Riverside Cafe in Harrogate

Called here for a breakfast and a latte and was very glad I chose this place. Beautiful full English breakfast served by lovely friendly staff. Nice touch of blankets in the outdoor seating area for when it's not quite as warm as you'd imagined. I'll definitely call again.

Beautiful little cafe at the base of Knaresborough Castle sat on the front of the river Nidd. Beautiful location to have a quiet meal and a drink. Worth the visit

The location, the food, the coffees, the service and most of all the price, we really went and enjoyed with this amazing view is just how it should be.!! Incredible place highly recommended for family.!

Great little busy place lovely staff too

Ok. Nothing special. Kids menu limited. Owner/boss lady not very helpful. Couldn't manage to do a small sandwich for a child. Said if we sell you half a sandwich then we can't sell the other half! Well just make it with one slice of bread then! 🤷🏽‍♂️

Stopped here on way to York for a quick bite. Food was tremendous and the service top quality. Will definitely be back. Views along the river are beautiful.

Great service plus treats for the dog

This place is great for a coffee and a slice of cake after a walk along the river Nidd. The views are fabulous and the chocolate cake is to die for

New Year's Day walk in Knaresborough and stumbled across the Cafe and only sat down outside due to a vacant table. All 4 of us had the Roast Pork and apple sandwich,which, not tge cheapest but very large and very tasty and would definitely have again. Both the young male and female waiting on staff were very polite and pleasant. Would definitely use again if in tge area.

Outstanding! We visited this lovely cafe whilst at the Christmas Markets, they were quick to accomodate our family (all 9 of us) by moving some tables around. The staff were extremely friendly but professional, very polite and couldnt do enough for us. The food was brilliant and the view of the river was an added bonus. Thank you for making us feel so welcome, we will be back.

Fantastic little place. Great food, amazing friendly service and a stunning view of the river. Will be definitely returning

Very friendly staff and really nice food. Made us very welcome and enjoyed some great bacon baps and fries. Good value and great spot to have lunch alfresco

Agree with the scones comment. Heavy like supermarket's own brand.

Stopped off here today and ordered a baked potato which took a very long time to arrive and when it did, it hardly had any cheese on it and we wouldn't have known if there was any butter on it or not. Dry and lacked flavour. Disappointing for an extortionate price of £7.95. Will not be going again and cannot recommend.

The ice cream isn’t great.. very little flavour, and more than a few icicles.

The location the food the service and most of all the price. All. Rolled in with this amazing view is just how it should be. Incredible place highly recommended for family and pets. Boat hire £8 pp for upto an hour. Well worth it!!

Came here after a walk. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. Seemed to have a good selection of food and the chip buttys we had were great. Lovely surroundings too to be sat by the river.

We came here for lunch with our 2 dogs and sat outside with views of the river and viaduct. We both had the roast pork, stuffing and apple sauce baps which came with fries and a salad garnish. The food was presented nicely and tasted delicious, we really enjoyed it. The staff were all very nice too.

Friendly service and dog friendly. Enjoyed a nice coffee and lunch with views of the river and bridge. Great spot in nice weather

Great food, fast friendly service.

Good coffee but sadly the scones are not home made anymore

We sat outside for a coffee while we waiting for the other half of our group to arrive. Beautiful scenery and dog friendly inside and out. We had a mixture of drinks, coffees/water/tea/ fizzy drinks. Great value, great service Very clean and staff were so lovely!

Absolutely fab river side cafe to stop at for any meal of the day! We stopped for lunch and were instantly met and seated at an outside table by a very polite and friendly employee. The menu has a great selection of options, including breakfasts served all day. Ordering was very easy, prices were very well priced and the food arrived within 15mins. The food itself was really, really nice! I would thoroughly recommend this as a great spot for food/drink along the river in Knaresborough!

