Two of us came this morning for breakfast and coffee. The service is outstanding, attentive staff but not all over you, we asked for another few minutes to look at the menu as they were keen to take our order upon arrival. They were more than happy to give us a few extra moments to decide. The menu is right up my street, not pages and pages of different things, a very good selection of quality breakfast/brunch dishes along with sandwiches etc. I had creamy mushrooms on toast with additional poached eggs and my partner in breakfast craving crime had smashed avocado on toast, again with additional poached eggs.

I prefer a decent breakfast for the amount of money they charge, and above all, good...
Read moreBest coffee shop in York with the very best staff We are very lucky in York to have some amazing coffee shops/cafes, but the Curious Coffee Co in Haxby is without doubt my absolute favourite. The coffee is superb and they do Cafetieres which is a huge bonus for me as its my favourite way to drink coffee. The staff are not just friendly they are fantastic and led by Sue who does an amazing job. They are fun, welcomng and this place has got such a fantastic vibe not to mention fabulous food. Treat yourself to mushrooms on toast. Sublime 😀 Or an absolutely devine cheese scone served with butter, cream cheese and chutney or a fruit scone served with butter, rhubarb and ginger preserve and clotted cream. And as if that wasnt enough you can take your dogs. Five star cafe with five star staff and five...
