Kiosk in York

Un café que se pierde fácilmente en una calle bastante transitada y turística, pero que vale la pena tomarse el tiempo para encontrar. El espresso está claramente bien marcado y luego se hizo un capuchino de avena con una precisión admirable, tanto con buen aspecto como a la temperatura de servicio correcta. Al ser libre de gluten (y a base de polenta, supongo) el pastel de limón tenía todo el derecho a estar seco, poco atractivo y desmenuzable. No lo era. Era espléndido y divino. Un plato principal de calabacín, col rizada y mascarpone en pan crujiente fresco era tan sabroso. Claramente ingredientes de calidad están en exhibición aquí. Esta es la cultura café hecha bien 👌🏻.

Apareció para una larga comida negra - poco espacio fresco, con un pequeño menú que iba desde tostadas de queso kimchi hasta un curry tailandés massaman. Acabo de tomar el café - me gustó, aunque no es mi favorito en la ciudad.

The best lunch we’ve ever had in York with great service. Mince pies were excellent too. It’s going to be our go to cafe now. It’s not pretentious and is very relaxed.

Fantastic coffee! The cakes were delicious too.. Would definitely recommend for a quick stop if you are visiting York!

This cafe was a fantastic discovery en route a concert at the Early Music Centre. There was a huge queue outside Betty's so we decided to have lunch in a quieter part of York. Fossgate is still within the boundaries of the old city and so we discovered the Kiosk Cafe. It is tiny, with one normal size table for 4, and otherwise small tables and stools, probably very cosy with 10-12 customers. Anyway, it was fairly empty and we had such a lovely warm welcome from the staff there. The choices of Artichoke Soup and the most enormous bacon sandwich were absolutely delicious, not to mention the coffee. There was a fabulous selection of cakes had we had more time to linger. There was some interesting pottery by a local artist, and we returned later in the day to purchase some coffee mugs and Darkwoods coffee beans. Great warmth and ambience, really contributed to a fabulous day out in York

We travel to York regularly and have probably tried most of the coffee shops in town but this one is simply outstanding, the coffee is one of the nicest anywhere and its now our go to coffee shop. The food is a bonus and is fresh, delicious and presented well. Great place, great staff and a great atmosphere.

Have been excited to try this little coffee shop but was disappointed. Oat milk latte tasted weird and went in the bin after a few sips. Very small for the price as well. Much better options down fossgate.

I have a shop on Colliergate and sometimes have to call ahead and run down to collect food and clearly since I need to get back to the shop I need to time it right. I've never been let down. My last order was a bacon sandwich which was perfectly cooked and served on lightly toasted sourdough. Probably the best bacon butty I have every had and the price is more reasonable than many York eateries.

We just wanted a quick breakfast as we had a full day planned so this place was probably the wrong choice. I had the tofu scramble sandwich which was also the wrong choice. It did taste amazing and it had obviously been cooked from fresh which was great, but most of it ended up on the table or on my lap. The ciabatta was that hard that when you took a bite the fillings would fall out the sides; which would be okay if I had a plate, but it was served in a box. I must say that the oat latte was one of the best I’ve ever had. I would have given 4 stars if we didn’t have to wait 30 minutes for the sandwiches.

Great little coffee shop. Some delicious pastries on offer but it’s all about the coffee, obviously they do tea too.

Just outstanding coffee and sexy staff - cakes are good, food is superb, great banter and no bs. Best place in York.

enjoyed coming to kiosk when there used to be seating and quiet atmosphere. now can only go in just for takeouts and they now sell fruit and veg. hard to understand what your business is

Great coffee... scrumptious, quality, homemade croissant... friendly and welcoming staff. A great place to enjoy the soft morning sun with a treat to start your day!

I asked for two regular sized skinny latte's and they used semi skimmed milk not skimmed milk. We also shared a Banana Bread, all was nice but cost £11.60 which I thought was very expensive.

Popped in this morning before work and had a latte and bacon sandwich. The sandwich was gorgeous and was served in a really nice focaccia bread. The lads who were working were really friendly as well, made a good start to the day!

