The Terrace Tea Room in Craven

It was like a trip back in time, waitress service. We had a cappuccino and a cafetiere with slices of Bakewell tart. Whoever iced the tart had been very heavy handed which made it too sweet. Very busy when we went on Wednesday. Reasonable prices.

Lovely place to eat tasty food good portions for prices. Nice staff.

The food is very good you will be full when you come out. So just give it a try.if you order the jacket potato look out they are big.

Brie and bacon baguette was excellent, chips tasty and service was good too, little bit of a wait but worth it

Good food and extremely friendly staff. Nice location with lift access if necessary.

Nice . Huge portions. Bit expensive for a cafe.always busy.popular with locals and tourists.all made fresh to order.not clear if table or counter service bought out wrong side dish.

Staff were polite and friendly, the food was of a good standard, the environment was pleasant and welcoming.

Great service and friendly staff, gluten free aswell.

Nice pleasant tea room in craven court skipton.

My wife and I had Lunch in this cafe and the food was great, I will be definitely going back for lunch next time I'm in Skipton.

Very nice cafe. The location is amazing. Lots of nice independent shops in Craven Court. The menu here is extensive. Something for everyone! I went for a jacket potato with cheese and a side salad. The potato was a little on the firm side for me. There is a lift to the mezzanine level.

Always a friendly place to visit.

Very nice yummy food Nice tea very nice service very friendly scrumptiously delicious food

Lovely place to sit:outside, inside kind of place. Didn’t eat, but hubby says tea was great and I had one of the best iced coffees I’ve ever had. Lady the took my order was friendly and had a great sense of humour. I left with a smile on my face :-)

The terrace is a lovely cafe. The staff are polite and helpful. The food is amazing with a wide variety of cakes, which are just amazing. Would definitely recommend 👍🏼

Shane or Shaun was a fantastic waiter . Heidi and David ( we had omelette and chips)

Eten was ok, afruiming tafel gebeurde pas nadat onze drank werd geserveerd.

To be fair, it was one of the few places open on Boxing Day and the staff were working there backsides off but unfortunately I can’t give it too much more in terms of positivity. Cappuccino was…well coffee, the decaf that we ordered wasn’t decaf, Scrambled eggs were fine but that’s about the end of it. Tea cake and scone were heated and ok…I think the least that is said the better. 3 stars for the staff working on Boxing Day

I love that place is very nice and warm environment and the workers there is very friendly and polite I order 2 coffee's and chocolate cake delicious.

Lovely food, perfect poached eggs with runny yolks and firm whites, generous portions and beautiful setting 😁

Good wholesome food and great service. A must visit!

Fantastic food, great service. Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. Can totally recommend 👌

Met friends for coffee, went back for lunch

Shrimp were very undercooked in the prawn marie rose sandwich.

We always have dinner at the Tearoom when ever we are in Skipton. Foods very good and the staff are very welcoming.

A full breakfast to die for. Great service and staff.

Nice food well priced with good service.

God food, friendly staff, very reasonably priced, very clean

Excellent service and quality food .

Lovely little place and breakfast was Awesome my first real breakfast in 10 yrs as I live in Canada now

Clean and tidy, friendly staff, bang average food.

Hot chocolate with Baileys. Superb taste that's different . First time I've ever experienced that. Would highly recommend.

Excellent service and friendly staff. I had the small breakfast with a pot of tea-absolutely lovely. Will definitely be visiting again!

Friendly and efficient staff. We had the wraps for lunch, they were served with salad and chips. They were both delicious. Definitely worth a return visit.

Coffee, hot chocolate , slice of cake and scone with cream & jam - £14.39 .Coffee - luke warm ( did send it back and a fresh one came with an apology).Hot chocolate - luke warm .Slice of Victoria sandwich cake - claggy , dense and far too sweet.Fruit scone - hard and dry Sandwiches , jackets and salads looked lovely though so may return to try these.Nice setting and friendly staff .

We called here for elevenses one morning after going round Skipton Castle. Our visit was only a very brief one and we would like to have stayed longer, as the cafe looked attractive and the staff were friendly. As the name implies, the cafe occupies the upstairs terrace of Skipton's beautifully restored Victorian market hall, now renamed and rebranded as Craven Court. The setting really is magnificent. There's both indoor and outdoor (i.e. terrace) seating, and there's plenty of room for everyone.

