The Black Mulberry in Harrogate - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Went on a BH Monday so maybe it isn't representative of what it is normally like. It took a long time to get served with only 3 people in the queue. The wait for food was 1 hour which seemed a bit much. Staff seemed tired and reluctant to talk, which I understand when it is very busy as it must be a bit draining for them. My coffee was a bit burned and more like a cappuccino than a latte. The interior was quite pleasant. Maybe I'll be back again and give it another go on a less busy day!

Lovely little place on the riverside . Got here at the perfect time,got very busy very quickly. Nice selection on the menu,wife had had scrambled which I was assured was very nice.I Myself had 'all day brunching' consisting of 2 bacon,2 eggs and 2 sausages on sourdough toast ,sprinkling of chopped chives on top,everything cooked perfectly. Flat White for myself and Cappuccino for the wife,which makes a change from some coffee shops to be piping hot. Friendly, welcoming staff,next time we are up this way,will certainly come again.. Fantastic

Nice little place next to the river. Good coffee etc. and breakfast.

We stopped here for a coffee and dessert . Everything was delicious especially the oat cinnamon ice latte. The staff was lovely too.

Half empty. 30 mins+ for a coffee and a water

Suggested on parkrun website for Conygham Hall parkrun which is a short walk from finish through carpark and alongside the river. Standard cafe menu with plenty of choice. Runners can get a special deal of a sausage or bacon bap with a coffee at a special price. Coffee was excellent and the sandwiches were tasty & filling. When I do this parkrun again I’ll be back to the Black Mulberry.

The food was delicious. Although there was no queue for tables, we still had a 45-minute wait for the food to be cooked. Would recommend the Eggs Benny. However, I would still come back. Service personnel were very apologetic for the delay, stating the delay was because of the nearby Great Yorkshire show but I think it was because it was a lovely sunny day in a rather cold and wet British summer.

Fabulous scones and Yorkshire rascal. Staff very friendly, efficient and helpful.

We visited the Black Mulberry on Friday for the Weekend Unwind night. The atmosphere was casual and friendly and the staff were very attentive throughout. The food was good quality and well presented. (The tempura king prawn and mango salad was lovely). Whether it’s just a drink or a meal, if you are on Waterside on a Friday evening I recommend calling in.

We called here for brunch , then breakfast the following day . Food was really lovely , and a good price . Staff really friendly , made to feel welcome . The carrot cake was to die for !!!!! . Would definitely recommend . Thanku guys

Stopped by for a coffee and cake, had a piece of toasted banana bread with butter. OMG it was the best banana cake I've ever had anywhere, I didn't want it to end, absolutely delicious. Staff very friendly, can't wait to go again.

My wife and I enjoyed a very pleasant and reasonably priced lunch here. The lady at the till was lovely too - remaining calm and friendly despite having a problem taking cashless payments at the time. Would recommend.

Excellent choice of breakfast/brunch dishes with a very well run service. Both our choices were delicious and we will definitely return next time we're in Knaresborough.

Great food with a relaxing atmosphere

The food is good the staff are fantastic.... but all the dogs and their owners are awful. Barking dogs and some sat on the seats .... hideous. I feel so sorry for the hardworking staff.

The place was busy but the service remained good.

Although we went on a Sunday which was very busy the staff managed tables very quickly and efficiently and we were seated with ease. The cakes and coffee were served quickly, coffee was lovely and I enjoyed my scone, my partner wasn’t a big fan of the cake but that is down to preference. Toilets were clean and overall I would go back again for some coffee :)

The cafe overlooks was river Nidd and considering its location we found it reasonably priced and the food was excellent. We had a couple of toasted ciabatta sandwiches with chips which were very nice. I also recommend the homemade lemonade. The staff were also friendly and our food arrived earlier that we were told.

Great little spot to stop for food with a great view of the river, and really lovely friendly folks who run in. Highly recommended 😎🙏

Super welcoming (thank you to Dawn) and super gluten free! Today we had egg and bacon gluten free sandwich and a pot of te. My regular eating friend ha d regular crumpets with butter all very much enjoyed. Our second visit. We will be back.

Stopped here for breakfast yesterday during my dog walk. Dog friendly inside and outside, friendly staff and delicious food. Will definitely return!

A lovely little spot overlooking the river Nidd in Knaresborough, lots of seating, a little overpriced, but quite pleasant,!!!

Searching for a lunch on a cold Monday, many places in Knaresborough were either closed or just didn’t attract us. We really found an excellent place at the Black Mulberry. Smoked salmon pate (obviously home made) and smoked salmon and scrambled eggs perfectly done. Simple food well done, just what you want. Thank yo

The Black Mulberry has always a favourite place to go for breakfast but if possible it just got better with the introduction of the BM Big Bap to the menu! 😋 Awesome way to start the day, accompanied by the delicious coffee ☕️ Try it - you won’t regret it! 😁

Very friendly restaurant, staff made you feel welcome. Breakfast very good quality, hot and reasonably priced for the fabulous location overlooking the water.

