What a fabulous little restaurant in downtown York. The food is yummy, prices are fair and I love the atmosphere. This is mainly a breakfast and lunch place but on the first and third Fridays they have special menu dinner nights. The restaurant also has coffee and teas as well as some artsy gift items. There’s an outside area for good weather and such a cozy inside. They are also gluten free friendly. Parking is along the street but we didn’t have any problem finding a space with no parallel parking needed.

Sunday. First time customer. Had the Plantiful Breakfast Stack all plant based sausage, cheese and egg. Added vegan mayo for upcharge. Girl at register had to ask if they had vegan mayo, it’s clearly noted on website. Never got a receipt what happened to that Waited 30 mins for our food. Sat on first level in front of counter gets crowded and cramped quickly. Not far from Hanover but wish it was closer.

Food is good. Service is good and I enjoy the atmosphere very much. Anyone who comes in town to visit, I make sure they get a chance to try Gather 256.

Spacious, traditional coffeehouse owned and operated by an actual chef. Everyone and everything is top notch every single time. Don’t sleep on … the roasted veggie panini, the ramen, the plentiful breakfast sandwich, the shrimp and grits (when available). Local art. Cool gifts. Plenty of space to work or just read a book.

Gather 256 is so much more than a cafe. It is a community hub, a meeting place, a third space for all of York. In addition to wonderful food (with plenty of gluten-free and vegan options), they make the best latte in town, hands down.
There is a second floor that boasts a corner kids’ play space, large tables for meetings and other little cozy nooks to work. During the warmer weather, there’s an outdoor terrace with a sandpit for the kids.
What’s more is that the space is always full of inspiring artwork. If you need a gift, it’s a great place to stop — earrings, pottery, wall art, books. There is even a pay-it-forward wall to donate meals and a little plant propagating area to share plants. How cute is that? They host third Fridays with programming, book clubs and more.
Gather 256 reminds me of the coffee houses of my teenage years — homey, comfortable, welcoming, a place to work when you need to be alone, a space to connect when you need a friend. We are so lucky to have it here in York!
It is definitely the best coffee shop in town.

FIVE STARS ALL AROUND!!!!
This place is an experience!
The food was fantastic, the staff was amazing, and we loved admiring the artwork while we were here.
We LOVED the ironic breakfast sandwich! It was such a great combination, and the eggs just melt in your mouth! We also loved the bangin’ breakfast bowl with pork sausage! The chef TyNesha and the owner, Sarah, did an amazing job with our food, and we were sure to tell them how amazing it was.
Tyler made our coffee, and we especially loved the guava and cinnamon latte!! Sounds odd for coffee, but it was so good!!!!
Maddie, the owner’s daughter, was so sweet, extremely knowledgeable, and helpful, too.
Also, a sweet artist, Steph Holmes, has a studio upstairs where you can check out her artwork and chat with her about her art. Plus, there is a ton more art and seating upstairs.
And last, but not least, you can purchase artwork and all sorts of cute gifts that are sold here.

We recently tried Gather 256 for the first time and had a generally positive experience. The barista was friendly and courteous, and my Irish Cream latte was good. The food took a bit longer to arrive, but was good overall. That being said, the 3 cheese grilled cheese style sandwich could have used more cheese – the bread overpowered the filling. We also noticed that the seating area was mostly tables, and personally would have preferred a couch or more comfy seating. The café was clean, and I’d consider returning to try a different menu item.

I want to give a special shout-out to the wonderful staff member “Tamia” who overheard I was told the dining room was completely full and that there will be no place for me to sit and enjoy my latte and read my book. Despite that situation she kindly found a chair for me in the corner. Because of her genuine hospitality I was able to enjoy the rest of my morning. It’s rare to find such thoughtful service, and I’m so glad I got to stay and enjoy my book and my latte!
