Yorks Of Thirsk in Hambleton

This is the best spot for breakfast/brunch in Thirsk. We always go here when visiting.Tasty food, inclusive menu, stonking portions and the friendliest staff.

We always call in here if we are in Thirsk and it never lets us down. This time, we were early enough for breakfast and it was a little quieter. Very good quality and generous portions, service is also cheerful and well-paced. It can be busy, but it's definitely worth the effort!

We ordered 2 hot drinks to go, ended up leaving after waiting 20 minutes so can’t comment on the quality. Staff didn’t seem to know what they were doing. An apology or explanation regarding the delay would’ve been appreciated.

What a lovely little tea room this is. Selection of food is great, all day breakfast is a must. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Dog friendly too. Great place to eat. Brought the home made scones back with us too. Mmmmm

We eggs royale and the quiche both were very nice although a bit pricey.We had seen the menu so we're aware of the price before so not a problem but I was surprised when I asked for salad dressing to find I'd been charged £1:50 for it. I have eaten in all kinds of cafes and restaurants all over the country and have never been charged for salad dressing. On reading previous reviews it seems that this café is prone to little add ons like someone who was charged £1:50 for an extra plate .Such a pity nice little café good food nice staff just seems a bit unnecessary.Graham and Audrey

Stopped off here for breakfast on our way to Whitby. Three egg omelette with salad was huge!! Really tasty too. My husband had the full English and loved the black pudding and tasty sausage. Decent peppermint and earl grey tea too. Not the cheapest place, but definitely worth it for the quality of the food served and the quantity. Highly recommended. Great service too.

Great food! We always come back to this little spot in thirsk for takeaway sandwhiches because they are just that good! Prices are great for quality of food + polite friendly staff 😊

We ate at this establishment a couple times while here visiting thirsk. The staff was tremendously helpful and friendly, and happy to go above and beyond to accommodate everyone inside. I'm also happy to say that being from the US the food is remarkably more fresh and delicious at a price that is extremely reasonable. The cost for two people to eat would be about a third of what it would normally cost in the US. The food is a much higher quality and freshness, I give this five out of five stars. Highly recommend visiting

Friendly, lovely food and genuinely dog friendly. Don’t waste time trying other “dog friendly” cafes in Thirsk unless you want to sit outside.

Just wanted something light. We had homemade minestrone soup (made by Claire) with granary bread. The most lovely soup we have had in many years.. the staff were extremely helpful and even told us how it was made. Though we were on holiday we would definitely call again when in the area. Plenty of parking nearby in the market square in Thirsk.

Appalling service and the breakfast left much to be desired. Only one highchair and not informed upon request that it was already in use. Will not be visiting again in a hurry

Amazing food and professional friendly service The quality and the way it was presented was really 10/10 . Will definitely be back to try other dishes they had on the menu.

A small, friendly cafe in the centre of Thirsk, serving breakfast and a range of salads, sandwiches, light bites and cakes. I’ve visited a couple of times and found the coffee to be superb whilst my friend enjoyed the decaf tea (Yorkshire Tea, I think). On one occasion, my young granddaughter and friend tucked into a homemade scone each which, judging by the few crumbs left on their plates, they liked! The food and drinks are definitely worthy of top marks but, unfortunately, the cafe is tight on space and, on this last occasion, we kept getting knocked as customers and staff pushed past our table. Also, the chairs are not especially comfortable (no cushion on the seat) and I wouldn’t want to sit for too long (okay for a drink and sweet treat, though!). A shame really, as the food looked delicious and there’s a nice atmosphere.

Excellent- arrived today as a group of 9 cyclists. Made to feel very welcome - great, friendly staff, excellent service and great food!! Thanks so much!

A small but amazing cafe. First time we walked in was busy , so no tables left, but after 10-15’ we managed to find a table. Friendly staff, nice food , ok prices . Because it’s small, during busy times, people squeeze past you, so you may not have enough space to sit comfortably . Overall a good 4-4.5 out of 5☺️

Nice little place to have a afternoon lunch, food was priced well,came quickly and hot and fresh 👍🏻 has a great specials board

Cheese and onion sandwich was expensive and full of mayonnaise slop. I would expect proper slice(s) of cheese and onion Salad was nice but accompanied by a mound of mayonnaise coleslaw!

