Bruks Coffee Shop in York

Would have given 5* but we think they overcharged us, we had mushrooms/tomatoes on toast £8.50 and sausage bacon sandwich £6.50. tea and Americano and got charged over £27 so we paid over £12 for coffee and tea😳😳. Saying that the breakfast was very tasty and staff were wonderful and helpful. Just check before you pay as we didn't .

Nos recibieron con una bienvenida encantadora y el desayuno y las bebidas eran deliciosos, encantador y limpio y la comida salió en unos 10 minutos y no decepcionó, todo muy fresco y cocinado perfecto, precios muy razonables y bien vale la pena cada centavo. Sin duda lo recomiendo.

Excellent friendly service and homely food. Will visit again if the diary allows.

Bruks offered a variety of breakfast and lunch when we dropped in at lunch time, along with hot and cold beverages. They seated us and served us right away. I would come back when I needed a light lunch —and it will help you on your York Cat Hunt journey ;)

Un lugar precioso. Tuvimos que esperar fuera durante 5 minutos a la hora del almuerzo, ya que estaba tan ocupado. Echamos un vistazo al menú mientras esperábamos. Teníamos panini, patata chaqueta, un sándwich de desayuno y un sándwich de salmón ahumado con refrescos y café. La comida era deliciosa y el servicio amable. Ocupado y bullicioso, un pequeño lugar agradable para el almuerzo.

We had some lovely breakfast sandwiches and a great coffee. 5*s

Staff were so observant - noticed our 2 year old eyeing up a shake so brought him over a mini one and a game. Table next to us took his toast off his main plate and a small one appeared for him. Food was limited but excellent. Place very clean and friendly. Nothing too much trouble for our family group. Will go again if we’re in York

My husband got English breakfast and I got mozarella panini. Both was great as well as the service by a lovely lady. Thanks

Excellent breakfast and really nice mocha. Staff very polite and attentive. Fantastic place to eat. Took cakes away they looked so good.

A very friendly cafe in the heart of York. We spotted as it was on the cat trail which we were doing with our daughters. We stopped for breakfast but the cakes looked delicious! The ladies were very warm and friendly which was nice considering how central the cafe is. A good find and would definitely return.

Difficult to find but so so worth it, beautiful food, well presented - would go out of my way to go again

Friendly, cosy, beautifully decorated for easter and I am very full now!

Lovely breakfast! Went here last Saturday morning with a friend and my mum. The food was well priced for the quality, and was lovely! It was a proper cosy caf which I struggle to find in York. The baked goods looked INCREDIBLE (regret I didn’t get any!!), and the staff were extremely kind. Deceptively small on the outside I’d say, and a lovely atmosphere from the interior decor, brilliant hospitality, and fantastic food! Will be back, especially for those cakes!!!!

Excellent visit to lucky find.Staff were lovely and friendly. Everything homemade highly recommended

Great little cafe, had a lovely vegan sandwich and tea, owners are friendly and helpful

Great hidden gem in York, still as good as ever

I’m so happy to have stumbled upon Bruks this afternoon, how I haven’t been before I don’t know! I went in with the little boy I nanny for and had such a lovely experience. They have a simple but great kids menu - the food must of been good because my little man did a dance after every mouthful. I myself got a tuna toastie that was out of this world, honestly it was so good. We were served by Jo who was absolutely lovely and accommodating and made us feel very comfortable. They are dog friendly and have games for kids as well, what more could you want!

Absolutely lovely little cafe. Top quality soup & sandwiches & great staff. Perfect place for a catch up with friends xx

I went for lunch with my Granddaughter and Mum. It’s a lovely welcoming cafe and we were made to feel welcome. The ladies ensured my 2 year old Granddaughter had toys, her drink first and her food, effort was made throughout, the food choice and quality is wonderful, a gem to have in York.

Beautiful oven baked jacket potatoes and choice of fillings. Great for anyone on slimming world looking for spot for lunch where staff were so helpful and pleasant Definitely will be back

We had breakfast which was delicious. Glad we came as it opened as full extremely quickly. Very friendly staff and great coffee.

Great little find if you wanting a tasty breakfast, also they very much welcome dogs 🐕 and babies 👶 Food was lovley but found the bubble and squeak to have to much oinions but overall great good. We will defo recommend this place to our friends.