We found this cosy place by chance and we had a fab coffee. The owner was very friendly and everything was well presented and good. The coffee was excellent. The atmosphere, the music and the ambience are typical and unique. Highly recommended!

If you’re charging £7 for a bacon sarnie, it had better be damn nice. It was damn nice. The relish a tasty touch on top of plentiful tasty rashers done to order and delicious home made bread. Could maybe still bring the price down a tad so as not to scare the passer by but I’m sure they’ve weighed all this up. The coffee was tash and the service likewise, enjoy!

Tropecé con este lugar por primera vez. . debe haber pasado muchas veces antes, no puedo creer que nunca lo hayamos probado. .Extravagante, pequeño lugar fresco. . . Gran arte y música. . incluso mejor café y comida. Teníamos el tocino y bocadillos de salsa ahumada. . . realmente sabroso. . Bien presentado, delicioso.Volveremos.

Tropecé con esta cafetería cuando salía de compras, con ganas de alejarse del ajetreo y el bullicio del centro de la ciudad. Decoración muy pequeña pero acogedora, limpia y única. El café era delicioso con una gran variedad de leches a base de plantas que lo diferencian de las muchas otras cafeterías en fossgate. Solo deseamos que tuvieran una opción "grande" ya que nuestros cafés eran muy pequeños, ¡así que los terminamos muy rápido!

Tuvimos un almuerzo rápido aquí: dos hongos en pan tostado y un shakshuka. Todo estaba delicioso y muy bien presentado. No tenía ningún café, así que no puedo comentar sobre la calidad de su café expreso, pero estaría encantado de volver en otro momento y probar uno con un pastel.

It was ok. The coffee just wasn't what other reviews had prepped me to think. I like a strong black. But also flavour. It's alright and I would recommend it to others. I enjoyed the environment and you can see they work hard to create an enjoyable place sit.

You can't find easily good espresso in UK but this place has the best espresso I have tried the last 3 years in York. Turmeric latte is also so delicious! It's a wonderful little spot with great atmosphere!p.s. guys stop wearing hood during summer! You have style when you look confortable in your clothes! :P

First of all I have to congratulate the cafe for its coffee. They know and serve a long black. They also have an Americano for those that (for some reason) like the coffee in before the hot water. Simple but tasty menu. Friendly cafe.

Entré para ver a Russ, el propietario y el cocinero, a quien conozco. Iba a decir hola, pero otro amigo estaba allí, así que nos sentamos. Pedí un té de limón y jengibre, fue increíble. Vino en una olla, limón real, jengibre real, muy bien hecho. Mucho sabor. También me dieron miel.La música en Kiosk siempre es muy buena.Entonces, conozco a Russ, pero eso es parte del punto: la comida y la bebida aquí siempre son buenas (no es rápido para llegar, pero está bien), y siempre me encuentro con gente muy interesante y agradable. El amigo con el que me senté tenía otro amigo allí, dijeron que este lugar "es como una aplicación de citas para amigos". Es verdad. De alguna manera (la comida, la bebida, la comodidad, el cuidado de Russ por todos nosotros), Kiosk es un centro para la gente de York. ¡Visitar!

Best Brunch in York by far. Great atmosphere & delicious food. And the owner and chef singing away in the kitchen :)

This is my go-to place for coffee when I'm in town. To be honest I've never had anything else there, even though there are some scrummy looking breakfasts coming out of the kitchen. Fossgate is teeming with fashionable coffee houses at the moment, and Kiosk is anything but fashionable; anti-fashionable would be closer to the mark. But it is cool nevertheless, serving up it's wares on or in hand-made ceramics and seating customers on furniture that is reminiscent of my old man's allotment shed.I return time after time because the guy who runs the place takes his time and he'll give you a smile if you deserve it or not, and, ultimately, he makes the best coffee in York; no question, you won't find better.

Had breakfast with my daughter. She had yoghurt with compote and granola plus a coffee, I had the shakshuka plus a tea. It was probably the best breakfast that we have paid money for. Will definitely be back.