Stopped for brunch on a sunny spring day by the river. The “Eggs Benny” were simply sublime with the poached eggs cooked to perfection and the hollandaise sauce properly warm (unlike some places where it can often be cold by the time it’s served). Staff are very friendly, and sound happy in their work. Would definitely return if coming back to Knaresborogh.

Great facilities, really nice staff and lovely food. A nice variety of cakes and more substantial lunches. The coffee was also lovely!! Also lovely view of the river!

Very nice little cafe . Attentive friendly staff . Lovely coffee .

Amazing breakfast, lovely views and friendly staff. Super place for brunch with fresh produce and great choice. We loved it

Gorgeous little cafe with excellent food. The staff were so lovely and inviting. Will certainly be returning.

Another fabulous lunch with great food. We were lucky, being a party of 7, but were quickly accommodated. It's really good, and we'll definitely be back again.

We just had a lovely meal and a few drinks as a young family tonight. We saw it was open later on a Friday and gave it a go and we are so glad we did! The staff were lovely and very inviting (even with an 10 month old!) the cocktails were delicious and the food was too! It was a great atmosphere for an evening. We will definitely be back again!

Dog friendly cafe with fantastic service and the coffee was lovely and the double burger was amazing

Gorgeous spot overlooking the river Nidd. Outside seating with blankets available for frosty weather. Normally provide waitress service but the day I visit the iPad wasn't working, not that walking up to the counter was a problem given the cosy size of the cafe. They did a very reasonable parkrun deal of a hot drink and a bap for £5, accommodating my veggie request with eggs. Not sure whether there would be a vegan option or not. They charged 20p extra for oatmilk which is a lot less than most places but that was for an American so a latte might have been the usual 50p I guess. There was quite a selection of breakfast offerings and quite a few cakes to choose from. The coffee was very good quality and bag available to buy to take home.

A very friendly cafe and dogs are welcome. They have the best toasted teacakes and the coffee is steaming hot, just how I like it. The new toilets are excellent, very clean and modern. I would highly recommend 👌

Great place to have a brew and a bite to eat.

Good, tasty food and generous portions. Fantastic service from lovely staff. Also made a fuss of my dog and gave him treats. We will definitely be back.

Dropped in for a latte, very good coffee and friendly service

Had delicious coffee and cakes here. Reasonably priced and staff are very friendly and efficient

Food was good, service was poor and the woman was quite rude and impatient which made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Unlikely to return as good customer service is so important.

Best scrambled eggs! Great place for brunch 👍

Really great place, nice coffee , helpful staff who also kindly gave us some hints of what and where to go when we visited Knaresborough

Very friendly staff, great location. The cheesy beans are highly recommended!

Lovely breakfast, super service, nice staff would definitely recommend 😉👍

My favourite cafe in Knaresborough. Always friendly service and good food - it is a real treat to enjoy a coffee outside by the river when the weather is good.

Had a lovely brunch here for my partner's birthday. I had a bacon and egg bap and he had a bacon bap, lovely tasting good quality food. Coffee was lovely too, they had oat milk and syrups, can't want much more than that !

Lovely cafe down by the river, really friendly staff located in the heat of the Nidd Gorge

Took my friend on Tuesday it was her birthday. We just called for a drink on her surprise trip out . The staff were so kind came with the best chocolate brownie we have ever had with a candle and sang happy birthday to her . A lovely cafe with all home cooked cakes scones and great meals We will be back next time for lunch Thank you so much for helping to make her day special

Great food, great service, great location. Very reasonably priced too! We will definitely return if we are in the area again

Very friendly, dog friendly. Good breakfast

Usual breakfast choices served hot to your table fairly quickly by happy friendly staff. It looked the best of the riverside brekkie places.

Another wonderful place for food and atmosphere! Outstandingly good food and prices and right next to the river! Can't wait to go again!! 😁👍

Magic, friendly and attentive staff and great food and epic location. Our dog was welcome and enjoyed her sausage (part of the menu☺️) will definitely be back again soon we hope

Great Sunday brunch in riverside setting

Great food and very friendly staff, service was quick and the wait for a table wasn’t long only a few minutes. This place is a gem

Stopped by here for brunch before setting off home after a couple of days in Knaresborough. What a find it was, lovely spot by the river, really friendly staff who made a fuss of our dog and best of all, lovely food. Wish we had found it sooner and we will definitely be back.

A dog friendly cafe at the side of the River Nidd at Knarsborough. The food is freshly made and tastes good too. It's all on one level so it is accessible to wheelchairs and family friendly too, they are happy to provide hot water to heat babies bottles and have high chairs as well. There isn't a carpark on site but there is a public carpark fairly close by.

Visited on a very busy Sunday with crazy weather and had a fantastic time. I had a perfectly cooked jacket potato and my Mum had the angus burger which was also 10/10 - both had tasty side salads. We sat outside on comfortable seating with a great view of the water. The staff were all really warm and on top of all that it's really dog friendly! Will definitely be returning in the not-too-distant future!