Our second visit, we can't fault this cafe,the customer service is excellent ,friendly well mannered staff, the food was really good we both ordered hot baguettes that came with plenty of filling, the chips were good as was the salad not forgetting the coffee ! there's also a terrace which is actually covered and this area is great for bringing your dog, all in all a nice experience.hoping to call in again when we visit

I visited The Terrace Tea Room yesterday and the chilli jacket potatoes were delicious! The setting is so lovely and the staff are sooo friendly as well. We didn’t try any of the cakes but they all looked fab so I’m sure they tasted just as good. The water melon slice on the salad was really good as well! Never thought of putting it with salad before but it went really well together. Will deffo be visiting again soon x

Great sta ff ,food excellent always enjoy lunch there..There's good choice on the menu something for everyone Would highly recommend. P.mulligan.

We visited Skipton on Sunday via a coach trip. We found this cafe straight after alighting from our coach; we were allowed to use the toilet before ordering food/drink, which was much appreciated.Toilets were clean and pristine.Social distancing and covid measures are all adhered to within the establishment,All of the team were professional and attentive, always smiling, and it was great to observe such an efficient and cohesive team. I enjoyed a beautiful copious pot of yorkshire tea. Excellent value for money!We will definately visit this establishment if we were to visit Skipton again :)

Had a lovely late lunch last Friday. Great location on the terrace of a wee shopping centre. The ladies were so friendly the food was scrumptious. Fish & Chips, all day breakfasts and an absolutely gorgeous large Yorkshire pudding stuffed with beef and a great creamy mash . Service, food and setting just great

Went to this cafe for lunch one Wednesday afternoon, the food was very good and so was the service. I would also recommend the strawberry milkshake made with ice cream it is delicious. We would visit again next time in Skipton.

Wonderful pleasant service Great meal Coffee with shot Not expensive Lovely staff Very pleasant Excellent

When we arrived here the lady told us we could grab a seat on the terrace and explained it would be self service out here so we would need to go in to order, fine. Five minutes later she saunters across and asks if she can clean our table - fine, apart from the fact she sprayed myself and my partner with the anti bad spray and flicked crumbs all over me, lovely!! We ordered two bacon sandwiches and 2 coffees, for £17 I was highly disappointed, no butter on the bread, or if there was butter it was minimal! The bacon was awful and so fatty! The bread was brown and you were given no choice in that area... Left really upset we didn’t just nip in to greggs! Thought we would try something different, never again, I’d say avoid if you’re after a nice bacon sandwich that doesn’t break the bank!

I have to admit, I found it very cold sitting outside even though it is still under covering, in fact I wore a woolly hat!Both my ma and I had a latte, she had an almond slice and I had the lemon cake. They were both large slices, but if I'm honest they were nothing special.The best part is where you are, inside a quaint little shopping mall which is perfect for people watching.The staff were nice and the prices were reasonable, not much more to ask for me thinks.

We ended up at the Tea Rooms after being unable to get in anywhere else as it was busy and we hadn’t pre-booked.I had a simple cheese omelette which was very hot, very tasty and plenty of it. The ham sandwich was pretty good, a lot of ham and a decent salad. The red wine was a bit disappointing but I was in a cafe and not as wine bar so what could I expect.The service considering the current situation was very good. All round it was a good early afternoon snack.

Expensive for what it was, although it is in a nice courtyard setting. Went there yesterday, my wife had the 'homemade' steak pie, which turned out to be a mass produced mince meat one. I had the 3 bean vegetarian chilli, which was delicious although short of liquor. However, it grumbled for the next 7 hours until I eventually threw it all up. Won't be returning. Enough said.

We came here on the final day of the Eat out to help out scheme. We actually enjoyed our meal but no names or phone numbers were taken for track and trace and on going to pay we were told the manager had decided Not to do eat out to help out just on that day. Even though they had signed up to the scheme and partaken in it for the rest of the time and advertised it on their Facebook page. We wouldn't have gone here if we had known this.

Like many others I took my family to The Terrace Tea Room, Skipton after seeing it was advertised on the government website, Eat out to Help out and also was advertised on its own website as being part of the scheme. After our lunch we had a hefty bill as the manager stated he does not want to be a part of the scheme anymore. It was the last day which we wanted to take advantage of. The food was over priced for what you got and there are much more reasonable and pleasant places to eat in Skipton. We ordered 3 teas but got just a small jug of milk there was hardly enough. Not a place I will be returning to.

My toasties and chips and partners sausage buttie both tasted amazing! Cafe in a great location and very big with lots of tables. All socially distanced well.

