The Harrogate Tea Rooms in Harrogate

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.

Absolutely love this place! If you’re thinking of going, please do! Set in a quaint, Victorian style building, a lovely space with plenty of tables! It was quiet when we got there which was great for us to relax. We prebooked Afternoon Tea to celebrate my mums birthday, the whole Afternoon Tea was amazing; so yummy and well worth the money! Sandwiches were fresh and delicious and so was everything else. We had to take away the cakes as we were so full! The gentleman who looked after us (sorry I didn’t get your name) was so caring, involving us in conversation and they even went the extra mile with a birthday candle and song! Everything we could have wanted and more! All in all, I would recommend to everyone - I will be back!

Enjoyed fresh baked scones and cakes in a peaceful and dog friendly upstairs cafe. Ask for extra strong coffee - it's delicious

A delicious afternoon tea was delivered at our request. All freshly made sandwiches and cakes along with the best scones in harrogate! Highly recommended. Please support this local independent business during lockdown. We will be hotfooting it to the tea room when they are able to re-open.

We had a lovely visit to the tea rooms. The sandwiches was so fresh and tasty and the surroundings are really pleasant. Will return

I visited here under their new offer- £10 to ‘hire’ a table for three hours. This includes tea/coffee, WiFi, a plug socket and brunch. Bargain! The food is great (lots of gf options too). Lovely staff, lovely food, lovely location. I definitely recommend.

Stumbled across this little tea room today after trying to find somewhere nice to have lunch which wasn't crowded or had a long queue outside.The service was brilliant, staff are so friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious ( parsnip and ginger soup with a sandwich / coronation chicken jacket )We went for a speciality tea (rhubarb and cream black tea).Lovely setting and away from the hustle and bustle. Thank you for a lovely lunch!

Popped in here for a sweet treat and were not disappointed. We had delicious home made scones with jam and cream. All served by a lovely gentleman, who made us feel so welcome. One of our trips highlights. Highly recommend

My daughter and i visited today 15th September for my birthday, absolutely gorgeous afternoon tea for two!! from start to finish was perfect, the food was delicious!! so fresh and the scones are amazing... the lady that served us was lovely too, lovely little place in Harrogate 10/10 for service and food!! we will certainly be back again thank you :)

We found this little gem of a tea room via the website. We had a gorgeous afternoon tea served with care and prepared with loveNothing was too much problem and it's location under a glass roof makes it a joyful place to sit as if outside but protected from the elements

The que for Betty's eas at least 500 yards long so we gave up and found The Harrodate Tea Rooms. Very welcoming. Perfect service and magic teacakes!!

We enjoyed the tea rooms after a visit to Harrogate. We all had afternoon tea for lunch and would recommend that the cakes and sweets need a little less sugar as it literally drowned out the taste of everything else. The scone was the highlight and was more pleasant. Service was great and staff was very polite.

Fabulous food, fantastic friendly service. Would recommend the bacon and Brie sandwiches and the scones were delicious!!! We will be back on our next visit 👍🏻 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved my Blueberry & Vanilla scone! Just out of the oven .... beautiful! Best scone Ive ever tasted! A +++++++So glad we visited here. Was recommended by our YorTours guide Nick. My partners breakfast was lovely and tasty and the tea - Rhubard & Cream flavour is simply gorgeous! Tucked away tea room. Don't queue for Bettys, visit here you won't be disappointed!

This place was recommended to us by our tour guide and we are so glad we took his advice!We thought about going to Betty's cafe but on our last visit in York felt very underwhelmed.What a hidden gem this tea room is! Freshly made scones, cakes and my breakfast was excellent. I also tried the Rhubarb and cream flavoured tea .... fantastic. We bought 2 pouches. I would highly recommend this tea room. We will definitely visit again. Extremely friendly service - makes you want to go back!

Enjoyed a a cracking lunch with a brilliant - and well proportioned - scone, with the family earlier today. Tasty coffee, excellent soup (with warmed, crusted roll - thank you) too. We’d definitely recommend - a little of the beaten Harrogate path, and a long remove from the absurd queues elsewhere, and so much better for it

