Our Story
To Coffee?
With a female-owned business focus, Laura Lane was looking for someone to complement her new venture by opening a café in the building, to create coffee and sweet treats for clients and customers.
This was a curveball for me!
I had recently converted a separate kitchen at home to cater for Enchanted Pantry, however opening a coffee shop had never been on the agenda!
Family Affair
But the opportunity to work alongside other like-minded businesses in the most amazing pink-themed building was just too good to say no to!
And so, with a lot of work to do, my mum, Diane, and step-dad, Rob, were brought on board - and Ruffles began to take shape!
Local Love
With three short months from saying 'Yes!' to opening day, we've worked hard to focus on elements that are true to us here at Ruffles.
We want to create a beautiful escape for you. Somewhere lovely and welcoming for you to enjoy a light lunch, hot coffee & sweet treat, and support other well-loved local businesses along the way.
A Slice of Heaven
From beautiful Carrara Coffee, hand-roasted just a mile up the road, to our delicious daily cake menu, we want to present the best that Harborough has to offer!
Or perhaps you'd like to join us for Afternoon Tea or a Private Party? We love to host something out of the ordinary for you here at Ruffles!
Please get in touch if we can help.
Join Us Soon
So from treasured memories of making marzipan fruits with my Nan at Christmas, to starting Enchanted Pantry as a way of balancing becoming a new mum with creating something I loved, and now owning a pretty pink café alongside my family and best friend - you can never be sure where life is taking you! But it's wonderful to do the things you love along the way.
I hope that you can join us for a slice of something lovely soon.
