I am disabled with a walking aid. Waited outside to be seated as per instructions on the sandwich board, no one came so my wife went inside to ask only to be waved away by the quite rude and abrupt member of staff, who did not obviously put customers first especially any one who was disabled!!

A lovely friendly place with surprisingly quick service. My friend had the york ham on granary which came with a tasty side salad, I had the mushroom soup which comes with chunks of granary bread. It was the nicest mushroom soup I’ve tasted in years! Just what I needed to warm up on a cold, wet day.

Stopped for a coffee en route to walk around the city walls. Oat milk latte was lovely, partner had a coffee, it was served in a smallish cup and really not much more than half full. Milk was served separately so perhaps that explains it. No vegan options in the cakes which surprised me as I don't think I've ever seen so much choice for vegans as I have done in York. Looking at the reviews this place is obviously popular and succeeding at what it does so perhaps there is not a feeling that vegans need to be catered for...but even just one option would be nice!! I can only assume the oat milk option is due to so many people being 'dairy free'. Great setting, enjoyed sitting in the sun people watching!

This is a lovely welcoming cafe with friendly staff and a great menu. I was in a rush for a quick bite before going on a walking tour of York and found this great cafe by chance! A great find. I explained I was short on time and within minutes my delicious York ham sandwich and salad arrived! Enjoyed it so much I returned there later on in the week! Great location just a stone’s throw from York Minster and bathed in sunshine on my visit. Recommend without hesitation.

I was looking for somewhere for brunch overlooking York Minster and chose Bennett’s. The setting is perfect and the staff friendly and attentive. We had the full English which was delicious and very filling. The only thing that could’ve made it better is if there had been an available table outside. Never mind, it just means I’ll have to come back again! Highly recommended.

Durante un viaje a York visitamos este café restaurante al lado de York Minster para tomar un refrigerio (té y café). Nos sentamos afuera con una hermosa vista del Minster y su cola socialmente distante. El servicio fue muy amable y eficiente. El té y el café eran buenos, ¡pero los bollos eran los mejores de todos! Eran tan ligeros y deliciosos. También tuve un pedazo de Parkin que fue fabuloso. Un gran lugar para visitar - la casa - la repostería es realmente buena - muy recomendable.

This is always a busy spot with people jostling for a window seat overlooking the west door of the minster. Whilst the menu is small, there is a great range of dishes to suit all tastes. You can depend on the food being freshly prepared and it's mostly homemade using the best of local ingredients. I had the ham hock today which was moist, full of flavour, and left me wanting a smidgen more! Staff are attentive and friendly and although it's busy. Clearly there are daily regular customers who are warmly greeted by staff, but as a visitor you are sure of equal attention. Breakfast or lunch, the choice is yours. I expect that like me, you won't be disappointed! Looking forward to my next visit.

However the chef came out and wasn't the most pleasant of people complaing about the moving of tables to us which where moved by the previous member of staff who was polite.

Very popular place - about a 20 minute wait - but worth it. Super cute bistro within sight of The Minster. Got a seat right by the window. Small but fabulously British menu and specials board. Got w wonderful pot of Yorkshire Tea, Egg, mayo, and watercress sandwich on delicious brown bread (with the crusts cut off, obviously), and a scone with homemade strawberry jam and clotted cream. About the latter - it was sublime. For the uninitiated, clotted cream is possibly the best breakfast carb topping ever. Part cream cheese, part sweet, with the most silky texture. The scone at Bennett's (homemade) was dense and buttery and wow. Total bill - 10 Pounds 90 p. Bargain.

I’m writing to complain about an incident which happened a few months ago. I went to have a nice breakfast during a weekend away. I walked into the cafe and was seated. I ordered my breakfast and asked the server if he could refill my reusable water bottle. The server scowled at me and replied “We can’t do that as we can’t give you anything for free. The only thing you can do is BUY A BOTTLE OF WATER AND DECANT IT”. Hey mister, last time I checked there is a collection of plastic trash the size of Texas in the Pacific. The whole point of carrying a reusable water bottle is to be able to be environmentally friendly. Selfish ignorant decisions like this based on profit is what is leading to the destruction of our planet. Last time I checked restaurants are OBLIGED BY LAW TO PROVIDE FREE TAP WATER. So this institution could have even broken the law by refusing me free water. If you care about the environment, please avoid this restaurant and it’s unevironmentally conscious servers with chips on their shoulder. The food was not bad, but the portion size small

We visited twice as it was so good. The Yorkshire tea is delightful. The pot for one made 3 cups. The cakes are devine, moist tasty and reasonably sized portions. The friendly staff and extra space made this our favourite. Most places are small and narrow due to the buildings but you can get in and out from your table easily here. The views of the minster are not direct but great for people watching. The toilets are up the stairs, which are quite steep and narrow but handrails mitigate this. Well worth visiting.

