Baltzersen's in Harrogate has announced its café will close to make way for an expanded bakery shop.
The Baltzersen’s café at 22 Oxford Street in Harrogate will close on 23rd February for a two-week period of refurbishment before reopening with a larger counter displaying breads and pastries made at their bakery production unit.
The popular Scandinavian café will also offer a range of hot and cold sandwiches plus savouries, an expanded food retail section, bread slicing station and 28 seats for guests.
Once the new unit opens their existing bakery shop, located further down the same street in Harrogate town centre, will close.
Co-director Paul Rawlinson said:
“We know that a lot of people will be disappointed to hear that the café is going to be changing.
"There are many guests for whom a visit to Baltzersen’s has become part of their lives, even family traditions during certain times of the year - our own children have never known a Harrogate without it.
"As business owners we have to make responsible choices for everyone that works in our team and we believe that this is the best way forward.”
Co-Director Katie Rawlinson said:
“We’re a small business and trying to operate and communicate two brands with different models just doesn’t make sense anymore.
"The growth of Bakeri Baltzersen over the last 5 years make it the obvious choice to move forward.
"We’re now looking to the future where we can focus all our attention on growing and strengthening a single brand.
"The people of Harrogate have supported us through plenty of challenging times over the years and we hope we can count on that as we start this new chapter for the business.”
