MERCHANTS’ COFFEE HOUSE
Inspiring conversations for 660 years
Meet and enjoy delicious, locally sourced food and drink in the medieval guildhall, home of York’s Merchant Adventurers past and present.
Open to all, come and meet friends, family and colleagues for delicious food and drink in the inspiring setting of our medieval guildhall, or relax outside in our beautiful walled garden in fine weather.
Enjoy locally roasted coffee, freshly baked sumptuous cakes and snacks inspired by tales from over 660 years of York’s trading past.
The Merchants’ Coffee House closes at 1.00pm on most Saturdays to allow for weddings taking place at the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall. On those days we aren’t able to serve breakfasts or lunches but hot and cold drinks plus cakes and snacks will still be available.
Smaller portions of all our breakfasts and lunches are available for children.
Please contact us for allergy information.
