The Fossgate Social - York

The staff were so cold and unkind. We left really upset. No need to ever treat people like this. It was like they were on a night out behind the bar and had no regard for the customers. They were mocking and arrogant. So so sad this used to be a lovely place.

Relaxed boutique style bar with a great vibe for evening drinks. Great beer selection and cocktails. Good service.

For an alcoholic beverage or a tasty coffee, you’ll find both here. Topped off by the selection of cakes by T’art bakery of York. (Red velvet donut was perfection). a selection of inside, outside, upstairs and down seating but not ideal for larger groups. Enjoy!

We called in on a January Satrday afternoon to refuel and spent a lovely hour watching the world go by. We had pots of Earl Gray tea and slabs of fig peanut cake which was superb). The entertainment was provided by the barman who was a dab hand at mixing cocktails. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

After having to pass a couple of coffee shops heading away from the city centre, we decided on this one, a somewhat random choice, but a good one nonetheless. Highlight for me was the delicious brownies by Brown Blonde of Morley, Leeds). Facilities and ambience good. Would have given 5* if coffee hotter, however it seems to me the machines that make the coffee just don’t make it particularly hot, so no fault of the barista.
