Lancaster's famous coffee roasters have announced the closure of their Manchester cafe.
Atkinsons said they had made the "tough decision" to shut their outlet at the Mackie Mayor market in the city's Northern Quarter.
The Manchester cafe opened in 2017 as Atkinsons' first venture outside Lancaster in its 180-year history.
A statement posted by Atkinsons on their social media said: "Today we bring you the sad news that we have made the tough decision to close our Manchester cafe at the Mackie Mayor.
"We would like to thank all our customers who have supported us over the years and amazing baristas who have all done us proud in what has been Atkinsons first venture outside of Lancaster in 180 years.
"In 2017 we opened at the Mackie as a test bed to showcase world class coffee on cutting edge equipment, from SP9s to Nitro. We’ve roasted our own on our restored 1919 Uno roaster and delved into the cocktail world with our coffee and tea cocktails.
"We’ve been lucky to be a part of the Manchester coffee community, hosting Aeropress Championship, Machines launches and latte art throw downs.
"Now, turning our attention to our Lancaster locations, this will be our last week trading at the Mackie.
"For those of you who only know us in Manchester do come and visit us in Lancaster to see our amazing portfolio of cafés in iconic buildings and the fabulous heritage of the shop and eco roastery - you will receive a warm Lancastrian welcome."

J Atkinson & Co is a speciality coffee roasters and tea merchants dedicated to sourcing, roasting and brewing some of the highest quality coffees from around the world since 1837.
Visitors come from far and wide to their famous coffee roasting shop on China Street in Lancaster (pictured above).
They also have cafes inside the Lancaster Castle courtyard, at The Music Room in Sun Square and at The Hall on China Street.
