The Habit, York
|
The Habit is one of a few places to get a coffee on Goodramgate and is set in a building that used to be owned by the clergy (hence the name). |
Despite the front window being etched invitingly with various types of coffee, it's more of a pub/restaurant than a coffee house. However, it's in such a nice spot and is so quiet in the mornings that it's worth an entry in this blog.

It does good coffee, although there's nothing in terms of muffins, cakes etc. For the best setting on a sunny day, head to the upstairs terrace with a view of the Minster. If the weather's not so good, there's plenty of room elsewhere.

It's licenced and has plenty of live music. For a coffee, it's best to go in the morning.
