A prominent cafe in Moseley hit the market after customers learned it was only closing for a “short break.”

Lewis’s, in St Mary’s Row, closed in late July and a sign posted in the cafe window said it would be closed for two weeks to allow staff vacations and train new team members.

However, questions were raised when the venue did not reopen in August as planned.

The popular brunch spot, which garnered dozens of five-star ratings on Trip Advisor, has since been listed for sale along with the remainder of the property’s lease.

The company went into voluntary liquidation on September 3 and its Facebook page is now unavailable.

Lewis’s is on the market for an undisclosed sum – with price on request – and the rent is £ 31,200 a year.

The list reads: “The property is situated in a very important position in the heart of the village of Moseley on the main A435, just south of Birmingham city center.
