Mollys Tearooms in York

We went to Molly's Tearooms for lunch one Saturday. York was packed and it was a bit hard to find because of all the people milling about, but we were glad we made the effort. We decided on jacket potatoes with creamed mushrooms and the lady apologised and said they only had one potato left, but offered us the mushrooms with toast instead. She said the mushrooms came in a separate dish so the toast wouldn’t get soggy. Our meal arrived very quickly and we shared the toast and potato. The mushrooms were absolutely delicious and plenty of them. Very pleasant staff and a lovely little tearoom. We recommended the place to our next-door neighbours who went two days ago and they also thought it was great. We’ll be back!

Good value for money light bites in the centre of York. The combined sandwich, cake, and drink a favourite for many of our visits. The staff are very polite and attentive.

Fabulous Breakfast This place is a hidden gem away from the hustle and bustle of the street. Friendly service, lovely and clean and delicious food. We’ll be back when we’re back in York.

Went to molly's for afternoon tea for about half one, and my god what a treat.We got a really nice welcome and shown to our table.One of the ladies came out to ask us for any allergies or dislikes in flavours.The staff are really pleasant and nice to talk with, the afternoon tea when it came out was an eye opener.Nicely placed on each tier but my god the cakes are all home made and the slices they are not shy with, which meant we ended up taken them away with us. We are making plans for another visit again already.

Reasonable quality and prices, good efficient service and socially distanced seating. My wife and I called in for lunch and found the place effective and adequate. No WiFi which is disappointing

Came across by chance and enjoyed a pot of tea with huge toasted teacakes with butter and plenty of strawberry jam. It was like stepping back in time to the 1960's, which is a very big bonus in my book.

Really friendly staff We had a vintage afternoon tea £29.95 Omg!! So worth the money Will be back for more

Aparecí aquí después de darse cuenta de que el cercano Teddybear Tearoom estaba cerrado. Consiguieron té y pastel para cada uno. El marido consiguió café y nuez, que no contenía gluten y lo disfrutó mucho. Conseguí Victoria Sandwich, que es mi pastel favorito cuando se hace bien. El sándwich Victoria no me decepcionó y me alegré de mi elección: casera con crema fresca y mermelada.Chica agradable nos sirvió. Precio razonable y parecía tradicional para almuerzos.

Visited here for a cup of coffee and apple pie after a lady on the street invited us in. Very good staff and extremely friendly. Coffee wasn’t the best but the apple pie was very good. Worth a visit.

Stopped by after browsing the antiques and bric a brac on Tuesday. Had bacon sarnie and coffee. The food was old style but Very good as was the service, which was excellent. No eat out to help out but still excellent value.

Lovely tearoom. Very friendly and helpful staff who are coping well with Covid restrictions. Quick service despite it being a busy lunchtime. Lovely food and plenty of choice. Generous portions and all freshly made. Very enjoyable visit 😁

We bought a chocolate fudge cake and a Victoria sponge cake from here, which were hands down the worst cakes me and my partner have ever eaten! The fudge cake had an unusual flavour in the sponge which made it taste like floral perfume. Gross.The Victoria sponge was the worst. We kept the cake in the fridge as it had butter cream in it and chose to eat it the day after we bought it. Well I think it was buttercream as I’m not entirely sure, whatever the filling was, it was off. It smelt like cheesy feet and vomit and tasted just as bad. I’m assuming it was off but due to the disgusting flavour of the Fudge cake it could have been a filling that they tried to pull off which failed miserably. I’m appalled that they sold me and my partner these cakes which one was clearly on the turn. Avoid this place for cakes if you want to keep your tastebuds.

