Henshelwoods Deli in York

Shambles Korner did not disappoint! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated. The atmosphere was fantastic, with a relaxing atmosphere and soothing ambience that made for a perfect start to the day. We opted for the Full English Breakfast, and it was nothing short of exceptional—easily a 10/10! Whether you’re visiting York or a local looking for a great spot, I highly recommend Shambles Korner for a relaxed, high-quality service and food!

A nice place where we had breakfast, being served impeccably. Good coffee and great breakfast!

Visited for breakfast and had the Eggs Royale. Lovely dish and well presented with a good amount of food. Service was fast and friendly. The place is not huge so you may find it full especially at busy times. Recommended.

Very sweet and relaxed cafe. Try the Bombay Breakfast.

Lovely place food and staff, loved it here

Perfect in every way. Spinach smoothie was amazing, great med salad and pizza. Great service, great food - and very relaxed!

Lovely atmosphere, great food and service

Lovely service, fantastic food!! Will be coming again in the near future.

An absolutely great place to have brunch in York, well placed just out of the way of the Shambles so you can have the bustling atmosphere without it being too noisy and overwhelming. We sat outside and it was lovely. The food was also great, large portion sizes and nicely cooked. Had the spicy hash and fish finger sandwich and loved both. Service was also top quality, all had a smile on their face and were super friendly and helpful. Would 100% recommend and commend them for not putting prices up and lowering food quality just because it’s in a tourist spot. Very pleasantly surprised!

Lovely little Restaurant went in for a Biscoff coffee and some food was so delicious would highly recommend

Shambles Korner could definitely be not only named after its location but mainly for food that is being served up there. I cannot recollect having such poor food for a very long time while eating out. My son's shambles burger looked and tasted as it would have been the cheapest and poorest quality of meat, while my fish finger sandwich had two small, overcooked and super fatty fish fingers of very questionable quality. Chips tasted as would have been cooked in oil that was used for far too long. A very small portion of so called spaghetti bolognese, which I ordered for my 2 years old son, was minging and cost us almost £7. The only positive when it comes to food was asparagus halloumi. Service and atmosphere below average. Even if I was very hungry I would not be back here again. Shambles.

Was very busy, but worth the wait. Everything tasted freshly baked/prepared, and from the secret family cookbook. So good!

Amazing service...food was visually mesmerising, great to taste, & filling...I'd highly recommend ordering Eggs Florentine & Vanilla Cheesecake ✨

Nice quaint little find for breakfast. We had the Eggs Royale, very tasty and generous portions. Very reasonably priced as well.

Really nice place for breakfast. They were very accommodating and tailored one of their meals to suit a kid in our group.

The service here is AMAZING everyone who works here is so kind and helpful ! And the food was amazing too ~ I went here a few days ago with my best friend but I will definitely be going back soon ! Highly recommend going if you’re nearby ~

What a find!! Right in the heart of the Shambles in York. Shambles Korner caters for all foodies, coffee lovers and everyone in between. Great calm atmosphere, superb food, excellent coffees and absolutely lovely staff. So polite and welcoming. Prices are very competitive and vegan options available too. What a lovely place to eat. even better.... dogs are welcome too. A must visit.

Food was amazing 3 meals and drinks for £35 staff excellent value for money excellent the burger was the best I've had in a while and that's from a cafe

Really good breakfast and nice coffee

Staff are lovely and welcoming Some of the bestest coffees in York Food is fresh tasty and flavoursome A little place of home cooked delights Great for pasta and pizza too. If you visit York market a place to seek out and enjoy a nice cozy ambience. Look out for deals and specials too.

This is an absolutely brilliant place for brunch. The food is amazingly fresh and presented well with lovely background music. The staff are very polite and helpful, talked with the owner who was very enthusiastic about the food and the cafe, a very friendly gentleman. Fully recommend this place. You should definitely try.

I went to this fabulous cafe near Shambles a few days ago. What an absolute gem of a place to find! I had halloumi and pesto sandwich, and considering the taste and service, I would come back for more!

Lovely little cafe serving good halal food.

Amazing coffee, scones and brownies! Visited here with our friends and the coffee was fantastic and the scones were warm and full of flavour. The brownies were absolutely incredible. We will be back, thank you!

Absolutely fantastic service, a special mention to the two young waiters who served us they were so lovely, polite and helpful x Food was lovely and a great price for a good spot in the shambles Highly recommended

Nice cafe on the edge of the Shambles Market. Only had a drink so can't comment on the food, but it looked nice - standard fayre of lasagne, fish fingers and chips.