Fantastic little cafe with lovely surroundings. Lovely staff and fast service. Food was gorgeous and pretty good prices. Only downside is that inside has very little seating

We chose this cafe rather than the one next to the river because it had far more choice on food. We were not disappointed, friendly staff and quick service. I am not one for leaving reviews but felt this quaint little place was amazing. I had the roast pork bap with apple sauce and homemade stuffing. This was the best roast pork bap I have ever had! The pork was tasty and clearly good quality, they did not scrimp on anything and the roll was soft and fresh. Very impressed and would highly recommend this for anyone visiting Knaresborough

Really tasty bacon butty here, can be difficult to get a seat though on busy days, but well worth

We visited this riverside cafe for brunch today & had a really good experience - lovely staff, lovely food - reasonably priced with great views of the river. Very busy area and worth a visit. Staff very friendly and accommodating ❤️

Friendly staff well organised as it was busy

Fantastic place to visit outstanding breakfast real quality. Staff were also a credit to the business

What a fantastic little cafe. Al fresco seating, and if you prefer inside seating. We had the tea for two, beacon roll, cheese 🧀 and ham toastie with a portion of fries on the side very tasty. Staff were welcoming, friendly, helpful and polite. Good quick service in beautiful surroundings.

First visit to riverside cafe today, food was lovely and had lots of options, staff were very friendly and assertive and the cafe was very clean and had lovely views of the river. Very reasonable priced! They were also dog friendly and sold doggy icecream which was fantastic as a dog owner! Very happy and will definitely be back!

Great experience. food was lovely and the staff were great! Very reasonable with prices! I will definitely be back and I Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the river to check this cafe out!

Nice and clean premises. Service a bit slow, but worth the wait as the food was superb. Will visit again.

Lovely for light lunches. Located just off the river so you can still see the lovely view if sat outside but not too busy like the other cafe located closer to the river. Price was expected and the roasties were lovely.

Great cafe by the river. Nothing fancy just good breakfast/ lunch options at a reasonable price. Some lovely cakes/ milkshakes and ice cream too. friendly staff.

Called in on spec for breakfast so glad we did. Lovely place lovely food lovely staff

We went yesterday and had the sandwich of the day with chips and salad and it was excellent.The cafe is lovely ,the prices good ,the staff very friendly.This cafe is well worth a visit if your in knaresborough.

Really good food and efficient service in ideal settings! Staff were really friendly and accommodating. The gentleman working at the front was doing a really good job of getting customers seated. We had jacket potato ,cheese and beans which was £9+ which is a bit expensive but good location and friendly atmosphere so don’t mind it. Not a complaint, just an observation:)

Friendly staff. Lovely breakfast

Very friendly staff and good food with a varied menu. Nice location near to Mother Shiptons Cave and the river.

We called in because they advertise a GF menu. I ordered a sandwich, the bread was a little stale. The wife and kids really enjoyed their lunch. Great spot too. Service impeccable.

New owners, new decor, same good food and service. Dog friendly and nice atmosphere. Great outdoor seating area with potato heaters and umbrellas

Cycle friendly cafe. Very good choice of food and great location. Still a good destination for food and drink. Great setting near the river.

Food de-lish-ous Staff lovely 😍

I’m glad they’re changing hands … no more triangular fish … hopefully the food will improve

Had lunch here to day (8/1/23) and was very impressed. Staff were very friendly and the service was great / quick. The food was really good; we went for the Chilli (home cooked) with chips and a panini. All very nice and a large pot of tea for two cost £20, which seemed excellent value, especially given the portion sizes. Can definitely recommend 👍🏼

Amazing food, great prices and very friendly staff. All the food we ate was local and it was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed it so much that it's become a regular for us, visiting at least once a week

Quite a nice little spot on the river, has amazing views; not many seats inside, and unfortunately got my food wrong which was disappointing

Nice and cosy little cafe. The food is delicious and the coffee is really nice. The Staff are very considerate and kind. Will be back, because is family friendly.

