It’s a family thing…..

Baltzersen’s is owned by Paul and Katie Rawlinson who live in Harrogate with their 2 boys Seth and Toby.

The cafe is named after Paul’s Norwegian grandma Liv Baltzersen and that Scandinavian heritage can be seen in the design of the space and the menu we offer.

You can watch what feels like ancient footage of Paul talking about how the business started back in August 2013.

Our bakery Bakeri Baltzersen opened in March 2020 as the UK entered lockdown and began baking for home deliveries. Since then we have opened shops in Harrogate and Wetherby and supply over 100 wholesale partners throughout Yorkshire.

Manager - Jess Falgowski

Jess is the only surviving member of the original cafe team that opened with us in 2012. She’s been running things out on the floor pretty much ever since.
