Bean & Gone Coffee in York

Warm and welcoming little place to stop for breakfast ciabatta and coffee. One man running the show and did a great job. You could see the old Roman walls under the floor. Good value for money.

Advertising the best bacon sandwich in York. Well I’ve not tried every bacon sandwich in York, yet! Bacon sandwich was excellent, coffee was among the best I’ve had & it stayed hot also a good sized cup. It seems like a fair few regulars as a bit of chitchat was going on between them. Prices were not silly either. I will be returning!!!

Warm, inviting and larger than expected from the outside. We stopped in for lunch and ordered the festive feast sandwich - roast turkey, stuffing, bacon, sliced roasties and cranberry sauce. Delicious! Great service too - will definitely pop in again.

Friendly service, remembered us from the day before and very welcoming, definitely recommend the coffee and the caramel apple pie 🥧

Amazing cup of coffee and an apple pie to doe for, served by a wonderful person. Thank you for your kindness 🌈

Great little store. The couple who run it are wonderfully friendly. After a disappointing visit to another coffee establishment the cheerful welcome from the young lady and the exceptional service and local knowledge from the gentleman turned our day around. Would highly recommend.

Unusual little cafe just under the city wall. Friendly owner. Good coffee and teas. Didn’t try the cakes etc but they looked good.

Friendly welcome, great coffee and cakes, and not too expensive, but not very clean and needs a refurbishment

First visit and it was the ideal place to grab a hot drink and a delicious sandwich. Service was prompt, friendly and accommodating. Great little cafe in a historic location.

A quirky little cafe literally in the walls of York . Lovely coffee and an excellent bacon butty ( in a ciabatta roll) , even if slightly burnt at the edges . Cosy too and particularly welcome on a wet winter afternoon . Cheerful service too .

This has been our "go to" restaurant for our breakfast in the past when we visit York. We arrived at the cafe for our breakfast on a Thursday about 9.30 and the cafe wasn't open, although the website advises an 8.30 opening time. We previously loved the cafe so we walked about for a while & eventually got in just before 10. The food was good, the coffee only warm when it arrived and the owner polite & friendly. However, the floor hadn't been cleaned from the day before and the walls & doors looked like they could do with a wipe down. The interior had changed from the previous visit so maybe there is a makeover in progress? The door was still closed on Saturday when we passed about 9.10 (opening advertised as 9). Amend the website opening times if you can't make it for the specified times.

Visited today and this cake wow wow wow. The owner was fabulous helpful and very welcoming so much so we won't back twice and bought some to take home! Highly recommend a visit. Very handy for York art gallery and hop onbus stop

I had purchased a scone elsewhere and dropped in to sit with a coffee, although the place looked a bit of a mess. The pastry case looked as if it had been picked over several days ago, and was all sweets. My coffee arrived quickly and was good, so I began eating my scone. When the barista came out later to serve another table he told me that I wasn’t allowed to eat it - only food purchased on the premises. I certainly wasn’t keeping my table from other more lucrative business, as there were only 3 other customers. This was my only unpleasant and unwelcoming experience during my visit to York - everyone else has been delightful.

3 adults and 3 kids refused service due to the member of staff not wanting a “large group” in the shop. From entering the shop we were not greeted or shown signs of being accommodated for. We offered to sit in pairs at separate tables, but this was still not okay. Can not comment on the coffee or the food. As a regular visitor to the area I do not intend on returning to cafe!

Super friendly staff and the best coffee in York! Also really good treats that are a must to try when visiting York!

Never tried this cafe before, we popped in for some breakfast and were the only ones in but struggled to find a table that didn’t have plates and mugs still on and that was wiped. Our sandwiches were also really burnt and we ended up...

Best bacon sarnie I have had in a long time. Very good quiche and salad as well. Very friendly service. Just opposite York Art Gallery and very handy for a light lunch.

Excellent coffee, really good sausage sandwich. Excellent Brie and bacon too. Friendly and casual service , quality ingredients, sensible pricing. My new regular lunch spot.

My regular coffee stop. Excellent service, and good food and drink. A welcome change from the big chains.

