The Attic Gallery Coffee Bar in York

Puede estar muy ocupado aquí, pero parece ser la mejor oportunidad de conseguir una mesa un sábado por la noche. Muchas ginebras y cócteles, tuvimos el tablero para compartir fizz y frutas que tiene 4 ginebras con sabor, bayas congeladas y una botella de prosecco para 28. Disfrutamos de preparar nuestras bebidas y probar las diferentes ginebras con sabor.

En un viaje a York el fin de semana pasado, nos encontramos adoloridos, hambrientos y sedientos, pero estábamos en el "tiempo intermedio" cuando era demasiado tarde para el té y demasiado temprano para la cena. Nos encontramos con un letrero para The Attic, que parece transformarse de un café a un bar / restaurante por la noche y decidimos subir las escaleras poco atractivas hasta el ático. No era un restaurante 'inteligente', pero 'en mal estado' sería una injusticia, por lo que tal vez lo mejor sería 'cómodo'. Optamos por los platos de queso y carne y un par de pequeños lotes de ginebra y tónicos, mientras el sol se ponía sobre Kings Square. El personal era amable y atento, la comida excelente y abundante, y proporcionó la solución perfecta para nuestras necesidades.

It is up 2 flights of stairs but well worth the climb. Excellent cake and coffee. Friendly staff and very good service

Gran pequeña cafetería justo al lado de The Shambles. Tuvimos una parada rápida para almorzar y la comida y el servicio eran muy buenos y no demasiado caros. Es bueno poder pasar por alto la plaza también.

No me puedo quejar del café, era encantador y me encanta ir a cafeterías que no son de la cadena, ya que suelen tener cafés interesantes con sabores interesantes. La tienda de cafés tenía una hermosa vista de las calles de la ciudad y el hecho de que estuviera por encima del nivel de la calle significaba que usted veía más, lo cual es genial, la única falla que pude encontrar fue la atmósfera de tratar de ser demasiado lujoso para una cafetería. No es una imagen de cafetería "moderna", sino más bien snobby y no se adapta a una cafetería para hacer eso. Betty hace eso y es una razón por la que muchos lo evitarían.

The cafe is up two flights of narrow stairs, so unsuitable for anyone with mobility problems. It was busy when we visited, but helpful staff were rearranging tables to seat everyone. We had drinks and cake, the cakes had a nice ‘homemade’ look and were very tasty. Service was prompt and friendly.

Rave reviews elsewhere - Sunday morning visit - v average coffee and Ok surroundings. I wouldn't rush back.

Little hidden gem, well worth a visit. My friend and I had the Yorkshire Ploughman's sharing platter, great value and absolutely delicious and a lovely coffee. Staff are great too. Well worth a trip.

Nice for sandwiches, jacket potatoes or cake. Staff really friendly and reasonable prices. Situated on 1st floor.

Made a spur of the moment pit stop to recharge our batteries. We chose correctly the Attic is fresh and bright with welcoming staff and good view is manage to get a window seat of the square. I was impressed with tea service and my friend loved the cafetiere of the coffee. We both had sandwiches which were very tasty and freshly filled. The coleslaw was really nice! Despite it being busy we weren't rushed and sat for a while sipping our drinks. Would recommend and would return. Not suitable for those with mobility issues as it is up a flight of stairs.

Most amazing little coffee shop - only open on some afternoons and Saturdays, but does the best coffee. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Harlequin cafe is open on the floor below.

This was one of 4 coffee shops recommended in York in the "Northern Independent Coffee Guide". It is situated in Kings Square on the 1st floor. It was busy, but we were able to get seated quickly. There is a good range of coffee and other drinks, and although we went mid afternoon, the menu showed a good choice of food as well. We just had scones and drinks and they were really good. Service quick and efficient too.

What an amazing place. Staff really welcoming nothing too much trouble, even booked us a restaraunt and taxi after we had finished our drinks. A very extensive gin selection and the staff were very knowledgable about all the products. We will certainly be returning here soon a fabulous evening.

