Baileys Cafe and Tea Rooms in York

What a gem of a place. Friendly and helpful staff. Great vibe. Fab food. Will definitely return next time we are in York.

Clean & cosy restaurant, fast service, pleasant staff and delicious food. Originally meant to go next door but there was a queue. What a result! My first impression was how clean the restaurant was. It was spacious but cosy. When people came in to wait for a table they never had to wait long. The staff were relaxed but fast. The environment was calm and happy. Bailey’s veggie breakfast was amazing. My husband had a regular breakfast. My son had a sausage roll which turned out to be a sausage sandwich in a roll as opposed to an actual sausage roll pastry but he was happy. We will come again as our son is studying at the Uni for the next 4 years

I was given a cup containing a large piece of dirt in it. When I asked for a clean cup, the goth waitress gave me a dirty look and wordlessly swapped it out. Extremely poor service.

Gluten free menu available on request. I got the English breakfast. I thought the value for money wasn't great. £10.25 and only get one agg and one sausage.

I loved the atmosphere of the place! It's very homie and I had an amazing cup of hot chocolate:) I recommend for relaxation after walking around the city or to hang out with some friends

Nice little cafe. Excellent sandwich!

A friendly, warm reception and very good service. The fried breakfast was superb

Used to come here with my grandparents when we visited York nice memories, good cafe friendly staff my grandad refused to go anywhere else for a drink and something to eat

Very nice place food very nice. Staff are lovely.

Good choice on the menu and plenty of gluten free options for my wife very friendly and efficient staff and good prices we,l definitely be going back

Lovely place to grab lunch or a quick drink

Excellent value for money and great service

Had a lovely lunch, staff were very pleasant

Does what it says on the tin - very reliable staple breakfasts. Nice coffee as well and prompt and friendly service. A place to return to when in York.

Cosy, warm, and very friendly & helpful staff in this lovely tea room /cafe.

Disappointed to get a hard, cold fruit scone with bland jam and cream. Tea was a teabag in a pot with cheap crockery. . Go elsewhere

Nice traditional cafe with a good selection of gluten free options.

This was such a cute cafe! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and made the place feel very homey. The food was fantastic and tasted freshly made. We also had a couple of their teas which were amazing. Loved spending time here!

Gorgeous little place for breakfast. Every member of staff is so lovely and the food is perfect.

Lovely tea room with friendly and attentive staff. Only had delicious hot chocolates and teacakes, but other diners' food (lunches) looked good.

Excellent service, the banoffee pie was delicious. I will definitely visit again next time I'm in York

Great cafe, good food and value for money.

It was an alright breakfast but I didn't like how the mushrooms or tomato was cooked .

We were recommend this place by my parents for breakfast we were staying at a hotel nearby we went on Sunday I had a all day breakfast my partner hada yorkshire pudding filled with roast beef and gravy and a extra portion of chips the food is outstanding service was fantastic we have been every day since being away the food and service gets better everytime keep up the good work highly recommend and will definitely be back when we visit York again

Friendly staff, fast service and lovely food. Would recommend to all.

Very average breakfast with no atmosphere. Staff very pleasant though. Had the full English, in Yorkshire you would expect quality food but was disappointed.

Great little cafe, plenty of tables and seats. The staff were all lovely and friendly, very quick and efficient. Food and drinks came out quickly and we're hot and delicious. Loads of options for all time sof the day and specials available. Very reasonable prices and portions were spot on. We came twice as we enjoyed it so much the first time.

Traditional English breakfast very affordable. Good service. Small tables with 4 chairs too small for 4 plates

Wish we had found this cafe sooner.

I was welcomed warmly when I arrived, which was a nice start. I went for the full English breakfast and had it with a mocha. The eggs were great, and everything tasted really good overall. The only downside was that they didn’t offer black pudding, which I was looking forward to. With the mocha, it cost me about £15, but the breakfast itself was around £11-£12. Considering other restaurants nearby, this was relatively cheap for the quality and portion size. Even though I missed the black pudding, it was still a solid breakfast, and I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something filling.

We came across Baileys and decided to have lunch. The food was great and service equally good. One thing of note is the generous portion sizes, particularly for the apple crumble with custard. Huge! It's so lovely to see this, as it's a rare but welcome value for money. The jacket potato with baked beans and cheese (with salad) was good, very tasty. A very nice place to go, with a nice atmosphere even. Would go back.

Lovely place .food delicious service marvellous waitresses very certious and prices spot on.

Awesome 👌 traditional breakfast + great service! Visited Baileys, 2 days in a row while staying in York.

Large cafe, plenty of tables, on the way into the middle of York as you walk, food was good, clean cafe, staff chatty. All good.

Lovely food, friendly quick service. Just needs some music for a better vibe!

The loveliest breakfast experience during our trip to York. Immediately we were greeted by a smile, seated and food was at our table within 20 minutes despite the busy atmosphere in the room. Great value for money. Would definitely come again to try their cakes!