End of a day out in Harrogate and you need a cuppa tea before setting out home, you do, you know you do. So what do you do? Well, you can wander round to Betty’s (famous, grand place I know) and join a queue which most likely will be near to or round the corner, or go looking for alternative tea shops. We saw the Harrogate Tea Rooms sign as we passed the arcade (and as it was one of those British summer days, sun, wind, shower, downpour all in the space of 30 minutes we thought “at least if there’s a queue it’s inside.” and went to have a look.The arcade was practically empty - it was time for heading home after all - when we arrived at the Tea Room. The owner told us they were still open and showed us to a table, took contact details for COVID-19 and gave us menus, he told us there were scones and a range of cakes available. After our “exertions” we decided we could share a scone (sultana and vanilla, with fresh cream and jam) plus Yorkshire tea for two, and a ginger beer for the other member of our party.Service was quick and friendly. The ginger beer as expected, the tea a fine brew and a good quantity, and the scone was heavenly. We were set up for the journey home.We looked at the boards listing items from the lunch menu, scones etc and all had prices clearly displayed. The soup and sandwich option looked pretty tempting for another visit.

Delicious soup, great sandwiches. The scones were amazing! Got proper clotted cream, too. Service also very efficient and friendly, even though we were there during a busy lunchtime.

My wife and I fell on this little cafe on the top floor of an arcade and asked for two bacon and egg sandwiches along with two coffees. Both were excellent and the service friendly however the charge was £20.40p! Even Manchester Airport charge less than that.It was only on leaving that we noticed that no prices were shown either on the blackboard menu or on any other form of notice so one wonders if the pricing is dependant on your point of origin. Tourists beware!

Carrie and Tony prepared and delivered Afternoon Tea for our outdoor picnic on Wednesday evening, our first WI Meeting since March.Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The quality and quantity if the food was first class.Thank you both for helping us celebrate in style!Starbeck Sirens WI

A very friendly greeting. Both staff members were smiley and easy to chat to about the local area. Food was fantastic and coffee great. Would definitely come back again if we are in the area!

Had lunch here yesterday, the atmosphere is so friendly (its a family enterprise), and the food was absolutely delicious.

Popped in for quick tea/coffee.Me on a diet not a fan of cakes but when mentioned blueberry and vanilla scone got my interest but just went a coffee it was great. But wife went for the scone - torture . They looked delicous and she told me they were amazing.Service was.great friendly fun and informative.High recommend.

Visited today and had delicious soup with gorgeous scone. Very pleasant owner served us and made sure we enjoyed our visit. Great value for money too

5 of us went for lunch & the paninis were superb. The scones were warm & gorgeous with jam & clotted cream. Complete with a lovely pot of tea that was just right. Lovely surroundings. We will go again next time we are in Harrogate. The lady serving us could not have been more helpful & friendly. Having been in lockdown for months, it was lovely to find such a brilliant place on our first meal out.

Visited by chance and so glad we did! There are very few, traditional home-cooked tea rooms in Harrogate surprisingly so we were very pleased when we came across this one.Both my girlfriend and I had a panini. Well-filled and perfectly served and then followed by one of the best scones I have had...fruit with vanilla! To absolutely to die for!Would recommend and revisit if ever in the are again!

*SUPPORT LOCAL* whilst wondering around Harrogate we stumbled upon this little gem tucked away in a shopping arcade. We decided to have a Yorkshire cream tea. The scones are amazing.... vanilla & sultana... baked that morning & still slightly warm in the middle ....served with jam & clotted cream...we even bought a couple to take home- I’ve not had scones that good for a very long time. .A huge pot of Yorkshire tea served in dainty porcelain cups with saucers. It was quaint & quirky. The owner was very friendly & suggested other places to visit locally as we were on holiday( which we did later on that afternoon- so thank you very much) this little café is an asset to Harrogate ... everyone needs to go & support local businesses ... now more than ever. Thank you so much for having us! If we are ever back in the area we will pop back in!

Called by this little cafe tucked nicely away from the outside world lovely tea and amazing scones if your visiting Harrogate this is a must visit for any couple.

Super location, very welcoming and great food. I try to go every weekend now. They’re also dog friendly, so whilst you tuck into the homemade scones, your dog can enjoy a Scooby snack!

We visited here on 29th February and we were not dissapointed. We had the afternoon tea for two. Excellent service & Food. We had Coronation Chicken & Cheddar Cheese with Chutney, two scone with Jam & clotted cream, and a pot of tea. £31 what a bargain. I would definitely recommend.

