Customers flocking back after launch of new Harrogate cafe bistro at a popular spot in town
“Less than two months later, life has returned to the prominent spot off Skipton Road after a new independent cage opened”
A new cafe bistro has opened in Harrogate with a familiar face for customers of a previous independent cafe at the same location.
When the Deli Bar Cafe finally closed down at 23 Regent Parade in High Harrogate in September after a period of upheaval and challenges that appeared to be that.
After being a neighbourhood staple since 2006, the lights went out at the well-known café and sandwich bar and the space lay empty.
Now, less than two months later, life has returned to the prominent spot facing the Devonshire Tap House pub on Skipton Road after the property was sold by Ernest Wilson, a leading commercial estate agent based in Leeds.
The new independent business boasts new owners, a new name and a new approach - but a familiar face as head chef.
Called LeLi’s Deli Bar/Bistro Harrogate, the cafe, which does takeway and sit-down, has been welcoming back customers since its official opening last Friday.
Proud of its tagline "freshly made, locally loved", LeLi’s menu includes home-made delicious breakfasts hot and cold sandwiches, freshly brewed coffee and tempting sweet treats, all at reasonable prices in these days of high costs and inflation.
Among the wide range of tempting offers are a bagel and a drink deal for £5 and a Peri Peru Chicken Wrap and a drink deal for £4.50,
The man behind all those delicious dishes and mouth-watering specials at LeLi’s is Chef Leonardo
Born in Sicily, with an incredible 38 years of experience as a Head Chef, food isn’t just his job, it’s his passion.
Many customers will remember Leonardo from his spell at the old Deli Bar Cafe.
The whole neighbourhood is glad to see life returning to this popular location for a story which has a happy ending.
