1. Bettys Tearoom Harrogate
Whilst Bettys Tea Rooms in Harrogate is not cool and edgy like many other cafes and coffee shops in Harrogate on this list. It is an institution in Yorkshire and it is still a family-run business over 100 years after it opened.
Going to Bettys is always number 1 on the list of things to do in Harrogate, I queued for 30 minutes in the cold and thought it was worth it so I couldn’t leave Bettys Tea Shop in Harrogate off this list of cafes in Harrogate, could I?!
2. Harrogate Bakeri Baltzersen Shop
When I asked my Instagram followers for the best cafes in Harrogate, I was recommended Baltzersens so I went for breakfast here before leaving Harrogate on a Sunday morning.
It’s such a great coffee shop in Harrogate and cafe, especially for breakfast, brunch or a sweet treat from their bakery.

Baltzersens is a Scandanavian style cafe which I thought was really interesting to see in Harrogate (although not uncommon as there are 2 more on this list of best cafes in Harrogate!).
It’s definitely cool and quirky and offers something different for brunch in Harrogate or breakfasts in Harrogate because of their Scandinavian-inspired menu with Grøt porridge, Scandinavian waffles, Cinnamon Buns, and much more.
I did notice quite a few things on their menu are gluten-free so if you’re looking for Gluten-free cafes in Harrogate, check them out!

4. Fi:k
“Fi:k brings together Swedish style with a friendly, Yorkshire welcome.”
Fi:k Kaffe in Harrogate is another Scandanavian inspired cafe but this time Swedish and is well located in Montpellier Gardens.
Here you can get coffee, brunch, lunch and pastries in a quirky independent cafe and inside they really have mixed Sweden with Yorkshire as they have kept the original features of their 19th century Grade II listed building with a Scandanavian style.

Afternoon Tea in Harrogate is a must and for another option for the best afternoon tea in Harrogate, visit Mama Doreen’s Emporium!
