Top independent Harrogate cafe's bid for glory in Best Croissant in Britain award
One of Harrogate’s top independent cafes is waiting anxiously to see if it makes the final of The Best Croissant in the UK 2024 competition.
Since it first opened its doors in 2012, Baltzersen’s Scandi-flavoured cafe has been one of the most innovative businesses in the hospitality sector in Harrogate town centre, constantly creating inspiring, high quality menus and seeking to expand.
In 2019, it launched Bakeri Baltzersen, an artisan bakery, as a sister brand to the original cafe located just a few doors further along Oxford Street.
In 2020, at the time of the pandemic, it upped its game in the world of breads and pastries by announcing plans to invest £250,000 in its own bakery at Kettlesing.
Since then, Baltzersen’s has gained a reputation for high quality bespoke cakes and Scandi bakes.
In particular, its handmade Cinnamon Buns, Almond Croissants and Cheese and Chive Swirls have become very popular.
Best of all, Baltzersen’s croissants are famed from being made from scratch and laminated with butter and uses premium French milled flour from Moule Bie.
After entering The Best Croissant Awards, Baltzersen’s owner Paul Rawlinson is waiting to see if his French pastry will be among the 20 finalists set to compete in the grand final at The Savoy in London in September.
He has posted his thanks for all the support he has received for the award attempt.
Progress in the competition rests on public voting online which took place earlier this month.