Coffee and cake excellent, but the place could do with a good clean. It looks a bit tired and grubby.

This tiny venue is a classic example of how independent cafe's are needed, and I am so glad they are here in York.

My brother and I are regulars here before going into university, it’s a wonderful little spot serving a large variety of filter coffee and espresso options and a great selection of food (I would personally recommend the bacon sandwich with tomato relish). Cosy atmosphere, would highly recommend!

Stumbled across this rather quirky cafe while hunting out an independent place to rest shopping legs.

Called in to use the Wi-fi to do a bit of life admin while I was out in town. The amazing flat white keeps me coming back here over other places, beans weighed out in front of you and freshly ground. Never eaten here but the smells coming from the kitchen are amazing. The people I see in here all seem very chill artistic types and the aesthetic is unassuming and simple but extremely cosy. Would definitely recommend - spend as little or as long as you like here.

Very friendly service and fabulous coffee. We had eggs with parmesan on sour dough - really scummy - will certainly go back for more Recommend 100% - you'll not be disappointed

Really friendly place that offers great coffee and food. Bacon sandwich with relish is especially good.

Despite a list of opening hours in the window stating an opening time of 9am, this simply doesn't happen, at least not on my several attempts to get a breakfast here. It's not good enough to offer a service and then not supply that service.

Just had the best flat white I’ve ever tasted, made with Maude coffee beans. Had a Sicilian bread and roasted red pepper soup which was so good I can still taste it.

Some coffee shops serve good coffee. Some are in good locations. Others serve you with military precision and can leave you feeling a little like a part of their revenue stream. In a town like York, which is inundated with good coffee shops Kiosk stands out for uniqueness of character, excellence in coffee and food that pushes its boundary from ‘coffee shop’ into Bistro territory.

Popped in on recommendation and was delighted. I love good coffee and really enjoyed this served in a tactile pottery mug.

If you are a coffee snob, like me, you will have to visit Kiosk (check opening times).

One of the independent gems in York ✨ Modest pricing, Incredible food + service. Beautiful aesthetic. Its a must visit!

This is a delightful find. Small and friendly. I had delicious eggs with thyme oil and there were other very tempting things on the menu - I was spoilt for choice. As we were paying I could see into the kitchen the chef putting together a fab looking bacon sandwich - I wanted to steal it! I also saw some great looking black pudding dish going out - wanted that too. And I enjoyed a beautifully prepared capuccino! This is a gem of a place and I will be back!

Fantastic bacon sandwich with tomato relish at this friendly cafe. It's well worth a visit. Teas and coffees are very good. Interesting menu.

Small coffee shop with food - had amazing Kiosk fry up - best fried breakfast ever!! Rest of family had nicoise stew with vegan aioli was also amazing. Fantastic Haxby sourdough bread as well - and best tasting coffee

We went here for breakfast yesterday, delightful couple who run it, excellent food, great service, very reasonable prices, above all, a really good atmosphere, it seemed liked the owner knew everyone that came in. At the other end of the day we revisited en route back to our hotel based on the excellent experience we had benefitted from earlier.

A group of 6 of us lingered over a tasty brunch. The bacon sandwich with tomato relish in sourdough bread was the best I've ever had! It's a small friendly cafe, ideal for a coffee or a light bite.

I've just had an amazing bacon sandwich from Kiosk. Great fresh food with high quality ingredients. They really know their coffee too!

Visited with a friend after hearing good things and this place did not disappoint! I ordered the butternut squash lentil risotto and it was the perfect kind of warm, wholesome comfort food you need in winter months without being stodgy or unhealthy! The prices were great and they're flexible- my friend asked to combine two different dishes and this was cheerfully accommodated at a very reasonable price. My only regret is neither of us had cash to leave as a tip- so, sorry! :( The service was lovely!

This is a small family owned and run cafe. They serve really good properly prepared coffee. There is not a huge menu, but the dishes are carefully planned, with locally sourced ingredients, prepared to order and are delicious. They also sell a range of artisan pottery, so you can browse for Christmas presents while you enjoy the food.

