Number Thirteen Coffee House & Cakery - a retro-inspired, eco-conscious coffee shop in Knaresborough, is set to open a second, larger store.

Number Thirteen opened in January 2018 when operator Sarah Ward took over a small vacant shop unit on Castlegate.

Five years on, Number Thirteen is set to open a second, larger premises on the first floor space above Donkey’s Years Antiques on Silver Street. The new space will have all the hallmarks of Number Thirteen’s signature retro styling, but will be more of a social space, with room for larger groups.

Ms Ward said:

“It’s very exciting to be opening a second shop in Knaresborough. The town has such a strong, friendly business community and our customers are so loyal and supportive. I just wanted to be able to give them all something to be proud of.

"Each shop will have its own identity but will work in harmony with each other too. We saw little point creating something that was exactly the same, just made bigger, and instead we’ve kept all of the best bits and built on them, trying out new things that we otherwise didn’t have the space to do in our Castlegate shop. ”

Number Thirteen on Silver Street will be opening on April 1 to coincide with the start of the school holidays.
