End of an era for much-missed Harrogate cafe as 'to let' sign appear at property

‘To let’ signs have gone up at what was one of Harrogate’s most popular independent cafes for decades

Described as ”prominent cafe premises on the edge of Harrogate town centre,” the unit formerly occupied by The Deli Bar Cafe has been empty since early September when the independent business closed after 20 years in business.

Located at 23 Regent Parade, Harrogate, the much-loved cafe fell victim to the tough climate for small traders in today’s challenging economic landscape.

This was despite the best efforts of its heartbroken owner who had tried so hard to stay afloat since taking over the business in early 2024.

“I would have kept the cafe open forever if I could but the costs situation keeps on getting harder," said distraught former Deli Bar cafe owner Jason Evans

Handled by Montpellier Property Consultants, this cafe/retail unit is described as comprising a ground floor cafe accommodation and lower ground floor staff, kitchen and WC facilities.

Boasting a size of approximately 815 sq.ft, no business rates are payable on the property (STS).