Absolutely gorgeous food, and such lovely service from Masum. Thankyou.

in expensive for York with quick service and some very good food (especially the fries) means this is one of the better Cafe/restaurants in York for those on a budget. also the location is really nice just excellent for grabbing a bite while shopping

Everything is sooooooo good! From pizza to pasta, to salad and many more! We kept saying that foods are delicious while we're chewing them! Staffs are also nice and friendly! 😂 💯💯

Good place for breakfast/brunch! I got the spicy hash that came with an english muffin, eggs, and hollandaise sauce. It was delicious!

We had a great breakfast on Sunday 18th August, served to us by Lilly, who was jolly and friendly, describing things to us we weren't sure about and making good recommendations. We had eggs royale and Shambles Scrambles, with a smoothie and a lassie. A great start to the day!

Stopped for a quick bite. Had cheesy garlic bread and coffee. Lovely fresh and hot

Great food , great price , great staff!

In the middle of York's old town, nice operators, nice shop and very tasty vegan breakfast!

The food is full of flavor and spices

We had a lovely brunch meal here! Great food (really recommend the Bombay style if you would like a spiced brunch dish!!), great portions and prices and location. They also do iced coffees if you request it - support this business if you're looking for a spot near the Shambles 🩷

Great food. I had the English Brekkie and my wife had the Shambles Vegan. Both fantastic, full of flavour. Fully recommend

A gem of a cafe to escape York's often busy streets. We were wandering the streets of York around lunchtime and passed many busy restaurants and cafes that seemed busy and unappealing. Shambles Korner stuck out immediately as a quaint and quiet cafe just off the market square. The cafe is quite small, with six or seven two person tables inside and a further three or four tables outside. This was perfect, however, as it gave a lovely quiet and relaxed experience inside. This was guaranteed with the calming music inside and the delightfully gentle manner of the waiter that served us. The contrast with the busy streets outside was perfect. We had a light lunch, with one person having a chicken burger and chips and the other a grilled halloumi and pesto sandwich with chips. The meals arrived quickly, fifteen minutes or so, and were delicious. The chips were cooked well, but were a bit crisp. This seemed likely due to the choice of potato variety rather than the quality of the coking. This is a very minor criticism, however, as the overall meal was very flavoursome and attractive. The latte I ordered was also one of the best I've had in my life. Perfectly smooth and not too bitter. I would come back to Shambles Korner just for the coffee, and will happily return for another meal on my next visit to York.

2 great lads, great atmosphere. Great food Not expensive

Staff were really friendly and the food was great.

Excellent, friendly and polite service.

Visited this morning the breakfast burger was amazing, staff very friendly,

Good breakfast/brunch egg dishes, interesting pizzas, toasted haloumi pesto sandwich was amazing. Great coffees. Very reasonably priced.

Great cafe. Service was excellent. Friendly and welcoming. Really good coffee. Highly recommend. Glad we happened to find it.

a halal brunch place, what a gem of a find staff were so lovely, food was delicious, freshly prepared, decent portion sizes.. would definitely recommend.

lovely little café! delicious fresh food, friendly staff, fair prices. the icing on the cake is that it’s halal ❤️ thank you for providing a cosy space that accommodates people with different dietary requirements. highlight of my weekend ☺️

What an amazing find. Excellent and friendly service. Happy to adjust dish to suit dietary requirements. Delicious and really well cooked food. Would very much recommend.

I wish I had checked scores on the doors first. Looked good from the outside. Bad smell of sewage. Not a good experience, feel quite ill.

Brioche buns with breakfast filling are a revelation 💯

Visited this amazing little Cafe today. A good range of food served from breakfast, brunch, pizzas, pasta and desserts, brilliant service and very kind staff. We had the halloumi asparagus and chicken asparagus pizza; which was delicious. Thank you, we will be back again 😊

A great place.Best staff.food is way over my expectation.Its a cozy place.Best halal place in york got coffee and browniethey were good. pineapple juice was refreshing.You must come!

