Bowe & Co. in Harrogate

Stopped here for a takeaway brunch while on the A1 heading north. Busy cafe. Good choice, good food, well cooked. Thanks to Adam and Steve. Certainly worth the 5 minutes off and 5 minutes on. Ample parking outside

Always a pleasure at Bowe & Co! Sit down or take away, a fantastic choice of salads and quiches, all home made. Can't beat it.

We Love it here,The owners are lovely,the atmosphere is relaxed,The food is great especially the delicious scones! And tasty coffees too.

We've stopped here a couple of times now on our journeys to and from Scotland. It's such a lovely place. The quiche and salad is just the best! The place has a lovely feel to it. The staff are very friendly. Great coffee, too!

Popped in for lunch on my way through Boroughbridge. A comfortable local cafe Deli. I had delicious home made quiche with several different delicious salads. All the food is fresh local and made on the premises. I’d highly recommend a visit if your in Boroughbridge. I can recommend their coffee too!

What a pity we had stuffed ourselves on a truly delicious lunch and lovely coffee when we saw the most amazing cake being decorated and then brought out to the counter!!! We are going to have to go back and save space to try what they make next!

The food and service is always of the highest standard. The staff are very friendly and food always delicious. This small business is highly recommended.

Lovely takeout coffee, awesome chocolate cake and very friendly staff too, happy to help me with directions too. I'll definitely go back when I'm passing. -the biker looking for the stones

Amazing. Great good. Great service. Just a perfect little cafe on the high street. Very good value for money too. Will return. Jelly babies with hot drinks. Which was a nice touch

Having spent too much time (and money) in the various dismal service stations/ rest areas on the A1 we decided to head into the beautiful little Yorkshire town of Boroughbridge and see what it had to offer. Well it had Bowe & Co which is one of those cafes that you wish you had in your own town, everyone seemed to know each other, the service was genuinely friendly (and efficient), the menu was nicely varied and the food and drink was superb. My wife is a scone expert and she reckons that this was one of the best she had ever eaten.

I’ve been here a few times now for my decaf oatmilk mocha and it’s such a wonderful place. Unfortunately for my diet I saw the coffee walnut cake and had to buy some, it was delicious!!! There’s a good choice of proper food and accompanied by a friendly team of staff. Highly recommended!

We came across this shop and bought takeaway quiche and salad which were so tasty. Also succumbed to a piece of carrot cake which was delicious.

Bowe & co is one of those hidden in plain sight Gems! Nestled between Hunters Estate agents and Pybus in Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire. Has to be visited to believe the high quality food, drink and service! I’ve been to mediocre cafes in my cycling days but, Bowe & Co. is now my only go to in Boroughbridge. Go to Bowe & Co., quite simply, one of the very best deli/ coffee shops I have been to in my many years! GO NOW, GO NOW OR GO NOW!

Called just for coffee and scones. Staff were most polite and helpful. Very Covid-safe. Served by a young girl who chatted with most customers and made everyone feel welcome. Really lovely and we will definitely return, thank you. (The meat/salad counter looked great but we were unable to buy anything else at the time as en route to our hotel.)

I just dont like stopping at services and took my chances by turning off the A1 and heading to Borough bridge. What a lovely find! The Bowe & Co looks lovely from the outside and the inside is a delightful quirky and comfortable space to chill out. I had a very good flatwhite and large toasted tea cake, again delicious. The menu was interesting and all fresh prepared. Would stop again when traveling up or down the A1. The village has a number of shops to browse.

Visited Bowe and Co again today with my Mum and my Girlfriend and her daughter.We had the large Lattes they are Quality frothy milky Hot Superb Lattes! One of us had tea which i think would benefit if it was served with a pot of hot water.One of our party had the Navvy toast and one of us had a bacon bap and two of us including myself had the yummy sausage baps with caramelised onions in.Large Lattes are £3.20 and the Baps are £4.85 each so pretty fair value and very tasty.Some lovely styled seats in here and a cosy feel and nice staff.Roger Clarke.Harrogate Feb 20.

