Sneak Peek: The new instagrammable, family-friendly Harrogate coffee shop
Aimee and Nino Cutino are no strangers to the Harrogate coffee shop scene as they already own No 35 on Cheltenham Crescent.
But today the couple, who moved from South Africa 11 years ago, opened a new cafe on King's Road called Pink Door Harrogate.
No 35 is primarily Mr Cutino's domain but Pink Door is Ms Cutino's project.
Previously employed in digital marketing, she knew she needed a theme to differentiate the business from being "just another coffee shop" among the multitude that already exist in Harrogate.
The shop's pink door makes it visually distinct but if you think you'll be overwhelmed by pink you're wrong. The design includes subtle pink and floral touches that create a unique space and fit the modern instagrammable world without being overwhelming.
As well as the usual hot drinks menu, the cafe will offer sandwiches, salads and protein shakes.
The set-up allows for space to bring your laptop and sit at the bar by the window, or you can perch on one of the pink couches and enjoy a drink with friends.
Ms Cutino said:
There's plenty of spots to create an insta story.
The next few weeks will be a soft launch before things get fully underway in April.

The shop not only has all the classic hot beverages you would expect but also everything from small sweet treats to classic bacon sandwiches and salad bowls.
The owners are also hoping to tap into the fitness trend by offering protein shakes for anyone popping in after their gym session.
Their statement pale pink cups.
The Cutinos have been working on this project since July last year. They found the site by a stroke of luck — it was initially under contract with another company but when that deal fell through Ms Cutino snapped it up.
The pair are excited to be in a new area of town. King's Road has seen a few new venues open over the past 12 months and a new restaurant and bar called Frog is in the pipeline in the coming months.