Walked past the more famous Betty's in search of somewhere quieter, as we just wanted a tea/coffee and a bun, and found this little place hidden away upstairs in an arcade off the main street.Welcomed with a smile and told to take a seat and they would take our order.My wife had a pot of the Stray afternoon tea whilst I had a Lazy Sunday cafetiere for one and we both had a homemade scone, topped with icing and a glace cherry. All of it was lovely and, as it was quiet, both the owner and the young man serving, had time for a friendly chat.So good, we finished off by ordering a slice each of the gin and lemon drizzle cake and the spiced Xmas tea loaf, which came with a piece of wensleydale cheese, as per the North Yorkshire custom to take back to our hotel for a treat later. Both homemade and, again, both absolutely delicious. Would truly recommend hunting this place down.

After visiting Harrogate a couple of years ago and telling my husband how good the food was in the Tea Rooms, we were delighted to find that they were open on a cold, wet and windy Sunday afternoon. We arrived late in the afternoon but were made to feel very welcome and certainly weren't rushed. The cakes are delicious. The lemon and gin drizzle cake was a definite hit with my husband who said he could definitely taste the gin and I love fruit cake served with Wensleydale cheese - such a taste of Yorkshire. The tea was good as well. We ought to come back to Harrogate more often.

I have called in on a number of occasions to this charming cafe. The peppermint tea made from fresh With this nnamon toast. It was to die for. The service here is quick and friendly. High quality fresh food prepared to order. I called in today and had a coffee and a sultana scone. The coffee was hot and delicious and the scone was warm and just fell apart. I am sure the scones must be the best in Yorkshire.Ok you dont get waitresses in frilly caps and aprons as in the posh place up the road (I am not sure they would suit the owner of the cafe anyway) but you also dont have to wait for hours in the wind and rain. It's very cosy and the welcome is warm.

We stopped by on the strength of other TripAdvisor reviews. Between us we had soup with half a sandwich, a panini, tea and coffee. The soup was lovely - clearly home made - and the quality of the ham and cheese in the panini was very good, but the food was rather expensive (our bill came to £25). The service from the gentleman was very good but the two young lasses who served us was pretty poor: one delivered the plate sand left mine half on and half off the rather small table rather than move their clutter of menus/condiments, etc to make room for it. The other girl brought our cutlery and just plonked it all down in a pile. I'm sorry to say I wouldn't return: there's far too much choice in Harrogate.

Had a lovely cosy lunch. We were well looked after and were not rushed through our lunch, and were made to feel very welcome. Thank you

On a horrible wet day we avoided the queues for the posh place across the road and took a detour into the Westminster Arcade for the Harrogate tea rooms. We weren’t disappointed. The surroundings are delightful and the service equally so. Quite simply the best scones you will find in town. No idea why people queue for hours in the rain when this place is right across the road. Do yourself a favour; when visiting Harrogate make sure this place is on your list!

Popped in today for mid-morning tea and cake. Proper leaf tea and vintage cups & saucers. Delicious and generous slice of coffee cake. Freshly baked scone, just out of the oven. Jolly good!

We booked ahead as we were visiting Harrogate to use the Turkish Baths just across the road from the tea rooms.

Some of the most unusual and tasty scones we have ever eaten, very nice polite service as well, recommended.

Friendly helpful staff and excellent service. Tasty food, love the cinnamon toast. A hidden treasure here in Harrogate We will be back

Me and my family visited harrogate the other day and stumbled across Harrogate’s best hidden gem in the beautiful Victorian Westminster Arcade. Not only were the staff so welcoming, but the speciality scones were to die for and the best I’ve ever had. I had the blueberry and vanilla and my family had the fresh sultana scones That were just out of the oven. A must visit for anyone going into harrogate, you won’t be disappointed!

After following on Facebook for about 6 months we finally went on a day trip to Harrogate just to try the scones .....and so glad we did, absolutely gorgeous

Well worth walking down the hill from the overrated overpriced famous tearoom... to go back in time in the extremely well restored Westminster Arcade. Lovely welcome and good food and drinks.

Been a few times to this hidden away tea room. Large pot of tea and a delicious home cured ham sandwich with homemade coleslaw (none of that vinegar infused rubbish that so many serve). The staff are always lovely....and unlike a well known cafe further up the hill, you don't have to queue for hours to get in. Thanks

Well I’m ashamed to say I had my first scone with clotted cream and jam today after living in Harrogate for two years! I’m pleased to say I had it here at the Harrogate Tea Room . I tried the strawberry, blueberry and vanilla option and of course it was delicious. Even managed to tempt my friend Sarahann from Sarahann’s Jewelers to try this flavor as well. Both of these fine places are located inside the Westminster Arcade on Parliament in town. And here’s a little secret for the young ladies... you would have had a glance at one on their handsome sons helping out today. If you haven’t visited you truly don’t know what you’re missing.