Visted York last weekend (08.08.2020) and happened to come across this lovely little tea room. A lady called Jan greeted us outside who was so polite and friendly. My other half didnt have a face mask so was unsure we could enter as the tea room is upstairs, above an antique shop but she was so helpful and even gave him one to use for our visit. there was three of us visiting, I had a jacket potato with cheese and beans, my other half had a toastie and his mum had a jacket potato with creamy mushrooms, they were to die for! So happy with our experience, the ladies did a fab job

We called into this cafe on a recent visit to York. There were plenty of tables available so 6 of us sat down and ordered food and drinks. After a few minutes I asked where the loo was to be told it wasn’t open yet (due to Covid restrictions presumably). We should have been told this BEFORE we sat down and ordered food and drink. Who wants to find that the cafe they are dining in has no toilet facility? Unimpressed we felt we had no option but to continue with our dining experience. The food we ordered was very good, I had creamy mushrooms on toast, they were the best ever. As good as the food was it was spoilt by the unfriendly waitress and lack of facilities and they weren’t included in the help out to eat out promotion. When I politely suggested when I paid that there should be a sign saying there were no toilet facilities the waitress told me the toilets belonged to the antiques shop and were nothing to do with the cafe. Shame about the attitude and lack of facilities because the food was great.

This was an ideal lunch spot during a busy post-lockdown shopping day. Simple but good sandwiches. Cakes looked very good. Waitress was friendly.

We had coffees and some delicious cakes here. The service was a little bit on the slow side but it was extremely busy and we were told that it would be a little while to wait.

Encontramos este lugar por error y fue genial. La mujer que servía era excelente, pero desafortunadamente no obtuvimos su nombre. Cabello negro y muy burbujeante. Un activo para Molly's. Todos tuvimos uno de los especiales y un desayuno y ninguno de ellos nos decepcionó. La comida era muy fresca y sabrosa. Aunque los salones de té estaban ocupados, el servicio seguía siendo excelente y la señora que servía tuvo tiempo para conversar con todos, ¡algunos de los cuales definitivamente eran clientes habituales! Muy contento de haber encontrado este lugar. ¡Definitivamente vamos a volver!

Full English is the best. Service is really good. Maybe could clean their toilets a bit more however it wasn't bad

We go here every time we visit york but what a change the service was so terrible sat for ages for order to be taken they was busy but people came after us and was serve in the end my husband had to go and ask to be served, when food came order tuna and red onion but raw onion was in instead and the salad could have done with the kiss of life all brown and limp i heard other people complaining about dirty cultery and butter you could,nt spread as it was solid not as good as it used to be we won,t be going back

We always come here for breakfast it's the best you can get.We both had a full english the first morning the next day my other half had a full English I had creamed mushrooms on toast.You get an amazing pot of tea lovely and strong.Staff are really nice,plates are hot as well as the food wonderful.Afterwards we always have a look round the antiques centre underneath.

Llamamos por teléfono para reservar el té de la tarde y dijeron que no había necesidad de reservar. A la llegada no había mesas que dijimos que reservamos movieron un par de mesa de 4 para que pudiéramos sentarnos. El té de la tarde para 2 consistía en 3 jamones, 3 quesos, 3 sándwiches de salmón, un plato pequeño de migas de papas fritas, 2 bollos de fruta 2 esponja Victoria, 1 tarta de chocolate, 1 café y nuez 1 tarta de banofe todos los trozos de tarta, no su té de la tarde delicado. El pastel de chocolate estaba quemado. No volvería caro para lo que tenemos.

After visiting the Minster we were approached by a lady who handed us a flyer for Molly's tea room so we went in via Antiques centre. although busy we were able to find a spare table and sat down to bowls of home made soup and a hot drink . the food was excellent as was the service.

After looking online for a nice afternoon tea in York we found this tearoom. I don’t like going to the big fancy places for afternoon tea as I often find them over priced with tiny portions. The tearoom is above an antique shop you wouldn’t know it was there really. The afternoon tea for 2 was £29.95 and you got a selection of sandwiches (ham, cheese, smoked salmon and cream cheese) with onion chutney and crisps on the side. We both had a latte to drink. 2 large scones with jam and fresh cream and we got 4 slices of cake between us which we chose ourselves. The sandwiches where lovely. The Fruit scones where huge!!! And we actually had more than enough clotted cream to cover them, we always find that you have to scrimp in your cream because there is never enough in most places. After we had finished our sandwiches and scones we couldn’t even manage the cake selection so instead this was wrapped up to take home. The food was lovely and service was excellent. I would definitely encourage people to come here for afternoon tea rather than the more famous tearooms. Proper homemade food and cakes. Delicious!!!

