Kawa House has long been a favourite for slow mornings, strong coffees, and freshly baked treats. But now, there’s even more reason to visit, especially if you love great food, good wine, and locally sourced produce.
Kawa House now serves a new selection of plates and they’re every bit as thoughtful and flavourful as you’d expect. The new menu is rooted in seasonality and simplicity, with ingredients sourced from some of Yorkshire’s best local producers. It’s food designed for sharing (or not, we won’t judge), each plate crafted with balance and depth in mind.


Whether you’re popping in for a couple of bites or settling in for a relaxed evening with friends, the new offering is perfectly pitched.
Kawa’s love of local extends far beyond the kitchen. Every wine on the menu is sourced through York Wines, an independent local wine merchant known for championing small, sustainable producers from across Europe and beyond.
Whether you’re a white wine person or prefer a juicy red, the team will help you find your perfect pour and every bottle is chosen with the food in mind. This is a proper pairing, without the fuss.
In even better news, Kawa House has extended its opening hours. That means more time to sip, snack, and soak up the cosy, candlelit atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can meet for an early glass of wine and end up staying for a full spread.
Kawa House has always been a space that champions local and seasonal produce. The new menu and wine list are a natural extension of that ethos. Unpretentious, elegant, and deeply rooted in York’s independent spirit.
So if you haven’t stopped by recently, now’s the perfect time. Whether you’re popping in for a light lunch or planning a full evening of wine and sharing plates, Kawa House is ready to welcome you in.