Not my first visit, but rounded a group of newbies to have tea and cakes in these fabulous tea rooms. Often described as a "hidden gem" because that's what it is. Let's all spread the word of the qualities that lie within. Keep this independent going.

Myself and my girlfriend frequent this wonderful cafe on the Sundays that she is in Harrogate and I’ve even started bringing friends too! The cafe is such a hidden gem with a fabulous array of choice on the menu.

Called here on a mini break to Harrogate, after reading great reviews. It didn't disappoint. A warm welcome from a gentleman who seated us, chatted & took our order after telling us the cake choices and special offers.

I am currently sat in the harrogate tea rooms after having a beautiful lunch. Their home made quiche and home made coleslaw was absolutely beautiful followed by the softest tangiest lemon drizzle cake I have ever tasted!! all washed down with a pot of Yorkshire tea. This place is an absolute gem. I will definitely be recommending and returning! thankyou so much for the lovely welcome and service .

Such a lovely cafe- we love this place and the carrot cake is divine! Westminster Arcade is a must see in Harrogate

Wandering around Harrogate came across the Tea Rooms for a quick afternoon cup of tea/cream tea and a piece of the mist fab Bakewell Tart. Very friendly service, a nice cup of tea served in pretty china cups and all was very good value. Really pleased to have stumbled across this gem of a place.

Apologies for being so late with our review!We had a fabulous time spending our daughter's 8th birthday with family at the tea rooms. Nothing was too much trouble, between helping my partner's relatives come up in the lift or making sure the handmade cake had Skittles and Haribo! The food was delicious, the afternoon tea was divine! We will be sure to visit on our next trip down from Glasgow, our go to place now!

Absolutely brilliant food excellant quiche amazizing also coffee cake no small portions here brilliant staff lovley when in Harrogate next will definitely revisit highly recommend

We had a great day today after our life drawing session, we strolled over to the tea rooms and were seated streight away after booking several months earlier !

This lovely little cafe, hidden away upstairs in the Westminster Arcade right opposite the Turkish Baths, is a real find and well worth a visit. Everything is home-made and delicious and the choice is varied. The strawberry and vanilla scones are delicious and a decent size. We were told that there are always different flavours of scone to choose from. Both sweet and savoury choices are varied.

Really lovely wee cafe in an old shopping arcades. We visited as part of a hen party (hadnt pre warned them!) and they were v accommodating finding a table for all of us. The scones were baked fresh, still warm and so delicious (red Berry and Yorkshire tea were the flavours of the day) ! They had an extensive tea menu with a great range of flavoured black teas (I'm always disappointed in other places when the delicious sounding flavoured teas turn out up be herbal tisanes etc). Very friendly staff and dog friendly as a bonus!

I arrived first thing just as the scones came out of the oven. Vanilla and sultanas was the pick... yeah they were so divine with butter I had a second one! I regret nothing! I am so full now! I even convinced the lady sitting across from me to get one! such a perfect start to my day! Can’t even show a great photo of the food the scones were that good!

On a wet, miserable, cold morning the hot chocolate and Bakewell tart were delicious. A warm, friendly service with a wide range of homemade dishes and cakes. So much better value and quality than the numerous chains in Harrogate.

Visited The Harrogate Tea Rooms as our first stop on the Yorkshire Appetite Afternoon Tea Tour - what a fantastic place! It’s up on the top floor in a beautiful historic arcade and serves a range of delicious scones, cakes and other goodies. We tried out their own blended Speciality Teas - I had Rhubarb and cream tea which was absolutely delicious and the pot gives a generous two or three cups - served in delicate vintage china. The owner is very knowledgable about tea, the arcade and Harrogate and the service is lovely. I will definitely return on my next visit to Harrogate and support this interesting independent business.

Upstairs in the arcade is a wonderful place to stop for a super choice of teas, coffees, sandwiches and cakes. The food is freshly made and the cakes are home baked. The staff are very welcoming and service is good. The Tea Rooms caters for all food intolerances, asking for any special diets when taking the order. The owners are very knowledgeable about Harrogate and its surroundings . An altogether happy experience.

A range of leaf teas available and lovely moist tea bread. Lovely to chat to the owner about the town and other things Worth climbing the steps and don't forget to visit the book shop in the arcade

We were in Harrogate for a concert. We came to Harrogate a couple of years ago and found the Tea Rooms and decided to visit again. It did not disappoint. Excellent service with quality tea, coffee and cakes. So if you visit Harrogate forget about queuing at betties. This Tea Room is far superior. We will be back.

