The site adjoined to Harvey Nichols has served thirsty shoppers for three years.
If you’ve ever needed a pick me up whilst browsing the Victoria Quarter in the city centre, then you’ve most likely stopped by Rabbit Hole Coffee.
The striking blue and pink pop-up opened in 2022 and has been a popular spot for a light bite to eat alongside a great cup of coffee ever since.
Sadly, they have now announced their closure declaring their last day of service will be Sunday 12 January 2025.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Rabbit Hole Coffee said: “Well, what was meant to be a 3 month pop up celebrating local suppliers and cheeky Leeds baristas in the middle of Leeds poshest place to shop turned into 3 whole years!!
“Its now time for us to say goodbye. Our last day at Harvey Nichols will be 12th January 2025. It’s been a massive rollercoaster of emotions and such an amazing experience. We have been welcomed with open arms by Sally and her team at Harvey Nichols Leeds (the best f**king department store in town!)
“I’ll try sum up, I hated the first year, we tried to deliver too much, failed and it was too posh for me.
“The second year we made some changes and wanted to be more true to our own relaxed style of customer service and it started to work! We were charming middle class people left, right and centre. Started to like the poshness.
“The third year has been truly amazing. I think we nailed something great Yorkshire weirdness in stunning environment and I’ve loved every minute (alright almost every minute) I reckon I’m quite posh myself y’know
“Thank you to everyone who made this happen in the first place but most of all thank you to the amazing people who have worked with us here. Remember that first weekend having to hand write checks and ring through sales at the end? Remember the printer being just out of range of the till and it ruinung our day countless times? Remember when I decided it’d be a good idea to rent the kiosk space right next to us for a f**king fortune? What the flip was I thinking??
“Anyway I’m rambling a bit, thank you to all that came to visit, you’re massively appreciated. Its been a hell of a ride.
We’ve got a couple of announcements coming up in the next week dropping some new locations in the New Year. Come see us over Christmas for lunch and go see the legends upstairs in the Brasserie for tea!!”
Alas, it’s not all doom and gloom as you can still get your hands on a Rabbit Hole Coffee over in Moortown and on the Leeds Beckett Campus.
And if you find yourself in the arcades doing your Christmas shopping over the next few weeks, make sure to stop by and give them a proper farewell.
