A MUCH-LOVED York business is expanding into North Yorkshire.

This was in addition to its existing cafe and patisserie in Bootham opposite the pedestrian entrance to Bootham School.
The brand has become a firm favourite with locals and now they plan to open a third outlet in Cheltenham Parade, Harrogate. The lady behind the patisserie, gift shop and speciality grocery store, Leah Williams, said she has long been looking for larger premises and is delighted to be expanding into North Yorkshire. "At Oleria Patisserie we try to find products which are not easily found in north of England," said Leah.
"The idea was to bring to the north the luxury you can find in London. "Also, knowing that many people in York have lived abroad and others are from different cultural backgrounds, we want to give customers the comfort of having something familiar and for others the opportunity to explore something new. "Food brings people together and we are proud of the high quality of products.
"People’s approach since we opened has been incredible, and allowed us to expand Oleria Patisserie giving us the opportunity to forward our knowledge and promote our products at 16, Cheltenham Parade in Harrogate too." Gillygate and Harrogate will both be food focused and although, no date has yet been set for the Harrogate opening, Leah said sh.
