Now that the Boathouse Cafe has closed along with De Mario's and Now the Yorkshire Lass we really need you there. It is one of the most stunning locations I have ever had the pleasure of sitting down to a hot chocolate at. It is a very friendly family run business. Jules is really the captian but lets ron wear the hat. You can tell if Claire is working as you will hear the laughing from 1/2 a mile away. A great Place. You'll love it!

The decor is fantastic, relaxing, and quaint, but more importantly, the food is superb. Everything we tried, from the milkshakes to the desserts, were absolutely finger-licking good. The quality was simply superb. This place is worth going out of one's way to visit. If you're looking for a fantastic lunch, it's where it's at. One note, the place tends to be busy, so it can be a bit of a wait for the food or for the staff, but the food is worth the wait.

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!

I'd have Chips, tea, and a caramel shortbread slice. I'm very picky with my food, and there were never any faults. The place is kept clean and I never had an issue with the staff, who were seemingly a nice family. The only negatives is the amount of northerners with their pushchairs. It's a little cafe, don't bring a pushchair.

The bill for three courses 2 bottles of wine and 4 beers for four was less than a £100 , a winner all round, will definitely go again.

All the produce in both the cafè and shop is sourced locally and there's an varied range available (I walked away having purchased sausage, pork & Stilton pie, caramelised onion chutney and an interesting curry sauce). The staff, who were very welcoming and friendly, are very knowledgeable about the food and produce. I perused the menu whilst sipping a rather nice amercano coffee and eventually ordered the 'Yorkshire Madam' from the specials board; a Yorkshire twist on the French Croque Madame. It was absolutely delicious, the poached eggs were cooked to perfection and the mornay sauce they were covered was scummy. If you're in the area do pop in, I'm sure you wont regret it!