Lovely cafe, great location and friendly staff. The food was the best food we've eaten out in a very long time. Great value for a main and a drink at just under £10 each. I had the fish chowder and it was amazing! Can absolutely recommend. My husband had the nachos (no chilli) and again it was above and beyond expectations. Quality produce, quality food, great value. You can tell the chef is talented with great flavours and textures and takes real pride in what they serve to their guests. We will definitely be back and will bring friends next time so they can also try the amazing food! We'll done Black Mulberry ❤

Good selection of vegan options, and staff were knowledgable about gluten free food. I had a sandwich with gluten free bread and some delicious fresh soup :) Would love to see soya milk available, as oat milk is not gluten free :( EDIT: the oat milk is gluten free!! look forward to trying a coffee next time :)

Went for our first Black Mulberry Burger Night! Absolutely delicious, not to be missed. We had ‘The Elvis’ and ‘The Porker’ with generous sides of chips and onion rings. Friendly, attentive service and will definitely be back again!

Lovely spot overlooking the river. Friendly place, good standard lunch menu (sandwiches, baked potato, soup etc) and good value.

Second visit, fabulous food both savoury and sweet and reasonably priced.

Dog friendly, really friendly and helpful staff and nice atmosphere. We sat outside and although the view of the river Nidd is blocked, it was still nice to people watch. We had a tuna cheese melt which was delicious, a cherry blondie which was nice but a bit small (maybe that's just me) and some coffees. We also got a dog sausage, which seemed like a whole cooked sausage which had been cut up. It was hot which wasn't ideal for the dog but she ate it all!

Lovely place good food very friendly staff highly recommend

Came here today by chance after having a bad experience at The Ugly Duckling.Hubby had the breakfast muffin which he said was perfect and I had toasted banana bread which was the best I have tasted.We both had cappuccinos which were delicious.The waitress who served us was extremely pleasant and friendly as was the young girl who asked how our food was.We will definitely be back here as it was really lovely food and service!!

Good service & decent food. Staff are lovely

Very traditional little cafe, not something I usually go for but everything minus oat milk (didn’t froth properly, which made latte into watery americano) was very nice. Location is cute and they have some lovely staff!

The food was okay but the pasta salad or mayonnaise in the BLT gave my sister horrible food poisoning that has lasted for over a day, additionally the bread in all of the sandwiches was old and stale tasting. However the homemade Yorkshire rascal was delicious.

This place is a little gem on waterside, lovely freshly cooked food and the staff are friendly and attentive, very relaxing with views of the river.

Lovely cafe overlooking the river, polite service and good selection of food. Would recommend a visit.

Lovely cafe with a wonderful atmosphere. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and a great choice of cakes and drinks. All with a wonderful view. Would highly recommend.

Post parkrun fuel stop. What better way to celebrate.

Stopped by for a coffee ☕ which was very good, food that others were enjoying well presented & looked nice. Wide variety of breakfast options available until late morning then lunch is on offer. Outdoor & indoor seating, great location to soak up the setting. 😁👍

Went with our granddaughter and the staff were brilliant.

Really friendly service and great food.

Just popped in with my family for tea and cake it was delicious

The chocolate cake is to die for

Great cafe on the River front. Cycle friendly, lovely staff and a great cup of coffee with a cake for £4. 👍

A lovely little cafe overlooking the river where we had a very enjoyable light lunch served by a friendly, efficient waitress..

Lovely food I had the smoked salmon chowder which was delicious. The place is small and there was a little wait but staff were friendly and the atmosphere is lovely. It was also dog friendly which is definitely a plus when travelling with a pooch

U3A cycling group had a nice stop there very fast service 😀

Great place to sit outside opposite the river. Great cakes, try the Yorkshire Rascal. Good choice of drinks and snacks.

A welcoming, friendly cafe by the beautiful Knaresborough River Nidd, nice cinnamony tea cake & sausage sandwiches all eaten. The Lovely ladies serving made it worth the busyness and short wait for a table. Good views of the bridge and boats.

Really good quality food to suit everyone friendly helpful staff fair prices would recommend trying 👍

Nice little cafe with friendly staff

Favourite place in Knaresborough but PLEASE keep your savoury pancakes on the menu!

Friendly Staff. Dog made welcome. A little tight when busy.

Had a lovely breakfast! Staff were very accommodating!

Lovely little café. Enjoyed our meal. Was quite reasonably priced as well.

Loved the food here. I usually sit outside to admire the views but the weather forced us inside. Due to hard surfaces, tables and floor, the noise levels are high. This happens in a lot of cafe's and restaurants. It certainly doesn't deter me though as it's a lovely place to visit. Their sandwich selection is great and we enjoyed those we had. Definitely recommend 👌

Lovely brekkie with great coffee and friendly staff.

Me and my partner really enjoyed our lunch here, we had the bacon, Brie and cranberry panini & the tuna melt panini - both really tasty! The coffee was very good and service was great.

Excellent food and coffee. Sit outside on a clear day, relax and watch the world go by. The sweetcorn fritters are brilliant.

A nice little cafe on the Knaresborough waterside. Certainly our top choice in the area. Despite it being really busy on our last visit, we did manage to get a table inside. However, the blankets with the outdoor seating is a nice touch at this time of year. Good service. Good food. Recommended.

We had a mediocre latte and cappuccino, sorry.

Great place nice staff fantastic food n dog friendly
