Robinsons Cafe / General Store in Halton

Definitely a place to try. Really fantastic service. Great place, good food and good pricing. Absolutely the best coffee I've had in a long time. A very busy place, worth a wait or if you can try midweek.

Had the yummiest truffle mushroom on sourdough here! Cosy indoor space and great service.

In a city full of cafes & brunch spots, Robinsons definitely stands out with the beautiful food, excellent coffee, friendly staff and overall great atmosphere. I find myself coming back every chance I get - it just really is THAT good of a place.

Perfect toasts with mushrooms There is nothing better than them

Food is to die for! The Indian Style potatoes and the Turkish eggs are chef’s kiss. Worth the queue.

The pancakes were absolutely to die for, and the iced coffees were great too! Lovely staff, me and my girlfriend will definitely be returning the next time we are in York. Highly recommend.

Very very good food. It’s worthy queuing for it, even in the rain and the Storm Darragh. I like their homemade Hash Brown, it’s special and delicious. The bread is amazing too. The staff is so nice and friendly. I will say it’s the best restaurant/cafe in York for breakfast and brunch. Sorry, I don’t think they offer Full English breakfast.

We went for breakfast on one of city-break days in York: the food is fantastic, but the restaurant is laid out very badly, and we queued for a very long time.

Best brunch we've ever had. The turkish eggs were a thing of beauty. Worth the queue to get in, superb.

Well worth the wait in the queue (which was even longer when we left); lovely welcome, menu very inviting and great selection. Service with a smile, very friendly. Pictured are the pancakes with bacon/ maple syrup and banana/ caramel sauce and hazelnuts; both delicious 😋 clean plates all round 💪👌 Definitely worth a visit whilst in York; don't be put off by the queue, worth waiting for 🙏

Delicious food truly makes it all worthwhile, and I completely understand that waiting can be tough. It’s definitely worth it in the end.

The food is incredible, the portion sizes are great and the quality is very good. Really good value for money, and even when it’s busy it’s a calming place to be.

Food served hot and fresh Good portions

Probably one of my favourite lunch places in York. Food is always tasty and portions are just right. Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. It’s a shame they don’t do bookings as it’s always full.

Amazing food, just what we needed! Pancakes were the best pancakes I've ever had and the hashbrowns were so good. Staff were so friendly and atmosphere was a lovely vibe. Brilliant coffee too.

You were beyond kind on a day where I didn't feel my best. Thank you so much for your kindness, coffee and sourdough. It meant a lot. A special thank you to Beth the lovely waitress too.

Incredible brunch with delicious coffee, nice busy atmosphere too and the service was excellent. Highly recommend! It can get very busy on weekends though so be prepared to wait for a table. We went on a Monday morning and were seated almost immediately.

A very traditional café in the region, always busy and with a queue, but it moves quickly. The atmosphere is very cozy and the service is wonderful, as is the food. Everything was delicious and very well made, well worth the visit

It was a busy Sunday but the team tried their best to accommodate the customers. It was a bit slow though; we waited for around 20 minutes to get a table. Food prep was actually very fast. Tried the turkish eggs, very tasty and the chai latte was good. highly recommend it for brunch.

Fantastic - well worth the short wait. The menu here was great and each and every dish was so tasty - portions are huge too! The halloumi fries and mini hash browns were seriously good. The service here was also amazing, some of the friendliest and speediest we had on our trip to York. Will be revisiting Robinsons if ever back in York!

We went on a Sunday morning and there was an extremely long queue however it went very quickly and we were seated with 10 minutes, may be different if there's more than 3 of you. It's definitely worth it as the food is delicious!

Lovely food, great service and very friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Visited here countless times and will always be my go-to brunch place in York. Croque madame is highly recommended!!

We visited it on Sunday for the first time. There was a queue outside and we waited about 20-30 min to be seated but it was really worth to wait. The atmosphere is very welcoming and cosy. Service was fantastic in every way- they were very well organised, quick and attentive. Coffees were very good and we got 2 mimosas only for £12 on top. There are many options to choose from the menu even for a very picky eater. Dishes were packed with flavours and portions were generous. Honestly, this one goes to my top 5 breakfast/brunch spots straight away!

Delicious food and the service was as fast as they could realistically achieve and very friendly. You will need to queue if it is a busy day.

A busy little restaurant serving a breakfast, brunch and lunch. Eggs in lots of unusual ways. Very tasty and good food.

Best breakfast in the UK yet! Great quality ingredients and perfectly prepared chorizo breakfast hash!

