WE asked you - the readers of The Press - to nominate your favourite café and you didn’t disappoint.

Following our competitions to find York’s best chippy and the best takeaway, we wanted you to tell us where the best café is in and around the city.

Thousands of votes were cast and in the end we have a worthy winner.

The Fika Room in Market Place, Easingwold, received 249 votes from those collected both in the café and ones which we received by post.

Owners, husband and wife Ismet and Cicek Akgul, say they are delighted to have won the competition.

Ismet, who opened seven months ago, said: "I think people voted for us because our coffee is really good and they come from a distance away to drink here.

"It's fantastic to know that people think we're the best in the area."

The café is open 9.30am-5pm seven days a week serving cakes, drinks, sandwiches and snacks.
