A ROSS-on-Wye café has announced it will close until at least 2027, with owners warning that even a return then is uncertain.
A spokesperson for Maggie’s Place, in High Street, said it was with a “heavy heart” that they had taken the decision to temporarily close the business until at least next year, but added that: "this is a very big maybe". They said a number of factors had influenced the move and that more information would be shared at a later date.
In a message to customers, the spokesperson thanked supporters for their loyalty throughout the café’s time in the town.
“Thank you for every visit, whether a one-off or if you’re one of our regulars, every order, every kind word and every bit of support you have shown us along the way,” they said.
“It is never easy to say goodbye to something you have put so much into, but we will always look back with gratitude for all of the support, love and kindness.
“Thank you for being part of this journey. We will never forget it.”
Maggie’s Place opened in November 2025 in the former Cloisters Restaurant and Wine Bar premises.
The café was launched by Katie and Mark Charters and named in memory of Katie’s late grandmother, Margaret, who died in 2024.
The business offered traditionally brewed coffee using beans supplied by Ross-on-Wye’s James’ Gourmet Coffee, alongside Assam and speciality teas, locally sourced cold drinks and a range of artisan chocolate products.
The owners had previously said they wanted the café to offer customers a “blast from the past”, serving coffee brewed without the use of machines.