Loved visiting here, very dog friendly we sat outside as the weather was dry (they also have an awning in case of rain) Food was fantastic we returned the next morning to try something different! Staff are great very attentive and friendly Service was great!! So glad we found this place 💖💖

Tried for the first time, and found this place is a new favourite, the queue outside waiting to go in speaks volumes. This was well worth the short wait of approx 15 mins to be seated. Situated in a lovely location, just a short walk to the town centre, convenient carpark nearby. The staff were all so friendly, bubbly and serving with a smile, very attentive. There is lots of choice on the menu, but all 3 of us were taken in by the pancake stack. My daughter ordered the pancakes Berry Compote, Maple Syrup & Creme Fraiche pancakes 'Full Stack' which consists of 3 pancakes, layered with creme Fraiche, maple syrup and lots of delicious fruity berry Compote. My husband and I ordered the Streaky Bacon, Maple Salted Butter and Maple Syrup pancakes, these were so tasty, the salted butter was devine. We also ordered a bowl of hash brown clusters as a share. All washed down with Americano coffee. Well what can I say, this place is the bee's knees. I highly recommend. The servers were fantastic. Well done 👍🏼✅

Definitely an amazing brunch place! The staff is incredibly friendly and the food is top notch! We’ve been lucky and didn’t wait too much in the queue but at certain times the queue can get quite long. If you are in a rush it won’t necessarily be the best place to consider. Would also recommend to go around 10-11am to get the full experience! Closer to 12 they might run out of certain ingredients and they would also not serve certain dishes. Lovely place, amazing food and hard working & dedicated staff! Would definitely return.

Visited for the first time on a Saturday lunchtime. We were a table of 5, so we were prepared to wait! Luckily we got in very quickly and didn't have to wait long. The menu looked good, and we all enjoyed our food. But, I was disappointed that there were limited options for lactose free food. Despite pancakes being a big offering, these can't be made without dairy. Likewise, many specials and menu options included cheeses, and eating them without wouldn't be the same flavour wise. Despite this, I did have a tasty meal after essentially ordering blind when my first two options couldn't be made dairy free. Overall, I would still recommend eating here as the food was tasty. But, if you have dietary requirements I would be wary, as the menu will be very reduced!

If you’re visiting York, this is an excellent place for breakfast or brunch. It’s a bit further out but highly recommend it. The food is great, and the staff is really kind. So no wonder it’s very busy - giving this place a really great vibe! Make sure to go early and expect a queue. I got lucky as I was alone so got a seat within 5 mins, but even for a party of 2 it could take 10-20 mins. I tried the Mexican eggs which tasted very similar to Shakahuka, and paired very well with the crunchy corn bread.

Always fantastic. I’d highly recommend the Mexican eggs.

Food is great and really excellent service. Staff can't do enough to help. Stood outside waiting this afternoon and it started to rain- staff member brought an umbrella out for us. Food is quick to arrive and really nice.

Perfect place for a family brunch on a one day stopover enroute from London to Scotland. Best hashbrowns ever!! The rest of the food was not bad either (pastries were a bit soggy), service fairly prompt and the music not too obtrusive.

Brilliant place to grab breakfast while visiting York. Food was top-tier and the staff extremely friendly. Great atmosphere and location. I challenge you to find a better freshly-squeezed orange juice anywhere in York.Just had the best breakfast experience! The food was incredible, some of the tastiest I've had in a while. And the staff were so welcoming and friendly, really made me feel comfortable. The fresh orange juice was the perfect touch, so refreshing! Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great breakfast spot!

Always great! Fabulous breakfast!

One of the best places to eat in York.

100/10 would highly recommend. Staff were lovely, was seated quickly even though it was so busy, food was out very quick and was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back!

Enjoyed a lovely brunch on a day out in York. Waited around 10 minutes for a table inside. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We had the black pudding hash and the Mexican eggs and both were delicious. Would also recommend the hash brown and halloumi sides. One of the best place for brunch we have visited recently would definitely recommend.

As we were staying in a house just around the corner from here we decided to come for breakfast. Boy, what a good decision! We had to wait 10 mins for a table as there were 7 of us but it was worth it. The food is absolutely delicious, with an interesting menu and everything is homemade. All the staff were attentive, kind and friendly, and the service was very quick. I can't think of one thing to fault and we enjoyed it so much we went back the following morning so we could all try something different from the menu. Don't hesitate, eat there!

There was a bit of a wait, which I put down to the fact that we were a larger group. It started raining, and the waitress offered us umbrellas, which we found very thoughtful. As soon as we were seated menus were brought over, orders were taken, and it wasn't long before we were eating. The waitresses were very attentive and catered to us and the baby we had with us ( they have high chairs for the little ones). Food portions were larger than we had anticipated, so our eyes were bigger than our stomach 😆. 10/10 and it was definitely worth the drive from Sheffield.

