Oh my, a quaint English Tea House in a delightful town. It's where TIP comes from - Victorian tea…read morehouses had a small box on each table. If you dropped a coin or more in the box, as you were being sat down, the waiter made sure you got served efficiently - the boxes had written on them to improve promptness. as I've said before, I can resist everything but temptation and the pastries, cakes and of course the smells here just yelled buy me. Happy to oblige me dears. I mean iced fancies, sweet pies, crispy tarts, buttery shortcrust, fresh cream, grated lemon zest, meringue. Oooh. Expect to pay a sum commensurate with quality. We got lots of cakes and pastries to share with our grandkids. Everything we got was exceptional quality and looked so inviting. The servers were charming and all the goodies were boxed up and tied with ribbons. Just proper.

The staff are so friendly and with crisp clean uniforms they bring a touch of nostalgia. If you have the chance this is a must visit, or grab some cakes to take home and nibble on.

My husband is here on business and designated this bakery as "the best" cupcake shop he's ever been…read moreto. He is right! The cakes are moist and the icing is perfectly sweet. The owners are absolutely delightful and the shop itself is very charming. During my time in Harrogate I tried 4 of the flavors available and while they were all delicious, the peanut butter one is amazing!!

Well, I'll start off by talking about the pasties at this shop. In my opinion, these are very…read moreexpensive at around £2-3, compared to other bakerys where they are usual under £1. But, they do seem to be good quality, however they would not be my choice if I visited this shop. However THE PANINIS ARE AMAZING! No joke, and most of them are £2-2.20, which is cheaper than most of the pasties! They are all very very tasty, and a huge size for the price! There is a variety of flavours including; tuna bake, cheese and tomato, chicken and bacon and cheese, bacon and brie etc. Need a delicious well priced bite to eat whilst snacking? This is the place! Not to be missed!

All the staff are so lovely, always polite and very considerate! love the food (very different to…read moreany other brunch place in harrogate)! Gets very busy and unfortunately can't book, however, the staff are always accommodating to fit you in!

Hurrah for Baltzersen - and hurrah for their stripped back Scandinavian charm!…read more We were in Harrogate for the Tour de France and it was one of those days where we were seriously wondering if we were going to get a table anywhere or if it would be a quick sandwich on a bench somewhere. Adding a baby in a buggie further complicates the situation but luckily with us being "fair weather" cycling fans we decided to have a late lunch and managed to beat the crowds who'd all gone down and grabbed themselves a seat near the front! First off this is a super cool setting - clean, crisp, efficient but friendly - it's all service from the counter where you can get coffee and cakes, but you can go deeper into a menu offering sandwiches, snacks and platter boards. Our mixed board of meat and fish came with fresh bread and pickles and cost £8 - not bad to share between us. I was really impressed with them supporting the local 'bad seed brewery' and their Citra mashup beer was a lovely Saturday afternoon beer - definitely going in there as one to enjoy in the future again! We also grabbed cinnamon buns to go - £1.70 inside where you can sit in with it, £2 when bought outside to take way - I'm not sure how that works out... but there you go, who's me to argue with the economics of the cafe business... A great place that I'm going to check out next time in Harrogate!

Mama Doreen's Emporium came highly recommended so we just had to try it. Initial impressions were…read moregood with a setting which reflected the price. We mainly opted for Yorkshire tea which came in decent size pots allowing for a couple of tea cups full each although the second round of tea came in one medium and one small pot for 4 which left us feeling slightly short changed. We ordered afternoon tea for 5 and received a great selection of sweet and savoury delights. We were somewhat puzzled by the fact that, if you required a gluten free tea you had to have lactose free too which seemed strangely rigid and punative (and totally unnecessary) as all the items are prepared on site by skilled people. Our two people who required the gluten free option had to request cream for their scones and in their merangues (strange when the merangues served to the rest of us were gluten free anyway). We also felt that the surcharge for gluten free of £2.50 was a kick in the teeth for people who already have less dietary options and are, after all, limited by a medical condition. Service was variable with some delays and unanswered requests although I have to make it clear that one of our servers, Alberto, made up for the failings of some colleagues by demonstrating consistantly excellent customer service and a very pleasant demeanor, he made our visit so much better! I didn't use the rest room but those our party that did reported that they were dirty and unpleasant.