I love Kiosk. Amongst the best coffee in York, lovingly prepared and a fantastic breakfast and lunch menu. This tiny cafe kitchen puts out some of the finest food you could ask for, seasonal, creative and always utterly delicious. If you go alone be prepared to share a table and make a new friend.

What a great little find!! They make brilliant single origin coffee and sell delicious locally made cakes and hand made food to order. Very friendly staff, It's not just a cafe it's more ... Highly recommend paying them a visit

Loved my lunch at Kiosk. Very friendly staff. Great coffee and food. Superb long black, plus V60 and pour over. Local bread which was great. Also a lovely selection of ceramics to purchase.

What a find! Lovely friendly staff, super tea, amazing pottery and art and the tastiest leek fritters I have ever had.

I absolutely love this place. Great coffee , food and lovely welcoming staff. I have a oat milk flat white and porridge or Parmesan eggs. All the food is yummy!

The place is so small you might walk past it. Three tables and two extra chairs for those not eating. We had breakfast on a Sunday morning. The porridge with oatmilk, seeds and fresh raspberry compote was exquisite. So was the cappuccino with freshly ground coffee beans. Every cup, plate and saucer is different. Made by a ceramic artist. Pieces on sale. The sourdough bread with butter and honey was equally special. Strongly recommended. Oh, yes, and the service was just as excellent as the food! Go try for yourself!

100% without a doubt the best flat white York has to offer, lovely small space and wonderful friendly staff! I will be back!

I've popped in for breakfast a few times since Kiosk opened earlier this year. Always good. The ingredients are chosen with great care - the eggs, the salami, the cheese, the bread, and yes even the butter. The list goes on. This morning's breakfast arrived with their homemade tomato relish. This place has style. It's warm and friendly. And the coffee is quite superb - with a choice of espresso or filter.

Called in today for a coffee and cake - and had what is probably the best of both in York. Choices of bean, perfectly flavoured, ideal temperature, and served with a glass of water. Oh, I've longed for coffee shops in the UK to catch up with the continental tradition of doing this, and at last I've found my ideal! Russell, whose business this is, has a passion for real food, natural ingredients, and taste taste taste! I wish you every success. I will be back!

Best coffee in York, hands down. Food is always amazing. Always have vegan options and food is high quality. Menu changes every few weeks and daily specials are creative, seasonally inspired, works of art.

Popped in having passed by on a couple of occasions. It's a petite coffee shop that's has lots of character. The cup that the coffee came in was amazing, every detail is thought of, the glasses, tables, coasters.

Genuinely happy and passionate people, as soon as I entered the man immediately took my order. The atmosphere was great and the food was some of the best I've found in York so far. A coffee shop that excels all expectations regarding decoration, staff, food and coffee. The menu offered a range of options I have not come across before and I find it intriguing as to how well they have done with such a small space. 5* to the kiosk and I will be returning!!

This little shop has a beautiful style and relaxed feel. The food was amazing from such a tiny space! Great choice of both food and drinks and so reasonably priced!

It's a tiny place but the team of 3 do an excellent job in making coffee, tea and supplying yummy food. Well worth a visit if you're on Fossgate. Prices are decent, £2.50 for a flat white. It's worth popping in to look at the pottery and art.

Cibo molto buono e il personale è molto disponibile. Ci tornerò sicuramente per provare nuovi piatti. Lo consiglio vivamente

Popped in for breakfast on a lazy sunday, really lovely food, we went for the breakfast platter and it was absolutely delicious, great selection of tea and coffee and relaxed atmosphere. Will be back!

Found the Kiosk by chance, loved the vibe so much we had to revisit again for breakfast the next day. Honestly the best coffee from a bunch of guys who have a passion for their work. Really made our visit to York special by starting the day in an environment so comfy and bliss that the time just flew by. All the best guys.

Superb coffee served in contemporary pottery cups.

Really relaxed place serving fantastic coffee and delicious food! The menu changes a lot, the chef clearly is talented! Rebecca and Russ has got this place right!