This cafe is a hidden gem! If you're looking for simple, delicious food served with a smile, this is the spot. The service is lightning-fast, and the staff couldn't be friendlier. The real stars of the show are the homemade cakes - they're simply to die for! Don't miss this place.

There’s always a warm welcome when you visit Bailey’s in York. It has been there for sometime and is always popular with tourists and locals alike. I popped in on Saturday Morden route to the railway station and was lucky enough to find a space. I had a really good cup of coffee but didn’t have time for an although the menu looked good and the dishes up on the blackboard were very tempting. There’s a good range of meals available including breakfast served all day and there’s also a gluten free menu. Toilets are near the tills so no steps to climb. Recommended!

Great food , helpful friendly staff ,great food at good prices ... Make sure you go !!!

An old fashioned British greasy spoon wrapped up unsuccessfully as a quaint tea room. The food is exactly of greasy spoon standard, I had a egg and bacon sandwich, absolutely fine, and a very nice cup of tea. Service was great. Prices a little high.

Baileys in York is good for breakfast, Tea and coffee. The food and drinks were nice and they have gluten free menu. It's a good morning stop.

Visited york on holiday for a few days , I originally discovered this nice traditional cafe whilst looking for somewhere for lunch. I ordered egg and cress sandwiches which came with a side salad and also ordered a glass of lemonade. The sandwiches where amazing and tasted really freshly made and the salad was lovely too. I came back for breakfast the next day and got scrambled eggs on toast and orange juice and again another thoroughly enjoyable meal. I've been back each day of my holiday, I'm actually here writing this and I've just had there traditional English breakfast and a pot of Yorkshire tea. I don't like tomatos so they kindly swapped it for me for another sausage. Really polite staff, great prices and amazing food. Highly recommend this place for your meals whilst visiting York.

Cafe and tea. I liked the flavor and roasting of the coffee. The scones were normal compared to other famous stores Balahi waffles are delicious and special ❤️❤️

Good food and great value. Thank you.☺️

Always try to eat here when we visit York. Can get very busy, but worth the wait. Good portion sizes (usually too much for me!)

Popped in on the 21st July as this was close to our hotel and not far from York Station. Friendly Yorkshire welcome and a pretty generous full English breakfast washed down with a pot of tea and a cappuccino for the wife and I respectively. Good value and cooked well. Next time we're in York we'll definitely be back.

Stopped for brunch with friends. Ordered 3 meals including Fishcakes, the sandwich and the all day breakfast were average, the fishcakes were frozen in the middle. The waitress took them back to the kitchen and said that they would be redone. Waited around 20 minutes, everyone else had finished their meals and as a type one diabetic I needed to eat. No sign of the fishcakes. Explained to the waitress that I needed to eat as I am type 1 diabetic, and the others in my party had eaten their meals, and as such we no longer wanted to wait for the fishcakes. She went to tell the kitchen. We asked for our bill, the waitress said that we wouldn’t be charged for the fishcakes and we had been given a 10% discount. Which was the only positive thing of the visit.

We always go to Bailey's when in York. The food, service and atmosphere is first class. We look forward to our next visit!

Enjoyed this lovely cafe with my family one afternoon. We had wonderful cream teas which are best in York.

Visited at end June for breakfast, my wife had cheese and tomato on toast and I had scrambled egg on toast, both were fresh and tasty, the Staff were really friendly and price was reasonable.

I CAN'T GIVE BETTY'S ANY RATING .. 'COS I'VE NEVER BEEN IN I HAVE WALKED PAST FEW TIMES THATS ALL

I had the salmon, scrambled egg with muffin and husband had the full breakfast. It was okay. A bit pricey I thought for what we got. 25 pounds for that and 2 coffees. Staff were friendly. Place was clean

Proper cup it tea in a real cup. Busy, (always a good sign) friendly , traditional. And right in the centre of town. Recommended

Great service, and excellent food.

We were REALLY looking forward to having a cream tea. BIG mistake to go to this cafe. I personally asked the waitress if it was real double cream. I do not class squirty cream from a can as real cream. She of course said it was, and when we went to pay she kept watching me to see if I would says anything, what’s the point wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Lovely cafe with great home cooked food. We visited 3 times over a 3 day stay and every time food came quickly despite being busy. Great service and great food.

Good food, reasonably priced and great service.

Great gluten free options relaxed atmosphere and friendly service

We had a great time during our lunch here. Amazing food and professional service. We went back again for breakfast and it was yummy. The Darjeeling Tea was good as well. Very nicely located and highly recommended.

Fantastic breakfast! Don't always get fried bread on a breakfast so it was great for it to be available here!

we had a wonderful lunch great value for money. Plenty of room and good service. I highly recommend it.

A beautiful English breakfast for a very reasonable £9.95 !

Absolute rubbish. 1 sausage on a £9.95 breakfast Some of the staff seem abit ignorant

Delicious English breakfast, although a lot of butter for a Spaniard, but the meat, eggs and beans... So good!! I recommend it!!

Scrumptious food reasonably priced. Just one tiny point: as a visitor I was surprised to be faced with a contactless card machine asking if I wanted to pay an extra 10% or an extra 20% tip. I prefer to leave a few pounds on the table as I leave . It's pressurised and presumptive to adopt the former.