Perfect spot for brunch, Delicious and 100% Halal Brunch at Shambles Koner; enjoyed a delightful brunch that included chicken asparagus pizza , halloumi asparagus and Nutella special sundae. The restaurant has a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. It's a great spot for meal with friends or family.The food was absolutely delicious. The chicken was tender and flavourful, the asparagus was cooked to perfection, and the pizza was mouth-wateringly good. I was particularly impressed by the fact that all the dishes were 100% halal, which is important for me and adds to the appeal of this restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great halal dining option. And the service was on point. Would definitely come back.

4 of us were about to go in for lunch and saw the “Halal meat” sign - barbaric!!

Warm and friendly welcome, clean and pleasant environment, the food was beyond expectations, if I visit York in the future this cafe will be a must visit!

Had a wonderful lunch.Pleasant helpful staff who made our day in York memorable Thank you

Called in for breakfast on Saturday. Best breakfast I've had in a long time, well presented and good service. 👍

100% brilliant. Fab food, outstanding service.

We went to this restaurant couple of times on our visit. The place is quite small, however, on every occasion there was only one person serving. The Bombay style and the chicken burger that I tried was just ok. Nothing to rave about. No highchair available!

Fantsatic full english breakfast that set us up nicely for a day out in York. Huge plateful of tasty food - sausages, bacon, 2 eggs, beens, tomato and sour dough bread. Even had salad on the plate which whilst strange is non offensive. Table next to us had salmon eggs benedict, and wow, it looked and smelled amazing too. Breakfast for 2 including tea and orange juice was £30 - great value for what we had, especially in comparison to the Shambles market stalls selling a pasty for £6 and a cup of tea for £5. Lovely owner, and excellent service. Would absolutely go back again.

Very friendly staff and good food.

Very nice cafe in great location. Food was tasty and well presented. The cafe wasn’t busy during the week.

Had a wonderful time here with my bff, we don’t often find cafes that serve halal food and also have such a wide variety on the menu. The staff was super nice too, really helped when we had questions about the food and everything.

The food was to die for and it was so comforting and aesthetic to dine and drink from classy plates and presentation in a small, quaint cafe near the market. Me and my family ordered bruscettas, Calamari and a few other side dishes as a sort of tapas and it didn't disappoint. The Staff were so welcoming to us and our dog I would wholeheartedly recommend it!

The food I had was amazing and the child friendliness was on top too and everyone was so nice. Shambles korner is a nice place to hangout and it’s a nice quiet place to do things!

Loved it, everything I ordered came delicious and pretty and recommended coming here! ☺️🙌🏼

I had the strawberry cheesecake and the Affogato here. The food and the presentation were really nice. The portion of the cheesecake was generous and the strawberries were fresh. I ordered the freshly made bread for my baby and he enjoyed it. The staff are really nice and the food is reasonably priced. Totally recommend

Really really nice place, good atmosphere, service and food!

Wonderful Service, BEST brunch ever. 100 percent halal, not many places like this around York however we were welcomed with wonderful smiles and staff who were very accommodating. Left feeling very full, and delighted in the wonderful brunch we have had. Friends commented ‘I have never been so impressed with a brunch place in York’ Will defo be back! We all got the English Brekki !

First time visiting shambles korner really nice banofee waffle.

First time I’ve been to Henshelwoods in 5 months. I used to pay £4/4.5 per sandwich. I however went in yesterday and the same sandwich I used to get was £7.50. I don’t normally review places but o was very disappointed in the price for a sandwich

Delightful single origin espresso from Peru! Cute shop with what looks to be quality goods. I could definitely see myself coming back to pick up gifts.

Got charged £4 for a salad and hummus sandwich which was the only vegan filling available. The woman serving had just prepared a beef sandwich and didn't bother to change her gloves despite me asking for vegan options.... Very disappointed, won't be returning.

To begin it is worth noting that this deli is open, maybe the Tripadvisor account needs to be updated? Great selection of stock, really varied. Got a lovely chorizo and Manchego sandwich today for the train, well worth a visit!

I went in to try and buy a jar of onion marmalade. They had no jars, but kindly gave me a small pot from the jar in their fridge which they use in sandwiches. Great service. I'll be back soon to actually buy something .

Best Deli in York. Great selection of amazing food and friendly staff. Their Christmas hampers are also a must.

Okay selection. Not as astounding as I had been led to believe. Charcuterie selection is limited and really expensive for what it is.£8 for 100grams of poncy salami, come on. I suppose you are a York + next to the shambles premium. All in all I was really looking forward to this but was left a bit disappointed. C - could do much better

We bought some sandwiches from a very tempting and tasty list . We’ll definitely have to go back so we can work our way through the options. York has so many beautiful looking food choices, have to say this tasted one of the best. Yum 😋

Great location in The Shambles. Really interesting sandwich options (Meat or Cheese). Difficult to choose, so will definitely be back again.

