Phill Ya Boots Cafe in York

As I was waiting for my wife to have an appointment nearby I popped into the cafe for the first time and was very pleasantly surprised. I only had a cup of tea but was certainly tempted by the beautiful looking cakes and savouries on display. Lovely friendly and efficient service and lovely decor with wooden tables. I will definitely return again at some point in the near future to try the lovely looking food

Highly recommend. Good food, friendly staff and good seasonal options to eat and drink. Especially the steak pies which are perfect in this weather😍

Fantastic, friendly cafe with great food. Excellent value and lively atmosphere. Forget your big restaurant chains or city centre cafes, go here. You'll not regret it!

This is my regular cafe I’m very picky when it comes to drinks and food. This lovely friendly cafe makes you feel so welcome and looked after. Drinks are amazing and the food is fantastic 10/10 love this place it’s my go to after work xxx keep being shining phill ya boots team it definitely shows how much u care for your customers xx

Vicky is always very bubbly and friendly we regularly pop in for coffee and cake. She is so helpful with my husband who has mobility problems. I've always had great service and the food is great sometimes the portions are too big but who complains about too much very good value

I visited the cafe with a friend, I found one of the staff to be very rude and the food was average I am surprised the rating is so high on trip advisors. Many other cafes in York and the surrounding areas providing far better quality produce and service.

Just called in for a few snacks to take back down south. The cafe was full which is nice to see. Always a good sign of good quality food when it’s nice and full. Greeted by the chef which is a rare occasion as he’s normally cooking and too busy to talk. Sausage rolls and scotch eggs were banging. oh and the Chinese chicken sandwich which was that full is half all over the van floor. Keeping doing what you keep doing team Phil ya boots

Excellent breakfast this morning at Phill Ya Boots cafe,decided to try here as it’s hard to find places these days that can cook a decent breakfast,and they can !.We had full breakfast and it was perfect,everything tasted amazing.Owners great too very friendly and welcoming .Highly recommend a visit.

Called in for a freshly made quiche, really friendly staff, Vicky and Phil always make you feel welcome, quiche was define. would highly recommend. First class service and first class fresh quality meals, cakes, too much to choose from, range of coffees, all look delicious. Also the home made jams, chutneys, marmalades are also very nice. X

I recently stumbled upon Philyaboots Cafe, and I must say, it's a hidden gem that I almost hesitate to share. The atmosphere is charming, and the food is simply divine. During my Sunday morning visit, I indulged in their eggs Benedict, and each bite was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. I can't sing their praises enough, but then again, maybe I should keep this secret to myself to ensure I always have a spot!

Fantastic breakfast at Phil ya boots this morning. We were visiting York and wanted a breakfast before heading home and this was great. The breakfast was amazing, the service was very friendly and we loved the style of the cafe. One to remember and visit!

Lovely breakfast and great gluten free options. The service was great and the food was fantastic. Couldn’t fault it. We also came away with cakes for later. A good choice for gluten free cakes too, not just the usual brownies, which was a lovely surprise.

Lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff. The steak pie and hand cooked chips was excellent probably the best I've tasted. My wife had warm quiche and salad...delicious. No room for cake, so took some home for later, they looked too good to refuse. A great experience all round.

Enjoyed a fantastic breakfast with our family from the USA, staff were very friendly and the various meals all arrived at the same time and quality and quantity excellent and the home made quiche was delicious .The facilities are clean and tidy with a nice comfy seating.

Vicky, Phil and staff do a fantastic job of making you feel welcome. Food is amazing and all the items on the menu are so tempting it always takes me ages to pick. Whatever you decide to have I’m sure you won’t be disappointed! Full English, posh fish finger sarnie or homemade cheeseburger are a few I can thoroughly recommend and the chips are delicious!

Sunday brunch with family was delicious. Very friendly staff and quick service. Will definitely return if in the area in future.