Friendly, good service and great food.

Friendly little cafe in a hidden away side street

This is an excellent little cafe hidden away in the centre of York. Visited today at lunch. It was busy when we arrived but the host told us how long we’d be and got us a seat as soon as was possible. Food was excellent and reasonably priced (particularly for York). Good children’s menu as well, particularly liked the kids hot chocolate in a panda mug. Highly recommended, will go again!!

Excellent service and food. Looked after my son with plenty of games to keep him ocupied

En una reciente visita a York, estábamos buscando para tomar un poco de desayuno, preguntamos a un par de tíos y nos dirigieron a Bruks café. A la entrada nos encontramos con una buena mañana y bienvenida y se nos mostró a una mesa para dos. Es una encantadora zona de sensación familiar, el servicio es genial y hasta la tierra de Julie y Andrea, atento pero no intrusivo. La comida es todo cocinado en casa fresco y productos locales, burbuja y chirrido era delicioso, años desde que hemos tenido eso. El café estaba caliente y delicioso. Hay un gran ambiente aquí y un montón de charla, en realidad volvimos al día siguiente para una repetición. . jaja. Tampoco rompió el banco. ¡Adorable!

Had a delicious bruks breakfast and flat white. Nice touch were the lovely cookies. I also took away a cheese scone. The cakes looked amazing as well. All homemade.

Wonderful proper bacon sandwich and cup oftea. My son had a veggie sandwich and a hot chocolate. We both agreed it was excellent.

Friendly and welcoming cafe, made us feel very welcome even with our three year old. Delicious drinks and cakes too!

A must visit & often full but worth a wait for a table. Lovely food & great staff!

A warm welcome as always,coffee and a lovely warm scone nothing better.

Came in for two breakfasts before a day of exploring York- WOW we loved it! They were both fresh and hot. The bubble and squeak was amazing and they offered my partner extra beans, toast or tomato when he asked for no mushroom on his breakfast which was a nice touch. Fast and attentive service, I would definitely come back!!

A little gem of a cafe. The staff are lovely 😍 and really accommodating. Food is fantastic. X

Another lovely lunch at Bruks again A very busy place,but nothing too much for the pleasant staff.

Called in here with our friends & 2 doggies while visiting York. one of our party went to the toilet & the staff member came over to order but we weren’t quite ready & one of our party wasn’t back yet from the toilet , but we were told they would take our order now & get the other person’s when they come back, Rushing us into ordering there & then! Coffee was nice , fruit scones were nice, my friend asked for some water for our dogs to which we were asked if we had our own bowl! ( in a dog friendly cafe you generally get water brought to you) One of the party had the coffee & walnut cake & it was very dry . The one staff member wasn’t overly friendly when we arrived, but she did improve by the time we left but it did leave us thinking it was a very strange visit.

Met-up with a friend for lunch. Very cozy atmosphere and lovely staff. Will definitely be back.

Cold inside no heating on or it felt like it. No baked potatoes they had run out at 1.40pm. Shuts at 5pm Limited menu pizza or all day breakfasts/sandwiches. Opted for the Bruck breakfast which was All very oily greasy covered in oil. £14.50 with a Tea. Would not visit again expensive for what it was. Wetherspoon’s breakfast are better that’s saying something.

Excellent service, very accommodating and we were a family of 8. They went out of their way to make us welcome and out tables together for us. We never felt hurried even though Bruks is in a busy area. Thank you for having us

Fantastic little Cafe, super cakes and hot chocolate to die for. We will be back on our next visit All the best for the new year and keep up the good work David n Ruth

Called for afternoon cuppa + bun

Coffee shop with good cakes, soup and sandwiches. Went with my daughter and her 1-year-old child. They were fantastic and brought out a plate of nibbles for my grandson. Really nice food and drinks. Fantastic atmosphere, high chairs and space for push chairs. They even let dogs in

Fab staff, great being dog friendly. Have been on the search for a millionaire’s shortbread to top one from 20 years ago….this takes the top spot…and I have tried so many over the years. Raspberry milkshake is also highly recommended by my son! Would 100% recommend

The caffè latte tastes very, very tasty :) it is absolutely worth a visit. Even if it's a bit hidden.