We were looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite of lunch. We were in the shopping arcade and decided to give the tearoom a try.I had a hot baguette and it was a good sized portion. Staff were cleaning tables and removing dirty crockery quickly. The place was set out well for social distancing.I had two quibbles really. One was a pile of old chairs stacked up next to seating area with a sign saying that they were for sale. It looked very untidy and was off putting when it was next to your table. The other gripe was the prices seemed a little higher than other places in town for the same (or similar) items. However we actively chose to eat there so paying those prices was down to eat.

When our toasted tea cake and crumpets arrived the butter was solid like it had just come out of the freezer. We put it next to our warm drinks but this did not soften it so I went inside to ask for some butter which hadn’t been in the fridge by which time the food had gone cold. I said whilst asking for more butter that my crumpets were now cold and the two members of staff there gave me some more butter but there was no offer to either warm the food or make some more. My husband ate his cold tea cake but didn’t enjoy it and I only ate one crumpet. Why put butter out which is not spreadable. The table we sat at still had used plates on it and when they were taken away, the table was not wiped. Won’t go back again.

Wandering into Craven Court we followed the signs to the tea room, the landing terrace tables looked inviting but we wandered into the cafe. A lovely friendly welcome from staff and such an attractive setting. We were only here for coffee but tempted by the enormous scones there is a good menue for snacks and meals too. The service was excellent and we would recommend the tea rooms any time you visit Skipton

If you’re lucky enough to go there on a sunny day , the play of light lends a bit of magic to the place. It’s big and relaxing and good for a quiet afternoon out.

we arrived and found a table quickly the staff were nice and did not rush us. good menu and priced at what to expect. will go again

Just popped in here for a quick lunch. I chose the homemade soup of the day and wasn't sorry. It was delicious and had some fantastic bread along with it. Really filled the bill.

We had our first visit to the Terrace on Saturday 1st Feb,We got the lift up there from the lower precinct and when we entered the cafe it was very busy inside and quite noisy.Looking at the menu some items are Very expensive such as the Jacket potatoes at £7.95 Ok so the cafe has overheads but the profit margin must be huge.We had a sausage sandwich plus a bacon and black pudding sandwich plus a cheese and pickle baguette.All were a generous size and very tasty.Some people near us were having pie chips and peas and these meals looked very big.We reccomend to sit round the corner from the main door to be warmest plus the toilets are upstairs but the stairs were easy to climb and carpeted but a nice lady staff member told us customers can use the staff loo.s at cafe level.We will come again!

Called here for toasted tea cakes and hot chocolate. Quick pleasant service and good food and drink.

Called in late afternoon on a breezy wet afternoon, lovely choice of food, gluten free well catered for, nicely presented and very friendly staff, will definitely return

We called into Skipton over the New Year and seeing The Pie and Mash shop was closed ?? we had noticed The Terrace Tea Room in a lovely arcade whilst walking around the town, so as it was almost lunchtime, we went in.We were not dissappointed, the staff were very friendly, and the food was very good and at a very reasonable price.

Lovely warm scone with proper fresh cream and a very tasty home made soup. Very nice food and coffee. Thank you

We called at Skipton on a drive home from a stay in York and are early start on a crisp winter morning meet we call in to skipton for a bit to eat, we decided on a nice looking tea rooms in a lovely arcade called craven Court just off the Main Street in the middle of the town centre.

Food was delicious good portion size and latte was lovely !! Staff was very polite aswell !! Food was hot and so was our drinks they were hot aswell the cakes look very delicious but I was to full from my baguette and chips !!

Went tonight for a hot chocolate with the children, was asked to take a seat and someone will take our order. We was sat down for a good 10-15 minutes and nobody bothered taking our order. There was around 6 staff just chatting away to each other at the tills. Fair to say we got up and left to find somewhere more willing to serve people.

Don’t know Skipton all that well and found this arcade and cafe by chance. As soon as we walked through the door, we were greeted and offered a choice of tables / seating areas.

A place that heads lovely friendly staff, good coffee and delicious cakes. We didn't feel rushed and it was a great place to relax after a hectic time shopping. Would recommend some time out spent here.

