York

Many travel guides will tell you about York's little streets, and its tendency to have those streets invaded by Vikings, Romans and such. It’s all true. But nowadays it's what York's community does with those little streets that really sets it apart. You'll find a crowd of independent shops, cafes and galleries, plus layer after layer of ancient architecture jostling for position. Presiding over it all is the glorious York Minster, a sandstone leviathan with immense charisma that dominates the city centre and offers fresh, weird design delights with each repeat visit.

On a corner of Bishopthorpe Road (voted Best High Street in the UK in 2015, as residents will gleefully tell you) sits this small but perfectly formed coffee joint. You can sit outside and watch the world go by or nestle into the comfy corner bench indoors while you wait for a caffeine reboot. The blackboards feature handy anatomical diagrams of the various coffees on offer, which arrive carefully constructed over the wooden counter along with sandwiches and tasty pastries.