Small cozy and very dog friendly cafe with fantastic views and smily welcoming and hospitable owners. Absolutely outstanding food and atmosphere. Huge bonus for being dog friendly. Definitely recommend this place if your visiting this area. Thank you

Great cafe and great bacon sandwich and coffee Highly recommended and dog friendly. X thanks Still as good as previous visit ..if not better. Lovely and friendly service.

Coffee and food are good/reasonable, but sadly lacking in the service side. Coffees were delivered to the table in around 5 minutes, lunch though I waited 30 minutes and then had to go check at the counter, told 3-5 minutes, zero apologies and and none when the waitress got it to the table. A very poor first impression..

Great little cafe. Really friendly and efficient despite it being a busy Saturday lunchtime. Food was first-rate and decent value for money.

Been here had the experience I could not recommend this cafe to buy ice cream from as the portions are quite small in the tubs and very little value for money and it's overrated. Customer service is okay as with everything could improve over time. As long as they are busy the feeling I got and I felt the value for money goes out of the window with customer service. Please go and try and see for yourself for me its not worth a second visit.

Called here with my mum couple of weeks ago,The indoor part of the cafe isn't wheelchair user friendly as there's a step.we had to sit outside in the cold.we only had one hot drink,one can of pop and a sausage and egg bap each and it cost over £16 which is a bit pricey! A sausage bap is £4.95 but then they have a cheek to charge you a pound extra to put an egg in it. Wouldn't visit again

Amazing cafe, the food is excellent, the staff adorable and so accommodating… dog friendly as well! Would highly recommend this place when visiting knaresborough

Great location right next to the river. Very friendly staff & good selection on menu. Food was lovely. This cafe has no toilet but there is a public toilet right next door.

I had my 90 odd year old parents with me for a day out in Knaresborough. Stopped at this cafe at 11.30 am to find all tables with a note on saying you couldn't sit there unless you ate off the menu. We only wanted...

Was ok .Food took a long time and it was only 2 sandwiches.

We walked along the river from our caravan park, 25 mins they said to Knaresborough, well the walk was incredible so beautiful people are so fortunate to live along the lane with such views it took around 45 mins, and with the Riverside cafe very near the end of the lane it was truly welcome, a lovely cuppa ahhhh...snacks available kids watered and fed we continued our journey, definitely worth a look and sample the food, relaxing watch folk walking by.....

Friendly, comfortable and the sandwiches were great.

Great cafe by the river in lovely underrated Knaresborough. Been here a couple of times now. Perfect little find for a stop-off on our holiday trips from South to North along the M1! Tasty food, good choice and portion size. Staff all very accommodating and friendly.

Very nice Aberdeen Angus burger, topped with bacon, and a cheese to which I have forgotten. But it was all decent for the money. Would drop in again, welcomed the shade from the crazy weather.

Delicious vegetarian breakfast ! Oat and soya alternatives available . Reasonably priced especially given the great location !! And possibly the most polite waiter I’ve met !! Would highly recommend 😊

Me and my husband enjoyed a morning in knaresborough, we went to the river side cafe for breakfast so we could enjoy the views and we weren't disappointed. The staff were friendly, the views were amazing and the food was delicious. Would recommend 100%

What an awful manager. Couldn't wait to move us on and then when we did go made a rude comment. Also the food was poor

I was about 12 when I last came here (32 years ago) I remember cycling from Harrogate one Sunday morning. Despite living in Knaresborough I've not been since, until today. I went for one of the specials which was a hot pork, apple and stuffing...

Lovely little place friendly staff

I was about 12 when I last came here (32 years ago) I remember cycling from Harrogate one Sunday morning. Despite living in Knaresborough I've not been since, until today. I went for one of the specials which was pork, apple and stuffing in a nice big roll, rammed with filling plus a portion of chips, it was lovely 👍🏼

We visited today 8th July. Service was efficient despite it being quite busy at lunchtime. Partner had the cheeseburger and chips. Cheese was plentiful and he said it was one of the nicest burgers hes had.Chips were hot and crispy. I had a bacon roll...

