Best French Bakery in River Ouse

"Sample a variety of global cuisine at this popular Argentinian owned cafe. Inside you will find a totally relaxed atmosphere with wooden decor and a range of rustic and antique furniture that are always up for sale. This independent coffee shop come homeware store come restaurant is a true local gem, particularly popular with those who value a real community vibe."

"Again, this one involves eggs, especially on the daytime menu. But if that’s not a problem for you, then you will love this quirky spot. If you don’t eat eggs then you still have options and some very tasty ones too."

"Stop at this independent coffee shop and restaurant on Micklegate and you can look forward to all day brunch dishes such as French toast, eggs benedict, and cooked breakfasts served in a skillet."

"Famous for their spectacular pancakes – and many other yummy sweet and savoury treats. Normally it’s hard to get a table in here, so make sure to get here early (or be prepared to wait!) Currently open for click and collect or order at the door."

"They always have a great selection of cakes, brownies and pastries too. Beautiful ambience, excellent food & delicious cakes. The wonderful staff provides a first class service."

"Nothing will top your day off in any old English city better than a classic afternoon tea. Let yourself have a huge feast and eat all those beautiful sandwiches and cakes. You can walk off the cream buns in the morning."

"If you’re feeling hungry after all that exploring then head to Bettys. It’s a Yorkshire institution with delicious cakes and scones to fill up on. My favourite is their fat rascal scone."

"Betty’s Cafe is famous in York for elegant and traditional dining. You can pop in a cup of tea, lunch, dinner or afternoon tea. They also serve a fabulous breakfast."

"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."

"Their breakfast/brunch menu is completely unique, with fresh fruit chia puddings, banana, blueberry and almond loaves, rissoles, frittatas and crumpets. Not ideal if you’re after a bit of bacon, but having tried their Tofu Nourish Bowl on their lunch menu, I can vouch for the food here. OPENING HOURS: Breakfast/brunch is served until 12pm"

"Offering take away or eat in service, Goji’s is a repeatedly tried and tested favourite of mine. As an added benefit you will be supporting a local York company with your custom. I highly recommend the Goji hot dog and the fruit crumble with oat cream."

"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."

"Relaxed rustic-chic cafe and deli dishing up French and Italian-style food and freshly-baked bread. Address : 1 Blake St, York YO1 8QJ, UK"

"Offering a great selection of homemade cakes and coffee or even a picnic to take on your walk. Enjoy a short walk in Acomb Wood and Meadow Local Nature Reserve which is about a mile from Love to Eat. Or you could pop by Love to Eat after a visit to Askham Bog if you are in the car."

"Afternoon Tea – A full Afternoon Tea comprising sandwiches, savouries, scones with Jam & cream and mini cakes & desserts. Adults £15.95, Children £9.95. 52 Moor Lane, York, YO24 2QY"

"The Pig and Pastry is a family run and family-friendly cafe on Bishopthorpe Road. They’ve received numerous accolades since they opened their doors in 2008 and are probably one of the most loved cafes in York. Like many modern establishments, they pride themselves on sourcing their produce from local suppliers and they will openly share with their customers who and where their ingredients came from."

"The Pig and Pastry is a real quirky family run cafe with a typical Yorkshire charm. Breakfast has become a big deal here with many food critics and bloggers keen to share their positive experiences. The family are well known for their outgoing personality and the friendly chit chat that takes place at this popular local eatery."

"It is a pleasant Sunday afternoon at Quirky Ales and Monkey is starting his afternoon off with a Hip Hop. Is that wise Monkey?"

"Valhalla is York’s only traditional Viking pub and just being there is an entire experience in itself!. You’ll find people drinking strong, strange ales and mead out of a real Viking drinking horn!. The do also serve regular beers, lagers and spirits as well, but no cocktails unfortunately!"
