FortyFive Vinyl Cafe in York - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Only went in for drinks and all of us chose.different flavoured smoothies which were very nice. Owner was very nice and helpful. Place was dog friendly and we will be going back. Plenty of live music gigs coming up.

Just happened upon this place. Good tea and amazing hot choc. Place with a laid back rock vibe happening. We spent a pleasant 3/4 hour made to feel welcome and friendly not touristy. Good luck!

Ian and Rebecca have created a real gem. A warm, friendly welcome, lovely food and brilliant music at affordable prices. Can’t wait to come back.

Dropped by spontaneously… great shop. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed great music… Drinks were delicious

Great place,good music and great atmosphere.

What a great little find in York, music and decor was spot on service was amazing would highly recommend

The Coolest Cafe to sit, listen to music, and have a toasty for breakfast.. Full of Musical Memorabilia, including Signed Guitars and Vinyls on the walls and Retro Juke Box.. It also has live music on Selected Nights... And a Bar... Brilliant... Good luck to the owner..

Great place to grab a bit and enjoy the tunes.

Food was overpriced. Service was freindly and got the job done nicely. Nice selection of music and all themed nicely.

Nice place for a coffee and great music

Had a breakfast sandwich and a coffee. The bees knees 🐝. Nice ambient atmosphere owner seem very passionate as its tastfully personalised. Will visit again.

Wow what a place for rock nostalgia. Loads of items to look at whilst enjoying a drink.

Brilliant little cafe. Love the decor! Good value and free jukebox. Winner for a music lover 😊

Loved it, music lovers would be very happy to spend an afternoon soaking up the atmosphere. If there had been tickets available I would have gone back one evening for the live music whilst we were in York. Great coffee too

We stumbled on 45 on the way into York from the station. The coffee (best cafe-brewed coffee ever), cake and atmosphere were so good that we called by on our way back to the station for beer (great range including no-alcohol) and pie. It's unique, and it's friendly. Even for someone not that interested in music the photos, juke-box and general atmosphere are really engaging. The owner is good to talk to too.

Stumbled upon this place from the rain what gem definitely will be back.

Fantastic atmospheric cafe. Truly one of a kind. Walls are lined with 60s pop memorabilia and have a great playlist. Most customers were singing along to their faves. Ordered a toastie which was slightly overcooked almost burnt. Average taste but hot and filling. They need to rethink the bread used, especially at the slightly higher than average prices charged. In this town. Their baileys chocolate is a wonderful treat and well recommended.

Lovely toasties and atmosphere. Vinyl to buy. Live music as well but unfortunately not while we were staying in York.

Grilled cheese and a juke box. Vinyl to peruse and purchase. Intimate gigs throughout the year. Give it some indie love!

Cool place to browse some vinyl over a coffee!

Lovely and very accommodating staff

Can't believe we've been into York (local) so many times and not dropped in here. Our sort of music and the greatest cheese toasties possible. No idea about any other food but the toastie menu is awesome. Perfect atmosphere and vibe.

Delicious coffees. Nice atmosphere.

Absolutely a little hidden gem. If you like music this is the place to visit. The owner is great and the staff all lovely. I would argue it's a must for anyone coming to York. (Also, if you're lucky, they have live music with some good musicians playing) Oh, and the food is honest, coffee and cake (or a toastie). It's my favorite cafe in York.

As The Cars, said so many years ago, "this was just what I needed".

Great grilled sandwiches with many vegetarian and vegan options; unique atmosphere and exceptional service. This is one of our favourite places in York and we always go there when we need breakfast, light lunch or afternoon snack

Didn't eat, but had drinks. Wished we could have stayed a little longer to hear the live music, but had dinner booked in town

Went for drinks in the afternoon. Lovely space, freeplay jukebox. Owner obviously really cares about the place. Didn't eat, but cheese sandwiches looked good.

We stumbled into this wonderfully creative, welcoming and fun establishment in the middle of a game of musical bingo. What an absolute delight. A gem in every way. Thank you for the music, the Prosecco and the fun! We will return next time we are in York, in fact we would visit York again in order to visit you. Everywhere should have one of you.

Great little bar for music lovers

Just stumbled into a great night, one hit wonder music bingo, great fun and great atmosphere.

Chilled, friendly venue with excellent music. Coffee was good too 5 stars right through, slight technical Issue!

