Leeds coffee shop and bakery Cafe 164 announces closure after more than a decade in city centre

A Leeds cafe has announced it is closing its doors after more than a decade in the city centre.

Cafe 164, in Munro House, Duke Street, will open for the last time on August 26.

The sister cafe of Bakery 164, in Woodhouse Lane, opened in 2011.

Originally a small coffee shop housed in an art gallery, the space evolved over the years to include a bakery, sandwich shop and smaller gallery.
