We actually ate lunch twice here because the service was friendly, the food was great and reasonably priced and since they were one short block off the water it was less crowded.

During our stay in Russell we always went to this little cafe to have breakfast. Any eggs and toast any coffee. Nice people.

We came here for breakfast because we saw they opened a bit earlier than other places in Russel. The servers were extremely nice, the place is clean and cute - menu is fine. I found the coffee to be weak but I think I was...not up on NZ coffee lingo yet. We ordered a lot of food (we thought) because we like a big breakfast. It took a very long time and the portions were tiny. My husband thought his pancakes were underdone - they looked like the frozen Eggo microwaveable variety to me. I would give them another try if I lived there - everyone was so nice.More

Looking for breakfast on a Saturday morning, we were fortunate to discover York St Cafe in the delightful town of Russell. The good weather meant we were able to sit outdoors and enjoy a superb breakfast of French Toast with fresh fruit. The coffee was...excellent and it was obvious that many locals were there - always a good sign.More

Found a fabulous little cafe in Russell, hidden away in a back street - more signage need folks. Very friendly staff, great selection of food & fabulous coffee. Would certainly recommend.

Good location and service but found the coffee a bit flavourless and weak. In hindsight should have requested an extra shot but didn't know at the time.

This is a lovely cafe. The service was excellent and the food delicious. My friend had the small salad consisting of tomatoes, onions, English spinach and feta with a delicious dressing. Very simple, satisfying and delicious. I ordered the Italian muffin which was also very...nice.More