As always tasty. One of the best cafes that serves breakfast in York. Fresh-made food. I love this place. There are some days when is raining ☔️ I love to sit next to the window, playing beautiful music, relaxing 😌. Always busy service and not long waiting time, as a teacher of culinary skills and chef I have a big pleasure to have breakfast at “Robinsons”. It was hard to find a place which I could like because I worked for more than 15 years in hospitality services. But “Robinsons” “made my stomach” to be in love.

Lovely Cafe with great servers but let down by the food today. The pancakes while they looked great were not good and had not been made freshly (they were dry and the bottom of each pancake cut for reheating). What should have been maple butter was normal butter. Bit disappointed due to other high ratings.

Had a lovely breakfast and staff very efficient

My sister and I came here for a lunch about a month ago and I'm so glad that we did. We ordered smashed avo toast and a small stack of pancakes. Both dishes were so yummy. Plus we both ordered tea. The staff here were kind enough to seat us and take our order even though the kitchen was closing in 30 minutes. I recommend this place and look forward to coming back here.

amazing customer service and good food

Fabulous food, sat at the bar with comfy bar stools. Little bit of a queue but well worth it.

Great breakfast and halloumi fries

A great place with great staff and delicious food. Despite a little queue, we were greeted almost immediately, and we were given an umbrella for the sun. Later, waitresses were really nice and attentive. We were happy with breakfast options, and food and serving turned out to be amazing. Highly recommend this place if you visit York.

Finally got around to trying this coffee shop (been a York resident for years and then it got popular so was abit put off by queues!). I must say it was worth the wait - despite the busyness food still came relatively prompt and the staff were friendly and attentive - the drinks and coffee was a lovely blend and done well and the food was delectable. The pancakes were fluffy and filling. The caramel ones offering toppings on each layers - a much needed thought that just being on the top to ensure there’s enough toppings while the bacon ones came with a pot of extra maple syrup to cater to one’s preferences. The Turkish eggs were also flavoursome and done well. 5/5 would recommend

First visit and although the wait was slightly off putting the staff were lovely and so was the food We thought we might be rushed because of the queue but that wasn't the case at all we will definitely return

Staff are very welcoming, all dishes were great 👍🏻

Finally try this popular spot as we didn’t want to wait long in the queue. The food is absolutely stunning and we loved it so much. But what’s even better is their service despite it being so busy. My dad lightly commented on the coffee being a bit weak, they immediately taken it out of the bill. We really appreciate the gesture.

Best food out I’ve had in ages - fair prices, amazing food, great service! We shared the bread a jam, a side of poached eggs, hash browns, and the banana pancake stack - it was like having brunch tapas! Amazing 🙌

Really nice little cafe in York city centre. Staff were all friendly and the pancakes were perfection. Service was fast too. Definitely would recommend coming for breakfast or lunch!

Great food and lovely friendly staff. Coffee is very good too.

Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Lovely

We had a fantastic brunch at this cafe! The highlight for me was the truffle mushroom toast—it was absolutely amazing. The portions were very generous; we ordered three dishes for two adults and two children, and it was more than enough, we even took some home with us. The matcha on oat milk was nice, and all the food was incredibly tasty. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was great. Highly recommend this place

Went at 9am, was able to get a seat outside with our dog 😊 Food was amazing! Staff are friendly as well!

Very nice food,good portion sizes, great quality, 👍

Food was great and the staff amazingly friendly. Had to sit outside as we had a dog. Bought us blankets as there was a chill in the air. Liked the fact that the coffee was hot and it arrived promptly at the same time as the food.

Stopped and had lunch. The food was brilliant, drinks were proper tea (not tea bags) in posh pots. Staff helpful and friendly.

An exceptional brunch place. Really good food and drinks but especially fantastic staff. I spent an hour sitting at the bar watching how everyone handled a very busy Sunday morning and it was a picture of calm. What must be very challenging appears effortless, and all with a smile. Highly recommend.

Really lovely cafe!! Very busy and a queue out the door, but no one was waiting long! Despite the busyness, staff were calm and efficient, and still made time to chat with us and have a laugh. Thank you so much for the great service and delicious food! We will definitely be coming back!

Outstanding breakfast, polite welcoming staff. Recommend.

We've been to Robinsons many times and it never disappoints! They have plenty of vegan options for me which are always delicious! The staff are lovely, attentive and helpful, and it's located on the award-winning Bishy Road too so what's not to like?

So so good, worth the hype. Superb croque madam

A wet walk in the rain up here with my fiancée, which was well worth it. Croque madam and salted caramel pancakes were elite. Service was nice and friendly. Food came out quickly and the coffees where also nice. Recommend.