The best mince pie I've ever had ,amazing staff friendly and helpful. Would definitely visit again ,

Very nice cafe came in from a downpour and spotted it down the alleyway. Very nice mocha's and cheese scones never thought about cream cheese and chutney on one, but fantastic and will be doing it again. Coffee and walnut cake is very good

Made to feel very welcome. Delicious food, even when the seats were full we were told exactly how long we would have to wait for a table and they were usually right. Liked it so much went back a second time. My friends had soup and said it was tasty. They even shared a soup and panini between them and they split the soup into 2 bowls! . The paninis were very enjoyable. The jacket potatoes with delicious fillings were amazing. The cakes were yummy. Definitely go for the fruitcake. Best, millionaire shortbread I've tasted for a long time and the lemon and blueberry cake was delicious. Very friendly service. Food came quite quickly. Nice buzz about the place. Lovely Christmas decorations and homely feel

lovely little cafe with friendly service

We visited today and I would certainly return. The range of cakes and coffees was amazing. I had a delicious spiced pumpkin latte and my mum enjoyed a slice of Christmas cake served with cheese. The service was exceptional and we'd certainly return. Thank you!

Lovely little cafe, friendly staff. Good value. Enjoyed the homemade soup and sandwich combo.

Beautiful and warm on a cold autumn day, our late breakfast at Bruks was wonderful. The jacket potato I had was the stuff of dreams, and the service was so kind and welcoming. If I ever return to York I’ll be returning here.

Wow what a fantastic place so quaint and lovely could not recommend enough. The staff were fantastic so friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was 10 out of 10

Always a lovely welcome, good coffee and toasted teacake

A great find. Tucked away from the crowds, this cafe served a great panini and coffee. Friendly, helpful staff too.

Lovely cafe, yummy food & drink & great customer service, staff who take the time to chat to customers. We went yesterday & had delicious paninis, went back today for coffee & cake- well worth visiting again, the savoury cheese scones & cake both lovely. Will definitely visit again when we’re in York- a wonderful small, independent business who really seem to value their customers (including remembering us from yesterday- not many places in York do that!)

Great breakfast spot! We had the bacon, sausage, egg sandwich on a baguette and a scone and everything was delicious and came out quick. Coffee was good. Staff were professional and accommodating. Very nice place, would recommend.

Very cozy and comfortable atmosphere! Cream of mocha was really delicious and staffs were very nice ☺️❤️

Great spot and delightful staff, but felt that they wanted to rush us, as we only had coffee and did not spend money on lunch.

I had a nice pistachio and chocolate milkshake .I had a nice sausage and egg sandwich. Very friendly staff

Little unassuming cafe with great food, coffee, people and vibes. Such a good little cafe, simple as that.

We meet up for coffee and always good.

Excellent hard to spot local's cafe with excellent food, service and prices. So good we had to try it twice.

A lovely cafe with friendly staff (one of whom saluted me!) and the most delicious food. We had a tea cake and salmon and scrambled eggs on toast. And rustic but very clean settings!

Very lovely and warm cafe. Mostly senior customers. Cozy soft sofa seat, and comfortable distance between tables. Giving a free little homemade biscuit with every coffee drinks. Will definitely visit again to check out the food.

I had a breakfast sandwich, in a baguette. (I'd asked for white, but I'm not complaining) The scone my mum had was apparently very nice, as was the coffee

Stumbled across this hidden gem. First rate food and top drawer service 👌

Lovely little place staff very friendly ,selection of vegan & veggie items

Went here for lunch. Had cheese scone that was freshly baked and still warm. Enjoyed it so much that I went back for breakfast the next day!

Lovely little shop out of the way, lovely staff, food and drink was beautiful. Very very welcome, really lovely decorations.

Lovely staff, delicious food, great coffee and cozy atmosphere. Oh, and all day breakfast!

Food was delicious ,service was fantastic

Visited this lovely cafe today whilst in town. Very friendly service and beautiful food. We had a home made scone with cream and jam which was out of this world. Will definitely visit again

Lovely place to come with the children for lunch or a cake. Loads of games available to keep the kids amused and the service is some of the best I have had. Highly recommend.

Absolutely love this place. Friendly staff, great food and welcoming atmosphere. It’s one of the best places to get an all day breakfast, with a menu for both the meat overs and the vegans.

