Harrogate's To-Do List

Things to do in Harrogate this week

May 12, 2025

Welcome back to the HGATE Newsletter!

AAA Vinyl Coffee Bar

If you're looking for great coffee and even better vibes, AAA in Harrogate is the place to be. With a mission to bring music to everyone, this unique café blends the best of both worlds: coffee house by day, Hi-Fi jukebox by night—all in the name of musical democracy.

At the heart of AAA is Taylor, their custom-built jukebox and sound system that lets everyone add a song to the playlist. With over 8,000 song requests from 5,000 customers in just the last year, no two visits are ever the same. Whether you're discovering new music or hearing old favourites, AAA is about connection, community, and the simple joy of shared sound.

And while the music is always flowing, so is the coffee. They offer a fantastic coffee subscription—10 coffees a week for just £10.99—making it an easy choice for your daily caffeine fix.

So whether you're stopping by for a brew, soaking up the tunes, or both, AAA is all about bringing people together—one song (and one coffee) at a time.
