Great staff, food and drinks. Amazing experience at this restraunt. All the family enjoyed it and I recommend coming I'm look forward to coming back.

Great food with a nice selection, beautiful atmosphere and view, perfect if your walking on the York City Wall and want a bite to eat, also its right next to the grand Hotel Perfect if you are staying there.

Fantastic dirty chai, wonderful place to chill, the playlist was 10/10. I spent an hour here doing a sudoku, perfect vibes.

The location is super, Barker Tower on Lendal Bridge, and the upper cafe and dungeon look cosy and quirky but the service and food were at best average. We sat in the dungeon where the door was open, one of the windows is a grated...aperture giving great views over the river but pretty chilly, despite the fire, at this time of year. We were asked to take menus with us as we were shown to the dungeon and told that someone would come take our order. There was no alcholic drinks menu and no one came so we traipsed back up to ask about what wine was available and place our order. Our wine came first relatively quickly and our sandwiches soonish after. They were quite disappointing for the price - normal sliced brown packet loaf on my tuna salad and packet bagel for my friends cream cheese and smoked salmon. Mine had no garnish at all, my friends a handful of capers on the side of the plate. We had been finished for some time when A member of staff came to deliver a couple of coffees to the only other couple in the dungeon but despite looking over and seeing that we had finished she left without clearing the table or acknowledging us at all. Off we traipsed back upstairs again to ask for our table to be cleared and for cake and coffees. The coffee and cakes were nice, coffee a bit slopped but not surprising as it’s come down stairs, but the rest was just disappointing. We won’t be backMore

A super, charming, quirky, cosy place to grab some food or drink in a building bursting with history. Super friendly staff. There’s no where else quite like it in York. You’ll love it.

I enjoyed a lovely latte and scone at this wonderful spot in an old gatehouse on the river. The team worked together well and wew very gracious.

Lovely coffee and amazing cakes! Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff! 100% recommend over any of the chain stores.

Delicious breakfast cake, good coffee and very nice staff. We enjoyed a nice breakfast in a cheerful friendly atmosphere. The fact that it's in a very old tower with exposed beams, bricks makes it even better.

Stumbled across this little place. Great tasting coffee, nice setting, inside seating area was inviting, staff pleasant

Lovely little cafe by the river. Warm welcome and friendly service. All food appears homemade. Absolutely delicious strawberry tarts. Give it a try!

Stopped at this quirky funky cafe on the river in centre of York. Based in historic round fortification, a very cool place to have coffee and food.

Lovely coffee, good food, great value, and friendly staff! Had a nice view by the river- recommend for your coffee stops when in York
