Black Wheat Club is an independent bakery and bistro at 52 Fossgate in central York. Opened in 2025 by the team behind the Krep street food stall, it has developed from a daytime bakery and brunch destination into a restaurant and wine bar on selected evenings.
Bread and pastry work anchors the daytime offering, with sourdough, buns and baked treats prepared for both sit in visits and takeaway. Breakfast and brunch plates add a more substantial reason to stay, using seasonal combinations such as porridge with fruit and granola or savoury toppings on freshly baked bread.
The bistro side applies the same ingredient led approach to comfort food and small plates. Vegetarian cooking is treated as a central part of the menu rather than an afterthought, and recent dishes have paired pulled mushrooms or cauliflower with carefully chosen cheeses, pickles and house made accompaniments.
Coffee makes the room an easy daytime stop, while wine and house drinks shift the atmosphere towards dinner later in the week. With roughly 45 covers, an open bakery character and a focus on local sourcing, the venue remains intimate enough for a solo meal but lively enough for an evening with friends.
