The Vintage Rose in York

Después de haber llegado a York, era hora de una taza rápida antes de explorar la maravillosa ciudad, y qué mejor lugar para sentarse - justo al lado del York Minster. El sol brillaba, un telón de fondo perfecto. El té se sirvió en una taza y un platillo lindos y se llevó a la mesa bastante rápido. El capuchino también se veía bien. Algunos pasteles estaban en oferta en el interior, pero nada que se llevó mi fantasía en ese momento del día - más selección se vio en oferta en otros lugares durante el fin de semana. Imaginaría que sería bastante difícil sentarse afuera en la primavera / verano.

Preciosa zona de estar exterior con vista al Minster. En serio buen blanco plano. Muy amable con los humanos y perros. Basta de decir.

Visitamos York por el día como una familia de 8 adultos, nos encontramos con este pequeño salón de té muy pintoresco lejos de todo el ajetreo, cerca de York Minster. Al llegar la encantadora señora detrás del mostrador era muy servicial y dijo que podía sentarnos todos juntos, que era muy agradable, ya que es muy pequeño por dentro. Todos los pasteles, bollos, etc eran todos caseros y hermosos. Sólo servían bebidas y pasteles el viernes, ¿tal vez con el fin de semana festivo? ¡¿No lo sé?! En todas partes era encantador y limpio. ¡Todos disfrutaron de sus pasteles y bebidas! La señora, como digo era encantadora, lo único que estropea este lugar es el servidor caballero muy grosero! Por lo tanto las 3 estrellas, Él defraudó completamente este lugar y arruinó nuestra experiencia con cómo habló a mi papá! Muy, muy grosero, no volvería por su terrible actitud cuando todo lo que mi papá trató de hacer fue ayudarlo! Necesitas aprender algunas habilidades de servicio al cliente 👎🏻 ¡Cinco estrellas para la encantadora dama y supongo, su establecimiento! ¡Decepcionó un lugar encantador!

Sat outside, a lovely view of the Minster, sipped on coffee and tucked into some cake. I had a simple yet effective brownie. I don't think it's the best quality ever, but don't get me wrong - it isn't bad. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Just not blow-your-mind amazing quality. Not badly priced though and very friendly service. Definitely come for the view/experience of sitting outside.

Don’t get me wrong, this place is in a great area to admire the amazing minister of York. Also, the cup of tea that I had was lovely but the staff weren’t particularly friendly. Decent little cafe but nothing special.

A lovely cafe with stunning views of the Minster. Very friendly staff. Coffee and cakes we had were lovely definitively worth a visit if your in York.

If the day is sunny Go no further, sonny A splendid view on the outside seats of the Minster’s west window. (Largest stained glass window in Europe Im told) Top tip: Pretty grassy area opposite to relax for free if you grab a take out coffee and don’t fancy being tempted by a cake.

This afternoon tea was booked to celebrate a friend’s special birthday. We were so looking forward to it. As soon as the afternoon tea came out we knew straight away that the cakes were shop bought 😢😢none of us said anything as the birthday girl had paid £100 for the 5 us and we didn’t want to upset her . On hindsight we should have complained. She was not a happy birthday girl. Such a shame as the lady who owned it was so nice . If you expect home made cakes don’t book 😢😢😢

We pre booked for afternoon tea here as the homemade cakes looked lovely and it looked like an old fashioned type of establishment, the location was perfect. ‘This wasn’t just any afternoon tea!’ A selection of sandwiches, hand cooked crisps and cakes with a hot drink. (We also then paid extra for cold drinks) We would NOT recommend coming here for afternoon tea unless you’re happy to have shop bought cakes , we feel a little disappointed as we had all looked forward to trying the homemade cakes which we could see on display for customers to buy at the counter. These cakes did not look anything like the ones we had been served, and our scones weren’t fresh they were dry. The cost per person was £20.00 which we thought was ok on booking but we realistically we would have been better off going to sit in the park with a picnic! Nicole was polite and chatty.

My friend and I stumbled upon this gorgeous little cafe on a beautiful sunny day. Sitting outside, view of the Minster, with a lovely cuppa and cake was just wonderful. Friendly lady serving, was very polite. The cake was yummy , we particularly like the lovely cups and teapot. A toilet was available which was clean too. We also like the fact that all the cakes on display where covered up, something we noticed wasn't always the case in other cafés we'd pased. So very hygienic. And the indoor seating area looked clean and pleasant too. Would definitely recommend.

If you get your kicks out of being treated badly at a café, then this place is for you, rude staff. The young lad working there on Sunday 2/4/23 quite frankly doesn't know the meaning of 'hospitable', and being in the hospitality industry, you'd think it vital. This was our first introduction to York, fortunately it was an isolated incident, the rest of our time in this lovely city was great, full of nice friendly shop keepers and café owners. So I would suggest you just avoid The Vintage Rose.

This small cafe has a window seat that overlooks the Minster! If that was not enough it is bursting with personality. We really enjoyed some scones and coffee prior to our visit to the Minster. Both were excellent and the service was also fist class. Recommended.

Right next to the Minster, really quiet area! Staff are so lovely and the service was brilliant! So happy to have a brew here with an incredible cake after a tour of York 🥰

We booked last minute for afternoon tea. Great spot (right by the minster) and good value for money. We felt very well looked after by the staff.

My parents, dogs, and I visited last month whilst on holiday in the city and can't recommend The Vintage Rose enough! The service was excellent and quick and the owner was so lovely! Our food and drinks were excellent - easily one of the best hot chocolates I have had! As other reviews have said, the cafe is in a row of three, so ensure that you are in the corrects seats in the outside area. Will definitely be making a stop there the next time we are in York.

Good coffee and a wonderful view. Selection of cakes looked good too. A latte was £3 which is decent for York. Friendly too (not usual for York!).

Found this gem of a place and stopped for a cold drink and a treat of a delicious jammie dodger cupcake. The other choice was a chocolate orange cupcake that was amazing as well. This cute place is in a row of three with outside seating at the moment and the payment is at the door. Beautiful surroundings too. Can't wait for my next visit

Lovely little vintage cafe. This cafe is in a row of 3 that all share the same path and outdoor areas, so make sure you sit on the chairs for the correct cafe! Very good value for money. The weather was warm when we visited so we sat outside. We had our dog with us and he was welcomed by the staff and guests! Although we only had drinks, the cupcakes looked lovely! Drinks were served in takeaway cups - i presume this is because we were outside rather than indoors. China cups would have been preferred - but dont let that put you off! A good stop for a cuppa with views of the minster!

We have been to this cafe twice in recent weeks and on each occasion very much enjoyed the coffee. On each visit, due to covid restrictions, we have seated outside and been served with throwaway cups. We enjoyed the millionaire shortbread and from the tempting...

This is one of three cafes in a line on College Street. We sat outside at tables under the trees, very pleasant. Drinks and cake were fine. Milk for the tea came in a china jug
