Walmgate Bar gatehouse in York

Walmgate Bar, York

Coffee with a sense of place.

A pause for coffee, light bites and good company inside one of York's historic spaces.

Inside the gate

A room made for lingering.

Gatehouse Coffee sits within York's historic Walmgate Bar. The stone walls, leaded windows and warm, informal seating make it a distinctive stop for a drink or a light bite.

Alongside coffee, the counter offers loose leaf tea, cold drinks, toasted bagels, cakes and other treats. Drop in for a quick cup or settle in for a slower pause.

The board at the counter lists the current choice and prices, from espresso-based coffee and loose leaf tea to cold drinks and small bites. It keeps each visit simple, whether you are stopping briefly or sitting for a while.

The space

Stone, timber, daylight.

Set inside Walmgate Bar, Gatehouse Coffee brings together a centuries-old setting with a relaxed everyday rhythm.

Exposed timber, leather seating and the glow of small lights soften the old stonework, creating an easy setting for coffee, tea or something from the counter. There is room to make a quick stop feel unhurried.
