Afternoon Tea in Leeds

Just Grand! Vintage Tearoom, Grand Arcade, 8-9 Grand Arcade, New Briggate, Leeds, LS1 6PG - Visit now

As made obvious by the name, this is all about the traditional British afternoon tea, suitably based in the Victorian Grand Arcade. If petticoats and home-baking are your bag, this is the place for you.

Sky Lounge, Doubletree Hilton Hotel, Granary Wharf, Leeds, LS1 4BR - Visit now

One of the more glamorous options for afternoon tea, the 13th floor Sky Lounge offers stunning views over the Leeds skyline. If you fancy getting a bit squiffy, bottomless Prosecco is also an option, albeit a somewhat reckless one.

Patisserie Valerie, 8 St Paul's St, Leeds, LS1 2LE - Visit now

It might be a chain patisserie but they sure know how to make the fanciest of pastries. Chow down on some luxury cake here while enjoying a quality brew.

Harewood House, Sandy Gate,, Harewood, Leeds, LS17 9LE - Visit now

If you’re feeling regal, sample the afternoon tea on offer at Harewood House’s south-facing terrace. High-end sandwiches and cakes are the name of the game, in wonderful Georgian-era surroundings.

Oranaise, 1 The Crescent, Leeds, LS6 2NW - Visit now

And lastly, how about something a little different? Oranaise is a North African cafe with a smart range of Moroccan and Algerian teas (we recommend the iced mint tea) and freshly-made cakes and baklava. Give the Union Jack a rest, and give this delightful place a whirl.
