New direction for Baltzersen's cafe
Harrogate town centre café Baltzersen’s has re-opened this week as the rebranded Bakeri Baltzersen Shop and Café.
The bakery shop further down Oxford Street has closed.
The new shop and café has 28 seats at the back of the premises, and a larger front counter displaying breads and pastries fresh from the company’s bakery production facility in Kettlesing.
It offers coffees and hot drinks alongside a range of hot and cold sandwiches and savouries. There is no longer a food menu or table service, with customers ordering at the new front counter, although the ever-popular waffles will still be available at weekends.
There is also an expanded food retail section and a bread slicing station.
Co-director Paul Rawlinson said:
Obviously it’s a big change but we’ve had a positive response, with lots of people interested to see what we have done.

Baltzersen's café opened in 2012 to bring Scandi-inspired food to Harrogate. It was named after Mr Rawlinson’s Norwegian grandmother, Liv Baltzersen. A fine dining restaurant, Norse, followed between 2014 and 2017.
The bakery brand, Bakeri Baltzersen, opened in March 2020, specialising in artisan breads and pastries including sourdough and viennoiserie. It has grown to become the main part of the business, delivering to around 170 wholesale customers across North and West Yorkshire.
Mr Rawlinson added:
The focus now is to further develop the Bakeri Baltzersen Shop and Café brand that we have in Harrogate and Wetherby.