Their milkshakes are made the old fashioned way with ice cream and milk which makes for a delicious coffee cooler on a warm day. They have a nice selection of tea including Yorkshire tea (of course) and a choice of coffee beans so that you can select the right blend for you. If you use the fact that you walk up two flights of stairs to get here, you can easily justify having a piece of delicious cake with your drink.

The coffee is delicious and the cakes are wonderful. This is a delightful coffee stop and well worth visiting.

The coffee was delicious and the staff were lovely! Attic seemed quite chilled, with a few people dotted about working and people who'd been out shopping etc- just a general nice relaxed vibe. We didn't order any cakes but they looked great!!!

This was our second visit up to The Attic for an afternoon cup of tea having spent a good few hours walking around York. My neighbours recommended me to you and I am glad that they did.

How have I not known about this place before now? Serious coffee, happy staff and great atmosphere. There are loads of places to get coffee in York but only a handful where the coffee is of seriously high quality and the Attic is one of...

Much in need of warming up on a very cold February afternoon we stumbled upon Attic and were very impressed. We didn't try any of the cakes but they looked tempting and they clearly take their coffee extremely seriously with a wide range of beans...

Nice little location, very quaint room. Plenty of choice for food and drink, lovely cakes. Staff very friendly and attentive.

Since we had enjoyed coffee 2 weeks ago on the 2nd floor we thought we would try the 3rd floor which we knew also served alcoholic beverages. There was a nice choice of beers on tap as well as wine and a large variety of...

True hidden jam right in the middle of town. I am constantly on a lookout for good quality, well prepared coffee. This place is by far my favourite. Upsides: - Great selection of beans, that changes often. - Well made - different preparation - the...

I go there every week for my coffee fix (sadly, only opens Thu.-Sat., after 11:00 a.m) Using Hasbean coffee beans, and very well made! Also sat there at night for a very good selection and well prepared G&T. Recommended

I almost don't want to write this review so that it doesn't become crowded. It is perfectly wonderful up above the crowds in King's Square. You feel on top of the world. You are in the city and yet above the people so the viewing...

Wanting a coffee and a snack we ignored the prominent coffee chain place on the corner and headed up the staircase not knowing what we would find. We entered a room with a high ceiling and got a window table, allowing us to look down...

Had lunch in here and it was good. A little gem. Helpful and friendly staff. Not too crowded. However, I did feel the cost of the coffee was slightly more expensive than in some of the other York restaurants.

We went on a very busy Saturday afternoon, climbing warily up to the second floor, but as soon as we got in we got a table. A member of staff told us they were very busy, apologised and said it would be a bit of...

I got a great cup of coffe here! Friendly, knowledgeable staff. I had not had a drinkable coffee yet while in Britain, and was pleasantly surprised to find a coffee place that sold excellent coffee, and not milkshake. I highly recommend this place.

Wee secret hideaway of a coffee shop. Continue to the top floor past the tearoom! Service was amazing and the large range of coffee beans were described to us in detail. We had a pour over coffee each and both were great. Although we just...

This is an easy place to miss. You enter from the street just near The Shambles through a doorway marked for 'Harlequin' Cafe. Then take the stairs and head all the way up. There's a cafe mid-way up - the Attic is the next floor...

The attic is a cool spot. We stopped in for a coffee but de used for tea instead. We got Yorkshire tea, which is apparently just normal tea we didn't know that haha. The had a huge gin menu. So if you like gin this...

We opted in on a family trip to York. The cafe is up a winding staircase and is lively and airy. The staff were very friendly and accommodating to the kids (offering smaller portions of main meals). In the time we were there, tables filled...

At the top of the Shambles this coffee shop/cafe is good value for money, tasty simple food, wether its the cheese and bread or the yorkshire ham. It is all served with salad and Yorkshire chutney. Excellent. This is a hidden gem in full sight....

Loved it. Dropped a star as the manager is harsh to staff and he needs a personality #miserable #smile

Went with friends from work what a great place relaxing friendly the staff were fantastic and the Yorkshire platters we had were fantastic plenty on them ,will all be returning as a group and with family and more friends

I don't really want to advertise this place as I want it to stay a hidden gem! It is such a peaceful, relaxing, but cool place to spend an hour enjoying the company of your friends. The staff are so good at their job and...