We called in for a coffee at around 11am and were so impressed with the service and menu that we called in again for lunch at 1pm! A Great little cafe with a varied menu and great selection of hot and cold drinks including local beers and ciders. The food was excellent as was the service. Quite a small cafe so getting a table could be a problem during the busy season. Happy to recommend and would certainly call again if in the area.

Ordered garlic mushrooms on sourdough from the specials menu. Initial impression looked good until realising that 60% of the topping was actually creamy onions which weren't even mentioned on the menu. Spoilt meal completely. Second food order was a very uninspiring sausage sandwich. Politely mentioned these details to mature counter assistant. Did not seem to care. No apology whatsoever. On the plus side, the young lady who served us was very pleasant and the coffee was excellent, albeit expensive. There are nicer cafes in Thirsk.

Varied and interesting menu, friendly staff, quick service and good food all in a pleasant location.

We were staying in Thirsk for a few days a couple of weeks ago and decided to come here on the Sunday morning for breakfast. There was such a choice written on the blackboard. In the end I had Egg Royale which was the best I had ever tasted and my husband had the Full Veggie breakfast which he thoroughly enjoyed. We had a pot of Yorkshire tea each to accompany our breakfast. The cafe was busy but we didn't have to wait long to be served. The staff were very friendly and efficient. There was a lovely homely feel to the place. We would thoroughly recommend coming here if you are in Thirsk.

The soups. My god they are bliss. Cauliflower and cheese soup with a dunking bread cake. Go large for the extra 50p. Mosy round the town with soup in hand, yes please.

Staff attitude stinks. Didn’t like my sandwich as was swamped in mayonnaise mentioned it to staff (was still willing to pay full for it) got told couldn’t i have just scraped it off! Not even a sorry you didn’t like it..P.S invest in some chocolate your “hot chocolate” taste like dirty dishwater. Asking to pay for our food separately splitting the bill was like asking if she could climb mount Everest..

Amazing cafe - great brew, huge bacon roll and very tasty - great wee place - would highly recommend

So I'd already been here before for the cake and coffee. This time we tried lunch and I've got to say that it was probably the best quiche we've all had in our lives! It was exceptional. The perfect taste, texture and portion size with a great side serving of salad. Just managed to squeeze in a huge slice of carrot cake which once again was to die for. This place can't be beaten on quality food and pleasant service.

I wouldn't have bothered to write a review if I hadn't read the rude replies from the "owner" Matthew to other reviews. We arrived as a party of 5 yesterday and waited to be seated as requested by the sign. A member of staff said there were no tables for 5 so we said we would happily split between 2 tables for 4. She said they couldn't "use up" a table for 4 with only 2 people on it. 2 of us had to sit outside. During the course of our meal, we noticed several other tables only occupied by 2 people so were fed up about that. It took ages for the food to come and it was distinctly average with more onion than cheese on the toasties I had. The English breakfast was advertised as having 2 sausages, but it turned out to be one sausage cut in half lengthways! The message on the menu saying they would charge you £1.50 if you wanted to share a bowl of chips just added to the overall impression of a cafe trying to make as much money as they could out of you. When we paid, they seemed only capable of charging 2 separate bills for our group but even managed to mix those up with no offer to sort it out. In short, the food was expensive and average. The overall impression was that it is all about the money and not much customer focus. Go ahead with your response Matthew, I won't be reading it.

Approached the cafe and door way blocked by a ‘wait to be seated’ sign, fair do’s only one table being used inside and one outside, I caught the eye of the staff who were busy chatting and she looked away! Another looked over and continued nattering. Not sure what that was all about but took my custom next door!

Probably the best veggie breakfast I've ever had! Would deffo return. Previous reviews about bad service should be ignored, the ladies were rushed off their feet but still friendly and welcoming!

Totally astonished this morning when visiting this tearoom to be charged £12.55 for 2 coffees and 1 fruit scone!! When I returned to the counter to query the price I was told that I was charged £1.50 extra as I had asked for another plate so that I could share the scone with my sister. I have never ever in any establishment been asked to pay extra for another plate!! Needless to say I asked for the amount to be refunded onto my card but to my dismay this has not been done. Apparently this ridiculous rule had been put on the menu but as I wasn't offered a menu, how would I have known this fact. I was meant to feel this was my fault and no apology was offered.

