The Wakeman's House - Harrogate

A warm welcome, friendly staff, delicious coffee and cake. Would recommend for hot drinks, but the lunches also looked lovely. Beautiful interior too.

Very historical on the market place with lovely views. Compact and very poular, advised to book we went for a coffee break and was able to sit until the reservation arrived.Food delicious also licensed to sell alcohol. Open during the day not in the evening.

Love coming to Ripon from East Yorkshire, we had done a lovely walk along the River Skell Laver in beautiful sunshine yesterday and were looking for somewhere for lunch and happened on this café in a beautiful building. Greeted by a very friendly lady who found us a table in their back room. Menu was wonderful with plenty to choose from, after a lot of deliberation I choose brie caramelised onion panini it was delicious as was the coffee, all very reasonable priced. Staff are very attentive they are wonderful, don't know why we've been in here before but we will definitely return.

We had the best scones ever this morning at Wakeman’s. They are large and the clotted cream and jam were equally delicious. I think the jam is homemade. Hayley was so accommodating. I had several deviations from the menu and every time I said, “could I have…” she smiled and said, “sure.” The place was packed but service was prompt. This is the oldest building in Ripon, near the car park. Try it. You will like it.

If you want excellent food and service delivered by wonderful people, in a uniquely friendly atmosphere? Then you must visit this little gem in Ripon!! Jenny works so hard for you, it was a real treat for us both.
