Freshly pressed juices, great coffee and nutritious food.

An independent café with a very different style and outlook to those you may find on your local high street.

A hub of activity, creativity, and caffeine fuelled ideas, Drift-In offers a relaxed and endearing atmosphere in which to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the every day.

A perfect meeting place for friends and colleagues as well as the whole family (even the dog).

Our menu and food offering may change from location to location, however our vision remains the same and underpins everything we do.

With simplicity, and a little bit of love.

Most importantly Our customers are our friends.

A great place for breakfast! We called in twice! Inside is spacious with a modern/rustic feel. The food is eye catching and tastes really fresh. We tried the topped toast and pancakes. If I were to go back I'd love to try the homemade beans and French toast as both looked amazing as they past our table.

A really yummy breakfast at The Drift-In York. Delicious thick cut sourdough toast with avocado, feta & pomegranate and a very generous portion at that. My son had the Biscoff/ Ice-cream pancakes. Again, generous and delicious and one of the nicest hot chocolates to date! Definitely worth a visit if you’re ever in York! 😋

Stopped here for brunch before exploring York, with my hubby and collie. We were greeted straight away and shown to a table. The waitress gave our dog some cuddles and asked for his name, age, etc. She then asked if she could take his picture for their "doggy wall of fame", which we seen on our way in and, of course, accepted. Their menu if really good; several options to drink and a wide variety of yummy sounding food! I order the french toast with bacon and my hubby went for the sausage sandwich - which was huge! The food was delish! Our only small gripe was the sandwich bread to sausage ratio was a bit questionable - huge thick sourdough bread with two thin sausages between the slices? Apart from that, we were really pleased we stopped by as the service was great, the food tasted amazing and they were so dog friendly!

Had a very nice breakfast. My order had to be tweaked due to a supply problem, but it was great. Went back for a second time and had a lovely meal.