Having visited this cafe before and had a good experience I wanted to take my daughter for lunch. She was visiting from Manchester and staying with me for a few days. We arrived at the cafe to find a couple just leaving a table. They signalled to us they were leaving so we took our seats passing a comment that was perfect timing. Just then (who I presumed was the owner) came over to us saying in a very rude manner’ let me clear the table first! ‘ We were shocked that she spoke to us in that way like we were a massive inconvenience. We then decided to take our business else where. I will never visit the cafe again because of the rudeness and unwelcome we were shown. My advice to them is get a sign before you enter saying please wait here to be seated if they can’t handle the pressure of a busy lunchtime . We did however have wonderful fish and chips at the white horse cafe followed by ice cream yummy.

Nice enough for a coffee. Wanted a scone so ordered with ‘fresh cream and jam’ but disappointingly received uht squirty cream which let it down somewhat. Pleasant enough place to sit in though.

I met my daughter here today (sunday) we had 2 coffees 1 quiche with salad (no dressing!) Coleslaw, 1 Welsh rarebit salad (no dressing!) Coleslaw 2 cups tea 1 cake orange drizzle ( very tasty !) Total of £44.95 ! Unbelievable, enough to say we won't be returning. This experience does nothing to encourage people to support the hospitality industry

I happened to be in lovely Thirsk this week and a little peckish so popped in here for a snack. I had their soup of the day which was Beer and Cheese. Not one I had tried before but so glad I did. It was absolutely delicious. Came with a lovely fresh roll and plenty of butter. Service was friendly and excellent. I would certainly call again.

This is the very best cafe in Thirsk. Cakes are homemade and also offer gluten free range which is unusual. They also offer the best quiche you've ever had. Lovely service too! I picked up a birthday cake that I'd ordered from them - it was amazing!

Went in here for a bite to eat on our first visit to Thirsk, certainly won't be back Unfortunately we didn't scrutinise the menu,just ordered 2 bacon rolls and 2 cans of coke. The bacon rolls were ok but nothing special and a can of coke is just that!!! Staff were not the friendliest even though the place was almost empty . Went to pay the bill and were gobsmacked to be charged £19.40 Most expensive bacon rolls and coke we've ever had

A great place to stop for a leisurely lunch on a hot Friday afternoon. Superb quality, locally sourced food and excellent service. Staff willingly tweaked the options we selected, so we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be returning customers.

We had a visit to Thirsk and popped in here for a lite bite and a coffee and tea ,we enjoyed the refreshments and pleasant staff ,we will visit hear next time we are in town

We always love eating here as the food and drinks are well made and taste great and we like the quirky bike and Yorkshire tea themes. The staff are always pleasant and despite its size there is a nice loo! In fact the small size...

Lovely tasty food, nice friendly staff, but surprised how expensive (£26) it was for bowl of soup, slice of quiche and two cans of soft drink.

Wow, just reading some of the replies from management, wish id seen this before giving money to them! Food - shockingly priced for the underwhelming food you get. Cake was bland and dry & the coffee was an insult. Ambience - none. Staff - ok,...

Good quality food. Friendly service. We ate twice here, once for a english breakfast and another time for cake. Both delicious. Especially the ginger cake. Being dog friendly is also a bonus.

Nice lunch here. Tasty eggs on granary toast and a granary panini. The bread was fresh and toasty perfectly. Parents had soup which was rich and tasty. Followed up with a nice slice of nutty carrot cake. Helpful staff. Loads of parking in an around...

'Looks more promising than it is. Paid £7.50 for a pot of tea and piece of very mediocre/dry cake. Staff not friendly either. Will be giving it a miss in future.

We visited Thirsk for a long weekend and dropped in to Yorks for some lunch on our first day. We were so glad we did! What a fantastic cafe. Wonderful, warm, and attentive staff, great surroundings, and plenty of choice for good and drinks. The...

Wow what a lovely busy little cafe. We had the most morish white hot chocolate and latte we’ve ever had, the bakewell tart and orange drizzle cake were absolutely scrummy. We were so impressed with the quality of food and drink and the service we’re...

