It's ok but it isn't what it used to be. It's lacking the atmosphere it had since it was taken over

Nice little spot to relax for a bit and browse some reasonably-priced second-hand records, or have a drink and admire the record sleeves embedded into the tables.

I don’t know where to start I come to this cafe most Thursday mornings before I go to my counselling sessions and it’s such a great friendly place for someone who suffers with mental health) ptsd I find it super difficult to go to places on my own but they truly have made me so comfortable and relaxed to go in I go get my delicious hot chocolate and sit on the elvis table and relax and last week the lovely owner even came over and had a little chat with me which was super nice and lovely I’m constantly telling others about this beautiful cafe and the amazing records they have that you can but I bought a few now and they haven’t disappointed me also I can’t write a review without mentioned the amazing decor of artist pictures and the tables my favourite is the guitars on the wall and the super cool jukebox In the corner never seen one before and they are definitely interesting to look at thank you for always making me feel welcome ☺️

I'm not sure what has happened to this place. We used to come all the time and thought it was fantastic. However, we have visited after a year or so to find it a shell of its former self! The atmosphere has completely changed from a chilled, laid-back vibe with sofas, to a loud, man-cave crammed with tables. The menu is the same but the food quality has plummeted. We used to love the Mexican Fender toastie, it had slices of real avocado and was spicy. Now it is bland and seems to be guacamole from a bottle. The coffee is still good. I hope it can get back some of its spark, because this place used to be amazing!

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.

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.

(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.

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 .

Excellent pub, we unwittingly ordered 2 steaks meals and a bottle of white wine without realising it was on a promotion deal...nice surprise when we received the final bill. We loved the cheese board and I loved the Leeds Leodis beer. Staff were excellent and a great friendly atmosphere. Revisited in November 2024 on a Sunday evening and still excellent, friendly pub with amazing food. Just love this pub, wish I had it near my home.
