A popular coffee shop in Chelmsford is set to close next month.

Starbucks, located on the corner of High Street and Springfield Road, is currently one of two sites for the chain in the city.

But the company has announced the café will close its doors for good on August 11.

Starbucks confirmed the news this morning (Monday, July 22) stating that the company is always ensuring its cafés are based in "relevant" places for its customers.

One customer, who heard the news following a staff meeting at the store, said: "It'll be sad to see it go, I've been a regular customer for many years."

The closure of the café will leave the High Chelmer store as Chelmsford's only Starbucks.

A spokesperson for Starbucks said: "We regularly review our portfolio to ensure our stores are in places that are relevant for our customers while also maintaining healthy business growth.

"We can confirm that our store on Chelmsford High Street is due to close on August 11.

"We would like to thank our customers for their loyalty over the years and let them know their nearest Starbucks store is at Chelmer Shopping Centre."