Shame no longer do the filter coffee jugs, lost it's individuality in doing so. Not as clean either which didn't inspire me to eat there this time

Go here and get a toastie! (I do almost weekly!) A lovely, cosy place with great staff, food, coffee and cocktails. If you want to listen to some good music and relax it's a must visit while in York! Oh, and don't miss out on the music bingo - the energy is unbelievable!

Love this place , we were made fantastically welcomed by the superb staff and the brilliant owner Ian , who took time out to have a blether and tell us of what the best venues in the city were . Which we acted on , to have a brilliant weekend overall . Food was excellent and the decor was eye poppingly brilliant , from signed guitars , a jukebox , albums and an array of in house collection of framed photographs taken by the owner of music stars past and present . Hugely recommend you go here , it's so unique you won't be disappointed .

The guy put depeche mode - just can’t get enough on the duke box. My son was wearing his Celtic top! Fantastic service 💚🍀🤍 HH! I have coeliac disease, I feel great no reaction to this food.

Fantastic cocktails, food, coffee, music, décor, vinyl records for sale. What's not to like?!

A unique cafe/brunch place with plenty of charm and some great toasties. The atmosphere here is unique! Nothing quite like it, lots of memorabilia and art around the walls. Service is friendly. Food is great. Really great toasties - perfect for a brunch or late lunch to keep you going.

We came as a large group while we were up in York for the weekend. Ian and the team really looked after us. Fortyfive is a great independent place with a relaxed atmosphere and great food. Will definitely be back next time I’m in York.

As ageing vegan, beer drinking, live music loving people, my girlfriend and I absolutely LOVE this place! Discovered it yesterday, had an amazing vegan breakfast, bought tickets for the evening's gig and had the most amazing time. Everyone especially the owner were very friendly, too, will deffo pop in again soon.

Nice little place, plays great music. Nice drink options. I had the hard lemonade which tasted great with a very tasty English breakfast toasties.

What an amazing place, a must visit if you love music, vinyl and memorabilia. We had vegan toasties, with a selection of fillings, they were so good. Very friendly staff. Coming back tonight for some live music!

Best cafe ever, you can play your own music on jukebox. The staff are very kind. By m, aged 8.

Brilliantly quirky music cafe with plenty of memorabilia on display. Sells vinyls too. We didn't try any good, but the menu looked good. We did sample some of the local beers which were excellent. If you are in York this is well worth a visit.

So you’re in York and your train is not for a little while? Walk on over here if it’s open. Have a beer or a coffee, listen to some tunes, chat with the friendly owner. It’s clear they made this place out of their love of music. Recommend it.

Very nice place, service and clean!!! Shame they do not have Dolly Parton up in their wall of fame!!! But great place

Bigger one of these in skipton, not into records anymore but ale and atmosphere was great.

Such a great, cosy little place. Had an awesome live music night there recently, check their website for events, we will certainly be returning

Fabulous evening of live music, friendly staff and great atmosphere.

A great Cafe/bar, with a vinyl twist. Dog friendly too.

A great night last night listening to True Foxes.

A warm welcome from friendly staff. The food was great, just what I needed for a fast lunch with a colleague. Decor was rustic with a music theme. The soundtrack for our lunch was good, not too loud, just right. Night time may be different. I will definitely put it to the top of my lunch destinations.

Vegans go here for a good toastie!!! It was delicious - and lovely dessert snacks too

Lovely music was played and nice customer service.

Great music and great toasties. Ideal for breakfast/brunch. The wait staff were friendly too.

Overpriced and poor quality drinks which is very disappointing given the cost There are far better cafes in the area so avoid this one

This is my favourite cafe in York by far! Lovely coffee and the best grilled cheese sandwiches in York by far. Also a great selection of vinyl and CDs means I stop by as often as I can. Staff are friendly and welcoming and the food and drinks are great value for money. 5*/ 5*

Fantastic place to visit, loved the interesting music related decor and whole atmosphere of the cafe. We attended a music bingo night and had a fun time. The owners were great hosts and had put on a fab event. There is a good selection of drinks available, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I would also highly recommend the grilled cheese sandwiches. We had the all-day breakfast and smokestack lighting sandwiches, and they were delicious.

Great little spot to grab a toastie and a drink while planning out your day in York. I recommend the smokestack lightning toastie!

Great little find! Great service, atmosphere l, food and drink selection 👌

Gorgeous live music venue with a good vibe and a lovely team where everyone feels welcome and included. The owners clearly care about the experience of folk that visit, and that care pays off. Great venue.

We only had drinks during our visit but the food others were eating looked great. The FortyFive is a fantastic café and I highly recommend it. It will definitely be my preference out of all the cafés in York on my next visit.

