Brew & Brownie

Delicious! Service was top notch too. It’s actually almost been 6 months since I was in, but I’m going back to York tomorrow so that jogged my memory. My only regret was that I didn’t buy some of the art that was for sale on the walls. Really liked some of the pieces. I wonder if they’ll still be there when I go back tomorrow!
Update: Still ace, the art I wanted was gone though

I chanced upon this jewel when I was in York for business and I loved both the coffee and the breakfast there! Super delicious and fresh ingredients combined to a healthy morning treat. The coffee served is well balanced and fruity, not one of the bitter concoctions other places call coffee!
The only downside is that the café doesn’t open in time for me to catch breakfast there before work. Is that not a thing in York? I also wouldn’t mind if they kept open a bit longer. I would have certainly come more often had I had the chance.

Awesome place to get a cup of coffee! I’ve got a regular latte, very smooth and consistent! The brownies look amazing! Great staff! I would definitely recommend this place!

Best coffee in York! Wish I had tried the brownies too. Hipster deco to boot? Love it!

Easily one of the nicest breakfasts I’ve ever had and put simply, the salted caramel brownie will change your life! There’s a lovely atmosphere here too and the staff are happy and helpful. One of the highlights of my trip to York!

The cakes are all homemade and sooo incredible! The coffee and tea is excellent too, and the staff very kind! We went there at least twice during our 3 day stay in York, even if the city has a lot of places this one is definitely our fav :)

This place does great coffee centrally in York. The staff are friendly and and the cakes are good. When I’m working I’ll gladly walk past lots of other places in the vicinity to get myself a coffee. The food is good and big portions, but you pay for them. I tend to limit myself to coffee here, and the occasional cake, but I come here first most of the time when I get back to York.

I was looking for a place to grab a nice breakfast/​brunch in York, and was so pleased to find Brew & Brownie a short stumble from the York Minster.
This place gets crowded, so be prepared to wait a few minutes during peak hours. The breakfast/​brunch options here range from eggs and toast variations to sandwiches and salads. Add to this the smörgåsbord of delicious fresh pastry and you won’t want for options.
Happy to say we stopped by here twice during our visit to York. All in all I think we tried the savory muffins with tomato chutney, eggs, bacon (streaky! smoky!), smoked salmon, scones, croissants, chai, and a ham and cheese panini. They even served us off the brunch menu a bit early so we could get it takeaway and make our bus.
Lovely staff, delicious food. Would be a regular if I lived nearby!

It was a sunny blustery autumn Sunday, the type where the sun is shinning, the air feels crisp, your cheeks are slightly pink and the leaves are all shades of red and golden…
OK I am not a great story teller — just setting the scene about how I discovered Brew and Brownie. As I no longer work in town I very rarely have the chance to wander into new places and I am so happy I did so today. Brew and Brownie was there to give me an alternative for my coffee to go fix (by alternative I mean lets support independent people of York!). The place was packed and smelled delicious! They offer a selection of delicious looking food (think Swedish bakery style eatery for healthy and wholesome food) alongside some divine baked goods. The deco is cool without being characterless and offers seating on wooden tables with a café/​baked good stand to the front and large windows to observe the world. Alas I was only in to grab a coffee and sit outside in the sun (there is no outdoor seating but it is conveniently close to the Museum Gardens!). The staff are very friendly and efficient despite the bustling of the place and the mocha I had was very yummy to the taste buds!
Would certainly return here to try out some of those rolls I set my eyes on. You get the gist– we have to get to know each other a bit better! A productive Sunday all around me-​thinks.
