Sad news as The Lee Café announces it will close forever this autumn

By Yay Cork October 1, 2025

Customers will miss the lovely vibes and the Cajun chicken toasties.

The team behind The Lee Café on Lee Road has announced the coffee spot will close forever in a few weeks time.

“After two wonderful years, we have some very difficult news to share — our café will be closing. This decision wasn’t easy, but as many of you know, running a small business isn’t always simple or sustainable.” they shared on social media.

“From day one, this little place has been more than just a café. It’s been a cosy corner filled with laughter, familiar faces, wagging tails, and the most beautiful views. We are so grateful for every single person who stopped by — whether it was once in a while, or almost every single day. You kept our doors open and our hearts full.

“We will truly miss this space, but even more than that, we will miss you — our community who made it feel like home. Thank you for being part of our journey.

The venue, which boasts two decked seating areas looking over the river Lee, was a popular spot for dog-walkers and also hosted regular charity events and a night market.

The Lee Café will remain open for another month or so, closing at the end of October or the beginning of November.

“We’d love to see you in these last weeks and share a few more memories together before we say goodbye.” they added.
