Cafe 42 in York - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

best coffee in town, super cute interior!! 🌸

Great cute little place 💕iced blueberry matcha was so lovely and the vegan cookie was delicious.

Really enjoyed a very tasty breakfast and very friendly and good advice. What we didn't find so comfortable was the very sparse back room and everything a bit backwards with a construction site atmosphere. When that's done it's a clear recommendation

Cute place, great food! The little pig to takeaway was superb! Tasty bacon and brie and the bread and butter pudding with cinnamon was yummy!

Delicious coffee and very serene atmosphere. Staff is great, Maisey and bessie are super nice!

Such a cute little cafe. Enjoyed my black coffee. I liked it. And the stuff is lovely too 🤍

Nice little place, friendly, helpful staff. Enjoyed our lunch, sausage bap, cheese and tomato sandwich and good coffee. Would definitely recommend.

What a great little find this cafe was! We were strolling by and ducked in to be very warmly greeted by the 2 girls running the place - just what you’d expect in Yorkshire! A really cool and cosy cafe. We got a great big mug of coffee - which was excellent and smooth. We also ordered 2 toasted sourdough sandwiches - Falafel & hummus and Mozzarella, tomato & pesto and they were both fabulous. They were toasted to perfection - not too crunchy - just right. We’ll definitely pop in again, we didn’t have chance to have one of their delicious looking cakes - a good excuse to return!

Excellent service. Hearty cafe food and drinks at fair prices.

Coffee's pretty good for northern England. I still don't understand how people think avo toast = cut slices of avo placed on very dry, thin toast. Bad salad. Nice window at the front for watching the street; further back in the café, where the backed chairs are, feels somewhat like a storage back-room. Nice servers, can't be faulted.

Perfect spot for a cozy cafe sitdown. Exceptional service.

Great food, very affordable and great portion sizes. Vibes immaculate, all staff were lovely

Seriously good coffee, and a cafe open early enough to buy a coffee BEFORE work! Also more reasonably priced than other cafes in the Micklegate area.

Beautiful cafe, feel like I'm drinking delightful coffee in nature. Chatty and friendly staff and delicious cakes. Small step at front but pretty accessible

absolutely amazing cafe, often come here during my frees at sixth form for somewhere quiet to study either by myself or with friends. The staff are lovely and both the food and drinks are always great.

Gorgeous little cafe! Amazing service and food 🥰 So close to the train station too, Highly recommend!

Went in today for a bacon and sausage sandwich. Told it was £9. I turned round and left. £9 is day light robbery. Cafe84 just up the road is significantly better, but unfortunately closed on Saturday

Absolutely lovely, from the quality of the drinks to the service. Thanks :)

Delicious coffee and amazing bacon roll!

Lovely calm and popular cafe with lovely food and drink. Very warm and accommodating staff. Definitely recommended. Dog friendly too.

Great place, friendly staff, delicious coffee and gluten free cake, a little gem.

Had the pleasure of an espresso and a sausage bap plus some cakes at Cafe 42. Lovely warm welcome, great coffee and food. Bought some York Emporium beans (Cafe 42 blend) to take home. Loved the cafe ❤️

Lovely spot, very peaceful, friendly staff

Great coffee, gorgeous pastries, really friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere! Dog friendly too :-)

Food was good but one of my mates felt put off by the atmosphere as they had lost there voice and when she waved bye to the staff they started laughing at them

Good quality food served with a friendly smile

Lovely staff and a gorgeous coffee shop! I was not a fan of the coffee, but that was just personal taste.

A really relaxing place to go. Will visit again.

Lovely coffee and bacon butties. Local cafe for our team when we’re in the office!

Excellent coffee and sandwiches!

Lovely place, great vibe, friendly staff, cracking coffee & blinding bacon butty. What's not to like. Just go there.

Excellent Coffee and especially delicious blend of Espresso beans.

A hidden gem. Always great food with great service.

A beautiful little café in York. Great food and amazing service with super lovely staff.

Lovely sourdough and bacon. Lovely staff.

Everything was fine. I enjoyed my toastie and cup of tea

Lovely coffee, staff friendly, clean cafe

It's one of the best sausage sandwiches i have had in a long time.

Great place but no wifi available at all 😕

Such a lovely, friendly environment and the nicest food available!

