Chief executive Rami Baitiéh said: "The changes we are announcing are a necessary part of our plans to renew and reinvigorate Morrisons and enable us to focus our investment into the areas customers really value and can play a full part in our growth.
"Morrisons Cafés are rightly famous for their great quality well-priced food, their place in the local community and their appealing mix of traditional favourites alongside exciting new dishes.
"In most locations, the Morrisons Café has a bright future but a minority have specific local challenges and, in those locations, regrettably closure and re-allocation of the space is the only sensible option.
"Market Street is a beacon of differentiation for Morrisons and we remain committed to it. But, as we modernise we are making some necessary changes to the areas of the model which are simply uneconomic.
"In some stores, where we are closing counters or cafés, we plan to work with third parties to provide a relevant specialist offer.
"Although these changes are relatively small in the context of the overall scale of the Morrisons business, we do not take lightly the disruption and uncertainty they will cause to some of our colleagues.
"We will of course take particular care to look after all of them well through the coming changes."
