New coffee shop to open in Harrogate next week

Wednesday, 25 March 2026 07:13

Seven Districts Coffee is opening on Royal Parade next week.

A new independent coffee shop will open its doors in Harrogate next week, offering free drinks on its first day.

Seven Districts Coffee is set to launch its first Harrogate location on Royal Parade on Good Friday (3rd April), marking the company’s sixth site and its first outside of Lincolnshire.

The independent specialty coffee business says the new shop will create 10 jobs locally as it continues its expansion.

To celebrate the opening, free coffee will be offered to customers throughout launch day.

Founded in 2019, Seven Districts Coffee has built its reputation on sourcing coffee responsibly and roasting it in house, working directly with producers. The company says it also aims to work with local suppliers in Harrogate where possible.

The move into the town holds personal significance for the founders, who have family connections to the area.

Ben Southall, co-founder of Seven Districts Coffee said:

“Harrogate has always been a place we’ve had a connection to, so opening here feels like a natural step for us.

"It’s a town that really values independent businesses and quality, which aligns closely with how we approach coffee.

"We’re excited to open our doors and become part of the community.”

The new café, located close to Valley Gardens, will serve a range of specialty coffees, seasonal drinks and a food menu in a space designed for everyday use.