I come to Phill ya Boots regularly, and the food and service is always great. A Previous commenter mentioned a low quality tea cake experience. I must say that this is the complete opposite to my experience of the sensational raisin rich baps. I have never experienced such a fluffy and perfectly toasted bun in my life. Would recommended 100%

A really cosy oasis in Woodthorpe that's obviously popular with locals. The menu covers everything from traditional breakfasts through pie and chips to cheeseburgers, but you'd be daft not to try some of the other options. I had the smashed avacado with poached eggs and chorizo, the eggs were perfectly poached and the whole thing tasted fabulous. Service was friendly and efficient and we bought a good-sized slice of pork and cranbery suasage roll to take away, which my eldest boy reports as being excellent! Well worth a visit.

We come every week and the consistency of the food and coffee is incredible. The menu is always changing and has a great range, but I almost always end up having a English breakfast. The halloumi breakfast sandwich is a close second. Well worth a visit if you are in the area!

It's become a weekly treat with my husband. During the summer we sit outside with our dog. The food is always good quality, abundant and served with a dash of love.

Brilliant little gem , we are so lucky to have PYB on our estate . Phill the chef ( owner) and Vicky ( owner) with lilly and Lisa members of staff , ( family members often come in and help out too ) lovely happy...

Ordered 2 teacakes at £3.50 each. Both where served cold, partly toasted and the parts that where toasted where black! Disappointing!

Amazing hidden gem. Wonderful warm welcome. Cosy & comfy. Good selection of dishes. Excellent coffee. Food is banging! You can tell this cafe is owned by a Chef. Don't waste your time on just a drink, or just a toasted teacake that you can get...

I have been wanting to come to this little gem for a long time and I certainly wasn't disappointed lots of food to choose from and by the way it was delicious very friendly staff and polite so thankyou I will definitely be returning

A really lovely cafe with a great team and service. The atmosphere was very homely and comfortable and the food was just delicious! Thankyou from me to the Phil Ya Boots team!

My boyfriend booked an afternoon tea for me and him as a surprise for our anniversary and from the moment we sat down it was brilliant. The selection was absolutely amazing for the price we paid and we were both so full at the end....

visited the cafe recently and had great service from isabel. The food was very nice!! i will definitely be returning!!!

Had a lovely meal and sweet treats here. My 7yr old who normally hates mushrooms said “the mushrooms have changed my life!” Really yummy grub. 👍

Have been to this lovely little cafe more times than I care to mention but last time there noticed the afternoon tea offerings so me and a couple of friends came today to give it a whirl! We were not disappointed! It needs to be...

What a little gem. Possibly the best bashed avocado I've ever had, it was delicious. Spoilt for choice and generous portion sizes. Even though I was full, I couldn't resist something sweet and a coffee. Friendly staff. Left feeling suitably stuffed! Will return to try...

We had an excellent lunch with our 88yr old Mum yesterday. We all thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and were very well looked after. We would certainly go again. The menu offered a wide and interesting choice. Thank you for making the day so memorable.

I have been a regular visitor since not long after Phil and Vicky opened their wonderful cafe, and I can honestly say I've never had a bad experience. The food is all freshly cooked or homemade, so you know you are getting quality. No, they...

My local cafe , run by the lovely phil & vicky, staff always friendly & helpful, breakfasts & breakfast rolls are very filling , tasty & presented well . The coffee & cake selection is always good with a good & varied selection. My favourite...

The staff here were, as always, very friendly and attentive. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Great selection of home made food to choose from, all reasonably priced, and my meal was amazing! Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit.

We went for breakfast, it was massively busy but the staff were incredbly helpful and friendly and our Full English was just awesome. Highly recommend

This family run cafe is pretty much just around the corner from us which is excellent. Myself and my husband met another couple for brunch and a catchup and it was really good. A friendly welcome, a cosy atmosphere and a really good full English....

Absolutely brilliant breakfast! Best in York imo! Friendly staff always welcoming! Would recommend to everyone!!

Went here for breakfast, nothing specal, and it is very overpriced for what you get . Soggy brown toast not given a choice of white or brown one small sausage and small portion of other items, not what you expected for nearly a tenner. Theres...

I don't understand how people are giving this cafe good reviews as yesterday I went with my sister and for £6.50 each we had the worst breakfast rolls we have ever eaten. 1 egg 1 mushroom 2 slices of tasteless bacon- one of which was...