Friendly staff who were polite and efficient. A nice place for food .

The first time here it was recommended to me, and they were right food great staff were very friendly as well and would definitely come back

Stopped here for a meal. Good choices on the menu at reasonable prices. Didn't have a dessert on this occasion . Serving staff were very efficient.

Lovely tea room, great selection on menu. I had a pot of tea for one, 3 cups out of it!

Great little cafe, good menu, friendly staff. Quick service. Handy for Minster and park Inc car parks

Very tasty food , ample portions. Fast , friendly service

Very nice food, service and staff. Open on Sundays too.

Great choice of food and friendly staff.

When in York we always make a point of eating there. Good food and value for money, and served by friendly staff.

Outstanding and inexpensive meal.

Went for breakfast for the weekend, lovely food and good service

Really really enjoyed it, my breakfast, atmosphere..... If I can I will put even 10☆

Arrived bang on 8.30 for breakfast. Had a warm welcome quick service as more customers arrived. Finding a places that open before 9 Bailey’s hit the spot. Fully recommend ( although haven’t paid yet)

The cafe lacks atmosphere; unfortunately the Lemon Meringue pie was rather tasteless and the Cappuccino was disappointing, we were underwhelmed by the visit.

Simple food and nothing special.

Great Service. Was originally going for breakfast next door but I refuse to que for a breakfast. Luckily walked into here and it was so good I went the next day aswell. Great price, great food, friendly staff and the Mocha was the best I have had in a while. :)

Very expensive 9.85 for a very small Brie and Bacon toastie, food was ok, but would never go there again at those prices. I think a bit of a tourist trap as was very busy, so maybe other people don't mind paying those sort of prices.

Baileys Cafe is reasonably priced considering location and what it has to offer. Would recommend for a basic English. Breakfast. Lovely smoothies too!

I had an unpleasant experience at Bailey's cafe. The prawn omelette I ordered lacked seasoning and flavor. Additionally, the vegetarian breakfast option was disappointing. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

I had an horrible experience at Bailey’s cafe. I had a Cheese Omelette 🍳 . It wasn’t cooked well. The chips were soggy and the staff wasn’t welcoming towards the foreigner crowd.

My experience at this cafe was awful. I ordered a mushroom omelette, but it came without any salt. Despite that, I managed to eat half of it. Then, to my shock, I discovered a prawn inside the omelette. If I had been allergic to seafood, it could have been dangerous. I wouldn't suggest this place to anyone.

Lovely little place to have some food . The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing . I would definitely go back there. They had a wide choice of dishes . The omelets are amazing and so are the breakfasts .

A must place to eat. 100 per cent you will never forget how good this place is x thanks to all the staff

Really disappointed with this cafe - we came for a very basic bacon roll and a sausage and egg roll. We had asked for extra bacon as only 2 rashers are included on a large roll (definitely not enough especially when considering the price!). When it came, the bacon was really fatty (about half fat half actual meat) so by the time we’d taken it off it was basically just one rasher on a large bread roll. The sausage was nice (nothing special) but the egg was very overcooked. We also had filter coffee which wasn’t great and a Diet Coke which seemed to be straight out of a large bottle. For all of this the price was £22.95 - absolutely ridiculous for a small local greasy spoon cafe.

Busy. Enjoyed coffees and cakes. Good quality and flavour.

Not worth 9 99.for breakfast....drink should be included...Everything is extra as well ...mushrooms...hash brown etc....

Very popular cafe only 7-8 minutes walk from the rail station, near York Minster with a good range of food & drink options in a pleasant & comfortable atmosphere. Generally better value than many other nearby cafes apart from the, frankly, exhorbitant cost of bog-stand breakfast tea (£3.10 in February 2024) and the requirement to pay almost £1 extra for mushrooms with your breakfast.

Fabulous little cafe near River. Extensive menu - all home made from memory including quiche and cakes. Had blue cheese open sandwich- very generous portion. Very tasty. Service was swift. Coffee good. Recommended.

this is a local and independent cafe on the outskirts of York city centre, opposite liberty square. It has a wide variety of food and drink to choose from, and a staff member comes to your table to take your order. Payment is taken at the tills. There are plenty of seats as this cafe is quite bigd.

Good value, everyday food, good service and fair price also if your looking for somewhere that's family friendly and a relaxed atmosphere this is the place for you

Lovely food and friendly service

Lovely little traditional cafe. Cakes, coffee, all excellent.

Perfectly average. The atmosphere is virtually non-existent and decor is basic. Service was okay, polite. Our orders were completely messed up: we all asked for English breakfasts in different varieties and non of them came out correctly, I didn't even get toast on mine and none of us asked for a breakfast without toast. Food was average, nothing I couldn't have done a better job of at home. Food was luke warm. Won't be coming back when there are so many better places about.

Always go there every time we visit York

Convenient location on the right just over the bridge, healthy fresh food and good desserts. Had lunch and dinner there a number of times in October 2023.