Over rated over priced. Simple bacon roll bread was like a house brick , ketchup cheap and vinegary bacon was nothin special.

Very best food I have had in England so far. Excellent choices and quality, service was very friendly.

The best scrambled eggs I've ever had!!!

Stopped here for coffee and brunch on Monday. The coffee was so weak, transparent and tasteless that we avoided ordering anything else. Can't imagine why there was a queue outside this place at the weekend.

Service by staff was excellent. They were super busy, but they made sure everyone was seen to and managed to get the queue down quickly. Even though they were busy, they were all really friendly! The food was fantastic. Really good portions and so much to choose from! 😊

It has a lovely, unique breakfast, incredible taste and generous portions and friendly staff

Looked lovely inside with a cozy atmosphere and super friendly staff. The food while really nicely presented was a bit disappointing for the price. The scrambled eggs were soggy, runny and undercooked which really let it down. Maybe I just got unlucky so would try again

I've been to Robinson's twice and the service is always great and the staff are really friendly. The food isn't bad by any stretch but some of the things on the menu feel like a bunch of nice ingredients thrown together rather than a coherent dish. Both times I've been I've ordered some of the more unusual things on the menu and both times I've ended up with a confused and slightly weird tasting brunch. Everyone else enjoyed their food though and the ingredients are good quality. I'll just stick to the more traditional menu options in future.

The dishes and tea are all very tasty. Very much like the hash brown balls.

Perfect spot for breakfast/brunch. Excellent service. Great food.

Had the pancakes with bacon and the Bombay potatoes which were both delicious! One of my favourite places to have brunch in York, plus the service is fast and friendly

A lovely little indie caff in York with several vegan options on the menu.

Ordered 2 Americano's £3-30 each ( approx ),nice coffee but only was a small cup ,which was expensive. Very pleasant staff.

Can't speak highly enough of this place, 15 min wait but very much worth it, the food was delicious, had a beautiful cup of lemon and ginger tea, scrambled egg on sourdough. Very good 👍🏻

I had the Turkish breakfast and a Turmeric latte both were outstanding. As was the service, deformity had me wanting to come back.

Wow what a place this is! No wonder it has a massive queue. But let me tell you - it’s worth the wait. We had a Madame croque - and it was better than any other one I’ve had in Paris. The service was lightning quick, the waitress was kind and outgoing. Don’t walk past this place - it’s definitely worth it.

Very quick turnaround for food, lovely meals, service could have been a bit better (forgot a drink and to bring bill) but lovely place and will return!

Great find for breakfast during our trip to York. There was a queue which moved quickly and they got us seated after a short wait. Loved the fact that the waitress brought us water to the table on seating us and swiftly took our order for food and drinks. The food was lovely. I had a bacon on ciabatta roll with a flat white coffee and my husband had the scrambled eggs on sourdough toast with a pot of tea. 5 star food and drinks. Would definitely return when I’m York again.

Best pancakes I’ve ever had in my 21 years of existence! Gr8 service! Even brought me water on the table as I sat down. Lovely staff. Would highly recommend!

Very very good. Had to wait outside whilst a table became free. Delicious food! Thoroughly recommend!

Really cute , friendly , lively cafe just outside the York city walls, on a lovely street, a lovely variety of food in which I struggled to choose, good vegetarian options as well. I chose the corn fritters and they were delicious, spicy, full of flavour, great place, highly recommend

The only place for breakfast, this was by far the best breakfast I've had in a long time. You can tell the attention to detail pays off by how busy it is

A short queue before the cafe opens, creamy mushroom is highly recommended

What a brilliant place for breakfast. I had porridge, which was fabulous!

Expect 20-30mins queue during weekend before got a table. Great food.

Food is nice. Coffee is bad. Please support local bean roasters because otherwise coffee beans are always burnt and give off a bad taste no matter who you get it from, unless they're roasted in small batches the coffee is bad.

Such a unique and homey cafe! The staff were very friendly and attentive! Long queue in the freezing weather but worth it! The food was delicious as expected definitely recommend the creamy mushroom! Recommend if you’re visiting York!

Delicious food, friendly helpful staff in a gorgeous, comfy cafe. They also catered really well for gluten free food (I am coeliac) and for my daughter who has a nut allergy. Highly recommend!

Loved it. The eggs on toast was wonderful. Being from the US, we got our hash brown fix along with it.

Lovely little cafe, staff were very friendly and the food and drinks arrived quickly. Food was delicious, great portion sizes and fresh :) Bit of a queue to get in but was a Sunday near Christmas so to be expected !
