Harrys Coffee House
About This Spot
Stepping into Harrys Coffee House is like entering a quietly cherished corner of Retford where time softens and the everyday feels a little gentler. The moment you cross the threshold on Chapelgate, you’re met with a warmth that invites you to settle in — whether you’re seeking a pause from a bustling morning or a calm spot to refresh your afternoon.
This cozy coffee house embraces a subtle charm: thoughtful details like themed cups and plates add personality without pretense, and the gentle hum of conversation blends with the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. There’s a friendly rhythm here, unhurried and comforting, where attentive staff manage to strike the perfect balance between welcoming and unobtrusive.
Harrys feels like a local haven that encourages you to linger over more than just a drink. The menu unfolds naturally as part of the experience, with offerings that speak of care and freshness — from golden scones that tempt with their buttery promise to breakfast options thoughtfully prepared from scratch. It’s the kind of place where waiting for your meal is a small pleasure, a mark of something made with intention rather than speed.
Visitors often find themselves drawn into a relaxed, almost timeless atmosphere. Comfortable spaces invite you to rest your feet and soak in the gentle buzz of a town café that knows its regulars but welcomes newcomers just as warmly. For those with furry friends in tow, the hospitality extends beyond the menu, adding a subtle layer of kindness that rounds out the welcoming mood.
Whether you’re popping in for a carefully crafted coffee, a quiet breakfast, or a moment of restful pause, Harrys Coffee House offers more than a simple stop — it’s a quietly joyful discovery, a place that feels like it’s been waiting just for you.

My friends and I went for a cooked breakfast. We had to wait as it was all cooked fresh but it was delicious. I picked up a cheese scone on the way out as they looked amazing but didn't get round to eating it until 3 days later, it was gorgeous. Can't wait until I go back. Thank you.

A well set out and tasteful cafe and coffee shop. This is a must visit stop any time you visit Retford. Parking is usually OK on the streets opposite but limited to 1 hour, but other parking in the vicinity is possible. Clean and tidy place, with themed plates and cups and nice loos. Give it a try if you are in town.

Friendly welcoming atmosphere. The menu is varied and caters for all tastes at extremely reasonable prices. Happy to swap fillings around for you - just ask. Their cakes and scones are delicious recommend the blueberry scones! They have a huge selection of teas and the coffees are top notch. Lovely relaxing cafe. Dogs are also made welcome with water provided upon request. With 3 steps leading into the seating area wheelchair access would be difficult. On street parking outside on a first come first served basis ( large pay and display car park nearby)