A few members of staff rude , not polite or welcoming , but the coffee and cakes that we had was lovely

Visited for breakfast as often go here for coffee & cake. When I ordered breakfast waitress said I needed to reel the full order off all at once as otherwise she would have to keep starting again. I was ordering extra bits and bobs so thought best order those at end e.g full breakfast with extra egg & toast etc. Waitress was very abrupt & told me 3 times I had ordered incorrectly. When breakfast arrived I had fried egg, in the confusion of ordering I think I had forgot to say scrambled for my order. I politely asked the waitress if I could change the fried egg to scrambled. She looked very annoyed and said "well you can but it will be a while as he is cooking other people's now". I said this was fine I didn't mind waiting so she took my breakfast back to the kitchen. When she went back to the kitchen I could see her from where i was sat and she looked like she was having a good rant about the egg! She then returned after only a few minutes with my breakfast with scrambled egg. She said "I have been told to tell you that you will have to pay 50p for the egg as the fried one has had to be thrown away" I must admit I was shocked but said ok I will pay the 50p. She didn't then walk away but stayed stood next to the table, I said "sorry do you want the 50p now", to which she replied "yes please" so I had to fumble through my bag whilst breakfast now going cold! We tried to leave feedback regarding the whole ordeal and the waitress got the owner to come out as she said it was him who had asked me to pay for the egg. He was just as rude, would not let me speak and swore in front of other customers. Due to the treatment we received we sadly will not be returning. Also paid £3.80 for 4 slices of toast (toast comes as an extra not included in price of breakfast), which I think is ridiculous. Such a shame that rude staff are ruining what was and could still be a nice cafe.

We went here for the first time with visiting family the other day and were so impressed we went back there at the end of their stay. A pretty extensive menu and almost all of us ordered different things. The food came quickly, was freshly cooked and tasted lovely. Everybody was delighted with our visit and the friendly way we were treated

Been here before and had OK experience, but today was very odd. Arrived just after 9:30 which is opening time, tables outside were set, some were full of dirty pots and one had customers drinking, but the door was shut and a "we are closed" signs on the door. We walked away, seemed very strange.

We decided to grab a bit of an early lunch here as we passed through Craven Court. It looked quaintly decorated, the menu was good and prices were fairly cheap. We sat next to the window, the place was empty apart from us so we could've sat anywhere really but we like a bit of people watching! I was pregnant at the time so a bit fussy with what I ate - I ordered the soup of the day which, when it came out, was a beautifully thick broth full of chunky veg and barley - it was lovely! The thing that let the place down for us was the awkwardness! Once she'd taken our order, the waitress went and stood at the bar that was directly opposite our table, just stood there, facing us! She left to get our food when it was ready but then once again returned to her spot right next to us! This wouldn't have been so bad if there had been others eating there too, or some music playing but it was stone quiet! So the whole time there we felt rather uncomfortable! Hence we didn't stay to order any of the lovely cakes on the menu. I would definitely recommend for the food but perhaps choose your seat more wisely!

Visited earlier today with my girlfriend for the 2 sandwiches for £12 when bought with a drink as advertised outside the cafe. Was charged £20 and when I said the board outside says £12 plus drinks the waitress was very rude and said well you didnt ask. As you can see from the photo the board doesnt say you need to ask. When asked to refund the extra the waitress was still trying to stop me having the deal advertised and was huffing and puffing as if it was such an incovenience. As I walked away she said you wont be getting salad on that deal. Overall average food. Much better places elsewhere.

Stopped for a coffee mid morning and returned for lunch just after 1pm. Short staffed but those who were there were friendly and obliging even though they were very busy. Tried to order fish and chips but they had run out of fish and not even busy! Come on chef, get a grip! Ended up with a chicken pie and a ham sandwich, both of which were very nice. Good value and nice to see the ladies loos have been given a facelift since our last visit. Would recommend.

Lovely cafe overlooking the Craven Court shopping arcade. Plenty of seating inside and covered seating outside. Pleasant friendly staff and good service. Lots to choose from, enjoyed a prawn marie rose open sandwich, well presented with fresh salad and lots of prawns, plus good coffee.Also a small area with items for sale. Felt very relaxed, well worth a visit.

We found this little tea room by chance and it is in a nice quiet courtyard. I had a chicken baguette with stuffing and my husband had a roast been and gravy baguette. They were delicious and had plenty of meat and filling. They were reasonably priced and with a lovely cup of tea made a very filling lunch.

Pleasant cafe with seats overlooking the Craven Court shopping Arcade. Its very relaxing. Friendly staff and good products on offer

Lunch was superb. The tearoom is in Craven Court a shopping arcade in Skipton. You can sit inside the tearoom or 'outside' on the terrace. Extensive menu. We ordered a bacon baguette with apple sauce, a prawn marie rose open sandwich, Victoria sponge and coffee cake with a pot of tea for two. Everything was delicious and the staff were professional and friendly. Newspapers available to read if you wish.

