Nestled in the heart of Harrogate, this much-loved, family-run café has been serving the local community with hearty, home-cooked food for over 13 years.
A true institution, it has become the go-to spot for builders, tradespeople, and local businesses who travel from up to 30 miles away and return time and again for its generous portions, warm service, and unbeatable value.
The café operates six mornings a week and is perfectly placed on a busy residential road with high footfall. Inside, the layout is welcoming and practical, offering seating for 20 across six tables with comfortable bench seating, while the back-of-house is fully equipped with high-quality appliances, all included in the sale. Alongside its popular breakfast and lunch menu, the café also offers external catering, offering further growth opportunities for a new buyer.
The café is a low-overhead operation with significant scope for growth under a motivated new owner. Whether by extending opening hours, expanding its catering service or opening hours, or ramping up its marketing efforts, there are plenty of opportunities to increase profit.
This is a rare chance to take over a proven, turnkey business with a loyal customer base, a strong reputation, and a prime location. With the current owners now looking to retire, they are offering a supportive handover to ensure a smooth transition. For someone seeking a rewarding opportunity in one of North Yorkshire’s most desirable towns, this café is not to be missed.
The café’s clientele consists of a mix of repeat customers, including builders, tradespeople, and local businesses, many of whom place large orders, particularly on Fridays and Saturdays.
The back-of-house includes a fully equipped kitchen with high-quality appliances such as a 6-ring gas burner oven, griddle, cold counter, coffee machine, 2 chest freezers, and an upright freezer, all of which are included in the sale.
Currently run by the owner, 2 family members, and a delivery driver, the café is a low-overhead operation that has consistently delivered reliable trade with minimal advertising.
This café offers numerous growth opportunities for an ambitious new owner. Extending opening hours beyond mornings could attract a wider range of customers, including lunch and dinner crowds.
Expanding delivery services to cover weekdays, in addition to Fridays and Saturdays, would provide an immediate boost to revenue.
Marketing the business through social media, local advertising, and partnerships with nearby businesses could further increase visibility and attract new customers.
Additionally, there’s scope to diversify the menu to include healthier options, grab-and-go meals, or catering services for local events and businesses.
