Costa Coffee

You'll find this Costa tucked away on Museum Street, just off the main drag near York's cultural heart. It's the kind of place where you pop in between browsing the nearby shops or heading to the museums—nothing fancy, but it does what it says on the tin. The coffee's solid, the staff know what they're doing, and there's enough seating to actually sit down with your cappuccino rather than neck it standing up. It's got that familiar Costa comfort, which means you know what you're getting: reliable, warm, and efficient.