We had long threatened to visit Boroughbridge, purely because you see signs and you are going somewhere else.After a quiet perambulation round the centre of the town, having seen the sights, eg the Vets, and 1of the best hardware shops ever created. We decided to retire to Bowe & Co for refreshments.As we were feeling quite continental we had a capachinos each and I, feeling rebellious, had a cheese scone. The coffee was grade 1 and the scone just right, plenty of cheese with a soupçon of mustard to sharpen the taste. Very very good.Not an enormous establishment, but friendly and clean. Always a bonus.If I return to Boroughbridge I will patronise this lovely little place again.

Visit this lovely cafe each time im here to browse round the gift shops and the cafe/Deli is cosy friendly very popular and has a nice feel to it.Nice lattes and food.Just mind your head in the loo! Tiny door in there!

Called in for lunch on way north on M1. Parking easy in pretty village and cafe welcoming frontage on village high street. We were immediately welcomed by a young man who assisted with finding a table. Menu perfect with few sandwiches, quiches and platters. We had bacon and Brie sandwich served with large side salad and mixed salad from deli bar!! Yum yum! Definitely recommend. All salads sandwiches are made freshly and each one is delicious! All the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Will aim to drop in on way home!

Dropped in here yesterday, sat outside as the weather was lovely. Had the Yorkshire platter and it was delicious. Great service, good menu. Highly recommended

Arrived at 2:45 pm & were expecting to be told 'cold food only'. But NO! We could have whatever was on the menu. Chose the Feta cheese & olive quiche with the full salad (it was late, we were hungry)! It was delicious and satisfying. The full salad consisted of servings of salads from the deli: quinoa with apricots, beetroot, red coleslaw; green salad & pasta salad. All of which had distinct flavours making a harmonious plateful. The cakes & pastries for afters looked gorgeous too but we were too full to partake. We'll be back. Next time the lemon and poppy seed cake is MINE!

Bowe & Co is on the High Street in Borobridge and houses a cafe and deli. Boroughbridge is a small town in North Yorkshire with a successful High Street to shop, individual shops and with a large supermarket on the fringe of the town. Free parking with a suggested £2 donation towards the upkeep. Bowe & Co.....stylish and a touch arty with friendly and very welcoming staff. Superb for coffee, breakfast or brunch and a well stocked deli counter. Yorkshire Newspaper and localyl focused magazines available to read whilst enjoying your coffee. Loos too. A must !!

Visited Bowe and Co many times and always been happy with the food and service. Salads are delicious and varied. Delicious cakes too!

Bowe and Co Deli Cafe is, as the name might imply, a cafe cum delicatessen in the centre of Boroughbridge. The cafe menu is simple and consists of soups, sandwiches, salads etc., as well as various cold food platters.We just had tea and fruit scones, which were excellent, and they also have a nice selection of cakes. Service was very good and this is a really nice cafe.

We stopped off in Boroughbridge on our way to Northumberland. We found this relaxed and friendly cafe-deli on the high street. We were greeted with an extensive menu including a delicious selection of salads/cheeses. You cannot beat a pot of Yorkshire tea to revive you and my wife said the coffee was the best she had ever tasted.

We travelled a way to eat here after reading fabulous reviews. The decor is quaint if a little tired. We chose the Yorkshire platter to share which was delicious particularly the ham, we were surprised it didn't come with any bread so we had to pay extra and it was soft bread/rolls, the dish would of been uplifted by some crispy French stick. The cream cheese chocolate fudge brownie was very tasty. Service was very good and we would eat here again if in the area.

Delicious food, interesting choices of salads, quiches and an outstanding bacon and mushroom sandwich.My son thinks the bacon and brie is well worth spending his very hard earned minimum wage on!

Shared a salad with my son last week for an impromptu lunch. Bowe & Co specialise in an interesting variety of salads and serve their quiches warm.

Great little deli/cafe, obviously popular with locals & visitors alike. We called in for a late lunch one day & got the timing right in finding a choice of tables after the lunchtime rush. The cafe is cosy & quirky but with a modern vibe. A lovely sweet potato soup for me, with a nice spice to it. A well filled & tasty tuna mayo bap for MOH. Simple, fresh food, sensibly priced & served with a smile. Great coffee too.