We visited this lovely Cafe situated by the river Nidd in Knaresborough. The food was excellent, the staff very friendly and it was great value for money. We will certainly be eating there again.

Just had Christmas dinner here with cycling friends - fantastic. Also recommended for cycling coffee stops. Lovely people run the café too.

Great little find. Fantastic location really nice coffee and bacon rolls. Food cooked fresh while you wait and dog friendly. Sit in take way or sit outside.

Great small dog 🐕 friendly cafe . Great coffee and warm scones 🤗 yum yum .

Firstly after spending £54 on food and drinks, which was all served on disposable plates and paper cups. £4.50 for milkshake in a small paper cup was terrible. I ordered a cheeseburger, which came with a massive amount of melted cheese all over the plate,...

Lovely cafe and a great setting .We used to visit regularly but sadly they now use paper cups and plates . Aside from the fact that I don’t enjoy drinking out of a paper cup ,it must surely produce a pile of rubbish every day...

Best roast pork sandwich I ever tasted I he calling here again when we come back to visit

Disappointed not as good as it used to be, scone was a cheap shop bought one in my opinion ( menu said home made scones) and when asked for a spoon to take the tea bag out of my paper cup was rudely pointed to the wooden sticks on a nearby table, only nice thing really was the view sorry to say.

Friendly staff, nice food, great location.

Beautiful spot with views of the viaduct. Friendly staff and food was delicious. I had a gluten free cheese and onion toastie with chips and my partner had the roast pork sandwich of the day which he said was outstanding.

Lovely breakfast staff very friendly. *****

There is lots of choice of cafes in Knaresborough but if you like burgers this is a good one to pick they all ways have a choice of burgers including a daily special all the burgers are home made and delicious

Nice place to have a sit. Delicious ice cream.

Stopped here this week, mid morning - we sat outside and the food and drinks arrived on flimsy paper plates which blew away with the wind - not a great experience - }:‑)

Came across this place today, weren't sure if we were going to eat here but were treated so well by all of the staff that we gave it a go. I chose the brie and cranberry beef burger and hubby had the Stilton cheese and...

Great little cafe on a nice walk alongside the River Nidd. A++

This is a lovely little cafe with a view of the river & viaduct. Happy, friendly staff. We went back twice on the same day because my son loved the special hot chocolate so much. There’s a little bit of seating inside, and more outside....

Lovely food . Staff are so nice and welcoming ❤

Great roast pork sandwich, with stuffing and apple sauce.Clean,well rin.Helpful staff.

Always so friendly, vegetarian sausage bap is lovely

Food was delicious and very reasonable prices. Staff were lovely and friendly. Will definitely be back

Lovely coffee and lunch. Great selection and generous portions. Staff friendly and polite . Would recommend

Took a quick trip to Knaresborough (from York) for a breath of fresh air. Stopped off at the Riverside cafe for a snack. Did not have to read the menu as saw thay had hot pork rolls with stuffing and apple sauce. Perfect! Was able...

Good bacon roll and pork sandwich

Good food and service. Great location

I had turkey with stuffing and cranberry roll....delicious . My other half had the festive burger, for him to say he enjoyed it is generally not known. Lovely place, great position and lovely staff

Had a wonderful 4 hours in Knareborough snd stopped at this little waterside cafe for a.much needed hot drink. Lovely service and although we didn't eat there the food looked good.

Un sitio muy acogedor, el personal es muy atento y la comida es de muy buena calidad y a un muy buen precio. Con unas bonitas vistas del río. Si estáis de visita en Knaresborough, sitio 100% recomendable tanto para comer el típico desayuno inglés como para comer.

Great food, very friendly service

Very good staff, excellent food, all with a beautiful background, what more can you ask
