"York is blessed with so many independent coffee houses that it can be hard to tell where to get your fix from. This is one of the best, both for the coffee and for the place they pour it: a little turret poking out from the city walls and over the river. Clamber up the steep steps for serious espresso and unapologetic cakes to help you savour all that lovely stonework. Aquaphobic? The sister branch on Gillygate is a fine alternative." - Abell Design
