    A Ripon coffee shop that continued to serve customers during the temporary coronavirus lockdown, by making bakery products for collection and home delivery, has earned accolades and won a Tripadvisor Award.

    Two cafes in Harrogate and Ripon have earned a coronavirus lockdown boost with new accolades and a Tripadvisor Award.

    Caffe Tempo was started by Tina Whincup and her husband Mike, 21 years ago with a mobile unit on Ripon Market  - just a matter of yards away from its current home, The Arcade, where the Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice award will be on display.

    Tina, told the Stray Ferret:

    "It has been a difficult year and I was determined that I wasn't going to let the business we have built up over more than 20 years disappear because of coronavirus."


    The long lockdown days, when customers were not allowed to take their usual seats inside or out, saw early morning starts and late finishes, as Tina turned Caffe Tempo into an order and collect service.

    She made brownies, scones, cakes, pastries and other bakery goods, which could be pre-ordered and then left outside her shop door for collection.

    This was supplemented by a local home delivery service for customers in self-isolation.

    After the challenging days caused by covid-19, the Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Award is a cherry on the cake. It is based on customer comments and the number of top ratings that businesses receive.
