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.

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.

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

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.

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!!!!

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!

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)
