This place is truly is a welcome addition to Short Sands. The staff are friendly the place is cute both inside and out. I love the York chart coffee cups. Prices are reasonable and to boot they take the heavy lifting out of the equation because they go to Congdons Donuts so you don’t have to. Been going repeatedly over the last two years and glad to see the offering and service has remained top notch. Recommend highly!

Great little cafe in the short sands area of York. Their breakfast food and beverages selections are delicious. There are pieces from local artists on display and for sale within the cafe and making this a unique atmosphere just off the beach. The service is super friendly too!

Super cute coffee place with friendly, welcoming staff. The cold brew is great! Assisted baked goods vary everyday, but stove early to get best selection. They also have a cute gifts section, with a variety of things for all ages. Highly recommend stopping to get your day started on the right foot.

I love this cute little place with delicious breakfast sandwiches and espresso drinks. They also have Congdons donuts which can sell out on a busy Sunday morning even in November. The shop has many items for sale from notebooks and cards to hats and beach blankets. It's such a great place with new outdoor seating for the colder weather. You must go.

I was so struck with this establishment. The women were so helpful and kind ! My son and his friend wanted to hang out at shorts sands and I had calls to make and clients to reach out to ! The outdoor yard was perfect for that ! You would never know you were even on the corner of the York animal kingdom , it Was shady and the coffee was excellent and the flowers were beautiful!

Did the fritters, one blueberry, one raspberry, and a toasted sesame bagel this time. All fresh and tasty. Just the right pairing with two cappuccinos done proper. Constant line tells you the locals and weekenders like it.
