Betty's Tea Rooms & Cafe in Harrogate

Just as we expected, a busy tea room steeped in fabulous history. Champagne was lovely and so many goodies to enjoy.A definite tick on the bucket list 👌

My second time here, it was so nice. The food, the service and the whole atmosphere. I love the fact even though there's a long queue they'd never rush you out. You get to peacefully enjoy your afternoon tea. Recommend!

It is one of the most popular tea rooms in the world for some reasons - Betty’s menu, service and quality is excellent!! Great traditional afternoon tea with amazing quality cakes and scone, while also a vast menu of breakfast and mains to please everyone. Really recommend as a family experience!

Went to Harrogate for the first time and was told by everyone to visit Betty’s. Lived up to the hype, was busy but the queue moves very quick and the staff, especially the lady who served us in the lower dining room, was amazing, recommending what to eat for breakfast and had a great sense of humour. Great food and drinks too

Bettys was a lovely experience. It's well decorated with a lovely ambience (picture how the Titanic tea room would have looked) and fantastic customer service!The queues can be long, but they move at a steady pace. Once inside, it's actually spacious with 3 floors and not crowded as you'd imagine. You can actually have a conversation and hear one another!The prices don't break the bank either, and the most expensive coffee was around £8 or so, which is not much more than a high street coffee chain.The only criticism that we have sadly is with the food we ordered. The pan-fried salmon salad dish was cooked with orange slices, and they really did not go together at all, therefore left most of it.Also, the soup of the day (mushroom) could have been better presented. I know it's soup, but still, a deeper bowl with some garnish would have made a huge difference. It looked like a bowl of weetabix and tasted okay.However, I would still not mark this place down, due to the overall experience and customer service, which made up for everything. The coffee and cakes were amazing!

Everything you have heard is true... It is wonderful.The food is great, the service super and the ambience unique.It is egalitarian in that everyone queues, and that is super as it means first come first serve. And the food offering is fresh, well cooked and presented.It is fair and reasonable in price and is a great experience.I loved it

Excellent quality and excellent staff. I wouldn't say it was cheap but you pay for what you get. No mater how good the product the service in such an establishment is what makes or breaks it and the staff here are excellent. Nothing seems to much trouble. Service is swift and efficient. There are a number of tea room's, cafes, restaurants, bars and pubs all looking for staff and Betty's doesn't seem to be one of them. I hope this indicates a good employer.

An experience if in Harrogate area. Had a lovely family afternoon tea here. The service was amazing. Scones and sandwiches were awesome, the cakes were just a little too rich for me.I’d recommend visiting the shop afterwards too!

Reroute to purposely try this much recommended, and much in demand tea room for the 'original' afternoon tea. Luckily we didn't have to queue much, and ambience and service was great! But probably a little over-rated as food was more pretty than tasty, on the dry and sweet side.

Absolutely superb! Today we went for a lovely afternoon tea in the beautiful imperial room. The interior is absolutely stunning and feels calm. Our server Megan was amazing - so bubbly, efficient and personable! Anne was also lovely and charming. We were serenaded by a live piano - the pianist playing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" at our request was very special. All the workers were incredibly friendly and attentive making us feel very welcome. There are so many unique and diverse teas to choose from, and the food is delicious. I will definitely be planning another visit!
