Spring Espresso

Location: 45 Fossgate, YO1 9TF

Rating: 4.5/5

A customer wrote: “There are but a handful of places in Yorkshire where you can get a decent cappuccino and this is one of them.

“A proper Italian style cappuccino, not the usual swimming pool of milk that Brits are addicted to.

“And the amazing flapjack was, well, amazing! (The Bakewell was pretty good as well). Highly recommended.”