We had a picnic for six (including one gluten free) for a boat trip. The food was amazing and beautifully packed up with everything we needed. The gluten free member of our party has never been so well catered for. I cannot fault the food or the service and communications were excellent. I will be back to explore the Delicatessen when I’m next in York.

Lunchtime. We took take away sandwich’s prior to our trip further north. Loads of choice, lots of fresh meats and cheese plus a attentive staff who made you feel special. We really liked the shop and enjoyed all on offer. Really hope this place does well and they really care.

Great sandwiches, good prices, good attitude. Was nice to see good COVID practices (masks, patron limit). Will be back if we visit York again.

Great quality and beautiful food. Totally recommend.

I absolutely adore this place. Everything is fantastic.

Such a fabulous unique little find that I can't wait to return, delicious food, fantastic value and very personable, friendly staff. The choice of homemade salads and really unusual concoctions, chutneys, cheese's. I had the homemade pate with salad and grainary bread and sat outside. The best pate I have ever had and they bill £3.50!!! Such great value and this is the shambles York. Many of my friends are vegan and there is a great choice. My visit here has definitely brightened my day.

Wonderful delicatessen and sandwich shop. The scotch eggs are awesome and the selection extensive. This is a little gem in the heart of York, seating outside for produce purchased from the shop. This establishment offers variety with great value for money.

As a surprise for my birthday, my family arranged a buffet for our Tea Time meal. We have been coming to this Deli for years and it has never disappointed. I don't think there is enough words to describe how amazing it was. The food was fresh and absolutely divine, the choices of meat and cheeses were fantastic and we pretty much sat there and filled our faces until we couldn't fit anything else in. The Chicken Liver Pate is are go too, and have never (and I mean never ever) found a pate as good as this one. Now working in the centre it is definitely my favourite place for lunch. Cant wait till we have an excuse to order again. Thanks so much :-)

Do great salad boxes. Delicious selection from meats to vegan. The scotch eggs are brilliant and the crab pate too. Great value. Will use your tubs so good for being green. Supports local produce.

I go here all the time. Excellent sandwiches, reasonable prices and lovely staff. Highly recommend

I was prescented with a Henshelwoods Hamper by my Son and Family for my 70th Birthday on Christmas Eve - Wow everything in the hamper is amazing especially the Venison Pate with cranberries and Armagnac - jar now empty!

Great choice of filling and a choice of bread I would recommend this place to everyone it's easy to walk past it's on Newgate north of the shambles service here is always friendly

I can’t rave about this place enough. This picture is a picnic for 3 (we actually ordered 3 different menus, which they were totally fine with). It had enough food in it for dinner and tea for the 3 of us, for £40 we thought this was great value for money. We’ve ordered a picnic for 2 previously and that also could have fed a family! The bread rolls are incredible- as big as your face, and you can tell all the food is homemade and extremely good quality. It is such a friendly shop, they are always happy and polite. Even the bad weather couldn’t stop us enjoying this fabulous picnic. Thank you very much. (Couldn’t fit the crisps and cakes in this picture!)

Fed up with plastic, cold sandwiches then go to Henshelwoods, Large selection with different breads all made up in front of you. I regularly have the lentil pate with all the salads and a fantastic balsamic beetroot addition. All for £2.90. They have fantastic salads to take out and they are really cheap. PS The cheese selection is to die for.

Absolutely disgusted to find a gift brought back for me by my husband , a pack of Bath Oliver's have a sell by of 12th October 19. Satisfied now the matter was rectified

Delicious cake and decent coffee.

Just had a fantastic vegan sandwich and the staff were very friendly. If you're looking for something quick, healthy and affordable this is the place!

Immense selection of cheeses. Friendly helpful service.

Love the variety and quality. Slightly more expensive at times but well worth it!

Always enjoyable. Huge selection.

I wanted to try more Yorkshire cheeses, and I was thrilled to find this well-stocked deli at the Shambles marketplace. They were popular for lunch sandwiches, too. I ordered a Wensleydale with walnut chutney, and chose a granary bread roll. This sandwich was huge and everything was fresh! I also bought two small wedges from their great cheese selection: Richard III and Cornish Yarg. Everything was delicious