I visited the attic for a coffee and some lunch. I chose the slab of cheese with seeded bread. This came with some pickle and a small fresh salad. I was impressed by this coffee shop and the staff so will return in the future.👍

There is another cafe half way up the stairs - just keep on climbing. Excellent quality food, teas, coffees and light lunch fayre. The staff were really friendly. Bag a window seat and watch the street performers down below.

you can easily miss this bar as it is in the attic of a shop. If you manage to find it is excellent, great selection of gin and some beers, excellent service

I heard about this on here so thought I'd visit it. The gin menu is extensive!! The waitress helped me as I didn't really have a clue what to order and she was fab my drinks were all fantastic. I'm definitely going back

We were out for dinner and wanted a couple of drinks beforehand. Someone recommended "the coffee house in King's Square near the Chocolate Story, that sells gin". Sounded like an intriguing proposition, so went to find it. It's not easy but it is there, next...

We went to a few places in York, but none compared to The Attic. It's only opened a few days out of the week, but its open till late. They have a great alcohol selection and food option. However, their coffee is what won me...

A great place to meet friends for a drink, the staff are great and the options are amazing.they do sell other drinks too.

This is our second visit to this little gem. The Yorkshire platter was absolutely spot on and the recommended Cannonball IPA was very good. Friendly and helpful staff. Well worth a visit.

After going to the Gin Festival at The Racecourse I was so excited to hear from friends that The Attic by Night has a huge selection of gins to try. We arrived around 7:30 and bagged a table for 4 which I am so thankful...

What an amazing selection of coffee. Loads of different coffees to choose from with incredibly knowledgeable staff. Coffee can be prepared many different ways leading to a wonderful coffee experience. It has a selection of sofas and chairs and tables. There are hot an cold...

Just stopped for a quick tea and coffee, but everything was top-notch, and the space is comfy and quirky. A nice break from all the Costas and Caffe Neros.

We came here looking for lager we found Gin! Now we both hate tonic so we're surprised by the options offered! Lucy is amazing you say what you like she delivers! The range is extensive! Oh and they also do lager!!! The customer is imperative...

We had lunch here on our visit to York this week. I ordered a cheese and ale chutney sandwich which I asked to be lightly toasted, which was very tasty until I got to the last sandwich and found a hair within the bread. Luckily...

Found this place by surprise, was looking for a place to get a G & T, and couldn't have located a better one. Well worth the ascent of three flights of stairs. The staff was friendly, helpful, & knowledgeable of an extensive list of gins,...

Absolutely brilliant little bar. Amazing range of gins on offer, friendly barman can give great advice based on you're looking for...or just ask for a surprise!! Would well recommend it

Had a search for this place after some good reviews on Tripadvisor and wasn't disappointed. Great selection of gin, helpful bar staff and some well priced snacks as well. Will be going back.

A little bit of knowledge goes a long way. A well hidden gem. After a few steps into the Attic you are warmly welcomed to a quaint and quirky establishment. A huge choice of gins greet you. The staff are knowledgeable and are willing to...

This was a pleasant surprise in amongst the lovely but twee coffee and tea shops in York. Many varieties of unusual and rare gins served up with friendly advice on mixers and garnishes. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable. Well worth a visit.

Wide selection of gins available with some common ones, the more unusual and ones you've never heard of before. Helpful and friendly staff can advise on types of gin you might like and appropriate garnishes. Cosy atmosphere once the lights go down. The entrance is...

Recommended so gave it a try. A climb up the stairs but worth it. Great gin menu and recommendations from the very friendly staff. Relaxed and friendly. We will be back

We were recommended to try here. Wow. Coffee shop, good snacks, interesting beer, good priced wine and ............ Loads of gin, rum and whisky, with very knowledgeable staff. We had 3 gins, one rum and some bread and olives. Fantastic!

Fantastic little gem of a place. There is a vast array of gin and the friendly staff have a. really good knowledge of their range too. A must visit for any gin fan in search of something a bit different.

A unique if not weird place! We didn't know what t expect, but it is likely to surpass your expectations. We went for a look and ended up staying. What a lovely, cosy and friendly atmosphere. The staff attended to all our needs. Their knowledge...