Last Sunday of half term and Harrogate was busy. Went upstairs in an arcade and found the delightful tea room. We sat in the arcade and had teas, coffees and pear with chocolate scones. Absolutely delightful and home made. Service was great and prices reasonable.

My family and I stumbled across the tea room- and are very glad we did! The waiter (who seemed to be a manager/owner) was very accommodating and friendly, thoroughly adding to our experience. We had tea and scones which were lovely- would definitely recommend.

Came across this little coffee shop on a Sunday morning stroll around Harrogate. We where looking for somewhere for a nice coffee with nice surroundings, Betty's would be the norm but fancied something different and not as pricey, seeing as its just a coffee !

What a fantastic place in a gorgeous arcade! Lived in Harrogate all my life and never been here. Had a raspberry ripple scone with tea and it was delicious! We had our two boys with us as well (age 1&3 ) and they were so looked after. Fantastic cakes and service!

This place is an absolute must when visiting Harrogate. We decided to avoid the bigger chain down the road and ‘support local’ and we were not disappointed. These were the best scones I have ever had. They change the offerings daily and we were lucky to have rhubarb and vanilla scones on offer, served with clotted cream and jam. The personal service was second to none, and we chose to sit “outside” the store with cosy chairs and blankets in a vintage style setting. Simply perfect and haven’t stopped recommending the place! Thank you.

Decided to support a local tea room tucked away in the gorgeous arcade.

I found this quintessential British Tea Room tucked away upstairs in the shopping arcade. It was wonderful not to be bustled into a tightly packed, stressful (or pretentious but serves tea and coffee) space as so many cafes are in Harrogate. The couple- owners/waiter/cook/baker were brilliant, very helpful, attentive, accommodating and modest. Had lunch followed by a scone (well half a scone and half a cake with my friend). Delicious! I’m very choosy about my scones as my Mum was an excellent scone baker and everyone used to think she had a secret trick. The Tea Room definitely has this trick!! Really enjoyed relaxing and lunching here and will definitely be going back.

Betty’s had been on my bucket list for years so I followed in my parents foot steps and went along. We booked a Lady Betty Christmas Afternoon Tea. Service and food excellent would I go back in a heart beat.

Beware the attraction of 'tearooms' in Harrogate. We attended this 'tearoom' on a cold November day and were rather disappointed to see that it was an adapted former shop in an aging arcade and spilled out into the public walkway. It was busy, so expected good quality food at reasonable prices. However, we were disappointed. Two scones, from a packet, with 'clotted cream', from a mass manufactured can, and poor quality at that. Soup from a can with a bread roll that would not have been out of place in a Lidl multipack. Three not inspiring coffees, total bill £27! The place was full of gullible tourists, like us. Thankfully, Tripadvisor is our comeback. As a chef, I am well aware of the price, the presentation of quality food and the costs of running a small business. This price is not £27 for bulk buy produce to serve to 'passing trade'. Take a look at yourselves at the Harrogate Tearooms, don't abuse your tourist trade, as we may stop coming altogether.

We popped in on Remembrance Sunday as everywhere I normally go was full. Delighted to find this place. We all had a cream tea, which featured home made scones which, frankly, beat Bettys hands down! I had a freshly made vanilla and cherry scone with proper clotted cream and raspberry jam. Tea was piping hot in a large pot. They were very busy and apologetic about the wait but we didn't mind. Friendly staff. I will return to further explore cake options.

This hidden treasure can be found off the main streets in Westminster Arcade. Wonderfully 'British' celebrating all what should be in and English tea room; amazing home made eats and teas, served with a smile, courtesy, friendliness and professionalism. A good old fashioned welcome awaits you!

Learned of this Tea room on FB and as we love to support a good independent decided to try it as we were visiting the Harrogate Christmas Markets. Only 2 empty tables when we arrived and some lovely looking cakes being enjoyed.

Visited this afternoon after reading a review online and so glad we did. Lovely food and drinks, first class service and wonderfulstaff. You MUST visit!

Came here when we saw the size the queue at Betties. Glad we did as the prices here were much more reasonable! It had a good choice of tea, sandwiches and cakes. But I enjoyed the cream scones the most, as they were freshly baked.

Had a lovely morning coffee and fresh scones here this morning. Have been a few times and always get a lovely welcome,super service and food. A hidden gem of a place.

Perfect Yorkshire Rabit for lunch with a slightly strong coffee ' just what was needed for a day trip to Harrogate . Very friendly and helpful staff who do a wonderful job in such a small kitchen .

