Bison Coffee - York

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The coffee was superb and the food was delicious. I stopped by on my way to York and found convenient parking nearby. It was the perfect spot to relax before heading into the bustling parts of York.

I happened to stumble upon this restaurant while out for a stroll from work. They offer a small selection of cakes, toasties, and bagels. I tried the pastrami cheese and pickle bagel and it was delicious with plenty of filling. The decaf coffee was also great tasting. They also have alcohol available if that's what you're in the mood for. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and found the service to be decent. However, I was not impressed with my turkey, avocado, and mayo bagel. The turkey seemed to be processed and lacked flavor. My partner enjoyed their toasted cheese sandwich much more. The hot drinks were okay, but my flat white could have been hotter. While paying, I noticed the cakes in the display case were wrapped in cellophane, similar to those found in supermarkets. It was disappointing to see the lack of quality in the food offerings.

Quirky place to have a good coffee. Veggie breakfast rolls are really good make a change from meat replacement sausage. Staff overheard us moving because we’d sat under a music speaker (I’m having hearing loss so just makes it tricky) and came to turn the volume down without being asked. Well worth a visit as a much better, independent, alternative to Costa!

Amazing Bagels at student prices! Lovely coffee and a great place to meet up with friends. The funky decor is very welcoming and homely, and I really love the quirky details like the vintage spoons that come with hot chocolates! The staff are amazing, friendly, and super helpful, I love coming here and bringing friends and family. Also love the vintage clothing rack sale in the upstairs!
