Hoxton, you sly devil â you really do know how to charm a Yorkshire crowd.
In a town that treats cafĂ© culture like a competitive sport, Hoxton effortlessly takes a podium spot. Iâve popped in several times now (purely for research, of course), and each visit reaffirms what locals already know: this place just gets it right.
Letâs start with the coffee â Italian-style, smooth as a Sinatra ballad, and consistently excellent. Honestly, itâs the sort of cup that makes you forget your troubles â or at least postpone dealing with them.
The egg and bacon brioche bun? A triumph. Expertly crafted, gloriously golden, and refreshingly free of any avocado-related nonsense.
Service is warm, welcoming, and â in a rare and wonderful twist â you order at the table and they bring it to you. No frantic counter queues or playing musical chairs while balancing a tray like itâs an Olympic sport.
The vibe? Effortlessly buzzing, with a happy mix of locals and tourists who clearly know a good flat white when they see one.

What the owners have produced does not seem that difficult but eludes most cafe and business owners. They have figured out what the customer wants thatâs it! They do it much better than their competitors that is why they have a que of people waiting for a table. For lunch no tables sold out. So if you are ever in Harrogate take a visit itâs a delight to see how succes is achieved oh and of course to taste coffee like...
   Read moreWe had a lovely visit to Hoxton North yesterday for breakfast. We didn't want breakfast in our hotel so nipped nextdoor as we had heard great things.....We were not disappointed. The food, coffee, other customers and ambience were perfect - a refreshing change from the "routine" coffee shops. What made the visit even better were the staff, polite, efficient AND fun! So nice to see happy staff enjoying what they do and interacting with each and every customer at the correct individual level - they were great. Our thanks go to Imy, Attila (the excellent kitchen team) and Beth, Ella and Fran (front of house) Thank you for making our visit so special....and to the lady and her daughter next to us who were equally as nice and fun.