A lovely little tearoom with such a warm welcome. A good Gluten free menu with plenty on offer...they make an excellent Bacon, brie and cranberry sandwich!!

Upstairs, above a shop, and next to an antique shop, this tearoom was disappointing because it had no atmosphere, the furniture and decor was very basic and more importantly, the ordered Lemon Drizzle cake was inedible because it was so dry, that it was left .

Happened upon this gem of a place. Constantly on the look out for good gluten free breakfasts. This was one of the best, fresh produce, plenty of it and gluten free bread and reasonably priced. Very friendly staff too. Highly recommend

Tucked away on the 1st floor this is easy to miss but there is friendly service, good tea and a fine range of cakes, many of them gluten free

we as a group went in, we all chose different things, i chose the leek and potato soup that was served with generous bread slices, This soup is well requesting. you will not be let down in any way.if this soup was sold in our U.S.A or Canadian Stores our group would buty every tin that we could find. I was lucky i had a bowl, My group of team mates wished now they had requested the same but Hey they were not let down with the food they had served. very nice staff. prices that anyone could afford a treat. Ma.am. sir., The staff we salute you and Thank you for a lovely time in your tearoom from the TORNDENIM GROUP

We have been coming to Mollys Tearooms for the last 10 years & I don’t know if they have changed hands but certainly wasn’t the same place we have always visited. We were greeted with a hi sit where you want. The table we chose had not been cleaned & looking around the floor under the tables were not clean. Our drinks came out promptly although one went back as it was the totally wrong drink. The food took a long time to arrive & looking into the kitchen the lady who was cooking had long hair in a pony tail which was not covered up & seemed quite unhygienic. By the time the food cane we had not much of the drinks left so would have been nice to have been refilled. We were never asked during eating if everything was ok. York has such a huge variety of eateries & I am sad to say after 10 years it was not the same place.

Welcoming staff and a good choice of food and cakes. We choose it for the range of gluten free cakes for which there were 3 options. The gluten free apple and ginger cake my partner had was apparently delicious. I had the Jaffa cake cake which was very nice and moist.

Entering through the tardis like antique shop (which is well worth investigating as well) you get a pleasant cafe style tea room, not old and quaint but modern. The girl running front of house was lovely and friendly but seemed to need more help, as commented on previous reviews. Food was well portioned but lacked little flair or presentation of some tea rooms we have visited. All in all a nice place to escape Yorks hustle bustle and drunks ! and get decent portions at good prices.

We were stopped in the street by a lady with a ten per cent voucher advertising the tearoom which were glad of because the tearoom is situated upstairs above the antiques shop and wouldn't have been aware of it's location if she hadn't showed us ! We chose home made soup and coffees. The soup was delicious and it came with plenty of bread.

The food is good, fresh and great value, £26 for drinks, sandwiches and cake for 3 people.

we always come to mollies for breakfast when we are in York a good solid full English with fresh toasted bread and real butter and a pot of tea. Unfortunately we came back on Sunday and the breakfast had been reheated and was cold I would have sent it back but we were going home but when I went to pay and they asked if everything was OK I said no but they without hesitation gave us our money back but as it was a long journey I would rather have had the breakfast but we will come back as the breakfast is usually faultless so I can't understand what happened

Friendly and helpful me and Mr S received a warm welcome. The bacon sandwich and sausage sandwich were very tasty and freshly made. Recommended by us both.

Molly's is an excellent tearoom/ cafe, above a antique shop in Stonegate, York, UK. This is a little gem. An independant business, all food homemade, great breakfasts etc, cakes to die for, great service. I always visit Molly's when visiting York.

We have been here before and loved it, our last visit was disappointing to say the least,

we called in just by chance, food is brilliant, service is fantastic, staff are very polite, would recommmend to anyone going to york

Popped in here today wanted a snack before going home.

Upstairs within antiques emporium, went in to met by lovely staff and chose the most delicious toffee cheesecake. Light creamy filling on a base on ginger biscuit with a light caramel covering and then topped with pieces of fudge. Yum. The Cheesecake Officiano.

