UK Coffee Week launched in North Yorkshire
A number of coffee shops and cafes in our area will take part in the initiative.
It's UK Coffee Week this week!
The week-long charity initiative aims to provide clean water and sanitation for coffee growing communities.
Shops will raise valuable funds for Project Waterfall in a number of ways - from donating 5p per coffee sold to organising a town coffee crawl!
There are a number of coffee shops and cafes in our area who will be taking part...
Bison Coffee House
Bison Coffee House is a combined coffee shop and vintage store on Heslington Road, just outside of York city centre. The cafe is cosy, with a vintage, earthy design. Other than coffee and vintage items, they have a very eccentric menu...having previously served the ‘flat avocado’ hot drink and key lime brownies!
The Central Coffee House
On Northallerton’s High Street is The Central Coffee House, offering a delicious afternoon tea of sandwiches, hot drinks, scones and a variety of cakes for less than £10 per person. The shop is known for being busy, but in a good way, as it creates a vibrant atmosphere! Reviews praise the staff for being helpful and cheery.
The Balloon Tree Farm Shop
Located in a farm on Stamford Bridge Road, The Balloon Tree Farm Shop offers award winning homemade cakes and seasonal dishes. The cakes are baked on-site by Simon and his team and blankets are provided if you want to sit outside and take in the views. You can also visit the animals and pick your own fruit and vegetables!
The Pig and Pastry
The Pig and Pastry cafe describe themselves as “dysfunctional family run, neighbourhood cafe’’ on Bishopthorpe Road in York. BBC Good Food Magazine has praised it as one of the best places to eat in York, amongst other positive media. As well as cooking all kinds scrumptious food, the cafe also sell their cookbook to raise money for charity.
The Black Mulberry
If you walk down the waterside from Knaresborough town, you will find The Black Mulberry! This cafe offers a selection of tasty food and drinks with a beautiful waterside view. The name comes from the Black Mulberry it sits next to, which was reportedly planted during the reign of King James I, making it over 400 years old.