Popped in for lunch and a browse

Just had coffee but such a fun place with walls full of photos of rock and country musicians. Nothing ‘corporate’ about this cafe. Good coffee as well.

Amazing place for anyone with a love for vinyl and music. Even if you don’t love either the atmosphere and food at this cafe is brilliant. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting York

Veggie options but not much if you’re totally vegan. It’s cool though - we only came in for coffee which was great. 💕

A fantastic find, well worth a visit 😃

Delicious food, coffee and great atmosphere! ❣️

Found this cafe for breakfast after a Skinny Living gig... Great find. Full of locals. All ages. Great atmosphere. Very relaxed. Welcoming. Would recomend

A great venue and a great place to hear live music. The atmosphere was outstanding. Well worth a visit

Wow its great here the friendliest. staff food is well nice recomend coming here it's mainly toasties they do but it's a great place

The Vegan Mush-a-Boom toastie was delicious and the atmosphere was cozy, friendly and overall very welcoming, today was my second visit and I’ll definitely be back again in future!

Just what's needed to start the day on a positive note.Great coffee and brilliant surroundings 👍🏼.

This place rules! Visited twice in 2 days with my wife and daughter, the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was great and the music rocked! 10/10

2nd visit. A must do in York. Absoultey delish toasties . Ian the owner a friendly bloke too.

What a cute little place. Loved it!!

Wow! What a fantastic cafe! Absolutely loved this place! Just wish I could've stuck around longer to catch some live music! Will definitely visit again when in York!

What a great find loved it here great customer service and a great price highly recommend a visit we will definitely be back

Found this place by accident it look great from the outside so we went in. Excellent service fantastic atmosphere it's a place I would recommend you to go spend an afternoon. Great for all ages

Great atmospheric place for coffee

A lovely Cafe with the special unique style of having many other things available such as large vinyls that you can purchase

Would not recommend for coffee. All coffee is made with an aeropress so it’s never going to be “barista quality. Impossible to make an espresso which is supposed to be the basis of nearly all their coffee drinks.

What a fab venue in a great local! Superb owners and such a fabulous atmosphere. Thanks for giving us a great welcome and we'll be back soon!

Unique coffee shop, just been taken over by new owners. Sells records, food, and drinks. Good location on a busy street. Plenty ppl coming in. Look forward to visiting again.

Loved the Sauerkraut Rock toastie 😋 wife enjoyed the espresso martini too, a great licenced cheese toastie based cafe. Great atmosphere, staff good, interesting music theme photos, prints and posters, small vinyl collection too. Nice cafe bar

Genuinely nice place, even better if you're a music nerd. Menu is a little limited but it's great for a light lunch. Some may be put off with the fact that the coffee isn't brewed in a barista style but made by an aeropress. But the vibe is right and everything else makes up for that. Definitely swing by again.

Lovely little cafe and record shop. We had lunch here and the selection of grilled cheese toasties was great.

Great food. Friendly staff. Dog friendly.

What a great place to meet friends and listen to live music there is something special happening in York .. Adam Beattie and Fiona Bevan you were just beautifully talented as always .. it was a great night x

I was lured in by the vinyl, stayed for the coffee. Nice relaxing family atmosphere and a good cuppa. Friendly attentive staff too. Although the vinyl selection was small I did find something worth picking up so all in all a very enjoyable and successful visit!

Love the relaxed atmosphere in this place, very nice coffee and awesome toasties. Would love to see a gig sometime.

More of a cafe than a vinyl cafe. Vinyl is limited but nice place for a coffee. Reasonably priced £2 for a tea)

Great coffee, good atmosphere. A nice place to work from if you need to work out of the office.

This place is a total gem. The toasties are absolutely delicious. Excellent selection of hot and cold drinks and craft beers. Atmosphere really relaxed. Will be visiting every time I'm in York.

Love this cafe in York. It has a really comfortable, welcoming vibe that was sorely needed! Food choices are limited but also makes choosing a lot easier, and are ao tasty! Would definitely visit again.

Great for a coffee or a night of drinks with friends, with regular live music it's a chill and friendly atmosphere.

Great little spot for a light bite and something to drink. We stopped on the way back to the station after a weekend in York and it was the perfect pitstop!

Pequeño, acogedor y café muy bueno.

Great place lovely staff great food &drink ...lovely decor. Dog friendly too

Nice drinks, and good records. Found some unexpected vinyl there for an excellent price.
