Three Little Birds bakery has announced it is opening a new branch on The Grove in Ilkley.
The Keighley bakery, which has been running since 2015, opened their Keighley shop selling cupcakes, macarons, brownies and other desserts in 2023, and also baked bespoke wedding and celebration cakes for customers near and far.
The next step in their journey is to expand, and they’ve secured new premises on The Grove in Ilkley town centre with a new shop due to open in July 2026.
Rebecca Severs, owner of Three Little Birds says:
“We’re incredibly grateful to our loyal customer base for the success our shop has seen in Keighley. It’s the right time to expand, and Ilkley was the logical choice! We’re so excited to meet our Ilkley customers and fellow businesses.
“Keighley will remain our flagship shop. Most of our baking will still take place in Keighley; it’s our hometown and we’ll proudly tell people that our cakes are made in Keighley.”
Debbie Henson, baker and decorator at Three Little Birds, said:
“Opening a second bakery is something we’ve dreamed about for a long time, and we’re so excited it’s now a reality.
“Our new Ilkley bakery will be serving our delicious bakes, cakes and macarons - every item is made with the same care and creativity that got us here in the first place. We can’t wait to welcome even more people in to enjoy everything we love baking every day.”
The new bakery will have a counter very similar to the one in their Keighley shop, selling freshly baked cupcakes, macarons, slices and hot drinks six days a week. The existing website and online ordering will remain the same.
In Ilkley there will also be a dedicated area for wedding and celebration cake consultations to take place.
Rebecca adds:
“I’m looking forward to joining the already thriving community of small businesses in Ilkley. We’ll be posting on our social media channels showing updates on the refurbishment of the space – we’ve got some exciting plans. Our Keighley shop will remain open as normal during this time so there won’t be any interruptions to getting your TLBB fix!”
The new shop on The Grove is due to open its doors in mid-July 2026, and the opening hours will be 9.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 9.30am to 3.30pm Saturday, with the additional bonus of opening on Bank Holidays.
