Joe's was established in 2013 in Arnotts, just inside the Abbey Street entrance to the department store. It became known for serving quality coffee from micro roasters. Other items on the menu at Joe's include cookies, brownies and sandwiches.

The statement continued: "We absolutely loved being part of the specialty coffee world and enjoyed the experience with you immensely. We also got to share some great and unique Joe's pastries, sandwiches and smoothies with you!

"We'd like to thank all our wonderful staff who have worked with Joe's over the years! What an amazing bunch you have been.

"We'd like to thank the amazing Ralf Rüller of The Barn in Berlin - who has taught us so much and become a close friend! Wherever you see coffee from The Barn, get it!"

Finishing the announcement with thanks to the customers who have visited Joe's over the years, they wrote: "You have been a joy to serve and we have loved chatting to you about all things coffee. The Joe's journey has been an amazing one - and we hope it is not quite over yet!"