First off, this cafe and deli is popular. It's also quite small, and although the owners have made the most of their space inside and placed a couple of table outside, seating is limited, so you might be disappointed.

I visit here daily when working in boroughbridge but recently ive had multiple poor visits. Most recent one I walked in; no staff and front counter and lady then came and appeared to hardly understand English and I could hardly understand her, after eventually getting my salad, she then asked me if I wanted the chicken slicing, what did she expect me to eat this massive chicken breast whole, I got home the salad itself was poor tasted like it had been left on the side for days and the chicken appeared slightly undercooked.

A little shopping trip and visit to Boroughbridge on a sunny day. We stopped here for lunch and were quite impressed with the excellent quality of the food, to say nothing about the size of the portions.

We were travelling north on the A1M and wanted a brunch stop. We drove into Boroughbridge which took all of 5 minutes and found this lovely little cafe. We were able to park right outside and they even provided the parking disk so that we didn't have to pay. The service was efficient and friendly and the food and drink very tasty and innovative with a local home cooking touch. The iced coffee was very welcome and not too sweet or creamy. The bread was perfect and the cheese on toast to die for. We would certainly go again.

We called for morning coffee as we were passing through Borobridge in North Yorkshire

Came in for some lunch the staff where friendly. Food ordered came out in a timely manner there was a small issue with food it was a bit cold but they sorted the issue and we left happy worth a visit

Been in twice for lunch and had Bacon & Brie toastie both times. Not shy on the bacon or the brie. Absolutely delicious! Latte was also lovely.

Lovely home cooked and prepared food and drinks. Very friendly and helpful staff. Large selection of sandwiches, salads, pies and pastas.

Having been out in the cold walking around a few places it was time for a hot drink and a bite to eat. We where not disappointed I choose the Yorkshire rarebit with this you had coleslaw and salad. The husband choose sausage bread roll with onions even his bread roll was hot. The tea Yorkshire of course was nice and strong.

We found this little gem whilst viewing some near by caravan parks and the food is exemplary. Highly recommend anyone near the Boroughbridge area visiting this place.

This has become a firm favourite as my coffee shop of choice!!! The tea is lovely and the food delicious. Service is great and the staff are really friendly. I also love the little jelly baby that comes on the spoon!! The cakes are just wonderful and the servings very generous. A great little coffee spot.

Great cafe with lovely atmosphere. Service is excellent. Great Bacon and Tomato sandwiches and coffee is delicious. Always welcoming.

We are been here a few times and have always had a nice experience, the staff are always friendly and it’s relaxing sat enjoying your coffee n cake, I like the crockery you are served with and the have lots of choice of sandwiches and cakes, a busy shop that you can sit for as long as you require without any hassles.

I had an amazing Yorkshire Platter which was a great fill of a wide selection of salad and local meat, cheese and chutneys. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area! We will certainly be back there again.

Often visit here for a treat or deli-lunch. A one of a kind place, much better than any chain. Try the sandwich or quiche with deli-salad, yummy. Just a cake? Unusual choice of deliciousness.

What more can I say!! I had a lovely lunch at Bowe & Co. today. A nice pate on toast with delicious chutney, followed by a scrumptious homemade almond cake. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and spotless!

Good choice and variety on menu and specials board. The service was really good. We were attended to almost immediately and the waitress very pleasent. Food was all ok/good. Again service was great. I think its a little too pricey. Would visit again

Our first use of “TheExtra Mile: Delicious Alternatives to Motorway Services” to find a lunch stop on the way from Cambridge to the Lake District. Bowes was perfect. Salads, quiches, pork pies and tea cakes, all with great service from the enthusiastic young staff. It’s well worth the walk to see the 3 Devil’s Arrows after lunch, if you have the time and like to see pointy old stones, that is.

The cafe is friendly and pleasant to eat in the food is all home cooked with great choices it was recommended by my Son Simon who uses it all the time

A great partnership with kitchen and service combining to make the food from what looks like a café menu just how you want it with every detail noted prepared and served. A good value café deli delight.

Turned off the A1 and were rewarded with an excellent bacon sandwich. Nice staff, lovely deli, everything a cafe should be. Definitely returning.

