Merchants Coffee House in York - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely coffee, pleasantly surprised

Attended the charity Beer festival today. Had a great afternoon, well organised and a lovely atmosphere. But I think you are under selling your self's £4 is to cheep. That is well worth a tenner of anyone's money. Ps loved the entertainment.... Attended for the second time and again a wonderful time. The sun was shining and the atmosphere was good, very nice and easy going. The choice of drinks I think was even better than last year. Again we got a free glass and drinks menu so you can easily decide what to try next. And at £7 a more realistic price for a lovely afternoon. Very well done to all involved

A really pleasant stop for coffee and lunch. My cheese and chutney sandwich was excellent, as was my wife's cheese scone. I would definitely recommend.

Great little café. Better than Betty’s? Only one way to find out!

Had a nice coffee here after looking around the gardens and house.

Love a Great coffee shop! This is one that has everything.great bakes and great coffee and also central location

Excellent place for a break & a coffee

A gem 💎 of a café. Very friendly and helpful staff 💞 A lovely place to relax ☺️ with both inside or outside in the lovely garden.

Delicious quiche and salad for brunch served with a cappuccino in the beautiful garden. A definite must do if you are in the York area:

Enjoyed a lovely Cappuccino there.

My kid is meeting a friend on York. This coffee shop is just opposite Primark and part of an old Merchant's Hall. Plus they know how to make machiato. And decent Bakewell slice. What's not to like?

Entrance wasn't too obvious from Parliament Street, but once inside the atmosphere was friendly. The ticket desk assistant was pleasant and helpful, and there is a choice of audio guides or printed leaflets. There is a mass on historical information set out, and the paper guides are very helpful.

Beautiful coffee and cake, and lovely staff. The coffee house itself is beautiful with tudor style woodwork.

Nice and quite compared to the busyness outside. Got a table. Good coffee and cake.

Best location in York for coffee and cake

Very nice food and a quick service

We were looking for a dog friendly place to have a coffee and decided to give this place a try! We came in and were warmly welcomed by the staff. They made a fuss of our little dog!! It wasn’t that busy and picked a table with space around. The lovely lady gave our dog a water bowl and subsequently another waitress gave her some ham as a treat! She loved the attention! We ordered coffees and a cake and it came very quickly. It’s a really inviting place to come for a rest and refreshment, and we will definitely be back for cream teas as the fruit scones looked delicious!

Absolutely fabulous place to dine. The staff were very attentive, and nothing was too much trouble. There is limited seating during the winter months, but during the warmer weather, it's pleasant to sit in the gardens. The cream tea is very reasonable and about half the price of overpriced Betty's tea room.

الفلات وايت كان لذيذ الكابتشينو طعمه حليب ، كيكة التوفي طعمها بيتي كروكر وكيكة الافوكادو سيئه، ما اكرر الزياره

Fresh tasty food & drinks at a good prices

Great flapjack but awful coffee. Didn't think anyone served coffee like this anymore. Flapjack was probably the best I've ever had. Also wife's lemon drizzle cake was good too.

It was a little busy, but a nice cafe with nice food

Visited today beautiful building and gardens, had two cream teas that were very nice.The staff were absolutely wonderful it was my partners Birthday and they bought over a complimentary slice of delicious carrot cake with a candle in. He was thrilled.Thank you.

Great spot, very friendly Coffee n cake to die for

Excellent service, excellent scones.

Great selection of freshly prepared dishes. Spacious garden with beautiful surroundings of nature.

Nice outside space to relax. the Coffee was decent and the cake pretty good. But lets not talk about the awful scones.

Lovely place! Amazing for a coffee and cake break 😍 the inner garden is really beautiful and quiet

Really nice location, great atmosphere

Pleasant environment in historic grounds. Cafe style menu. Eat in or out. Staff were absolutely wonderful, helpful and friendly.

Great building very peaceful place to sir with a brew

Excellent timbered hall and friendly staff.

Great little cafe serving fab cheese scones (straight out the oven thank you Karen when we were there!! Love it.

A super surprise. Absolutely delicious sandwiches in wonderfully soft bread with a tasty crust, served with a salad garnish and crisps. Definitely worth going to.

Nice, quiet place for a quick stop.

Recently discovered this place and will certainly be back. Great food, fabulous cakes and very tasty coffee. Lovely setting and very pleasant staff.

A lovely place full of history and some good coffee, too.

Wonderful coffee & in a incredible ancient building

Great coffee in amazing surroundings.

Good coffee and cakes. Interesting place, too.

Fantastic little coffee, tea and pastry shop. Great stop the isn't as busy as some of the tourist traps, but is actually at a historic site

Beautiful place, if you like history - very much worth a visit.

Welcoming staff, nice small cafe, in the centre of York. Ideal for taking a break from shopping, or before getting on a bus. Inside the Merchant Adventurers Hall, which is also worth visiting, also the little gift shop.

Very disappointed service very slow and coffee was horrible

My partner and myself went for coffee and home made scone. This was a very pleasant experience and made our day. Both the food and coffee were excellent and I cannot speak highly enough about the staff. Helpful pleasant and very cheerful.

Decided to try the coffee house,York was especially busy. It's a secluded haven below street level and the hussle and hussle. Was politely greeted and table was cleared. Table was cleaned and We were seated. Table service. Ordered a cream tea with Coffee,2 Fetamans pink lemonades. Fast and polite service. Extremely clean and amazing toilets. Came to about £11.50 which is pretty good value in my eyes. Would visit again if the weather's right. Recommended.

Fab location , lovely to sit outside on a nice day. Really interesting inside

Fab place for an amazing coffee and toasted tea cake Enjoy

Small coffee house it is very nice food is amazing as the staff go above and beyond.
