Gatehouse Coffee york

A hidden gem of a coffee & cake shop literally in the York Wall. It is staffed by the guys & gals from Calvary Chapel Bible school, so it's nice to hear their stories and background - you should ask them to share! Tip - if the weather permits, head on up to the tables outside on the open air roof terrace.

What a lovely place to have a coffee and some cake. The cafe itself is absolutely gorgeous, with lovely medieval/vintage décor and this wonderful coffee smell all around you. The staff were nice and accommodating. You can also sit outside on the gate on a sunny day, which means I'm certainly coming back here!

We didn't stop for any refreshments, the staff allowed us to go out on the barbakan and onto the rooftop to see the view. They were very kind and welcoming, thank you! The food and drinks looked great, and we loved the decor and atmosphere. I will be dropping in again soon, but next time to try the wares- can't wait!

Completely unique setting, great coffee and nice staff. The terraces on the roof and along the barbican are really cool.

Have lived in York for 2 years and have just discovered this gem. Amazing location and views. It is the most quaint cafe that I have seen in York and it is really affordable. You can even eat on the top of the gate and look out into York. Worth it 100%

Probably the best coffee shop I have been to. I would highly recommend that anyone in York during autumn wraps up warm and enjoys a coffee on the walls here. It is absolutely beautiful to sit and look at the autumnal colours while enjoying a good coffee

This coffee ☕ is the best!!!! As if the coffee wasn't awesome in itself, the service and smile by the staff is just so uplifting. Perfect to pop in and grab whilst your wandering round the city or they do have some seating inside to have a restful cuppa. Highly recommended 👌

Really nice coffee and cake. Slight issue that flapjack was served on a paper napkin that it stuck to and meant you had to eat paper. Shame, as its these little issues that stop us going back and recommending. Otherwise the coffee is excellent.

Coffee shop actually in one of the gates in York's ancient walls. Made good use of the space and had lots of tables on top of the tower. Coffee and cake were good too.

Lovely place for a great coffee within a bit of York history. Cake portions are amazing!
