Our Story
The Crown & Kettle opened its doors in 2009 with a single ambition: to be the kind of place you never want to leave. No pretension, no rush — just genuinely good food and coffee served by people who care.
We bake everything ourselves each morning in our kitchen on Parliament Street. Our coffee is sourced from two independent roasters, and our seasonal menu changes every few weeks to follow what's best and freshest.
Whether you're after a quiet corner with a flat white and a book, a long weekend brunch with friends, or our signature afternoon tea, you'll find a seat with your name on it.










What People Say
Based on 280+ verified Google reviews. Consistently rated the best café in Harrogate for brunch and afternoon tea.
Read All Reviews"We came for the afternoon tea on a whim and it was simply the nicest hour and a half we'd had all trip. The scones were warm, the sandwiches fresh, and the staff topped up the tea unprompted. We've been back twice since and we're already planning our next visit."
"Best flat white in Harrogate, full stop. I've tried everywhere and nothing comes close. The café itself is beautiful — proper crockery, always spotless, and the background music is just right. A genuinely lovely place to work from on a Monday morning."
"Took my mum here for her birthday — she's gluten intolerant and usually dreads eating out. The staff knew everything about the menu, there was no fuss, and she had a gorgeous GF brownie and a pot of Earl Grey. She's been telling everyone about it. Thank you!"
"The full Crown Breakfast is extraordinary. Proper free-range eggs, sausages that taste like actual pork, sourdough from a local bakery — this is what a full English should be. I visit Harrogate for work twice a month specifically so I can come here on the Friday morning."