A lovely little cafe between Mickelgate and the city centre. The coffee was particularly delicious. The decor is very pleasant, the music relaxing, and the service friendly.

Super cute cafe, food and coffee were really nice and the staff were lovely! Don’t know their names but the blonde and brunette girls working on Saturday were very friendly and professional☺️

Delicious coffee, friendly staff

Not cheap, but friendly, good coffee and great sourdough sausage bap - one of the best I've had.

Breakfast b4 the races Great food

Warm welcome and efficient service. The bacon roll was lovely and so was the coffee. Limited menu but what we had was good.

Fist time customer today - I will be back, great tasting coffee, a lovely blend, and refreshing to see staff who smile and are genuinely pleasant. It makes a real difference.

La caratteristica è certamente l accoglienza e il personale molto gentile. Inoltre è un posto informale dove puoi prendere un semplice caffè o pranzare con calma. Alcuni sono fermi con il loro cappuccino a leggere un libro altri stanno pranzando...insomma un posto tranquillo. Molto carino. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

Lovely little cafe with friendly staff, a nice vibe and excellent coffee

Great for an early morning coffee... And the sausage breakfast roll will set you up till lunch

Amazing food! Love the bacon sandwiches, I try go for one as much as possible! Amazing coffee!

Good sized tea and coffee mugs and nice food. Staff were so friendly and helpful with our request to have a deconstructed sandwich for our autistic son.

Great value for money. Came across this cafe on a week day morning and was glad I stopped in. A friendly warm greeting. I never went through the back as I sit at the window bench. A lot of locals come in for sitting in or take away. I had a link roll (sausages in a roll), blimey, I think half a pig was in there. I wasn't expecting that many sausages, definitely more than 4 in there, but they were lovely pork sausages, the best I had in a while. Hot chocolate as it was cold that morning. While people watching, I noticed they had a jar of dog treats and a bowl, a dog-friendly cafe. If back in York, I would pop in here again.

Absolutely lovely friendly and cool cafe to work in, relax in from first thing onwards. Great wifi, desk set up, porridge and superb locally roast and perfectly made coffee. And best of all the service and atmosphere they create. Been coming back here time ans again - it’s fantastic value - and long May that continue!

Amazing Matcha latte! Staff are very friendly and the cafe is the perfect reading spot.

Super coffee Good work space, vibe, and staff

Stopped for the most delicious bacon sandwich a few weeks ago. The bacon was crispy, just how my partner likes and the coffee was really good. The toilets were clean and tidy. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!!

Popped in for coffee. Snacks and cakes are available.

Small cafe with limited food options but the panini's were very tasty and the smoothies were excellent. Vegan dining is possible.

Great place to stop for a tea or coffee on the way into central York. Staff are so freindly and take a genuine interest in you. 5* service from a 5* cafe in my opnion! Not one to be missed!

Great coffee, nice friendly atmosphere. Quiet working spaces available at the back

This small café seems small and tight, but it is very comfortable. The barista is friendly, the tea is good, and they have free WiFi. In fact there were a couple other people working in there when I arrived and even more when I left.

Visited Sep 22 & found coffee good, cakes very tasty, staff very friendly - highly recommended!

I work from home and wanted a different environment for a day. This is was perfect, dedicated room for those working vs normal cafe people, solid WiFi, there is even a meeting room if you want a bit more privacy. Great prices on food and drinks, great quality - not a single fault.

مكان جميل للقهوة والقراءة العاملين لطيفين 👍

Hidden little gem in the Micklegate. Well worth the small walk from the centre to grab great food and coffee and a very friendly personal service.

Such a wonderful cafe with the most amazing staff. Coffee is incredible and atmosphere is just great.

We came in both mornings we were in York for the bacon bap and hot drink deal (just under £5 if I recall correctly) while walking from our Ibis to the centre. Not an exaggeration when I say they were the most delicious bacon baps I've ever had. My god that sourdough is to die for. Cured our hangovers beautifully on the second morning (context for the ibuprofen in shot). Incredibly friendly and genuine staff. Lovely coffee and mocha. Really wish we could be regulars!

Lovely staff and amazing bacon sandwich, maybe the best mocha around.

It has an amazing staff and the food is and smells incredible! Even though it is small, it is a cozy and comfortable area!

