Open six days a week, Monday to Saturday from an early start of 7am until 6pm, The Secret Bakery – railway version - offers the same range of sandwiches, cakes and drinks this much-loved coffee shop is known for.

The owners say they are “overwhelmed with the results” of a thorough refurbishment of the vacant unit at Harrogate railway station – and customers and passengers seem to be happy, too.
