Remedy Coffee Shop / Wine Bar — Restaurant in England

On arrival the decor and place appeared lovely and cosy. It was recommended high up on the list for independent coffee shops on Google to visit in York. We just wanted a quick coffee. We were asked to leave as we had left over pizza in a box that contained animal products in and they didn’t want any ‘meat’ inside. We weren’t going to eat the pizza. We didn’t want to waste the food we bought and someone had kindly prepared. I would have covered it up with my coat and bag. We wouldn’t have been disrespectful as we knew you served food. This was disheartening, we just wanted a quick coffee, in a chilled atmosphere before leaving York. In today’s society there would be up roar if someone asked if a pizza, in a box was vegan and asked to leave because the coffee shops sells charcuterie boards. Do all your customers get questioned over their make up choices that maybe not be vegan products? Clothes made with real leather they may be wearing? People carry medicine, make up products and creams in their bags that may not be vegan. Are these checked for animal products before service? What if someone had a chicken and bacon pasta pot in their bag? Sincerely admire your passion for change. Shame it lacked the inclusivity. We respected your...

Brilliant little coffee shop. Stumbled on this one with my mum after one too many ciders and in need of a caffeine hit whilst we were waiting for a late evening dinner booking nearby on Fossgate.

Met Jared, excellent guy who admitted they were supposed to stop serving coffee after a certain time due to the location working on promoting a wine bar service (it was around 8-9pm) but it was the first location for coffee that had come up on Google and I needed both the caffeine and a bathroom for 2 minutes while I got my sense and senses back. Jared was kind enough to let us in and had my first ever black coffee here in the most adorable little cup imaginable. My mum had a glass of wine and we had an excellent chat with Jared about the shop and our trip. We found out about the shop's ethos and the brillant story behind how the shop tries to ethically source its coffee direct from South America via boat and even gets photo updates from the middle of the Atlantic ocean about the ship's progress.

Will absolutely be visiting again next time I visit York (hopefully during daylight hours and delightfully sober) and have made sure to let everyone in my circles know...

Stopped here with my partner today (he came alone for breakfast while I was running a marathon and politely demanded I return with him for lunch).

We were served by Sebastian, who was very knowledgeable and charming. (As an aside, he also stopped to speak Spanish with one table, working together with them to explain the coffee menu. The trio of staff who were on today all seemed tremendously friendly and knowledgeable.) I was recommended a wonderful light roast cup of coffee and some juice - I had one of each and they were fantastic. We also ate a beetroot burger and a potato salad - the latter in particular was sublime, tasting fresh and flavourful thanks to a combination of lemon, hazelnuts, and many other tasty things.

Every customer seemed happy and taken care of.

For what it's worth, I came in feeling nauseous and cold from the low temperature and the big race, but left feeling much better (minus the tired legs-you can't fix everything with beetroot and potatoes, I suppose). Remedy lives up...