The coffee blend used at cafe 42 is like non over to what I have ever tasted it has a very clean and nice atmosphere cafe with friendly and welcoming staff. This is nothing compared to coffee chains you have been at, the blends and care put into every cup is astounding! The interior, with the menu on the wall written in chalk and the lights and greenary work really well to create such a cosy atmosphere. Definitely will be returning!

Just had tea and cakes but all splendid.

Very friendly and great coffee!

Very friendly service, good breakfast and dog friendly. Thanks for being so welcoming! Wonderful view of the church.

Great little coffee shop and you can work out of the back room too

The best cafe in York. The coffee along with a toasted panini is delicious. It’s a must if you are visiting the city. The staff are welcoming, friendly and went above and beyond on my visit. I will most definitely be returning to try even more of the treats available. Amazing experience😋

Great little coffee shop, amazing bacon barm the roll was crusty and bacon really tasty. Great spot to have breakfast with a nice calm atmosphere definitely reccomend

Lovely staff and amazing service. The fudge brownie was incredible 👍🏻👍🏻

It's safe to return! I used to come here all the time as it was a great place to sip good coffee and watch the world go by, but then the manager(?) changed and the atmosphere (and with it levels of friendliness!) changed drastically so I stopped coming. I walked by today and noticed that the staff were different so I chanced it and popped in - turns out there's a new team and a new manager and they're lovely. Smiles! Friendliness! Good coffee! Ladies and gents, it is officially safe to return to Cafe 42! 🎉

Cafe 42 .. Great service, great baps and fabulous coffee... the answer to life the universe and everything

Lovely coffee great customer service and dog friendly

Lovely little cafe with such friendly service. We had the most lovely sourdough breakfast bap's. Coffee was amazing! More of this please!

Called in a couple of days ago for a light lunch snack. Had the hummus and cheddar panini's, fabulous. Good mug of Yorkshire tea each and set up for the shops. Give it a try.

Great breakfast, lovely sourdough baps, nice atmosphere too.

Went for the first time and this was so lovely. The team were so friendly, especially Maeve! Will definitely return

This is how nice the breakfasts are! Definitely recommend this little gem. Delicious porridge and hubby enjoyed his sausage in sourdough. With fresh coffee, a tenner for breakfast for 2. Very friendly too, we'll be back!

Now the cafe is under new management it is great! Very friendly and attentive service, lovely environment.

The coworking space at the back of this cafe makes a great change of scenery when I want a break from working from home. Really love the Cafe42 coffee blend, and wifi is super fast! Friendly staff and good service :)

Pleasant enough cafe, but was let down when I paid for a membership for the coworking space in the back. Communication and support were almost non-existent (no information on accessing wifi, using perks such as drinks discounts, etc). Maybe it will improve in time but I can't recommend it based on the experience I had.

Really good oat latte and my wife love the hot chocolate. Really good value

Please note that this isn't Divine Coffee Roasters anymore, they are further up the street now. But this place is still nice, and serves some good coffee.

Cold hot chocolate poor Service

Disappointing Trying to try a few new places and spread the trade around a bit of late and make use of the eat out to help out scheme so decided to try here for brunch. Firstly it seemed everything we tried to order had a part out of stock but eventually got 2 paninis and 2 drinks ordered. Then had to explain how the 'eat out to help out scheme worked to avoid being over charged which was challenging. I wonder how many people they have overcharged by accident so far! One of the paninis was pre-made and had been in the fridge which is fine, however its not fine if its not properly warmed leaving the middle of it cold! The other panini was fine, nothing special but would eat again (if it wasn't for the other issues there) Overall, disappointing sums it up.

Absolutely out-of-this-world hospitality 👌🏼

Basic menu on a Saturday,just paninis

Nice coffee and good WiFi, and there seems to be a friendly group of regulars. On the downside, the working area is a windowless room behind the cafe; there was a distinct smell as though a drain was blocked somewhere which got stronger over the course of the morning (I bailed out before lunchtime as it was pretty unpleasant) and an occasional loud blast from a pump kicking in somewhere overhead. There also isn't much in the way of food - just pre-made paninis.

The coffee was okay. The workspace in the back is well lit, but no windows. Good variety of desk types. Slightly musty smell. Trendy atmosphere.

Easy going shared work space. Great space, great service.

Brilliant place to work! Warm with coffee on tap. I shall be back.