I just want to say I popped in for something to eat, not a horrible bit of sass and attitude, very poor. I own and run my own restaurant. God knows how you and your tin pot cafe are still in business.

We stopped off in Thirsk on route to Staithes for a coffee. So glad we chose Yorks Of Thirsk! The best sticky ginger and lemon cake! Thanks for the super warm welcome from Faye and the ladies. We are going to arrange a weekend trip...

We stopped by on a Thursday lunch time. One of the worst cafe lunches for a long time! The coffee tasted burnt (which always signals an unclean machine to me) and way too hot, incredibly bitter and I love strong coffee! We ordered the Welsh...

Stopped by for lunch of quiche and salad. My dog was welcome and it was friendly. Bought some beer to take home to the husband.

Visited here on a Sunday, it was very busy but staff were good and service excellent. A good variety of sandwiches etc and some nice looking cakes. Reasonably priced. Would recommend a visit

Called in for breakfast and was not disappointed. The Black Sheep rarebit was tasty and filling and the full English breakfast was cooked to perfection. There is an extensive range of teas/coffees and cakes. A really nice place to stop and rest in Thirsk.

The menu was superb with ample choice for my children, we really were spoilt for choice. Add in the extremely friendly welcome and knowledgeable staff then this makes it the perfect little place to grab a bite to eat when visiting. Highly recommend the orange...

Original review (I had to delete to be able to reply to the management comments). Never experienced such hostility which is such a shame as our last visit was a complete different experience. Won’t visit again Thanks for your reply to my review. I do...

I had Yorkshire rarebit with local ale on superbly crisp sourdough bread with coleslaw and salad @ £10.95. The Asian beef broth, and ham, egg and chips were equally tempting. Had a slice of Victoria sponge to finish, one of about six cakes available. I...

Went here on advice of TripAdvisor for a cream tea. Cold day so in need of warm tea and scones. Nice little tearoom. Friendly staff. Cream tea was fine. Would recommend.

A lovely small cafe with a menu that punches way above its weight. Just go. Bacon sandwiches are ace. Very good coffee.

Me and my friend came for brunch, the service was amazing and food was unreal, best prawn sandwich ive had yet! Also bought some orange drizzle cake to have at home which was unreal, so moist and flavoursome. Definitely will come again!!

Second visit this week, the first was so good just had to come back. The cakes are just delicious, highly recommend the carrot cake and courgette, lime and pistachio, accompanied by a frothy hot chocolate. Will definitely be back.

We went here every day on our recent holiday! Dog friendly, child friendly, gluten and dairy free options of lunch (except cakes), the food and staff are amazing! 100% recommend, our favourite place bar none! My husband said the black pudding on the cooked breakfast...

Staff were nice but the food is so overpriced and the cafe far too hot inside when its summer. £10.95 for a piece of fried chicken in a bun with a tiny bit of coleslaw and lettuce... no chips? We ordered drinks as well, cokes...

Superb freshly cooked food, lovely atmosphere, super friendly staff, great coffee, very dog friendly, excellent service

We were party of 4, one who had special dietary requirements. The staff were so attentive and helpful. The meals were delicious. The atmosphere was so welcoming it made the day so enjoyable

As self proclaimed coffee snobs it’s always brilliant to find a great flat white spot and it’s here! Ace cafe with wonderful interior and tables on the square. The coffee was strong and hit the spot, the chips were homemade with Wensleydale and truffle oil...

Yorks of Thirsk had been on my bucket list for a long time, not only because their food always looks good on Instagram but the fact it's all served on T.G.Green 'Cornishware'. The café, situated on the Market Place is only small so can feel...

A great breakfast today - not greasy at all and beautifully tasty with friendly service. Great coffee too. Remains our favourite coffee shop in Thirsk

Popped in for a coffee after reading the other reviews, and it was spot on. My friend who was visiting from Australia ssid it was the first decent coffee she'd had since she arrived! We were served by the very pleasant and helpful Ben who...

Amongst numerous restaurants in the main square, my mother and I found this one by chance. What a delight, outstanding service, great English breakfast and superb coffee… all at a very reasonable price. Our verdict? 5 stars all the way.