Inesperadamente aislados en York durante varias horas, nos encontramos afuera, con Bennett's, mirando hacia adentro. Fuimos a preguntar si había una mesa para dos y nos informaron que esperaríamos menos de cinco minutos. Efectivamente nos sentamos momentos después. Buena comida servida por personal carismático. Mi siguiente punto puede parecer un poco extraño, pero muchos restaurantes se decepcionan con esta simple limpieza. Es decir, las mesas se limpiaron y se limpiaron rápidamente tan pronto como los comensales se fueron. Esto fue aún más notable, ya que un pequeño número de empleados mantenía un gran nivel de servicio. Creo que es justo decir que llamaremos aquí de nuevo.

We didn't fancy the queues for Bettys, knowing the hype doesn't match up to reality and while there are plenty of big American coffee shop chains around, we prefer to spend with a local business who pays uk taxes! Just on High Petersgate, a stone's throw from the Minster is Bennett's cafe. Perfect! Once inside we were met with a friendly and warm welcome. Orders came quickly and we sat back to enjoy tea, decaff coffee, shortbread and as it was a holiday, for me a scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam. The scone was superb, quite crumbly almost a bit like shortbread, very tasty indeed and there was no scrimping on the clotted cream either! The waiters and waitress were lovely and friendly, smiley and engaging. And the bill? Very reasonable compared to the branded competition and the infamous tea rooms in the surrounding area. A little tranquil oasis, spot on!!

Took a chance with Bennett's without looking at Trip Advisor and we weren't disappointed. Had the garlic prawn starter followed by the sea bass. Both courses were excellent. Not too expensive and our waiter was very sociable and attentive. Full marks all round.

Excellent Yorkshire breakfast overlooking the Minster. Sausages bacon and black pudding all sourced from local yorkshire butcher. Wonderfully cooked and friendly service. Good value at less than half the price of bfast in our hotel. Support local independent cafes like this!

Right beside the Minster, with the view to enjoy. My friend and I were going to the airport and wanted a light snack. Delicious toasted tea cakes and Earl Gray tea in pretty surroundings. The two gentlemen on duty were kindness itself, and we look forward to returning on our next visit to York!

Bennett's is adjacent to the medieval York Minster in the heart of the old city. We attended the Evensong service and then looked around for a place to eat before a performance at the nearby York Theatre Royal. Bennett's was an excellent choice and one of the dining highlights of the trip.

As said in earlier reviews on the doorstep of York Minster lovely compact little gem of a restaurant excellent menu and wine list I decided to have the rib eye steak which was cooked to perfection also the vegetables which often are overcooked again where perfect. The waiter was polite and efficient not to obtrusive. On the whole a very satisfying experience.

A great way to spend your day at the very foot of York Minster, this small reaturant sreves very good food, and has excellent service. Recommened by our B&B; for a dinner meal, this was just the ticket after a busy day of sightseeing. Drop in or make reservations for seating.

We made a point of trying scones in every place we visited in the UK and the scones at Bennett's were the best! Not only were the scones tasty, the service was great and the location next to the Minster fabulous!

We stopped here to rest from our walk around the city centre. We had the most delicious home made leek and sweet potato soup and nice bread, followed by yummy lemon drizzle cake, chocolate cake and scone with tea. Just what we needed to recharge our batteries for more walking. It was quite busy but the staff were very attentive and we soon had our order. It had character too which I like....not all shiny and modern.

We had dinner here and it was the best meal of our trip so far. We both had grilled fish which was very good. We liked the side dishes, especially the steamed fresh vegetables. The dessert was delicious! The staff were nice. The restaurant is across from York Minster. We were there to see the the setting sun turn the Minster stone gold which was a definite treat.

I swear by all that is Holy...this place provides the best sausage sandwich in the Universe. Think I'm exaggerating? Get yourself in there and see what you get for your £5.60 (August, 2018).

Everything on the day time menus comes with bread. Sandwiches, soup and even breakfast. No alternatives such as salad or jacket potato. Scrambled egg vey bland. Service good and staff friendly. Doubt I will return.

Have visited this cafe numerous times. We have had different meals from the daytime menu. Yesterday we visited for breakfast. No one wanted the black pudding so we were given an extra rasher of bacon. Always welcome by the staff. Next visit is for the evening meal
