Wonderful cafe recently discovered. Delicious and substantial breakfast sandwiches which keep you going for the day. Lovely friendly meeting each time I've been in and you can tell from other customers' reactions that they love going there, for the food, coffee, and chat.

My wife and I went for breakfast this morning. Fantastic friendly service by Jasmine. Very reasonably priced and decent portions. My full English was amazing! My wife highly recommends the mushrooms. We will be visiting again very soon!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strensall Coffee House isn’t just a café—it’s a masterpiece! (And I should know—I had the absolute pleasure of designing their branding, and let me tell you, the only thing that outshines my graphics is their food!) From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted like family by the sensational Hazal and her team, who somehow manage to juggle top-tier service with the warmest smiles in Yorkshire. The coffee? Absolute perfection. The food? So good it should be illegal. Whether you’re after a hearty breakfast, a next-level sandwich, or a slice of cake that’ll ruin all other desserts for you, this place delivers every single time. If you haven’t been yet, go. If you’ve been before, go again. If you’re there right now, order me something and I’ll be over in five! 10/10. Would happily redesign their menus forever just for another bite.

We love eating at Strensall Coffee House and we were there again yesterday. The food is fabulous, the coffee is fabulous, the milkshakes are fabulous....and the vegetable soup is off the scale perfectly divine. Hazal and her colleagues deliver consistently outstanding customer service and they work exceptionally hard. Well done Hazal for delivering your dream cafe. You have totally delivered and we are very lucky to have the cafe in the village. From the occasional Saturday soup lovers