A fabulous little hidden gem. We went for breakfast and it was excellent. The fried eggs were perfectly done, the mushrooms and tomatoes on toast were cooked perfectly and the home made bubble and squeak was sublime. On top of this, the staff were friendly, clearly knew their stuff and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely well worth a visit!

Delightful. Hidden down a side-street but a lovely place that’s miles away from the faceless big chains. Friendly staff, great coffee, lovely food.

Lovely little place, staff friendly and welcoming

A Little Gem 💎 Book a table not to miss Excellent food with friendly staff 👌

I first went to Bruks on a day trip to York several years ago and it was such a good experience I always go back there on my infrequent visits. The staff are friendly, the menu is imaginative, and the food is good!

Delicious vegan baguette for lunch, which was more interesting that you often get! And really tasty coffee.

Excellent lovely food and staff

Excellent independent cafe for cakes coffee and breakfast

Managed to get a table and both had great paninnis. Ham ,cheddar & mango chutney and a ham , brie & cranberry. Lovely staff as always.... Bruks has improved even more , its such a relaxing café and happy helpful staff .... well done

Really great food staff super friendly 🥰 and dog friendly which really helps Ruby loved her biscuits thank you 🤩

An unpretentious café with good food and lovely staff.

Gorgeous ice cream but a bit expensive.

Nice cake , good coffee , Dog friendly

Lovely cafe . Best cakes and coffee whilst staying in yorkshire. Very dog friendly.

Popped in for a Breafast Sandwich: Bacon, Egg, and Sausage. It was delicious. You could taste the quality in the bacon and sausages, especially. With an Americano Coffee, it came to just over £10. Really nice, friendly vibe, in here with polite, professional staff. It's situated centrally, in York City centre, but amazingly, off the beaten track, so a little gem for those in the know 😉 Highly recommended and will always pop in here for a light bite 👍🏾

We happened upon this cafe as it was right outside our Airb&b and I couldn’t recommend it enough. The full English breakfast was generous, delicious, and cooked fresh to order. The coffee was good, too. Plus, I popped out to the shop next door, and the staff member thoughtfully waited till I got back to make it so it didn’t go cold. They were really friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return if I’m in York again.

Perfect little spot. Great food and a smashing cuppa

One of if not the best places for a breakfast in town the food is delicious and the staff are amazing and friendly. And it's very reasonably priced for the quality you get

Bruks is one of our go-to spots for a truly family-friendly lunch in York. They do magical work! I often opt for the homemade quiche. Hammy and cheesy…and, no that’s not a review of my tour! Absolutely delicious, far better than any shop-bought quiche I’ve had. Our mini wizards usually go for sausage, scrambled eggs and beans and a hot chocolate ‘with everything on it’ in an unBEARably cute animal mug. The seafood baguette with salmon and prawns is a favourite too (well, it’d be shellfish not to!) This is a cafe that understands what families need. The Kids Menu is great value, and there’s plenty to choose from too. Dominoes, Connect 4, and baby toys and books help keep the kids entertained! Staff go the extra mile to make sure that smaller visitors are well catered for, even checking which elements of salad my eldest wanted. ‘Lettuce’ face it, kids can be picky so this level of customer service is appreciated. On a practical note, an accessible toilet with clean baby-changing facilities is another plus that I know parents will appreciate. Gluten-free and vegan menu options are also available. Whether you’re local or visiting from afar, I highly recommend Bruks for a slap-up family feast. Oh, and it’s one of my favourite spots for a Full English Breakfast too…with that all-important black pudding! The Wizard of York (Wizard Walk of York)

Service was excellent, the place is nice, the food is tasty. Lovely place to have lunch with friends or family.

Nice cosy cafe.very friendly staff.

This hidden gem was just perfect for lunch. Not fancy, flashy or overpriced, just decent, fresh, honest fayre. Gluten free, veggie, vegan options aplenty. Only down side, don't be seduced by the cakes!

Superb English breakfast and hot chocolate, and scones 😍 very friendly atmosphere! Staff is amazing, everyone was so polite and friendly! Will come back and bring my friends!

Excellent breakfast, piping hot and no beans in a stupid small dish

Friendly cafe, with easy, good food. Had a great hot chocolate. Lots of veggie and vegan options.
