Sweet news, cake fans! Mama Doreen’s, the popular independent cake emporium, is expanding its little empire with a brand new restaurant in York. Hailing from Harrogate, Mama Doreen’s is much loved for its beautiful cupcakes, creative afternoon teas and incredible celebration cakes.

As well as brunch, lunch and afternoon tea, there’ll be seasonal variations to look forward to, including a Winter Wonderland afternoon tea (available from November to December). The new restaurant will open in November 2023 at Vangarde, in the former Frankie and Benny’s restaurant. Delicious.
