Bettys is to close all six of its branches at 5pm tonight because of concerns about the rising number of covid infections.
The closure will also affect its order and collect service as well as takeaways and will be in force until further notice.
Bettys online shop will remain open.
The cafe’s tea rooms were forced to close at the beginning of the third lockdown but management today announced the new measures.
Simon Eyles, Bettys managing director, said:
“Given the severity of the coronavirus pandemic that we are currently witnessing, Bettys has decided to close its Yorkshire branches completely. This means our café tea rooms and now our shops too will be shut until further notice.
“For us all at Bettys, our colleagues, customers and communities are our main priority. We will continue to do what we feel is right to keep people safe and to shoulder our social responsibility as a business.”
