“We just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who called, visited, sent gifts, cards and messages and shared your good wishes as we close this chapter and begin our retirement.
“We are so grateful for the memories, friendships, laughs and support we’ve received over the years.”
They went on to pay tribute to all who helped make the café such a popular joint in the seaside village.
“Our café has been such a special part of our lives and we will always cherish the people who made it so.
“Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to the next chapter.”
