 Betty's Tea Rooms by londonlover
We had to wait in line for about 30 minutes for a table in the late afternoon, but it was worth it. If you want to sit on the main floor, make sure you specify that. We ended up on the ground floor (basement), but it was decorated beautifully, so we didn't mind.
The strawberry/meringue sundae (The Betty's Sundae) is fabulous, as are the pastries of the day. There are probably 30 different teas from which to choose, and the three varieties we had were all delicious. Leave a Comment

 Betty's Tea room York by LizD
A visit to Betty’s for afternoon tea is something you should do when visiting York. If for no other reason than to say you’ve been.
No slap it on a plate and help yourself service here. You can order a selection of finely cut sandwiches followed by a selection of delicate cakes to have with your tea. A cake stand is brought to your table and left for you and you help yourself to as few or as many as you like. When you have finished you are just charged for what you have eaten.
Its quite pricey but you pay for the charm of a service offered in by gone days.
My only objection was that the waitress waited by the table while we got our money out to pay instead of coming back after a few minutes. My Great Aunt May would have looked over her glasses and tutted at that I’m afraid!

 Chocolate Heaven by cheekymarieh
The service is fantastic and nothing is too much trouble (even if you want water to accompany your coffee because you like it weak as my friend does).
There is an excellent selection of tea and coffee on offer. These range from the usual Assam andEarl Grey to the more exotic South African Kwazulu Tea and Orange Pekoe.Various coffees are also offered including a decaffinated version.
We usually time our visit around afternoon tea where there are too many cakes to choose from.! Some of my favourites include the Raspberry Tart and the Chocolate Tart. Leave a Comment

The queue was not too long, luckily! Waited only for 5-8 min (22-December).
Waitresses/waiters are very professional and even to us, Japanese, they are really nice and friendly.
My sister had Caesar Salad(8.70GBP) and I had a Sausage dish(8.95GBP). Both delicious!
And bought a nice Christmasy choco Westie and fruit chocolate bars. They are quite expensive, but worth spending money.
Local Yorkshire sausage with delicately cooked veg. Yum!
And I am not sure Mulled Wine is only for Christmas, but it was so good! (3.60GBP/glass) We ordered mulled wine before the dish as it seemed to take a bit of time for the main dishes to be served. I recommend you to order tea/coffee before the main dish. :) Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: York, EnglandDirections: Near Minster.

 NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by DAO
WHY? Why would you want to stand in a queue 2 blocks long on a cold January day just to get into a café? This is the most overrated place in York. And the queues get longer in summer! WHY? Don’t do it. York gets packed (it is a walled city, so not much growth). Why make it worse. You really think the food is that good? Really want to stand out there and find out it’s just average? It’s your holiday. Why spend it in a queue? Loads of places have good food in York without the hassle!
Don't know! Could not get into the place!

 Afternoon Tea by mdchachi
Afternoon tea. The food came on a little rack of plates. A bite of a sandwich, a lovely scone and a Yorkshire curd tart. Plus a choice of several different kinds of tea. Yum!

There are other Betty's in Yorkshire as well, including the first Betty's which opened in 1919 in Harrogate.

Like going back in time to the 1920s, Betty's is how english tearooms used to be. Everything is very dainty - its doilies a gogo! Traditional teas are available and the location is fantastic for peoplewatching - make sure you sit at street level. Not the cheapest but you are paying for the experience as well as the (very good) food.
I has the pikelets which are like squashed crumpets - yummy but a bit buttery! If I go again I will have the afternoon tea - tea, sandwiches, a cream scone and two mini cakes - heaven!
