A new coffee shop and artisan bakery has opened in Northallerton High Street.
Bean & Bake is based in a shop unit on the corner of Northallerton Town Hall.
It is run by Steve Hewitt whose previously ran the Joiners Coffee Shop and Kitchen at Ingleby Cross, near Northallerton.
Mr Hewitt said it serves high quality coffee and teas, homemade scones, freshly baked pastries, artisan bread, cakes, and traybakes.
Locally produced bacon and sausage in fresh buns, bagels with seasonal fillings are on the menu.
He is working with a number of local businesses including Rounton Coffee Roasters, Acorn Organic Dairy, Thompsons Butchers, Sorcha’s Artisan Bakehouse and Yorvale Ice Cream.
Bean & Bake also stocks a range of retail items, all sourced from small independent producers in Yorkshire.
There is limited seating both inside and outside, where customers can enjoy the bustle of the High Street and the Town Hall Square, with lots more public seating.
Mr Hewitt said: “We have had great feedback from customers since opening. People are enjoying something different and appreciate the provenance of what we are offering.”
Mr Hewitt said he was renting the unit from Northallerton Town Council. Council staff and councillors had been very supportive as they have been with his partner Julie Brass’ business the Yorkshire Scent Co which is based in a unit on the opposite side of the Town Hall.
