A Mediterranean café has opened on Beulah Street in Harrogate.
Tulip Café has set up in the former Sirius Café site and aims to offer Mediterranean flair serving coffee and scones alongside Turkish tea and sucuklu toast.
The owners of Tulip, Aydan Eski and Karen Ula, decided to set up their business venture in the heart of Harrogate.
Ms Eksi, is originally from Bodrum and Ms Ula has always lived in Harrogate with her husband, Mehmet Ula, owner of Woodlands Car Wash And Valeting.
The site has undergone refurbishments costing approximately £5,000, from painting throughout and new signage to upgrading the kitchen equipment.
Ms Ula previously worked at Rosset High School and said the café is not a huge change as she "loves working and talking to people".
She said:
The café stocks tea from True Tea and its bouquets of Tulips come from Blamey's Florist of Harrogate.
Alongside the local produce the pair are selling traditional Mediterranean souvenirs including rose jam, olive butter and evil eye jewellery.
