An Ipswich coffee shop has closed suddenly, almost one year on from its opening day.
Arkana Coffee was opened by partners Ian Dobney and Rodica Geogea in Northgate Street on January 25, 2023.
However, the coffee shop has announced it has closed its doors.
Its final day of trading was Sunday, January 7.
"Dear valued customers and friends. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closure of our beloved Arkana Coffee shop," a statement on social media said.
"We are grateful for the friendships formed, the support and memories shared with you all during the last year.
"Thank you for making our time memorable and for being a part of our community.
"May your days ahead be filled with warmth and wonderful coffees."
