are famous for their afternoon tea in York – a selection of classic sandwiches, miniature cakes, and a pot of tea. There is also a pink champagne or prosecco version, for those who want something a little stronger. No trip to York is complete without a trip to Bettys."

"A veggie and vegan paradise, this little deli-restaurant is strictly meat-free. Our personal favourite is the house Goji burger; a mushroom burger loaded with halloumi, salad and sweet potato wedges. There’s a sumptuous selection of cakes and little bits in the deli and even a breakfast menu, should you want to swing by on the way to work."

"An excellent vegetarian cafe, Goji is one of the city’s top-rated places to enjoy a vegan dish. This welcoming cafe is devoted to giving you healthy and sumptuous food, including vegan diets too. Having been providing the city with good food for a while now, this restaurant has a beautiful interior decor and a great atmosphere."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. Goji Café is a vegetarian café that also offers plenty of vegan dishes. Chef Wendy used to be a painter and now has a personal goal to make the customers’ day better by providing healthy food."

"Originally a fruit and veg shop, Mannion’s is now a no-reservations café and deli with queues out the door. Portions are generous so order one of the ginormous platters to share. All bread is made in house and the Welsh rarebit is a cheesy revelation."

"BrunchCharcuterieSmall PlatesInternationalCafeRestaurantYork. When to go: For a good catch up with an old friend. Grab a glass of wine and share a few dishes."

" Made to order liquid nitrogen ice cream with a variety of changing specials and vegan flavours. Currently open for takeaway. 15 Fossgate, York, YO1 9TA"

"Filmore and Union, located on Petergate, are all about natural and wholesome foods. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, serving organic coffee, fresh juices and smoothies, 100% gluten-free cakes and much more. 90% of the menu is gluten-free, and they’re a Coeliac Association Accredited café, and are happy to accommodate any dietary requirements with many dishes being vegan or vegetarian."

"For the fancy turmeric/matcha latte fanatics among you, you’ll love this one. Their avocado on toast is amazing, along with their scrambled eggs on toast with smoked salmon. With their menu options ranging from a full English, eggs, bagels, porridge and pancakes, you won’t leave hungry."

"Open for sit in or takeaway of delicious freshly baked scones, cakes and cream teas. Coffee, tea, soft drinks and alcohol also available. Afternoon tea and cream tea deliveries are also offered."

"Located just a short stroll from the city center is the National Railway Museum, which tells the story of rail transport in Britain. Home to more than a million artifacts, as well as over a hundred shiny steam trains, locomotives, and wagonway vehicles, it is remarkably the world’s largest railway museum. Established in 1975, the museum now occupies a series of gigantic railway sheds that were once the North York locomotive depot."

"We love the railway museum not least because Rebecca’s dad is a train enthusiast and could spend hours in here reading every tiny detail on every sign next to every exhibition!. Great for kids with live shows and hands-on activities. Entry is free, but if you can afford it, it’s nice to make a small donation to keep this attraction thriving in York for years to come."

"At DIG, you get to discover only the most exciting archaeological artefacts from the 2000 years of history hidden under the streets of York. Our four excavation pits are filled with Roman, Viking, Medieval and Victorian finds, so you can grab a trowel and dig up the clues that show how people lived in these times. DIG, St Saviour's Church, St Saviourgate, York YO1 8NN"

"Things to Do, Attractions"

"This 18th-century townhouse offers a glimpse into the tastes, fashions, and daily life of Georgian-era nobility. It began as the home of Viscount Charles Gregory Fairfax and then enjoyed brief stints as a gentlemen’s club, cinema, and dancehall before being restored to its Georgian-era glory."

"Fairfax House is one of the finest 18th century houses in the North of England. It was designed by John Carr of York, and has the best 18th century rococo decoration. Fairfax House is owned by York Civic Trust who have restored the house to its former glory."

"The Georgian-style Mansion House in York is the home of the city's Lord Mayors during their term in office. This is the earliest purpose-built house of this sort still in use – it predates the Mansion House in London by at least 20 years. The foundation stone for the building was laid in 1725, and it was completed seven years later, in 1732."

"Located in the center of the city, the Mansion House is the official residence of the Lord Mayor of York. But along with being a home, this historic house is popular with visitors. The Mansion House exhibits an impressive collection of paintings, silver and furniture."
