A café and bakery in Harrogate has been listed for sale.

The Secret Bakery on Knaresborough Road has been listed with a guide price of £135,000 plus stock at valuation (SAV).

It’s being marketed by Alan J Picken with the premises available on a leasehold basis.

It's described as a "dog-friendly artisan café known for its fresh pastries, cakes and locally sourced coffee."

The Secret Bakery is currently open seven days a week, offering breakfast and lunch menus, hot and cold drinks, takeaway services and catering options.

Owners have reportedly decided to sell in order to focus on other ventures.

The listing says that the business generates around £30,000 in monthly revenue, with “excellent profits achieved.”

The Rightmove listing reads:

“Since establishing the business, our client has spared neither time, effort or expense transforming the premises to their high exacting standards, renovating the premises with modern décor, fixtures and fittings.

“The business attracts a regular local clientele and by virtue of its commanding trading position also benefits from the bustling passing trade.

“There's huge scope to expand/push catering options to increase sales and maximise profits.”

The Secret Bakery previously operated a pop-up café at Harrogate Railway Station, however it stopped operating in 2023.
