A MUCH-LOVED York cafe and patisserie is expanding.
Oleria Patisserie, which opened in Bootham opposite the pedestrian entrance to Bootham School several years ago, has become a firm favourite with locals who were dismayed to see it had shut up shop temporarily, only for it to reopen and also expand into to bigger premises at 78-80 Gillygate - the former home of Tarts and Titbits.
The patisserie, which sells treats, including biscuits and pastries in its shop and cafe plans to open a new delicatessen selling a wide range of vegetarian and vegan dishes.
A sign in the window says the new cafe will be offering customers a trip back in time to the food of the ancient Greeks with 'an introduction to the diet of the Minoan civilisation'.
The Minoan civilization was a Bronze Age Aegean civilization on the island of Crete ruled by the legendary King Minos.
