Quick info
About The Blossom Cafe
The Blossom Cafe is a family-run greasy-spoon cafe at 2 Odeon in York city centre, built around a 76-item menu that starts with breakfast. The full English brings bacon, egg, sausage, mushrooms, beans and tomatoes on one plate. The vegan cooked breakfast gives plant-based diners their own version of the same cooked meal, so a mixed group can order together. A bacon sarnie is also on the menu for anyone who wants their bacon between bread. Orders are placed with the staff at the counter.

Customer Review Summary
The full breakfast is what most reviewers come for, and opinions on it split. Several praise a piping hot, quick-to-arrive cooked breakfast, with one calling the bacon, egg and mushroom sandwich beautiful and another rating the vegan cooked breakfast as the best they have had in England. Hash browns get singled out as good even by those less impressed, and the large portion comes up more than once. The complaints are specific. One reviewer found the full breakfast greasy, saying the sausage and mushroom were deep fried and rewarmed while the beans and tomatoes came from the microwave. Another found the beans not tasty, the mushrooms not soft, the eggs not done nicely and the coffee watery, and a third was let down by the sausages, toast, beans and tomatoes. The latte is called nice by one reviewer. Staff are described again and again as warm, friendly and smiling, with counter staff checking on tables, and reviewers describe a family run place with regulars and steady online orders. One reviewer notes there are no public toilets, and another wished it had been open on a Sunday.

“This is a proper English cafe. Always struggle to find a good bacon egg and mushroom breakfast sandwich and it was beautiful. Could imagine the full English is bang on. The menu had everything I want from a cafe. Lovely service with a smile which makes a difference. A good start to the day. Good prices. Thank you”

“Lovely family run cafe and one of the last affordable greasy-spoon breakfast spots around York City Centre. When you just want a bacon sarnie or a Full English without paying £20 for smashed avocado or eggs benedict, this is the place.”