Tucked away within an antiques shop which covered about three floors Mollys is a lovely little find. It is not easy to locate at first glance and was pointed out to us by a happy young man giving out leaflets who was doing an excellent job. It's a shame that there isn't something more obvious to point you to it. They look as though they have regulars though so word of mouth in this case will hopefully help their customer base. Staff were very pleasant and the allotted space was clean and tidy.

We were stopped in the street and asked to go in so we thought we would give it a try. The woman who served us was polite and friendly but didn't look very happy in her job, just may have been an off day. We wished we had chosen to eat there at lunchtime as the food was home made and looked delicious, we ordered cakes and drinks which we really enjoyed. I think it was a little pricey but was cheap compared to other tea rooms in the area. Give it a go you wont be disappointed!

Excellent service. Good value for food. Generous portions. Good range on menu. Well worth a visit. Very pleasant atmosphere.

Our second visit in as many days says everything! Fabulous service, the waitress even remembered us from the day before....hope that was a good thing? Haha! Straightforward food and drinks but everything delicious and left us full and happy. Will definitely come here again if back in York in the future.

We had a lovely afternoon tea here today. The food was delicious and really fresh and the portions very generous. Additionally the staff were very helpful and friendly. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed. We will be back to try breakfast and lunch

Very well hidden - lovely little cafe above an antique shop. Lovely friendly staff and delicious cakes. Very pleasant.

Visited the Tea rooms yesterday after a visit to York Minster. I’m following Slimming World and it’s SO hard to find somewhere to eat where both myself and my husband have a choice. It’s a little Gem...cakes looked to die for, very fresh although I did resist! I had jacket potato with tuna and hubby had celery soup and sandwich. Both very tasty, well presented, and staff very friendly. Located in an antiques shop..lovely to look around. X

Lovely little tea room above an antique shop, wouldn't have known it was there if it wasn't for a lady handing out 10% off vouchers outside. We both had the sandwich, cake and any drink deal. Really lovely and service with a smile from the young girl. Egg mayo was delicious. Other food looked lovely, would definitely try the afternoon tea if we came again

Delightful tea time at Molly’s. Everything was delicious,crispy and fresh. Lovely lady. And the antique shop is such a alibaba’s cavern!! Love it.

A little hard to find as it's located in an antiques shop, but after reading good reviews we had to pay a visit. Very welcoming and friendly little cafe, with quaint decor. Food selection was good, and very reasonably priced. My partners full English breakfast was huge and my sandwich was one of the nicest I've had in a long time. Would definitely recommend. While we didn't have the afternoon tea, others looked amazing and nicely presented.

A little hard to find, being above an antiques shop, but worth the search. All the waitresses are very friendly and chatty, the food is basic but very well cooked and plentiful. Did have a voucher but forgot to use it! Two meals with drinks came to under £20 (including a cake with one), which is great value, especially in York. I will definitely go there again.

Had a lovely afternoon Tea for two. A gluten free and an ordinary one. They were both equally excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The portions were ample and the cream cheese and smoked salmon sandwiches especially delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful too. Would definitely recommend it and would make a return visit.

Stopped in here on a midweek morning for a Coffee, Hot Chocolate and scones jam and cream. There was nothing wrong with what we received but it was very average and much better is available elsewhere. We won't be returning here for coffee and scones as York has a surplus of establishments that do this much better.

We were given a discount leaflet outside & we were looking for somewhere to have tea & cake, so popped in. What a great find! It’s above an antiques shop with a good selection of food, reasonably priced with friendly attentive staff. Will defiantly visit next time we are in york

We visited with our young son during the Viking Festival. The food was great, the staff were lovely. There was something for everyone on the menu and very well priced. However there were no baby changing facilities, to be honest the toilets were not large enough and you can sneak into The Olde Starre Inne across the street. The accessibility isn't great, but luckily since having our son I've developed muscles so my husband carried our son and I carried the pushchair full of bags up and down the stairs. Still worth it. Would definitely visit again, but might make the kid walk up the stairs next time

Excellent GF carrot cake and the service was superb. We were warmly welcomed in and the table quickly arranged for us. The waitress was friendly and helpful. Range of GF cakes was only three but carrot cake moist and filling creamy.

