Harrogate donut cafe faces uncertain future after vandals attack
Doe Bakehouse in Harrogate is to close its cafe for the foreseeable and run a pre-order only service after it was targeted by vandals again last night.
The cafe, on Bower Street, was left with mud and concrete in its outdoor seating area after it was trashed overnight.
The owner, Evie Jackson, posted on Facebook today to tell customers they had been forced to close after becoming a "frequent target".
She said the shop will now serve as a base for customers to collect their online pre-orders every Saturday, starting next week. Talking to the Stray Ferret she said:
Previously, the shop has had its door smashed and often has litter thrown into the seating area. The incident is now being dealt with by the police.
The Harrogate shop is one of four in the sweet treats chain. Others are based in York and Clitheroe, Lancashire.
