Sketch at York Art Gallery is the latest venture by Maria Rodriguez and Philip Veal who established Origin in 2017 to rave reviews.

Café open 10.30am-3.30pm Wednesday-Sunday*

*Please note Sketch Café is currently closed and will reopen on Wednesday 14 January 2026. 

Serving a unique blend of freshly prepared food and great coffee, Sketch café gives you the perfect start or end to your visit. All produce is seasonal, sourced locally and prepared fresh on the day.

Our outdoor seating area (on the nicer days) overlooks the beautiful fountain to the front of the Gallery on Exhibition Square. Glance up to see York Theatre Royal, Petergate and the adjoining City Walls, and, of course, the magnificent York Minster.
