Bruks Coffee Shop in York

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 ☺️❤️

A hidden gem which I recommend you to find! Lovely cosy atmosphere with charming staff. Coffee delicious as is the great Danishes! Will be going back. They have breakfast,lunch & cakes!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

Excellent independent cafe for cakes coffee and breakfast

Excellent lovely food and staff

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)

Nice cosy cafe.very friendly staff.

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

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.

Found this lovely cafe and popped in the team were wonderful service was amazing and food was too will be back definitely recommended.

We went down a snicket and found a place to have breakfast, the servie was very friendly and the food was delicious. I asked for gluten free bread, they where very happy to accommodate my need.

Was on holiday in York with family and was looking for a lunch stop that was just for a quick stop with basic lunch food and not a restaurant. Came across Brucks. Had a great variety for a lunch menu and the food was delicious. Lovely home baking also. Very comfortable and relaxing stop whilst sight seeing. Catered well for my children and lovely attention given with games and colouring. Was so relaxed stayed much longer than expected. Would return if we visit York again.

Absolutely lovely, fantastic welcome from charming staff, lovely food (not expensive) and wonderfully equipped for young children. It was tip top!!

I have usually jacket potatoe with beans and vegan sarnie. I am very impressed with the quality of the food, very tasty

Brilliant cafe, I travel quite a lot, and this reminded me of my hometown, so so much. Fantastic choices of hot drinks, soft drinks and food. My friend joining me had no clue what Bubble n Squeak was, and the staff offered and proceeded to cook a small bowl up for him to try, free of charge. I will be returning here, when my trips take me to/through York!

What a gorgeous find! Amazing atmosphere - warm and welcoming. Delicious food, and wonderful people. I felt right at home and was looked after beautifully. Can't wait to be back!

Great English Breakfast as always

Lovely little cafe and coffee shop, only stopped in for a hot drink but the atmosphere is lovely and the owners/managers are super friendly, will definitely visit again for a snack.

Absolutely superb lunch at this fabulous café in York. Sweet potato and ginger soup was the best I’ve ever tasted and The vegan flapjack was wonderful. Not enough superlatives, this is a gem of a place. Extremely friendly and welcoming staff.

Found this today by chance, and I'm so glad we did. The food was delicious, and the staff were very welcoming even though they were busy. Will definitely be going back on future visits to York

Found this amazing little cafe when searching for a yummy vegan breakfast online for our trip to York for my 30th Birthday! What an absolutely perfect breakfast we had, from the gorgeous bubble and squeak, to the one of a kind iced latte and the friendly service. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived and I have to say it is the vegan breakfast we have ever had and my favourite iced latte! We will be back whenever we visit York again! Definitely would recommend!

A great little find! Tucked down an alley we found this little gem by chance. We had coffee and scones which were delicious. Looking at the menu they had some great lunch offerings too so we will be back! Great service and a relaxed vibe in the cafe, thank you!!

Favourite cafe in York. Great bacon butties, good coffee and cakes, all served with a smile by the lovely staff. Tucked away down an alley but worth looking for.

Lovely food and drinks. Staff friendly and creat a welcoming atmosphere.

This was a chance find when it started to rain. It is great! The staff were friendly, my little boy was given an age appropriate toy to play with as soon as we sat down. I saw older children offered "connect for" and drawings to do. The food was delicious. They said that as they were really busy the food would be delayed, but actually it came out really quickly.

Just THE BEST brunch in York. Great atmosphere, wonderful staff and outstanding coffee. If you are in York and looking for a great cafe, this is the place. Cannot recommend enough.

A cosy little side street cafe in York, wonderfully attentive 2 ladies in there, food and drink at very reasonable prices too, more of these and less of the big Corp places please!

Quiet and welcoming place with friendly staff. The vegan breakfast was perfect! Great portion and very tasty

Fell upon this after avoiding the queue at Bettys at noon. Still a queue here but only waited about ten minutes, staff came out with menu for us to look at and place order (if we wanted to) to avoid a wait inside. As it happened a table for two became available so we ordered inside. The scrambled eggs were so tasty. Hubby had a breakfast which looked great and he said tasted really good. Friendly staff, plenty of choice and lovely coffee. Very calm atmosphere even though full and busy. Will definitely go back when we visit York again. 😊👍🏼

Wonderful small cafe. We were there several times. Very tasty food and cakes. Wonderful. A must - if you visit York. Thanks again. Best regards from Germany

Just the loveliest little hidden gem in york ,me and my husband visit regularly ,the cafe is spotlessly clean staff are so friendly ,the foods just as you'd expect ,and scones to die for ! Felt lucky enough on a busy Christmas satirday to get a table as we thought it would be just too busy with visitors ,but we were so lucky to get a cosy table for 2 for a warm latte before escaping the craziness !!! Thank-you to the owner who males tou feel like old friends whenever we're in ,and for yesterdays kind gesture, Merry Christmas to you all x

What an amazing find 🤩 Fantastic Christmas cake and cheese, with pot of tea. Husband mince pie and clotted cream ….. delicious and home made . Cosy atmosphere, friendly staff Highly recommend this gem of a place 😊

Amazing cafe 😊 Found by chance and what a find it was! Amazing lovely personal service. Nothing too much trouble ! Catered for both us parents and the kids! Would deffo recommend ! So welcoming and friendly which can be very difficult to find these days! On our return to york we will be back ! Thank you !!