Met with friends here for lunch, everyone had fabulous tasty food. I had a delicious quiche and huge mixed salad. Very reasonable prices. Friendly service.

Bowe & Co. is a fantastic place for lunch. We had the squash and coriander soup, bread, and couscous. The flavours in the soup were perfect. I have been trying unsuccessfully to replicate it at home. I loved the picture of Princess Diana on the wall in the dining room part of the building. The lady in the photo with Princess Diana told us the story of meeting her. We had such a great time at Bowe & Co. Thank you!

This seems to be one of these places where customers are merely tolerated. "I can you tell now there is a long wait because I have just received a big order" "But I only wanted a piece of cake from the counter" She grudgingly passes it over then proceeds to overcharge me for it. Too busy to be friendly. The food was also not that brilliant, a pea and mint soup that tasted of neither. Cake was nice though.

Huge bacon sarnie and cup of coffee in this lovely café today - very welcoming and friendly staff too :) Been here many times and eaten a variety of food, all of a very high standard and good sized portions. Often just had a coffee with a friend, no one makes you feel you have to rush, is a really lovely and relaxed place to be. Would highly recommend!

This was recommended to us by a stranger I asked directions from. Great choice. Lovely, quirky little place with delicious food. Friendly, happy staff. Well worth a visit.

This is a coffee shop but also a great Deli. Bought various items from here but in particular the quiche, many varieties and all lovely. Would recommend buying some to take home.

Only stopped for coffee this time but have sampled the delicious bacon sandwiches on a previous visit. The place is very inviting and the lattes very good. The staff were friendly and there are lots of tempting things to take away from the deli counter as well. Would recommend a visit

Only got a roasted chicken sandwich on a brown roll but very friendly and polite people and a very nice sandwich. Will definitely visit again

Not had a bad lunch here yet, so can't fault it. A gem on the Boroughbridge high street. Often busy, but that is OK. Take outs I think too.

I was in Boroughbridge on the 17th of July and popped into Bowe & Co for lunch. The service was fantastic- I was served by two lovely young men (looked to be about 15 and 20) who were incredibly friendly and clearly had a good relationship with each other as well as the other staff.I had the leek and cheese quiche which was to die for and the selection of salads were delicious. The cafe itself was quirky and a million miles from your sterile Starbucks interior. I'd highly recommend a visit, even just to see the sign on the toilet door!

Passed through Boroughbridge recently and having seen that Bowe and Co was highly recommended on TripAdvisor, thought we'd stop by. We were not disappointed! The lovely Alex made me a latte which was so artistic I decided to post a picture on Instagram (over 100 likes- you know, the important stuff!!!) We also tried the orange and almond cake which my brother loved- and he's very hard to please! I wish that we could have stayed for lunch and tried some of their salads (which the lady on the table next to us recommended). All the more reason to come back! Thank you.

Really good customer service, very polite and helpful staff. Yummy food and extra yummy coffee. Highly recommended. Best cafe in boroughbridge by far!

Recently moved to Boroughbridge and I wanted to try out this cafe. I was impressed! I ordered a latte and a salad bowl. The coffee was fantastic! A lovely salad too and not a long wait to be served which I liked. The staff were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back.

First time in boroughbridge and feeling a little peckish decided to park ourselves at the Bowe and Co. deli, choosing the outside chairs we took some feta tart and salad and a cheese and pickle sandwich both arriving with salads one chosen by wife and I took the standard with crisps accompaniment. Alongside we took on advice of café a small sweet potato soup for my small daughter. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very very welcome. The food was absolutely amazing and we will be back.

I came in to a cafe that looked clean and tidy. Having ordered a bacon sandwich and 2 slices of toast and 2 drinks and a pot of ketchup I was then charged 30p for and I didn't even use it. When asking for extra butter for my toast I was made to feel guilty. The food was okay, the bacon was a bit too crispy and VERY expensive at £12 for everything. Don't think I will come back.

Have been eating at this Deli for some years now and I have always been happy with the quality of the food, but after today's visit, I think I will have to go somewhere else. The cost of a simple small vegetarian salad, a cheese salad and a couple of hot drinks was incredibly high. Not good value for money any more. Staff are very accommodating with the food, but the cost was just ridiculous.

