One of the Northern Quarter's most iconic coffee and tea shops has announced it will close this week - leaving devoted customers in shock. North Tea Power is described as "one of the OGs of the NQ" - but has announced that after 13 years it will close for good on Sunday.
The Tib Street cafe is famous for its handcrafted coffee, loose leaf tea and handmade sandwiches and cakes. But bosses say they have had to make some "tough decisions" in announcing the closure.
Friends and fans have flooded their Instagram post with support after the announcement. The Northern Quarter venue has won plenty of acclaim over the years, including Manchester Food and Drink Festival awards, and a mention in the New York Times as one of the best places for coffee in Manchester.
