The sign reads: "We are sorry this store is now closed."
It also redirects customers to its website, where city folk can still order the brand's full patisserie menu for home delivery.
The London-founded brand has been in Norwich for more than 10 years.
Established in Frith Street, Soho in 1926 by Belgian-born Esther Van Gyseghem - known as Madame Valerie - and her pastry chef husband Theophile Vermeirsch, Patisserie Valerie was an instant success.