Day out in York. Looking for somewhere to eat we noticed the sign for this little cafe. Its so busy you can queue for a table, but we were lucky and there was 1 table for 2. Table service, its not fast food, so there is a wait, but this is freshly prepared, to requirements food. Hubby has scrambled egg on toast. Loads of flavour in the eggs and cooked the way he liked them. I had the potato and leek soup. They dont skimp on their orders. Would highly recommend this lovely, friendly cafe with excellent food. We didnt sample the cakes as we were full, but they are ENORMOUS and made on site.

We were looking for a cafe to stop and have a coffee and a bite to eat. This little gem can be easily missed and I spotted it as we stood at the end of the street it resides on. Beautiful place and excellent priced food . The staff are first class for hospitality. We will be visiting again definitely +++++

Did some research from our hotel room the night before to find this amazing place! Wonderful breakfast, amazing staff and very accommodating with our little girl which made the experience much more fun. Thank you for making us feel welcome and thank you for a proper full English breakfast. We will definitely revisit on our next trip to York

Friendly staff and good service

Amazing Cafe! The service was wonderful and the food was amazing!!

A great cafe with beautiful homemade cake (the lady who makes them is a genius). Fantastic place 😀

Have been a few times and will be going again soon.

The staff are bloody lovely. My friend and I went off in search of the cute little cafe experience and we got it. Perfect little spot for a rainy day. We had a sandwich and a panini with a milkshake each. The food and drinks were “divine” said my friend, multiple times. Again, the staff Made the perfect atmosphere for the kick off to our holiday. Thank you ladies x

Amazing cafe, lovely staff and excellent food. Such a great vibe, hidden diamond in York! Highly recommend, will be back again.

Great cafe tucked down a side street. But still in the middle of York. Lovely full English breakfast. Nice ladies and a warm welcome on a rainy day. Coffee was good too. We shall make it our regular stop for breakfast or brunch or for one of their tasty cheese scones. Why go to Costa when you can visit a clean, looked after and friendly small business doing a fabulous job?

What a wonderful way to start our adventures in York. The place is tucked down a little alleyway but with seeking out. They are very welcoming and attentive. We had great food and felt very well looked after. Shared a table with the loveliest couple. This feel like an authentic local place and there are just not enough good things I can say other than I’d be happy to spend more time here with the lovely staff and another flat white. :)

What a gem! This place has to be one of the best child and dog friendly places in York. Very busy with many being turned away but helpfully given the option of returning to a reserved table a short time later. The food was very good with Mrs S saying her chicken, bacon and Mayo toasted sandwich was the best she had ever had (and she’s had a few!). All very fresh, quality food. Excellent coffee and hot chocolate. We will definitely return next time in York.

Late breakfast on first day of weekend in York. Staff can’t do enough and food and drinks good portions of quality. Pretty basic so nothing fancy or offbeat but just what we wanted at the time.

Lovely cafe. Friendly staff and very tasty fresh food. Highly recommended.

We both really wanted some lovely home made soup,and we were not disappointed,we had the carrot and corriander home made soup with a toasted sandwich and it was really lovely,3 lovely ladies ,fantastic service with a smile and lovely home cooking,cosy coffee shop with comfy...

What a smashing little cafe we were greeted immediately as we entered by very pleasant staff shown to a table where we ordered 2 full English breakfasts and 2 bacon sandwiches tea and coffee, whilst waiting on our order we were given a lovely plate...

What an experience, good old fashioned service,from friendly staff. Freshly cooked full English to die for.amazing.

Beautiful little cafe with super friendly staff. Food was perfect and we were give connect 4 to play while we waited which our little boy loved. Deffo worth a visit

Bruks cafe is such a fantastic place to have lunch, it offers everything and has got all the facilities needed. I am very impressed with the quality of service that is offered and I would like to greatly thank the following staff: Julie, Andrea and...

Been to this cafe twice with friend’s will definitely be going back, the food was hot& delicious, credit to the ladies who cook& prepare the food,the service was excellent, very friendly& efficient staff, thank you ladies for your excellent food& hospitality🥰

Amazing cake and a lovely atmosphere. The staff are freind let and the cafe, tucked down a side street, has a warm and homely feel to it. You wouldn't guess that you are in the middle of a busy tourist spot.

Such a lovely and delicious, childfriendly café. Very cozy and our children got games to play with. Good variety of lunch and cakes.
