A Glasgow bar known for its tasty bubble tea drinks could close after the lease at the Queen Street business ended earlier - and they have nowhere else to go.
The owners of Tempo Tea Bar have launched a crowdfunding campaign as they ask customers to help them find a new home so they could continue serving delicious beverages.
The business has been running for almost a decade but face having to say goodbye to customers after their landlord ended the lease earlier.

They are hoping to raise enough money to be able to move into a new unit, and have asked Glaswegians for help before their current lease ends in three months.
In their crowdfunding plea, they said: "It's a real shame that we have built an amazing community and a safe space for our customers, it can disappear with just one letter from our landlord.
"Since the pandemic we had to establish other revenue streams which luckily have been a success.
"With all of these challenges, we faced them and dealt with them, never did we think we'd ever close our Glasgow store. However, you can't always prepare or control external factors such as your landlord deciding to end your lease early.
"This was not something we even imagined or thought would happen and we had to decide if moving unit would be the right business decision as moving is expensive!
"After we announced to our community that we were closing our store due to this external factor, we were overwhelmed with the support.
"Fuelled by the kind words of support and many of you mentioning that we should set up a crowdfunder to allow us to still have a physical store, we decided that you're right, we must find another home and safe space for our customers, and here we are, doing just that."
