"Mind blown... best of luck", posted one resident in the Ulster Eateries Unfiltered Facebook page. "Super surprised", said another. Here's what the café had to say.

Speculation Behind Love Bites Cafe's Ownership Change
"I knew taking the coconut carrot French toast off the menu was a bad decision" (possibly) joked one commenter. "Ramsay curse", added another. "Or maybe we got on the show and are selling because I am co owner and have had 25 surgeries and gets infusions every week. People who know me, know I had no choice and would appreciate you all being kind thanks!", responded the official Love Bites Café Facebook page.

We have a huge surprise for all of you! Unfortunately before we reveal this announcement we will be changing things up! Don’t worry we will still be open for brunch but while we are planning all the new things to come.
