Abbey Cafe

slow saturday mornings in selby have a particular kind of quiet, and micklegate is a good place to spend them. abbey cafe sits at number 46, the kind of address that regulars know without having to look up. the people who come here keep coming back, which says more about the place than any single visit could. you don't need a reason beyond wanting somewhere that takes the coffee seriously and doesn't rush you out the door. it's independently run, which means the priorities tend to be different, and in this case that shows. weekday mornings work well here too, a cortado before the rest of selby gets going, standing or sitting, either way unhurried.
