What Isadore Ledner doesn't like about Betty's Cafe Tea Rooms:
Sorry all, but Betty's is over rated and over priced. As other reviewers have said, there are better places in York. When I was a kid in the Afternoon Tea with the Aunts was excruciating!! But don't let me put you off, join the queue and sample the fayre. View all feedback. What Simon S likes about Betty's Cafe Tea Rooms:
Just arrived Betty’s Cafe Tea Rooms York … Top notch, friendly smiling service. Nice piano player for us… We booked a table (highly advised) Definitely recommend to book a table as you are almost certain to join the long line that’s almost always at these world famous tea rooms. Best in the world for afternoon tea. Sandwiches are divine, scones are too so are the cakes! Highly recommended! View all feedback.