I'd wanted to visit Harrogate for a long time and finally did so today.

Having seen the queue at Bettys, We looked for a place to sit and take refreshment. Westminster arcade had a sign advertising tea rooms, Perfect we thought. Problem. My good lady uses a mobility scooter for any distance. The tea room is on the second floor accessed only (I thought) by two lots of stairs. The scooter, being somewhat early dalek like, does not do stairs. I scouted out the location of said tearooms, determined that I would not be thwarted in my quest to quench my thirst. On explaining our predicament to the host of the establishment, He went out of his way to help us negotiate the antiquated, but functional goods lift. (The weight limit was in Hundredweights it was that early) Having settled our weary bones upon a comfortable chair we ordered two cream teas, (well, one cream coffee, but that's me being picky) Served quickly and efficiently. The scones were a delight to eat, the jam had real fruit in it and the cream was silky smooth. When we had sated our appetite, the whole process of reuniting ourselves with the 'mobility scooter who refused to do stairs', was repeated and we bid our farewell's to the gracious host. Thank you Dave and Julie.

Nice and clean first time but will go back again when in Harrogate, excellent choice of teas and cakes etc.

Lovely place to meet up with friends. Very tasty piece of rhubarb tea loaf with a slice of wensleydale cheese, excellent vegan lemon drizzle cake as described by my friend. Homemade and served in a cute and cosy setting.

We hear a lot about Betty’s of Harrogate but as they do not allow dogs, we were told about this place by a local. Friendly and quick service from Tony who made us feel really welcome.

Thought I made nice scones. Until today. Why do people queue for Betty's when this tea shop is just opposite , upstairs in Westminster arcade. Delicious cakes and the best scones I should think in the whole country, not just Yorkshire .

Stopped here when passing through Harrogate and fell in love with it. This independent tea room is small, quaint and serves excellent cake. The icing on said cake though, comes in the form of the mr and mrs running the show. Absolutely perfect. Highly recommended.

Stumbled across the team rooms by accident escaping the weather and what a gem! Lovely big pot of team and have to say the cherry bakewell cake is amongst the best cakes I've ever had - amazing. Service was also excellent.

I visited today with my mam and auntie. The owner was extremely helpful and friendly. They wanted to order scones but they had sold out. The owner then said he would bake some fresh. He made peach melba scones which they said were delicious. I will definitely be returning. A real gem.

I have only recently discovered this amazing tea room but I absolutely love it!!

The scones and rhubarb infused tea loaf we had were immense! So delicious, served with Yorkshire tea - and Wensleydale with the tea loaf of course.

A friend & I visited the Tea Rooms for the first time this morning. We enjoyed coffee and the most delicious Blackberry & Apple scones we have ever tasted! Freshly made, they were amazing! Extremely friendly couple who made us very welcome. This cafe is a bit hidden away in Westminster Arcade, but look out for it! We'll certainly be back, and highly recommend it!

I’ve now had the pleasure of visiting the gorgeous Tea Room twice. Both times I’ve been particularly struck by the warmth and kindness of the owners. Not to mention the cakes! Everything Home made and total care to detail. I can highly recommend the plum scones and my son loved the lemon drizzle cake.

A quaint yet stylish atmosphere at the top of Parliament Street's Westminster Arcade, The Tea Rooms deliver food and drinks with a difference. There are no boring, tasteless scones here! Instead, imaginative combinations create a memorable experience. The Mars bar flapjack will live long in the memory (let's be honest, each on their own are pretty good too!). Genuine, personal service, and a heartfelt concept that works. Excellent.

We popped here for some brunch on our last day in Harrogate. The husband and wife team were so incredibly friendly and welcoming and the food was lovely. We only intended to stop for some scrambled egg on toast but also ended up leaving with a Mars Bar Flapjack and a Rocky Road as we just couldn't resist. We ate these on the car journey home!

Friendly and welcoming service and the coffee was excellent. If I lived here I would have more opportunity to sample the wonderful homebaking! Next time I'm in the area it will be first on my list of places to go. Scones are out of this world.

Wonderfull little place to visit on any occasion ,visited with my Daughter and we had a lovely welcome by very friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for us .We had the scone and a piece of cake and they were both delicious

Very quaint little tea room, a must visit if you are in Harrogate, located in the gorgeous Westminster arcade.

Outstanding tea rooms with coffee and scones to die for! So friendly and welcoming! Will definitely be back next year when I’m in Harrogate!