Been today only been once before. Took my son cos I loved it last time great value for money but a bit disappointed my son asked for soup and a barbaqu chicken and cheese panini .brought the panini no cheese in it also they forgot about the soup as well so he only ate a bit of it cos it was dry but it was a shame really looking forward to a warm soup

We had a hot drink and a piece of cake each. It was very good value for money as well as being very nice. The biggest problem with Molly's is there is not one close to my home! Really great food, drink & atmosphere.

We visit this tea room every year on a Sunday morning, and have amazing cupcakes to take out and delicious coffee in quaint charming surroundings with delightful staff.

Went here with my family to get a breakfast before exploring. Seems very nice having a little cafe in an antique shop. Was very cool being able to see all the items in the shop. Staff were nice and friendly but the meal was just crappy. The bacon was burnt at one end and under cooked at the other, mushrooms didn't seem to be cooked at all, sausage was again burnt one side, under cooked the other and tasted like a cheap sausage. All of this and it wasn't cheap.

unfortunately I didn't give this a good review last time I think they had problems with equipment but decided to try again as we had always come here for breakfast and once again it was excellent my other half had full English I had the creamed mushrooms both were worth waiting for washed down with a pot of tea. the place is always immaculate and staff are cheerful and friendly and the cost very reasonable

Lunch with my husband and (adult) daughter. Molly was very friendly and attentive despite being very busy. Good was great value and very nice. Cakes are amazing!

Excellent food served by very friendly staff. Great menu to choose from and tea served from large china pot.

This little cafe is above a really interesting antiques shop and is well worth a visit. The welcome is always friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The bacon sarnies set you up for the day, good quality thick bacon cooked as you like it, all washed down with a pot of tea.

On a day out in york we came across this lovely tea room small but really worth the wait when busy, i had smoked salmon sandwich salad very nice there array of food on offer the afternoon tea looked amazing will try this one day we have been back 3 times now and will keep going staff very nice service excellent.

We called in to no. 41 after going on a ghost walk the previous evening and being told of a ghostly tale. We walked through the antiques and came across Mollys which looked popular and good value. We had already eaten so decided to pay them a visit the following day for lunch, we both had soup of the day with generous servings of bread and a pot of tea. Good value, good service, good food -what more can we ask for.

We visited twice in 2 days, would have been 3 if we weren’t too late yesterday! Our party of 5 were accommodated with no hassle. We ordered lunch yesterday several sandwiches, soups and jacket potato. Food came and was enough to feed an army, portions were perfect size for spending hours trekking around the Christmas market. Today’s order was a scone and tea for all, bar one who ordered the carrot cake. It was the best scone I’ve had, just out the oven and so tasty. The carrot cake was lovely too!

This is a lovely tea room up above an antiques shop. The people were really friendly and the food menu varied with excellent gluten free options. The food and drinks served were high quality. Definitely worth a visit!

Just called in because it was busy most other places, what a little jemmy, smashing staff and the food was really good, I had banoffee pie - it was home made and to die for! A nice place to walk round and browse at all the stuff from years ago, far too many to mention and you can buy them.

After having a lovely but tiring day in York, myself my daughter and friend saw a notice board outside Mollys Tearooms advertising coffees and teas,so we decided to pop in for a coffee,we were shown to a table and were asked what we would like,i told the waitress that we would like 2 coffees and a lemonade,we were then told that the owner did not like anyone going in for just a drink without buying food as well,but on this occasion we would be allowed to stay,but in the future if we wanted to go again we would have to buy food!!! NEVER EVER have i gone to a cafe ,restaurant,pub or other premises selling drinks have i been told that I HAD TO BUY FOOD as well as a drink,it does not say that outside,GREEDY GREEDY OWNERS!!! I would not go there again if it was the last tearooms on the planet.

When we saw Molly's was rated as one of the best tearooms for breakfast we thought it worth a visit. I was disappointed to find nothing at all wrong with the place but nothing outstanding either. usual York prices for good enough food but not worth seeking out.

