A Costa drive-thru will open tomorrow near Pannal with new coronavirus safety measures in place.
The coffee company had planned an earlier opening but the pandemic delayed construction works at the Leeds Road site.
It is a key commuting route into Harrogate from the south of the town.
Most of the work now appears to be complete from the outside with a few workers at the Costa drive-thru today putting in the finishing touches.

A Costa Coffee spokesperson told the Stray Ferret:
“The safety of both our team members and customers are our number one priority and ahead of opening we have put in place enhanced safety measures and hygiene procedures that align with government guidelines. We look forward to being an active member of the local community and serving customers a perfectly handcrafted cup of coffee.”
Harrogate Borough Council approved the demolition of a petrol station and shops for the development despite concerns over traffic.
Costa Coffee is taking part in the Eat Out to Help Out scheme so will give a 50% discount on Mondays to Wednesdays throughout August.
This will be the third Costa Coffee in Harrogate with the other two in the town centre and in Starbeck.
