Grane Coffee and Bakery opens in Harrogate
The newest addition to Harrogate's coffee shop scene opened its doors today.
Grane Coffee and Bakery, located on Station Parade in a unit formerly occupied by The Chocolate Works, serves a range of coffee, tea, baked goods and sandwiches.
Owner Rod Hardman previously told the Stray Ferret it would be “arguably the coolest and most stylish boutique bakery” the town has to offer.
Following a £150,000 refurbishment, Mr Hardman today said he has brought to life the “sleek Scandinavian-style shop” he hoped for, adding:
Grane is Mr Hardman’s first hospitality venture, after previously working in fashion for the likes of Flannels and Hugo Boss.
The shop features a £10,000 coffee machine, which Mr Hardman said was shipped over from Naples, as well as a mural of fashion brands he previously worked with or sold.
When asked why he opened the shop, he said:
A wide range of ingredients and foods are also on offer to buy at Grane.
These include a variety of pastas, including Dolce & Gabbana pasta, Italian sauces, Asian condiments, and sweet treats, such as chocolate and flavoured popcorn.
Mr Hardman, who is originally from Leeds but now lives in Masham, added:
Mr Hardman said the reception to his venture had so far been “unreal”:
Grane Coffee and Bakery is open Tuesday to Sunday.
The coffee shop and store opens at 8am -- with the bakery opening at 9am -- until 5pm.