Unfortunately this is not the first time on attending this cafe that the waiting staff have managed to ignore me.I was dining alone on this occasion and as I walked in I said good afternoon to the male member of staff who was in the deli area.I took a seat at the rear of the small dining room. There were only two other tables occupied at that time and both had been served and were sat eating.After a few minutes two cyclists entered and sat down. They were immediately served. They were followed by two more cyclists and another group of 3 who took a table. A few minutes later a member from the table of three walked up to the counter in the deli and began to place their order. No one came in to take my order so I decided to leave. As I past the deli counter intending to leave a young woman was taking the order from the representative of the table of 3. I politely spoke to a lady behind the counter and explained that I had been totally ignored and that there was no order of service paid to customers. This is not the first time I have experienced poor service here. As a result of this recent experience I will not be visiting there again.Peter Darbyshire Burton Leonard

Just love our girls' lunches at 'the deli'! Liz and her team are so welcoming and the food is guaranteed to be consistently delicious and wholesome. We've probably been eating here now for 6 or 7 years on a regular basis and can never come up with a reason why we'd want to go anywhere else

Small Deli and tea room Always the first place I try to get into in Boroughbridge nice location always good food and friendly service from the staff.

Bacon roll had reheated bacon which was hard and very salty got charged for ketchup even though we did not have anyService was fine though

This is a great cafe that has an extensive menu from the Deli, but what makes it excellent is that the staff will make any combination that meet any dietary requirement. Today I chose from a range of cheeses and salads, and my friend had a choice from 2 home made soups. This cafe is worth a visit as the portions are generous, home produced and local produce, great coffee and reasonable prices.

Stopped here on our way back from our holiday in Northumbria and what a find! All of the food was clearly home made and fresh (not to mention absolutely delicious!). We were served by a very cheerful young man who couldn't do enough for us. It seemed to be a popular haunt with locals (which is always a good sign). I had one of the nicest bacon butties I've had for a while here, they were a cafe vinci place and you could tell, I had a mocha and my wife had a latte, both of which were super. We finished off with a cake from their impressive display. I could have spent even more time picking out some cheeses from their well stocked cheese counter, alas! We had to drag ourselves away and get back on the road. Simply lovely place to spend a few hoursThank you

A great little place to meet for a coffee, lite bite or lunch. Situated in the centre of Boroughbridge just off the old Market Place and well worth calling in if travelling down the A1 and need a break. I was meeting a friend for Lunch and could not believe how busy the Deli come Cafe was. Great choice of homemade goodies or local produce and I was delighted to see a sign catering for people with special dietary requirements and allergies. The staff were very helpful and I had Gluten free toastie with Brie and bacon served with homemade coleslaw and tasty crisps. My friend had a Deli bowl full of assorted homemade salads ie Pasta, cous cous, green, Potato etc she said it was delicious. The coffee was a good quality and we gave it justice by having 2 cups each. The bill came to just under £20 and the warm cosy atmosphere made it a must next time in the area.

Went here with a friend for a catch up over breakfast. Fantastic friendly service and lovely food. Would recommend to anyone. Will be back soon as the lunch platters sounded amazing! Thanks

Whilst food was good, service was slow. Chairs not wholly comfortable as a bit wobbly! Coffee very nice!

Eat here at least once a week. Standout food for me are the fabulous fresh quiches with loads of different fillings and the innovative and scrummy salads which taste as good as they look. And they look great!

How rare these days to find the food is actually prepared and made there including the fabulous cakes! Because of this everything is so different and tasty. Can't fault it!

A must for morning coffee and the very best bacon sandwiches in Yorkshire! Delightful spot. Friendly service in the cafe and at their deli counter. The Yorkshire town of Boroughbridge boasts small private independent shops, cafes and restaurants. Well worth a visit!

I had the best lunch I'd had for ages here at Bowe&Co. My sister and I visited at the end of August 2016. The surroundings are clean and comfortable. The staff were really friendly and helpful young girls . I ordered roast veg and feta quiche with salad . I was expecting the usual leaves , tomato etc. What a surprise. Not only did I get this but also 2 types of cous cous , a lentil and a beetroot salad. It was absolutely delicious. My sister had a ploughmans with hummus which looked equally delicious. It was all reasonably priced and well presented. Definately a place I'd recommend and will return to .

