Bettys Cafe Tearoom Bar is an institution. People come from far to experience the old fashioned service and excellent quality of their products. It is normal to see a long queue outside of people waiting for a table. As former York residents, we have visited Bettys in York many times and know what to expect. We were early yesterday and there were still a few empty tables. A very friendly lady with a warm smile "handed" us over to another lovely lady who showed us to our table. Our expectation of Bettys was already met. However, it soon went downhill. Within one minute after we had taken off our coats and sat down, a waitress came over and asked if we were ready to order. Her mannerism was anything but what we expect from Bettys. She was polite but nothing more. The best way to describe her would be "unfriendly and miserable". We told her that we need more time, then ordered tea, coffee, cakes. My second cup of coffee took at least 8 minutes to arrive. Whilst I drank my coffee, the waitress turned up, asked us if we wanted to order anything else and, when we said we didn't, she then immediately reappeared with the bill. She did mention the obligatory "No rush" of course. The way she handled it all didn't help. Outside was a queue. For a waitress to try to push clients out of a venue (on her own account or ordered) because people are waiting outside - in our case whilst I have not even finished my coffee - is out of order. She may have said "No rush" but it is just totally wrong. Beautiful Mocha coffee, beautiful cakes but still a bad taste...

My friend loves afternoon tea and we have been to Betty's in York last year. This year I wanted to show him some different places so I chose Harrogate (Mainly for Fountains Abbey).

We had to wait a few minutes as there was a short queue but the lady on duty was attentive and came out to provide menus early and the check on the number of people in each party.

When we got to our table it was clean with plenty of space around it (I hate when you are crammed in somewhere), we were sat in the main area near the windows, it was a little warm but tolerable.

We were served by the lovely Roberta, she was lovely and attentive making sure we had everything we needed.

We both had the Pink Champagne afternoon tea, the cost of the champagne is a little high but we were having a treat, they replaced my salmon sandwich (at my request) without issue and it felt like a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

The food was delicious and we spend a good hour and a half enjoying the atmosphere and the cakes.

The cakes are very rich, but this is balanced by the tea. It is a shame that there is only one blend of tea on offer but its was still delicious.

My only real criticism would be the cake selection, as it is the same as the Café in York and therefore hasn't changed recently, the tea room we go to in Manchester changes their cake selected every few months which makes it more likely you will go back because it will be a different experience but all in all a...
