Hiive opens Harrogate coffee shop to add to relaxation

A businesswoman is hoping her new Harrogate coffee shop will provide a place where people can feel at home.

Founder Sophie Bickerdike opened the new facility at Hiive on 40 Commercial Street, on Tuesday September 23, to add to the site’s offering of yoga, arts and therapy.

“I’ve wanted to create a little space where people can slow down and connect,” said Sophie.

“Sometimes that starts with something as simple as a cup of coffee and a conversation.

“There’s something lovely about finding a place where you can take a breath, enjoy a good coffee and feel at home. “

Sophie stressed that Hiive is open to everyone whether taking a class or just needing a quick brew.

“Hiive has been the home for Go Yoga and now we serve coffee to add to the experience.

“We look for ways for people to come together through yoga, movement and wellbeing.

“The new coffee shop will bring that same warm, welcoming spirit to another part of the day.

“Whether you’re dropping in after a class, meeting a friend or simply taking a moment for yourself, you’ll be welcome.

Hiive will be open to everyone, whether or not they attend classes at the studio.

“It’s a new chapter for The Hiive, and one we can’t wait to share with Harrogate.”