Friendly staff, always amazing food.. lovely setting… Sunday brunch is amazing. Would definitely recommend this little gem.

Fantastic always! I'd happily travel from my home 1.5 hours away just for the friendly staff and delicious food. Phill and Vicky have created one of the best cafes I've ever been to.

Great quality food and great quality service. Price was a little high but you really do pay for what you get and one hundred percent worth the money. We would of happily paid more.

Great place to eat with lots of choice & fresh food. There's always something lovely to choose from whether it be cakes, sandwiches or meals. The drinks are always spot on too. You can tell Phil is a chef! Such friendly staff who work here...

I’ve been meaning to come here for some time and glad I finally made it. The staff were so welcoming straight away and the food was spot on. Thank you so much and I wish you all the best!

Excellent food and great coffee ☕️ This is our local cafe and always has a great atmosphere amongst the staff 😁 Love the eggs 🍳

The place is great for a full English breakfast. Recommend a pot of tea to wash it down too. There are a variety of other choices too. Also good to pop in for tea and a cake.

Fantastic cafe had one of the best bacon sandwiches I’ve had in a long time, great friendly service too and took some amazing cakes away as they looked too tempting! Can definitely recommend.

This is the most wonderful community cafe. It is always bustling, and rightly so. Phill cooks up amazing home-prepared sweets and savouries, with the biggest, friendliest smile always on show from his open kitchen. Vicky runs front of house with the bubbliest, happiest attitude, remembering...

Where to begin! Simply one of the best places I’ve ever visited for brunch food, drinks and cake. The service was fantastic: genuine northern charm and hospitality on full display lfor the southern friends we were meeting. Our party of 7 was evidently larger than...

Excellent breakfast, fantastic welcome and we were made to feel right at home. It was pretty busy but you can clearly see why, we would come back if we visit York again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to friends.

Came here for breakfast on Saturday and it was absolutley superb. We had a halloumi breakfast sandwich (highly recommended for vegetarians) and a bacon, sausage and hash brown butty. We couldn't resist the cakes on offer and were not disappointed! Everything was so good we...

Delightful local Yorkshire ambience & great service. As a "black no milk" coffee drinker I received a FULL cup of excellent brewed coffee (which so many establishments fail to do) accompanying a hearty breakfast/brunch. Highly recommended!

Excellent full English breakfast - the bacon was cooked to perfection. Very friendly service too. Would definitely recommend.

The best cooked breakfast in York bar none. Love this place and the food is amazing. Would highly recommend.

Lovely food and great value. Very friendly service. Will definitely be back. Staying near the racecourse for a day at the races it was very convenient.

The lasagne is amazing !! I did need a lie down afterwards 😁. I will be back another day for more, maybe an evening with a glass of red 🍷

Friendly staff, food does the job, lovely outdoor seating with park right next to it - helpful for little ones to run around safely without cars whilst waiting for the food.

Just had the most amazing breakfast ordered sm when it came thought they had made a mistake it was a big plate full it was absolutely delicious the best by far my hubby had egg and bacon sandwich said it was delicious. We also ordered...

We love this place for breakfast and lunchtimes, and now they have branched out to early evening meals. Fabulous. Last night we had to try it out and both had the absolutely scrumptious lasagne. And wine too! Too full to fit in the victoria sponge...

An amazing place for a full English breakfast with friendly staff and Plenty of seating. Decent sized portions and handy parking behind the cafe. Definitely recommend

Well I keep coming back! Yorks No.1 hidden gem. Friendly welcoming atmosphere and top notch grub. Still trying to work my way through the menu!

Fantastic breakfast well worth the drive out of the town centre of York around 10 mins from where we was staying. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. The whole breakfast was brilliant and cooked correctly. We will be back again Should be 6 stars 👍

Phill Ya Boots is our favourite breakfast place! The food is lovely and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. If you want high quality food and good portion sizes this is the place to go!

This is my sons local gastro cafe....all homemade, meat from the next door butchers... amazing... full English to smashed avocado with chorizo.... delicious.... dont tell anyone...you might not get a table?!!

We randomly found this cafe last year when visiting York and hunted it down again this year. Fabulous recommend to he sausage rolls and cheese scones
