Discovered this quaint and cosy little tea room quite by chance on a day trip to Harrogate. It's well hidden in the cobbled back streets of the Montpellier Quarter, but happily for me, there was a sign pointing the way through a ginnel to the charming little courtyard that it shares with an antique shop. The café is family run and very welcoming. It was the owner himself who greeted me; he was both helpful and friendly, and I soon felt right at home. The interior of the café is small and nicely decorated with china teacups, vintage lampshades, and beautifully embroidered tablecloths. Ample outdoor seating. There are toilets in another building just across the courtyard. Good choice of hot and cold drinks (had a refreshing ginger beer). The menu was small but offered a nice selection of light meals, including sandwiches, bagels, omelettes, and jacket potatoes. They also do afternoon teas, and there were some delicious-looking homemade cakes on display. Opted for the ploughman's lunch. Well prepared, fresh, tasty and filling, it included three types of cheese, homemade quiche, a whole apple, and two slices of lovely fresh brown bread with butter. Excellent value at only £9 (£12.10 if you include the ginger beer!). I'm so glad I found this place! Would...
Read moreMy daughter and I discovered this little tea shop in 2019. I will never forget the tiny little friendly shop. The scones were the best I've had out of all the scones I had on my 2 week trip to London and Harrogate. Their strawberry jam was the most amazing that I ever had. This shop provided the best mother-daughter date. The ambience being cozy and quiet with other patrons close by. It felt like a gentle hug. Like seeing a best childhood friend that I hadnt seen in years. We sat right in front of the big window, chatting and eating sandwiches and scones with cream and jam and sipping tea. Looking at all the little items for sale. Teacups and books and linens. My memories go back here time and again to the magical little tea shop tucked into a courtyard across from a tiny bookshop. There were rare moments of feeling like I was in a quintessential English town invited to a friend's cottage. This was definitely one of those times. Thank you Jenny's tea shop, I can't wait to...
Read moreBrilliant! What a fabulous little tearooms. Hidden away somewhat but worth unearthing for sure. In by Montpellier Mews Antiques Centre. Has a delightful courtyard garden. Quite small inside but oh, so popular and I can see why. The two lovely young lasses waiting on were über welcoming, charming, friendly and helpful, real service with a smile. Sorry, I didn't get your names. I didn't land until 15 minutes before closing, but they were totally welcoming and happy to serve, which can't be said for a lot of places, especially on such a sweltering day and with so many customers. Very, very impressed with the service, just lovely. Reasonably priced menu. I had a Bunderberg Ginger Beer and a scone with cream. The fresh strawberry that came with it was juicy, sweet and very tasty, far nicer than my strawberries! I am going to come here every time I visit Harrogate. Splendid. Super. Wonderful. Service was a delight.... I guess that translates as very highly...
