He had only just launched when he had to close down because of the Covid-19 outbreak but has announced he is opening again on Friday.

It comes after re-opening in Bell Road, off Silver Road, earlier this month as well as keeping his Onley Street shop in the Golden Triangle going.

He is opening from 9am-5pm in the newest shop, in the former Louis deli, which then became Les Garrigues, posting the news on Instagram.

When he left Unthank Road, he tweeted: “Although we are not going far, we will very much miss this little corner of the world and we know many of you will too.”

Kofra was built up from a business concept written in a spare room to a firm with 10 people. The coffee entrepreneur said: “I did not set out to change the world, just a small corner of it. I knew that corner of the world was ready for bright, light roasted coffee and I wanted to share it with them.”
