We've been back again today 1st Feb 25!! 5 of us with a booth style table, excellent meal and the staff are so attentive & friendly... See my original review below Tried for the first time, and found this place is a new favourite, the queue outside waiting to go in speaks volumes. This was well worth the short wait of approx 15 mins to be seated. Situated in a lovely location, just a short walk to the town centre, convenient carpark nearby. The staff were all so friendly, bubbly and serving with a smile, very attentive. There is lots of choice on the menu, but all 3 of us were taken in by the pancake stack. My daughter ordered the pancakes Berry Compote, Maple Syrup & Creme Fraiche pancakes 'Full Stack' which consists of 3 pancakes, layered with creme Fraiche, maple syrup and lots of delicious fruity berry Compote. My husband and I ordered the Streaky Bacon, Maple Salted Butter and Maple Syrup pancakes, these were so tasty, the salted butter was devine. We also ordered a bowl of hash brown clusters as a share. All washed down with Americano coffee. Well what can I say, this place is the bee's knees. I highly recommend. The servers were fantastic. Well done

Very very good food. It’s worthy queuing for it, even in the rain and the Storm Darragh. I like their homemade Hash Brown, it’s special and delicious. The bread is amazing too. The staff is so nice and friendly. I will say it’s the best restaurant/cafe in York for breakfast and brunch. Sorry, I don’t think they offer Full English breakfast.

Fantastic - well worth the short wait. The menu here was great and each and every dish was so tasty - portions are huge too! The halloumi fries and mini hash browns were seriously good. The service here was also amazing, some of the friendliest and speediest we had on our trip to York. Will be revisiting Robinsons if ever back in York!

We went on a Sunday morning and arrived just after opening. There was already a queue forming but as we were happy to sit outside, we were seated straight away. We both ordered the pancakes which were delicious. The tea was loose leaf (perfect!) and they even preheated the tea cup prior to serving. We will absolutely be back another day to try out the rest of the menu!

Really good quality food. The only cafe in York that I'll keep going back to. There's always a queue but I never had to wait longer than 10 minutes.

Portions are generous, service friendly and food delicious. People were queuing out the door at Friday lunch time so we came back later in the day and managed to get a seat at the bar. We watched the kitchen at work while we ate and it’s clear they take a lot of pride in their food.

What can I say? Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, incredible food with an exciting menu and huge portions and a reasonable price.Felt safe ordering GF food as staff very knowledgeable about cross contamination and there is a dedicated gluten free fryer and a separate gluten free menu. We ended up eating there three times during our stay in York and we will DEFINITELY be back!
