Some ideas for breakfast or brunch

York has loads of really great independently owned places for a coffee, cakes, pastries and all types of breakfasts. We've listed a few places here that we go to regularly. Some are 3 minutes walk away. None more than 10 minutes on foot.
We often dash to Partisan for some fabulous croissants or sourdough. When friends are in town, we book a table and savour their Persian Eggs or Eggs in Purgatory. Delicious!

Kiosk is tiny with a few seats outside. It serves fabulous coffee, great croissants and delicious sandwiches. The young guys who run it are really friendly and coffee experts.

This is really top end cooking. Great for a special occasion or if you just want to treat yourself. Arras has a great garden at the rear that adjoins the city walls

You can climb on the walls opposite the apartment. It really is the best way to start your visit by walking round them. The best part is between Bootham and Goodramgate.

Best seen on foot.

York is a medieval city and much of the centre is traffic free or traffic limited. It is great city for walking whether in the centre, on the city walls or along the river paths.
