Great find for breakfast during our trip to York. There was a queue which moved quickly and they got us seated after a short wait. Loved the fact that the waitress brought us water to the table on seating us and swiftly took our order for food and drinks. The food was lovely. I had a bacon on ciabatta roll with a flat white coffee and my husband had the scrambled eggs on sourdough toast with a pot of tea. 5 star food and drinks. Would definitely return when I’m York again.
Really cute , friendly , lively cafe just outside the York city walls, on a lovely street, a lovely variety of food in which I struggled to choose, good vegetarian options as well. I chose the corn fritters and they were delicious, spicy, full of flavour, great place, highly recommend
Such a unique and homey cafe! The staff were very friendly and attentive!
Long queue in the freezing weather but worth it! The food was delicious as expected definitely recommend the creamy mushroom!
Recommend if you’re visiting York!
Had the pancakes with bacon and the Bombay potatoes which were both delicious! One of my favourite places to have brunch in York, plus the service is fast and friendly
A wet walk in the rain up here with my fiancée, which was well worth it. Croque madam and salted caramel pancakes were elite. Service was nice and friendly. Food came out quickly and the coffees where also nice. Recommend.
Lovely little cafe, staff were very friendly and the food and drinks arrived quickly.
Food was delicious, great portion sizes and fresh :)
Bit of a queue to get in but was a Sunday near Christmas so to be expected !
Wow what a place this is! No wonder it has a massive queue. But let me tell you - it’s worth the wait. We had a Madame croque - and it was better than any other one I’ve had in Paris. The service was lightning quick, the waitress was kind and outgoing. Don’t walk past this place - it’s definitely worth it.
Service by staff was excellent. They were super busy, but they made sure everyone was seen to and managed to get the queue down quickly. Even though they were busy, they were all really friendly!
The food was fantastic. Really good portions and so much to choose from! 😊

I’ve driven or walked past Robinson’s most days over the last 3 years and seen the queues, day in day out (except Wednesday as they are closed)
Can somewhere be this good to make people want to wait, rain or shine?
I was so intrigued that I was willing to queue, although I did tell my wife that if we arrived and there was a queue, we’d just go somewhere else. Fortunately no queue however we still queued alone as the restaurant was full. Stupid me.
As with most trendy (and not so) places in York, staff are aloof. The lady that came out to give us our menus, presumably to speed things up, didn’t mention how long we could possibly be waiting for a table. After 15 minutes, my wife had to ask the question.
I’ll cut to the chase, we had all of 2 bacon rolls (hard to get wrong) Steak and eggs (they got this wrong - gristly steak and have my doubts wether it was actually sirloin, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs (very good) and a side of hash browns (ball shaped and very good) Coffee was outstanding so the only thing that wasn’t great was the steak.
Service was just okay, ambiance was good and had a nice vibe. I’d go again but just wouldn’t order the steak.
The brunch is superb and the waiters are very welcoming. Although I was only here for a day and a half, I came here every morning to eat. The second time , my phone ran out of battery and they were kind enough to lend me the charger and look for the socket. Everyone is very welcoming and polite and makes you feel warm and fuzzy.
And of course the food is delicious, especially the black pudding and creamy mushrooms!
All in all, if you're in York, don't miss this place. Eat and have fun on your trip!
Maybe it's close to the train museum!
Once again I thank all the people at this restaurant
Good cafe.
Busy nearly every time we've passed, but today we saw a vacant table outside. I had the potato, black pudding and smoky bacon hash, it was really tasty and a good portion.
Also had a good flat white coffee.
Great staff, friendly and efficient.
We look forward to our next visit.
A local friend recommended Robinson and I’m so glad we came! It’s about 15m from the historic centre but a pleasant stroll for sure and in a pretty area full of cafes and independent shops. Very friendly staff, great coffee and delicious food from the fresh sourdough toast to pancakes stack.
We got there to find a long queue waiting to be seated 😟. We were waiting in the queue discussing whether to go and find another place to eat as we were told the approximate waiting time was 1/2 hour. The kind lady in front of us said it's worth the wait, so we stayed. Boy was she right, the food is amazing😋😁!
A short queue before the cafe opens, creamy mushroom is highly recommended
Very quick turnaround for food, lovely meals, service could have been a bit better (forgot a drink and to bring bill) but lovely place and will return!
This is my favorite store in York! Creamy mushrooms are my favorite! The attitude of the service staff is very good, and the food is plentiful and fresh. Hope they can do better!
Just look at those pancakes! Absolute 10/10. This place is a gem, service was quick and staff all very friendly. Some of the best pancakes I have ever had
My first visit & will be returning! Had a delicious tasty breakfast in pleasant comfy surroundings. Staff were friendly & polite. A lovely start to the day!
I had the Turkish breakfast and a Turmeric latte both were outstanding. As was the service, deformity had me wanting to come back.
