Rise. Brunch

I cannot praise this place highly enough. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is absolutely sensational. Between us we had the turkish eggs with chorizo and halloumi, eggs royale, tiramisu french toast and avocado toast, it was all delicious and beautifully presented on the plate. It was constantly busy which is always the sign of somewhere good but if you have wait for a few minutes outside don’t worry, it will definitely be worth the wait.

You can't come to York and not visit this little gem of a place on Fossgate. By far the best breakfast we've had. It's hard to look past the incredible Turkish eggs, served with sourdough, sweet potato and a medley of incredible flavours. The potato hash side is also amazing. Every dish that came out looked amazing and really substantial portion sizes. It can get busy and there is often a queue ( they don't take bookings), but it's worth the wait. The service was great, very attentive staff despite them being super busy.

There is a bit of a wait for entry - with queues out of the door. But if you don't mind waiting 15 mins or so to be seated, you will NOT be disappointed. Lots of breakfast/brunch options on the menu; I went with a group of 5, and we all had something different, and each dish was delicious. Really friendly and welcoming staff - we had 5 suitcases between us, and despite the limited/cosy space, they were extremely accommodating and made sure we were comfortable.

Delicious breakfast served throughout the day so not rushing to get there early. Definitely worth the trip. Coffee was amazing which I know sounds easy but some people mess it up. Got the steak on special with a side of halloumi and mushrooms. Everything tasted delicious and the staff was really attentive

Food was superb, everything tasted great and portions were as expected given the price and taste. Only had to queue for 10 mins to be seated. As it was quite busy had to wait 30 mins for our food however we weren’t told it was going to be such a long wait so this would have been nice :) Apart from this, an excellent brunch cafe, would definitely recommend if you’re in York!