I regularly pop into Bean and Gone on my way into York. It is very people and dog friendly and I always feel welcome. In addition to the excellent service, the hot chocolate is lush and there is a good range of snacks and cakes....

I've popped in here a few times, the coffee is good and the service is friendly. There is also a decent variety of sandwiches and snacks. Plus you get a little history as there is a perspex floor showing a section of Roman Wall underneath.

We found this lovely little coffee shop close to the city wall and well set out to cater for coffee drinkers but still maintain social distancing. The coffee was certainly as good if not better than the usual chains and the young man behind the...

Visited several times in the past so was delighted when the cafe reopened after lockdown. Having had an effective refurb and implementing distancing measures, the place is still cosy and welcoming, as is the cheerfulness of the owner. The food is always fresh and tasty,...

Wonderful coffee stop after visiting York Minister. Service was fabulous. We only had drinks, but food looked great. Sound a cosy place within the wall of York!

A perfect stop off when you can’t get into or after seeing the Minster. The coffee is hot, the nibbles tasty and staff friendly

Called in on the recommendation of the staff of the Yha. Great location, friendly staff, fantastic coffee, and very generous portions. I had the blt, which had a handful of quality bacon. Definitely worth a visit.

A great little stop on a wall walk. We dropped in for a quick drink earlier in the week and was so impressed by the likeable owner that we stopped back for some lunch today. Delicious sandwiches and all day breakfast. Good coffee. Transparent floor...

Called in here for a sandwich and coffees. Everything was spot on with great friendly service. Will definitely call again when visiting York.

Called here for breakfast after walking the walls so we were hungry. Husband had the sausage ciabatta roll and I had the double egg ciabatta. Beautiful and my eggs were cooked exactly as I requested. The man was lovely, gave us some maps and some...

Great coffee and really good value food. Would recommend. Need more independents like this to provide competition to the chains.

This little cafe is literally built into the city wall with part of the ancient foundations exposed in the floor of the cafe. The man who runs it is very pleasant and very helpful. As well as serving the usual range of drinks it has...

We called in late on sat nov 30th 19 it was really nice and coffee was the same the staff were brilliant they looked like they ad been so busy but that did not stop them from being very pleasant will call in again xx

Super Food, Super Service, Friendly Staff and Owner. Best Cumberland Sausage for miles. Excellent playlist/s on the 'Muzak'. Recently new tables allowing more 'covers'.

A really good flat white, and he has skinny, too! Also excellent is a Bakewell slice - it may be called frangipane. What's more he opens at 8am.

Visited with my wife on a Thursday morning. It is a small and cosy place with just a few tables inside ( there is also a limited outside seating area). The interior decor is attractive, notably wallpaper with a design of antique floor to ceiling...

Lovely hot chocolate, nice relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff, only downfall.....no public toilets.

Stopped here whilst walking the tourist route. Very nice cappuccino Great price and good size cup compared to other establishments Good to sit outside and people watch

I walk past this coffee shop on my way to work, and didn't think anything of it until I had some time to kill. The owner, and staff are all super lovely, and up for a laugh (which is always a good sign). Lovely coffee,...

An excellent find. Lovely welcoming staff. Very good value meal deal ( sandwich crisps and drink £4). Best crisps I’ve ever had- pop-chips.

In its previous guise, this cafe was always worth a visit. Under the new ownership, happy to say that the standards are just as good. The bacon and Cumberland sausage buns are good, particularly the sausage, and the coffee is Ok. There is a friendly...

Stopped in for lattes and pastries near 1:30pm. Pleasent find with a view of a Roman gate. Coffees were perfect and the pastries were a generous serving at a reasonable price. Hidden next to the Roman rampart, but worth looking for.

Quiet little spot; very friendly staff, great Latte and reasonably priced. Will come here again. Smell of bacon frying slightly assailed my olfactory senses, but overall I enjoyed my visit.

The best bacon sandwichsandwich the raining cool day. How good is that. Ideal spot to rest up before walking the wall.

In addition to good coffee this shop has the benefit of a viewpoint through its floor of the part of the original Roman fortification that much of the York walls were built upon.

Friendly service, good location and excellent coffee and food. Interesting historic feature under glass panels in the floor. Perfect pit stop for a day in York!