So we were originally hoping to go to Betty’s but the queues were very long on a Saturday. A quick google search brought up Mollys. You do have to look for it as you have to enter a shop and then go upstairs for the tearoom. It’s quite small and looks like a normal cafe with some vintage wall art.

We discovered these tea rooms last year and now return each time we visit York. Fantastic homemade food at reasonable prices, rather quirky above an antique shop, very clean and extremely polite and helpful staff, nothing is too much trouble for them. They cater for all diets on request, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free etc. Large, well presented portions. Today i have homemade soup and sandwich, couldnt manage the sandwich so they wrapped it in foil for on my journey home. Would definately recommend.

My wife and I stumbled across Molly’s . Wonderful tea room with character. Fantastic value for the afternoon tea, cheaper than most. Your loss if you don’t give them a try..

We wouldn't have known Molly's was here unless we weren't given the promotional handout. I now pop in here when I have friends staying to eat afternoon tea. Great food and the all the cakes etc are homemade.

We had been to the more well known tea shop where long queues etc. We were given a leaflet outside Molly's as its not obvious it's above the antique centre & duly returned to try it. We decided for full afternoon tea at £24.95 for two. It was packed with finger sarnies, tastey homemade onion chutney in side dish, and apart from huge fruity homemade scones somehow we ended up with choosing which slices cakes we preferred! We had to bring cake home as it was too much! This family friendly tea shop is superb old fashioned and amazing value and yes it is really home made. Nothing was too much trouble and the owner was back out in street letting passing public know. A little gem that deserves much more fanfare. We are now back home and have just had some of the cake we could not eat! Thank you Molly's a rare find and if we ever go back to York will visit again.

We found this lovely place looking for a simple lunch. It was a bit chilly so we wanted to have some soup. Luckily Mollys served 2 different kinds. The potato leek soup was outstanding and I highly recommend it. The staff is super friendly and helpful. You'll definitely enjoy your tea or lunch here.

Just walking down Stonegate looking for a simple café for tea and cakes and we found this one hidden away upstairs over some sort of antique shop. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, the service was good and the price was less than we expected.

A real hidden gem, located within the antiques centre. Good selection of food on offer from full meals to cakes reasonable prices. Friendly service.

Mum and I visit Mollys every time we visit York which is usually once per month. This is the first time I have written a review for these tea rooms and decided I really should as it is such a lovely place to eat. The staff remember us now and couldn't be friendlier, they always have a smile for us and seem pleased to see us. The food is always spot on, we've tried lots of different things including panini, jacket potatoes and soup, always followed by a cake and we are never disappointed. The food and service and food are consistently excellent! We will be back

We stumbled upon this place quite by chance and can thoroughly recommend its retro 50s decor and character. Surrounded by old style toys, tin models, lead soldiers, vintage gas lamps, brass door furniture, wireless sets, and bric a brac, all for sale, the atmosphere was complimented by the pretty china settings. The menu was good honest lunch fare, with great attention to gluten free preferences. My husband had the all day breakfast whilst I had a panini. We didn't have any cake but I did rather drool over the extensive selection. Service with a smile, well worth a visit, and reasonably priced too.

Lovely little tearooms tucked away behind the antiques, there is a flight of stairs to climb. Really busy place, we had a discount offer given out on the day. Very pleasant staff who serv you at the table. Gluten free option available, would return and recommend a visit.

Easily overlooked due to its narrow frontage, Molly's is well worth a visit. The selection of cakes and chilled desserts was admirable and staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient. We didn't have a meal but what we saw looked very appetising and prices were more favourable than some similar tea rooms. An excellent find!

Had read reviews on Mollys and were determined to find the tearooms as they offered an extensive gluten free menu. However it is quite difficult to find as it is tucked away in an antique shop. Luckily there was a man in the street handing out discount cards for the tearooms as we approached it. We were met with a really cheerful waitress. She was very obliging. Being gluten free they had a wide range of cakes and sandwiches which I could choose from. They normally provide an afternoon tea for two people but actually prepared one especially for my husband. The food was very fresh and tasty. There was too much cake in the afternoon tea but they packed us up the remainder to take away. Reasonably priced as under £20 for both of us. Great little find and we will be returning.