A lovely place to visit great food and some grate drinks well worth putting on your list to go places Great food nice and clean and friendly staff

Not the easier place to find - it really is through that doorway in the square - but worth the climb up to the top floor. There's a homely, arty vibe to the place, but the coffee is serious. Alongside a menu boasting things like...

This place is a superb after six pm gin palace. Exellent selection of gins and great staff with all the recommendations! The attic cafe is firm recommendation for an off the beaten path York visit and the prefect start to a good night out.

Great little place out of the way of all the riff raff. One of the best selections of gin in York and great beer on draft and in bottle. Great service, intimate and friendly feel and mickey the manager was awesome, been back multiple times....

The staff were lovely, and the coffee was really nice. It is an excellent place to sit and have a quiet drink during the day.

We just walking past and a polite girl invited myself and my family to the Gin bar upstairs, coffee through the day gin at night. Two of my wife's favourite things. We were made to feel very welcome.

Not open all of the time, but try Thursday – Sunday for one of the best independent coffee stops in York. The two-storey stair climb is worth it for the view and the brew – highly recommended!

Enormously helpful and friendly staff and some genuinely excellent beers. Secluded and out the way, but sometimes that's rather lovely.

Then another climb. Basic seating, but what a range of award wining teas, coffees, hot chocolates and cocoa drinks. The young girl serving us was enthusiastic and infectious with her descriptions of drinks. Food available.

We visited on residents weekend. Not the friendliest of staff, though it has been a busy Saturday I imagine. Impeccable coffee, smooth and not a hint of bitterness in the espresso. Also had a tea, which was surprisingly good, one of the nicest teas I...

Cosy place. We decided to climb past the first floor Harlequin to the second Attic Gallery as it was less busy. Good range of beers, coffees, teas, cakes and sandwiches. Pleasant atmosphere. Seemed welcoming to families too, there were a couple of babies present and...

Very lovely little coffee shop! Great selection of cakes and snacks as well. Well positioned in a tall building on the main square in York. Go in through a little door and go to the top floor for best views, comfy seats and less people!...

Had heard good reports of this place so decided to try it, although we almost didn't as we couldn't find it! It is on the 2nd floor of a building above another cafe and not immediately obvious. We called in mid morning on a Saturday...

Third year in a row that we have visited York for my wife's birthday and the third year in a row that we have been to this wondrous coffee place for our first drink and lunch. As a previous reviewer has said, this is a...

Some friends and I were looking for somewhere different to grab a light bite one afternoon, and we decided on this place after a friend had recommend it's uniqueness. We were delighted with everything. Service, menu, standard and quality of food and cost were all...

I am reluctant to put a review about this hidden gem onto Trip Advisor because part of its appeal is that it wasn't jam packed even though it is in the heart of York... It is a lovely quiet little coffee shop which also has...

We heard that this little gem perched at the top of the very successful Harlequin Coffee building was now open late nights Friday and Saturday so a group of us went in. We had a very pleasant surprise - 5 craft beers on tap, a...

Really liked this coffee shop. Many places in York are just too busy, look at the queue outside Betty's! But the attic coffee house has good service, a choice of teas and coffees and great cake. Give it a try!

Fantastic selection of beers. Nice place to go for a coffee to. Food fantastic value.....................................

A lovely place with friendly staff. We had a coffee one day and were back for lunch the next. The Yorkshire platter was excellent, and the selection of craft beers superb. Keep climbing the stairs beyond the Harlequin and find a real gem!

Tucked away in King’s Square and just a stone’s throw from The Shambles, The Attic is on the upper of 2 floors reached through a very unassuming little doorway on the street (the first floor being Harlequin Coffee and Tea House). The food is very...

I'd always meant to pop into here as a friend of mine had recommended it (mainly for its beer!). I wish we hadn't left it so long before venturing in! Climbing up the two flights of stairs on a wet dark Saturday brought us into...

As city high streets are increasingly crowded with big chain coffee shops, it becomes more important for coffee lovers to seek out and celebrate the independents. In this case, it's easy to do. The Attic (after you have scaled the vertiginous staircase!) is a comfortable...
