Much loved horse box cafe, The Dark Horse Espresso Bar, now has a brick-and-mortar cafe on York's popular Bishy Road. Serving breakfast favourites, tasty pastries and excellent coffee, it's a welcoming place to stop for a drink or something more. Children are warmly welcomed, and there's a terrace outside if the weather's good enough. It's just two minutes from the river and Rowntree Park if you just want a takeaway to enjoy while you stroll.
