Customer Review Summary
Coffee is the most frequent draw, described as great quality and delicious, and often paired with cakes such as the chocolate fondant, cinnamon bun, peanut butter brownie and raspberry frangipani. Close behind are the cooked dishes. The full English gets repeated praise for its traditional spread, and the eggs benedict is singled out for its rocket salad. Others name generous egg mayo and beef sandwiches in toasted bread, a huge sausage roll with fries, chicken in mushroom sauce, and a creamy sweet chili king prawn dish. Staff are called friendly and attentive to dietary requests, and a few mention a relaxed, bohemian feel and a dog friendly welcome. The complaints are minor. One reviewer found a waiter kept stressing table service when they were only pointing at a cake, until another staff member took the order, and another said the gluten free bread was not the best. Diners seated on the outside terrace describe feeling so relaxed they ordered another drink to stay longer.

“Cold Bath Deli is a real gem. The coffee and cakes are absolutely delicious, and the relaxed, unhurried European atmosphere makes it feel like you’re on holiday. Sitting so close to the beautiful Valley Gardens only adds to the experience. The food always looks amazing, and you’re always greeted with friendly service and a smile. They’ve made fantastic use of the old fruit and vegetable shop, transforming it into a welcoming space that’s a pleasure to visit. Well worth a visit if you’re in Harrogate!”

“I’ve visited Cold Bath Deli several times before, and the food and service have always been excellent. However, during my visit today for coffee and a pastry, I had a disappointing experience with one of the waiters. I wanted to order a dessert from the display and was simply trying to point out which one I would like. However, the waiter with blonde hair repeatedly told me that they offer table service. I am already aware of this, as I’ve visited many times before. I was only trying to show him the cake I wanted, but he kept insisting on mentioning the table service and didn’t seem interested in listening to what I was saying. Eventually, another member of staff took my order without any issues. I still really enjoy this coffee shop. The food, atmosphere, and overall experience are usually great, and the staff are normally very friendly and welcoming. I hope this waiter can learn to be a little more patient and kind when interacting with customers.”

“I had a wonderful creamy sweet chili king prown here, another amazing meal as always. I think it's one of my favorite cafes in Harrogate. Everything was great. It's the only place I go for coffee, both in-house and for takeaway. You should definitely try their coffee… and finally, they have a beautifully decorated restroom”

“Lovely lunch with family. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. We had the bruschetta and calamari starters with the burger, lamb koftas and pasta for mains. We drove over from Leeds and we'll be back again!”