Forget about Bettys or the many coffee shops in York, Kiosk is by far the best place to get coffee and cake. This little hidden gem in Fossgate serving high quality coffee and food reminds me of the coolest artsy coffee shops in New York. You can see the attention to detail in every single aspect of Kiosk, from the minimalist and classy decor with beautiful pottery, to the quirky and amazingly crafted cakes and pastries (miso cookies, green tea cake, yum...). The food menu is also great, using local and high quality produce (ox cheek, black pudding, pickled carrot!). It seems that there is an underlying philosophy and artistic sensibility to Kiosk that elevates this coffee shop to an aesthetic experience. This is why I keep going back. They even play great background music!

Perhaps the best flat white coffee outside of Australasia. Nice, friendly staff, too. Fun quirky (but small) space.

Lovely coffee, lovely cups, lovely staff, lovely music, lovely treats. Very friendly and laid-back atmosphere.

Found this lovely place on Fossgate whilst walking by, instead of being a stranded coffee shop this has something special and unique to it. The option to choose what type of coffee i wanted is something i love about this place, some may find it a bit cosy but for me it is one of the characteristics i love. With the option of food that caters for veggies & vegans as well as the rest of us. If you get a chance i would 100% recommend it!

Cool, quirky, fun, brilliant. Really nice little cafe. Good food and coffee. Friendly staff and some nice art for sale.

Three people doing exactly what they love and it comes through with the quality of everything they produce! This place is a must visit for coffee, food and art. The very best of luck to these guys! If they don't succeed, I'll eat my own boot! X

Just WOW. Beautiful combinations of flavours in perfectly formed food offerings, I had the free range eggs & local salami with fennel seeds and some other amazing bits. Wonderful artisan coffee served in perfect pottery bowls and cups in a lovely, inspiring, natural environment. Like being in a glorious forest glade in the middle of a bustling city! Cant rave about Kiosk enough - well done and thank you for providing us with something special and unique.

I love this place. It feels great and is perfect for its place tucked away in Fossgate. Noticeably different in almost every way to the relentless army of coffee places in York. The coffee is awesome. The food is wonderful and always pleasantly surprising. The artwork, ceramics and textiles that decorate the place are inspiring and add a different feel. The whole place feels like it is cultured and dreamed by artists but there is nothing at all highbrow about it. I love dropping by on my own to do some work in a creative environment and I also I love taking my wife and the girls here for the wonderful hot chocolate and cakes. If you want to go somewhere and leave feeling lifted, go here.

Popped in to Kiosk for a takeaway oat milk flat white and was quite literally delighted. The coffee was the best I have had in York and oat milk as a dairy alternative was a revelation. Really like the fact that the decor is all the work of local British artists (the owner was kind enough to talk me through each artist's offering.) I look forward to returning and wish the team at Kiosk every success in this flipping great endeavour!

Expertly made, locally roasted, fresh, delicious coffee in beautiful pottery; alluring décor; interesting, tasty menu that regularly changes. As well as a café, Kiosk sells the products of local artists, like the beautiful pottery you'll be drinking and eating from. Ran by a lovely local family who clearly care deeply about quality, creativity, and a personal touch. Definitely check out this refreshing addition to York.

Great coffee and excellent food, all served by 3 lovely people who take care in what they're doing. I'd recommend this place to anyone wanting to try something a bit different.

the best coffee on Fossgate, with the least pretentiousness. a warm welcome, fantastic decor, and music that was at the perfect level of upbeatness. it's probably worth going just for the pottery cups.

Fossgate is going places. Kiosk is new has raised the bar again! These guys know what they're doing. They cut their teeth at nearby high-end establishments and come together to create something really special. Real care has gone into this tiny place. The best coffee on the street (and that's really saying something!) amazing imaginative breakfasts, probably one of the best I've every had. Looking forward to lunch next and then seeing where this goes!

York has been crying out for such a place. So much care is taken in sourcing and preparing a simple - but well thought out - menu. The ox cheek toastie was incredible. Beautifully fitted out with a handful of seats. Expect to share your table.