We went in here after receiving a 10% off voucher from a lady as we were passing in the street, we wanted to avoid the big chain establishments and go for something more home cooked. We ordered jacket potatoes which were cooked to perfection, the creamed mushrooms were delicious as was the homemade quiche of the day (mediterranean vegetables and cheese), salad was fresh, only thing I would comment upon is that I would have preferred my water to have been chilled, however soft drinks were chilled so I could have opted for one of them if I wanted a really cold drink, overall a lovely place with very attentive polite staff, nothing was too much trouble. Would return if visiting York again

Had scones and a comforting cup of mocha. Scones paired with clotted cream and jam were brilliant. Would visit again if at York.

Visited 3 years ago and was impressed by the quality of ingredients and breakfast provided. Found the opposite now true.

Surrounded by interesting antiques this little tearoom is well worth a visit.We ordered the panini special included cake and drink of your choice.Paninis were very tasty came with salad Choice of cakes I had apple pie, piping hot Yummy! Will definitely visit again.

My parents visited last week with some friends they haven't seen in ages. My dad is coeliac so eating out can be a challenge sometimes. The food was very good as was the lovely China cups the tea came in complete with mini milk jug. Dad had jacket potatoe which was perfect followed by lemon drizzle cake (all gluten free). They would recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a nice afternoon out.

The first time I went here I was looking for a light bite but they had stopped serving food (this was around 3pm) so I went elsewhere. The next time I went I was looking for a piece of cake and I was not disappointed. The lovely homemade cakes my party had were really enjoyable and there was plenty of choice. The staff were really friendly both times I went and it was just unlucky that I went in too late the first time for a more substantial plate. The staff were also great with a party of twenty who wished to eat in the small café and I was very impressed.

My daughter is coeliac so eating out can be a little difficult sometimes.

Nice staff, good cuppa great cakes in an old tearoom setting even the staff are dressed in period uniforms worth a visit.

We were handed a flyer for Molly's Tearooms when we were walking around the Shambles during a hen party weekend in York. One of our party is gluten and dairy intolerant and the flyer mentioned gluten-free menu options. The staff were really helpful and ran through the recipes to make sure that everything was truly Free From - nothing was too much trouble.

A lovely tearoom in an antique centre which is brilliant to browse. Home made food which is delicious. The lentil soup was just like my mother used to make! Afternoon tea for two at £24.95 was amazing with loads to eat. Staff were really nice and very helpful. Would definitely go back.

We went to molly's tea rooms today really nice . the staff are so lovely and the food is very lovely so glad went had the cream tea very nice

We only went in as the lady was handing out 10% discount cards outside. So glad we did, nothing was too much trouble, reasonably priced, good portion sizes and the cake was scummy. Would definitely recommend.

We passed on Betty's Tea Room because of the long line. As we were walking down the street, a young lady offered us a flyer for 10% off Molly's Tea Room. We decided to give it a try and walked into the antiques shop and up the stairs. We had quiche, jacket potato, and salad. The quiche was delicious and full of vegetables. The jacket potato was hot and delicious. We had a Cloudy Lemonade, which is carbonated. It was very cold, and we even had ice in our glasses. We were too full to have any of the sweets, but they looked delicious. Service was quick and friendly. It is a small world because our waitress went to Lander University which is near to our home in Greenville, SC.

We had seen the queue for Betty's and decided against getting in it and standing in the pouring rain. So we headed up the Shambles and were flagged down by a lady inviting us to her tea rooms, with tables immediately available and offering 10% discount! Perfect. The tea room was lovely, as were the staff. We all chose one of their lunch offers - a freshly made sandwich (served with salad and crisps - a plate full!) with hot drink and slick of cake - £8.95 each minus the discount. It was all delicious and we thought very good value in the middle of York. The antique trinkets were nice to look around too. Would definitely return.

Access to this lovely tearoom is via an antique centre, which we very nearly missed.

This is our third visit to Mollys Tearooms, it's on our to do list every time we visit york and we've never left disappointed. All of the staff are really friendly and welcoming too!
