About

Coffee, light meals and occasional vegan lemon-and-pistachio cake are served inside a 14th-century toll tower beneath Lendal Bridge, with seating in a timber-ceilinged room, a dungeon and by the River Ouse. It’s a small, casual stop for coffee or a snack; access involves steps, and there are no toilets on site.
