The Harrogate Tea Rooms

My wife and I have just had three lovely days in Harrogate. On each day we visited the tea rooms. Excellent cakes, scones, teas and coffee combined with old fashioned service All the cakes etc are home made In my view not to be missed if visiting this delightful town

Well we certainly would highly recommend The Harrogate Tea Rooms for a delicious and plentiful Afternoon Tea! It’s necessary to book in advance and we were required to pay a £10 per person deposit. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival and shown to our reserved table, where we were each asked for our choice of sandwich. I chose Coronation Chicken AMAZING! My husband chose cheese and chutney. YUM! The bread was super fresh, and the sandwiches were bursting with filling. We were also given cute dainty teacups containing coleslaw, plus a generous balsamic dressed salad. The fruit scones were really light and fluffy and we each had a little jar of jam and a generous serving of clotted cream. We were offered a fresh pot of tea after around 30 minutes. Our top tier contained a lovely selection of cakes, which we only managed to each eat one! The rest were kindly boxed up for us to take home. The staff were all very friendly and we will definitely return.

Delightful place in a beautiful old arcade. The owners were very friendly. Had the Yorkshire rarebit with a ginger beer was very tasty and served with a side salad, followed by the blueberry scone delicious would definitely recommend!

We were visiting for the day and thought we might try this place as the arcade looked nice. The cafe was very quiet (when everywhere in Harrogate was busy) which tells a story. Friendly hosts, nice and clean although limited offerings. My scone was meant to be blueberry but 1/2 a blueberry in a whole scone seems a little mean. The price however is the most disappointing. 8.70 for a scone, butter and a pot of tea is excessive. Not even leaf tea just tea bags although it was nice. My friend had the jam and cream and it was well over 12.00. Too much and really indicates why this cafe is quiet.

I absolutely adore this restaurant! If you're considering going, please do! The setting is in a charming Victorian-style building with plenty of tables. It was quiet when we arrived, allowing us to relax. We had prebooked Afternoon Tea to celebrate my mom's birthday, and it was fantastic; absolutely delicious and well worth the cost! The sandwiches were fresh and tasty, along with everything else. We were so full that we had to take the cakes to go! The gentleman who took care of us (apologies for not getting your name) was incredibly attentive, engaging us in conversation and even going above and beyond with a birthday candle and song! It was everything we could have asked for and more. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone and I will definitely be returning!
