Greg, 30, told The Courier: “We have had the most incredible team over the years.
“And there have been so many friends willing to help out at the drop of a hat.
“It has definitely been a family affair. Our staff and regular customers genuinely do feel like part of our extended family.
“It is not a decision we have taken lightly.”
A post on the cafe’s Facebook page said: “As many of you may have heard, our three-year lease is coming to an end.
“With mixed emotions and feelings we have taken the difficult decision not to renew it.
“Our final day of service will be Saturday the 26th of April (three weeks today)
“Clock Tower Café has become more than just a place to grab a coffee.
“It has become a community hub, a meeting point, a home and an escape for so many.
“And it has been filled with stories, friendships and countless laughs along the way.
“As a team we have faced almost every hurdle but together gotten through some difficult times with laughter and support from each other.”
The cafe will remain open as normal until April 26 when the keys are handed over to the new owners.
The post added: “We would also like to wish the new proprietors every success as they take the helm of Clock Tower Café.
“We are sure they will continue to enjoy everyone’s support as they move into this new venture.”
Meanwhile, a councillor has appealed for calm amid fears construction work on Anstruther’s new £7 million lifeboat station will hit trade.
