Scandinavian-inspired eatery Grön Kafe has announced that it has made the “difficult decision” to close its Harrogate branch after two years.
Launched by Masterchef finalist Matt Healy in December 2020, the café on Royal Parade has been shut for a number of weeks.
A sign on the door said it was closed due to electrical issues.
However, today the café announced on social media it would not be reopening.
The post says:
“Multiple factors outside of our control have made it increasingly more difficult to deliver the level of food and service that we expect from Grön and so sadly we are saying goodbye to this location for the foreseeable future.
“We have loved being a part of the wonderful community in Harrogate and it is with a heavy heart that we make this announcement. We wanted to say a huge thank you to our lovely friends and customers in Harrogate and we are sad to be saying goodbye.”
It goes on to remind customers that Grön can still be found at its flagship location in Oakwood, Leeds, as well as at Green Room in Leeds city centre.
Grön Kafe took over the site of Quantro restaurant on Royal Parade on December 4, 2020.
The café served up pescatarian, vegetarian and vegan-friendly dishes.

It launched as the nation came out of full lockdown and the Harrogate district moved into tier two restrictions.
Mr Healey had opened a pop-up at the Cold Bath Clubhouse in June earlier that year.
Following the success of that trial, Grön Kafe then opened its own dedicated site on Royal Parade.
