Alma Cafe & Gifts

About

An independent cafe with a unique gift shop selling our designs! ALMA stands for Anna, Lisa, Max and Andres, a busy couple and the two kids. The logo is our cat – if that is not a family business you tell me! We wanted to build a café that we would love to enjoy. So we were very clear from the beginning in our intention to build something “hand made”. We want it to feel like a cool second home for the people that visit it. The place where you have your breakfast and read the papers, in your favourite corner… or maybe a treat with your partner on a sofa in a quiet basement. The floor of the shop was laid by a York company, the counter and interior were built by a York joiner and the front was painted by a York decorating firm. The coffee you will drink is roasted in York and Andres’ cards, posters and designs are printed by a company in York. All our fresh produces comes from York-based companies. Nothing comes from more than 20 miles away!
