Nestled in the heart of Harrogate, Bettys Café Tea Rooms has been a beloved institution since its inception in 1919. Founded by Swiss confectioner Frederick Belmont, this iconic venue has delighted generations with its unique blend of traditional British and Swiss-inspired culinary delights. Celebrated especially for its exquisite afternoon teas and freshly baked scones, Bettys continues to charm visitors and locals alike.
Bettys began its journey in 1919 when Frederick Belmont opened the first tea room in Harrogate. This marked the start of a tradition that would become synonymous with British teatime culture. The expansion continued in 1937 with the opening of Bettys York at St Helen's Square, further establishing the brand's reputation for quality and elegance.
In 1962, Bettys merged with Taylors of Harrogate, a renowned family-owned tea and coffee business. This partnership enhanced Bettys' offerings by combining exceptional tea blends with their celebrated baked goods, elevating the café experience to new heights.
The brand continued to evolve into the 21st century, with the opening of Bettys Harlow Carr at the RHS Harlow Carr Gardens in 2004, offering visitors a serene setting alongside delicious fare. Despite modern challenges, Bettys has maintained its commitment to quality and service.
In 2021, while the Bettys Stonegate café location closed, its shop remained open to cater to devoted fans eager to enjoy their favorite cakes, teas, and baked goods. This move illustrates Bettys' adaptability and dedication to preserving its legacy.
