Days

You'll find Days tucked into Parliament Street, where it's become exactly the sort of place York's daytime crowd needs. It's unpretentious in the best way — no Instagram-baiting plating, no beans-to-cup soliloquies. Just decent coffee, the kind of all-day breakfast that doesn't feel performative, and enough regulars nursing espressos that you'll clock it as a proper local spot on your first visit. The vibe is relaxed without trying, somewhere you can linger over a second coffee without feeling pressured to spend £8 on sourdough.