WE first discovered this little cafe back in November. on returning to Yorkshire arranged to meet our friends both driving up from London for a March weekend away. What a treat. Wonderful friendly service, great coffee, breakfasts and changing specials using local ingredients. First introduction...

A day out in Thirsk, needed some food and a coffee, so called in here. Absolutely fabulous coffee, by taste and in looks (see photo), so much so that I ordered a second cup! Asked for the bacon to be well done, and it was...

Excellent cafe in Thirsk market square. Best hot chocolate I've had in a while and my partner rated the Eggs Royale as "cooked to perfection ". Friendly service, recommended.

Cute little cafe with a great menu. Lovely ambience, the staff were very friendly. Huge sausage sandwich

Visited hear for the first time whilest Glamping in orth Allerton, the breakfast was lovely and fresh with very friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely visit again when next visiting.

Dine here regularly, absolutely delicious food very good quality ingredients. Owner and staff so friendly and accommodating ! Thanks guys x

Thirsk has a good selection of cafes and pubs. But we were lucky every where else we looked was full. Lovely service. Amazing sandwiches and great gluten free selection for my wife. This will be our cafec of choice for future visit.

We first visited this lovely cafe in the summer on the way home from holiday. We only had coffee and cake at the time, but were intrigued by the tasty looking, homemade menu and vowed to go back for lunch one day and WOW! It...

My daughter and I visited here on our way home to Scotland and we were both very glad we did!! We both chose from the specials board (all sounded great) and my eggs benedict was one of the best I have ever had. A huge...

We stopped at York's on our way to Scarborough and were so impressed we called again on our way home! We had the full English breakfast and it was cooked to perfection and the best coffee I've had in ages. The staff are really friendly.

Have used cafe numerous times, always good. Snacks and sandwiches always presented with a bit of flair, and always have that little bit extra. Very varied menu, so will please everyone. Not part of a chain so it is completely individual. Seats outside for nice...

The choice is yours of coffee shops around Thirsk Market Square. We chose Yorks as it was a glorious day and they had outside seating. The staff were friendly, they had a good choice of alternative milk plus a good assortment of cakes all reasonably...

Super friendly welcome from highly efficient staff. Full breakfast was superb with the best black pudding I have ever tasted (self proclaimed expert!). Super pot of tea and lovely granary toast to go with it. Altogether outstanding, thank you to the staff for such an...

Lovely stop for a coffee and some cinnamon toast! Service was lovely, staff friendly and helpful. Nice selection of teas, beers, sweets and general gifts to take home too. View onto the market square is nice, and the cafe has a lovely atmosphere to go...

Had a takeaway bacon sandwich from the little shop at the back of the cafe. Good quality bacon, freshly made sandwich, good value. Can recommend!

Stopped off for a flat white & a fruit scone while visiting Thirsk. Best scones & the coffee was lovely, nice staff & definitely worth a visit.

A really nice place in the middle of the market place with fresh food and great coffee in a welcoming atmosphere. What more could you ask for?

Stopped in for breakfast & wasn't disappointed! Lovely food, great service & not overpriced. The coffee was good too! Would recommend.

We were just passing through Thirsk on our way home from Whitby and were so taken by this delightful little market town we decided to stop for a drink and a snack. Yorks of Thirsk is a smart looking little café with some outdoor seating...

We are a family of 8, made up of 4 adults and 4 youngsters, ranging in age from 2 - 9. The place was very busy, but they went out of their way to accommodate us all during a busy lunchtime. Have to say that...

We popped in for lunch and were not disappointed! The BEST sour dough club sandwich with fresh salad and home made slaw I've ever had!!! Brilliant staff, banging tunes on oh...and I've discovered Yorkshire Blackouf beer. We loved this place and are going back again...

Excellent cappuccino and even tastier cake. Stumbled on this little gem by accident and was extremely impressed. Only coffee and cake today, but will definitely return because the menu looked outstanding. Loved the specials board! Methinks another visit is on the horizon very soon. X

Looking for lunch, we selected Yorks as the most apealing cafe with its attractive interior decor including cycling shirts hung from the walls. We ordered and enjoyed a prawn mayonaise sandwich and bacon sandwich on granary rolls. With two excellent coffees and a Victoria sponge...
