Family-run stay and play cafe in Harrogate closes with record-breaking special farewell celebration
A much-loved family-run stay and play cafe in Harrogate town centre has closed its doors following a special farewell celebration.
The owners of Brood Coffee House, located on Commercial Street, shared on social media last month that despite being unable to find a buyer, they will be closing the cafe, with their final day of trading on Saturday (November 29).
The café has become a popular spot in the town over the past two and half years, where families can relax over a coffee while children explore and play.
Known for its warm and welcoming atmosphere, it has been more than just a cafe – it’s been a community hub where friendships have flourished.
On Saturday, families gathered for a heartfelt farewell to Brood Coffee House with one final celebration.
The day consisted of timed play sessions, a pay-as-you-feel initiative to get rid of remaining stock, and entertainment from Beyond Imagination Emporium.
In a post on social media, Hannah and Nicky, co-owners of Brood Coffee House, said: “A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our final day of trading – you certainly sent us off with a bang.
“We had our best day on record in just the four hours we were open - safe to say we’re shattered.”
