Weetons Food Hall & Weetons Leeds Road

Visit their longstanding Harrogate town centre food hall on West Park or visit their new flagship store at the former Crimple Garden Centre. This stunning new site on Leeds Road includes a restaurant that can seat 250 people, a stunning outdoor terrace looking over the Crimple Valley and an extensive food hall that showcases the very best Yorkshire meats, sweet bakes, and organic vegetables.

The Ivy

If you want your brunch with a side of luxury, then look no further than The Ivy. Decadent surroundings and seamless service merge together to offer you a perfect start to your day. The menu is huge, with something to please even the pickiest of eaters. Keep it light, with eggs served almost any way you like, smoked salmon crumpets, or really line your stomach with a full English, or even a steak if you fancy! Coffee, fresh juices, and breakfast cocktails (because it’s never too early) round off the menu. The Ivy is the perfect spot for a memorable Brunch in Harrogate.

Bettys Brunch Harrogate

A true British icon for over 100 years, most know Bettys for their afternoon tea, but they do a wonderful brunch in addition. Cinnamon toast, pastries, or a Florentine breakfast rosti would all be the perfect accompaniment to that cup of Earl Grey. Take home a box of delicious sweet treats baked fresh every morning, and continue the experience at home.

Hoxton North

Available: 7 days a week

Grey subway tiles and a cool, dark wood interior make Hoxton North one of the hippest spots on this top Harrogate Brunch list. Touting itself as a ‘London inspired coffee shop’, diners can choose from brunch plates including all-day breakfast sandwiches, Croque monsieur, and smoked salmon and avocado toast. They have a strong range of cakes and pastries if that’s more your thing, and even serve brunch cocktails from midday. It’s 5 o’clock somewhere, right?

Farmhouse

Farmhouse was an aspiration for owner Jordan, who had always dreamed of owning his own restaurant. Serving up delicious brunch options with a unique twist, all day until 5 pm, Farmhouse is a welcome addition to the Harrogate food scene.

Their menu changes frequently but favourites we’ve tried were blueberry and banana pancakes, a Mexican-inspired huevos rancheros breakfast including sweet and spicy chorizo, avocado, and feta, as well as lighter fragrant salad bowls.

Their drinks menu is vast, with cocktails, mocktails, smoothies, and quality hand-roasted coffee. Snuggle up with a soothing chai latte, or celebrate the end of the week with a spiced mango margarita.

Yolk at Minskip Farm Shop

Located right in the middle of a real working free-range egg farm, Yolk at Minskip Farm Shop has a variety of mouthwatering brunch options. From sweetcorn fritters to their staple “What came first?” chicken pancakes.

Each dish is served with fresh Yolk Farm eggs, supplied by their happy free-roaming hens which you can observe frolicking on their 6-hectare green paddock, shaded by fruit trees. Be sure to say hello to their alpacas, pigs, and goats too whist you’re there!

Crema Coffee

Founded by Simon and Shaun, this trendy pick close to Valley Gardens is new to the Harrogate food scene and a soon-to-be favorite. 

With a breakfast menu and a brunch club, Crema does brunch classics right – because as they say, why mess with the best? Choose an eggs benedict, royale or high stack pancakes. You can add a creamy frappe, milkshake, or protein smoothie to accompany your breakfast too – yum.

As dog owners themselves, Crema strives to be the most ‘dog-friendly’ coffee shop in Harrogate, so feel free to bring your furry friend to this lovely brunch spot.
