Tesco Cafe in York

Great little cafe for popping in for a drink and a cake….i like the fact the breakfast menu is available all day. The toasties here are top notch. What I like about here is the staff the ladies at the front are always so welcoming and the floor staff go out of there way to help in anyway they can. Extremely busy on college days but a queue won’t put me off as it always moves quickly I think some people forget a busy cafe and a queue shows how popular places are

Painfully slow service at 0930. I was 7th in the queue and 5 minutes later I was 4th. Sadly, they readily allow "headphones dodging". Two people with phones on loud speaker meant there was no peace in which to enjoy a coffee, so I left the queue and went elsewhere. When you don't have to queue too long and when away from headphone dodgers, it's a nice cafe that serves great coffee. So I visit under these circumstances.

Me and my family came here for lunch on 10/4/25 I ordered a toastie have to say better than home we was served by a very polite blonde lady not seen before in there didn't get name she was very helpful with our ordering as my partner is very fussy with food and she was lovely to our child she made her smile we enjoyed our time in the café will definitely be visiting again very clean tables and all round good quality and service definitely on a 5 star rating

I ordered a ham and cheese panini for £4.50 , there was no cheese, and just a slice of ham folded in half. Aswell as this, when i asked for a refund, the workers were very half arsed about it and seemed to not care. After my refund i got a breakfast bap with scrambled egg on the side for £6.75, in the breakfast bap was a lot of grease in a puddle ontop of cold bacon. Aswell as this my scrambled egg had atleast a shot of water come out.

Chips came out cold appear to been sitting out fir a long time. Replacement chips came out hot but only 6 chunky chips in the bowl. Fried breakfast. Poor quality of product. Egg white raw and toast cold and burnt

While I want to say this is good value for money, (& it would be if the food was not lukewarm) I have found that the last 4 times visitingchere, the 'hot' food arrives lukewarm at best. I have reported it on occasion and the response was to reheat. I have sat watching our food, sat on the serving hatch for minutes before it is delivered to us. So sad, as this would be excellent value if the food was served correctly

Fabulous cafe all staff are very welcoming food & drinks are lovely. Excellent service and friendly atmosphere.

The staff are really friendly . Sharon and Shane were great .

Cannot fault it. Supermarket cafe serving really good coffee and tasty food. The waffles with bacon and maple were lovely with a generous amount of syrup. Reasonably priced too. If this review was helpful please give it a like below.

Visited last month and all three of us got food poisoning. Contacted tesco to inform them, spoke the store manager and wasn’t even offered a refund for the food that made us ill and have to take time off work. Will never visit a Tesco cafe again.

Great place to have a coffe or have some meal while you are shopping. Prime Customer service.

Bad food. I had the vegetarian breakfast a few weeks ago. The hash brown was oily, the egg was solid, and the decaf coffee beans were burned. I tried it again today and had goats cheese and onion panini with chips and the panini tasted like it had been cooked in a microwave and the chips were still uncooked in the middle.

Went in last week with my toddler. Every single member of staff were so lovely and welcoming! Helping me manage with my son and just made it such a lovely experience. Will definitely be back!

Just got a take away breakfast from tesco delivered by just eat, & the breakfast was an absolute joke, I go to cafe quite a lot & they 100% wouldn't ov served that on a plate, I'm so annoyed & then the just eats driver left my food at the bottom ov flats as he refused to come to third floor even though I paid for delivery Absolutely disgraceful food & service

Excellent experience, the Staff are so attentive. The food is good and the cafe spotlessly clean

Yeah it's Tesco, but the food is good, the service is good and the prices are good. 10x better than its sister cafe at Clifton Moor.

Lovely cafe with a really nice atmosphere. Lovely staff, especially Kim who made my 3 year old sons day.

Very disappointed. But I suppose you get what you pay for. I would be happy to pay a bit more if that was reflected in the quality.

Sorry to see childs fish fingers chips and beans,has dropped to just 2 fish fingers from 3, good amount of chips to 6,and small pot of beans.Food now not worth the money.

Ordered fish and chips and chicken burger. The fish and chips were good. The burger was appalling. Tiny brioche bun shrivelled chicken wdnt feed a 5yr old for £6.55. Not good.

Fantastic staff. Good, decent food and great coffee is served here. Worth a visit? Hell yeah! 👍🏻

It’s brilliant! They charge similar to a fast food place yet the food tastes very fresh and good quality. Would definitely recommend and it would be good to see more of these popping up in cities and places as it’s really good quality food. My personal favourite so far is the souther fried chicken rap for lunch (that’s in the image) but I also want to try the Halloumi muffin for breakfast. The staff are really friendly and uplifting as well which is a great bonus. :)

Cafe here now reopened, on limited menu

Great fast service.nice food.lovely staff.whats not to like!!! Thanks.see you soon

Shocking, just had Eggs benedict. Toasted muffins, cold ham, 2 boiled eggs and what can only be described as salad cream with a squirt of lemon juice. Certainly wasn’t hollandaise sauce. Really poor.

One of our favourite places for a quick breakfast or snack. Staff are really friendly. Lovely chilled atmosphere.

Good cafe expirence with a nice quiet atmosphere. Staff are friendly and prices are cheap.

Really pretty average and not particularly cheap

The food here is really good for a supermarket cafe, cheaper than most restaurants too. The service is also really quick. We've eaten here for breakfast and lunch. All good. The only thing to avoid is the sausages, they're a bit cheap and taste full of cereals. I recommend the eggs royale, a beautiful, light and healthier breakfast.

Awful, chips were oven cooked and hard, baked beans were like lead pellets, avoid.

unelpful manager often quite rude, the other staff are lovely just ashame the manager is poor.....

Good service, food was as you would expect from a supermarket cafe - nothing special but freshly cooked and good value

All of it was amazing, people who give it 3.5 and below are weird nd don't know what top quality food is. The service, staff and food is excellent. Would definitely recommend this to people in that area.

This has to be the worst place for world not only in York but the UK. How they get away with it is anyone's guess. I bought a stake pie meal and firstly was told I couldn't have chips as it only comes with mash. So let's start there shall we. Question people how do you make mash? Do you empty a packet of cheap Tescos value instant mash and add water? Well that's what happened here. Then we move on to the stake pie. Sorry I mean mushroom and onion with 2 x 1/2 inch cubes of I must say very nice meat. But it only gets worse. The pastry, if you can call it that. Was more like a flour and water, dough mess. I sent first one back for not being cooked and give up hope with the 2nd. The peas were ok for frozen ones. On a good side the gravy was nice. So how much do you think this mess cost me? A premium price of £6.50! I knew it was over priced to start with so expected something nice. You would probably be better getting a cheap ready meal for £2 at Tescos then asking them to cook it. It would be so much nicer.
