Rowntree Park is a very popular family-friendly cafe, overlooking one of York’s most delightful parks. Shelves packed with children’s books, children’s options on the menu, plenty of seating indoors and out and baby changing facilities all make it an easy place to visit with children. It’s also a stone’s throw from the play areas, lake, tennis courts, skate park, basketball court and even the river Ouse if you’d like a walk by the water.