We called in for coffee and cake whilst on a day visit to Skipton. Situated within the mall it seemed to be very busy and a popular meeting place for locals which is always a good sign. The staff were very friendly, coffee hot and freshly made and the Coffee Cake was yummy.

I visited here with my mum for mid-week lunch.

Stumbled across this when casually shopping. Sits at the back of the arcade the entrance to which isjust off the main street. Really friendly helpfull staff. Called initially just for a cup of tea but could not resist the loveley cakes on offer. Great selection for a treat with your brew. Very reasonable. Positioned upstairs with outside seating on the outside. Ideal inclemant weather option as covered in with the arcade.

Had the best poached eggs ever...bacon done to perfection..lovely friendly staff..will certainly go again

Popped in for lunch, place nice and environment, very busy which is a good sign. The food was okay, nothing wrong at all, i think the presentation of the meal let it down actually if im honest. The food looked nice but was squeezed onto a very small plate almost child size. The portion size was fine and i think it was done this way to appear larger but would have been better on bigger plate with same size portion as very difficult to eat without spilling on the table. More flexibility on slight changes to food choice would help also as very rigid. Staff friendly and in a nice little area to people watch.

I had a cheese and onion toastie, very yummy, but was slightly jealous when the two people I was with got their fish and chips - they looked bloomin yummy indeed!! And very good value when quoting the deal advertised on the boards outside the shopping arcade. Also highly recommend the coffee cake!

We were enticed into this tea room from a special offer advertised on the high street. We found a delightful arcade with some really interesting independent shops.

Only popped in for a cuppa but decided to stay for lunch.....lovely experience would definitely return....and fabulous cake!

Visited The Terrace in Craven Court for lunch, decided on the all day breakfast. Good tasty food and plenty of it, I decided on the small option which was more than enough, and a latte. Both the food and latte were hot, very tasty, and well presented. Staff courteous and efficient. The surroundings are pleasant and clean. Will definitely go back.

Come for breakfast this morning had a look around Skipton to see where to eat found a nice tea room had a full English very nice food and good friendly staff and a good price would recommend this place to come and it has a lot of seating too so your not struggling to find anywhere to sit very nice place please come and see for yourself

This is a nice little place with really friendly staff and a simple, relaxed atmosphere. The menu is varied with plenty of options for just about everyone.

Visited with friends and loved the afternoon tea ! best homemade scones I’ve ever had! Really pleasant service and we will definitely return.

My husband and I decided to have late morning treat rather than a full lunch. We found the Terrace Tea Room warm, very clean, and offering just what we wanted. The waiting on staff were very polite and engaging and the time taken to present the food was just as I expected. I liked the fact the cafe didn't have loud background music and that the tables were nicely spaced so you weren't sitting on top of your neighbours and able to listen into their conversations. Wouldn't hesitate to return. Lovely experience.

Always great food. Even when busy we have always found a table available. The staff have always been friendly and welcoming.

Best poached eggs ever as part of a most welcome healthy breakfast with toms, beans, bacon and granary bread. Warm welcome and superb coffee served piping hot. Attentive service with a welcome made to ourselves and our dog. Brilliant start to the day!

Visited on Christmas Eve, extremely understaffed and no apologies for or understanding of the dissapointment this can cause. Wasn’t too busy in the cafe at this point. Unprofessional staff, dirty tables, very slow service and average food.

Quite busy today but the owners were aware it was the xmas market. I ordered cheese toasty and chips with a diet.coke. the presentation was fit for a dog but it tasted ok. The waitress brought the diet coke .. £2.25 the coke can said 69p..

Popped in for a quick lunch. Limited menu, but gammon bap, scotch broth and pigs in blankets were all good and hearty. Great double-cooked chips with all. Prompt and efficient service. Difficult to fault.

Excellent place to eat, very friendly and clean. We came for a family meal. The waitress with blonde hair that served us were very professional, polite and organised. Very attentive to my allergies. The kids meals were a good size, with a piece of fruit and cucumber on the side. The adult meals very well presented, delicious hot food thank you to the chefs. All freshly cooked. The drinks very prompt to the table too. A great selection of food to choose. For desert plenty of fresh cakes, scones and ice cream to choose from. Thank you to Mike the owner for making us feel very welcome and having a laugh with us. We were very happy with our visit. Will come again. They have a little children corner with children kitchen and few other toys too. Once again thank you. See you soon.

Beautiful and clean place to eat. The staff are very helpful and attentive. The food is excellent, the pate's to die for. Will definitely be recommending to friends. As it's only a short distance from my home I will be Calling again very soon 😀
