@chocandcouk in The Groves is one of York’s friendliest little cafés, and it does so much good too. It’s a charity offering work and training to help people make a fresh start, so every hot chocolate and slice of cake you enjoy makes a real difference. They were kind enough to host our @indieyork social this week, and gave us such a warm welcome. 

Expect daily hot chocolate specials, light brunches and lunches, and homemade cakes that families will love. The coffee is excellent, too. You can even pay it forward by buying a drink or meal for someone in need. This place is a labour of love that’s doing amazing things - we can’t recommend it highly enough. 

📍 4 Mansfield House, Lowther Street, York YO31 7NB
🗓 Tues to Fri 8:30am to 3pm (4pm Thurs), Sat 9:30am to 2:30pm
ℹ️ Closed Sundays and Mondays