This Deli cafe can cater for all likes and requirements. We requested a hot coffee and got it. It was great which is hard to find at times. The staff were most helpful, polite and pleasant. nothing was a problem for them. We returned many times.

Came here with my mum and two young boys whilst staying in the area for a short break. Only wanted drinks, got two cappuccinos, a fresh orange and a can of coke. Came to just over £8. Expensive in my opinion, but the coffees were nice. Looked through food menu and the selection was good if a bit over priced.The cafe is cosy and quirky, staff very friendly....worth a visit.

Wanted somewhere to have a coffee and wait for my wife, staff not that welcoming. Coffee was average. This said it appeared popular with locals.

Never been disappointed by a trip to Bowe & Co. The menu is just big enough and should cater for every palate.

I would like to say thank you for our lovely bacon butties this morning. They were so lovely and served with a smile by lovely staff tho, which is always nice. A very special place ❤️

Stopped here as just off the A1 and much better bet than the services! Great place for a coffee and sandwich or soup of the day with crusty bread. Highly recommended.

Lovely quirky little deli/café - serving fab home made cakes, a bonus for me is tea with skimmed milk as not everyone serves this....the soup & salads are excellent & there is lovely food to take out

Stopped on our way through for a spot of lunch. Lovely little place and food to a good standard but a little pricey for what you get. The joy of captive audience and staff not overly helpful.

Good service and produce, could put on too much weight if this was near my home. Very clean, peaceful and intimate.

We have stopped here on a number of occasions for lunch and we have always enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. This is an excellent Deli with a good lunchtime menu. On the last two visits we have shared a Yorkshire Platter with local produce and a good variety of salads.Well worth a visit.

I have just enjoyed a weeks cycling around the dales, a cafe stop is all part of the ride. We stopped at this cafe twice is was so good, great selection of food and Lovely coffee. Service could not have been better, made us feel welcome despite our cycling attire. Would definitely re-visit.

Visited here on a Saturday morning v busy excellent service morning papers to relax with delicious coffee and scrumptious cinnamon toast would recommend

Stopped in on way back home, enjoyed a nice coffee. The deli counter looked good, full of homemade treats but we didn't have time to eat but will definitely try next time.

On the high street in boroughbridgeOften fills up midday as popularNot lots of tables. Coffee nice. Always specials. Deli and cakes very nice indeed. Good coffee. Friendly serviceHad the Navvy toast this trip (a lighter option). If you want the other end of the scale the Yorkshire platter is always delicious as are the home made soupsWell worth a visit

Best coffee I've ever had and the best bacon sandwich I've ever had! Great deli as well. A truly fabulous establishment.

Really good deli food to takeaway, a lovely coffee shop where you can sit and enjoy all the fresh produce from the deli. Good warm atmosphere and great waitress service.

First, we called-in for a late morning snack - we had coffees and toasted teacakes, Yum.We looked around the the town - buying various things we didn't know we needed, and felt ready for a late lunch. We looked at various other establishments and thought we could not better here; so in we went for the second time. We had Soup of the Day, and Bacon & Brie Toastie which came with Tuna and salad: the bread was also delicious and it was accompanied by a portion of Piper's Anglesea sea salt crisps. Recommended.

I live locally and I have not visited this restaurant before but we will certainly be back. Had sandwiches with a lovely salad. Nice, chilled out atmosphere, wifi, papers and friendly staff. Perfect!!

Called in here for a coffee out of the rain,good service and shabby chic surroundings must be good as it was full of locals.The deli counter looked delicious too !

We popped in for a quick bite to eat during a long drive down the A1. The waitress was really good helping my six-year son choose what he wanted as he couldn't make his mind up. he enjoyed his sandwich so much that he now insists that we must go back nest time we're in the area.My wife and I both had the five bean soup, which was excellent.

Popped in for lunch. Had a Yorkshire Platter was lovely. Good service friendly place. Can just have a coffee and cake but highly recommend the salads.
