Business details

Listing # 5530664|Listed on 2 July

Long-established licensed cafe with strong systems and management in place.

Here is the chance to acquire a well-established licensed cafe with a long and successful trading history. This respected hospitality business has built a loyal repeat customer base and a strong reputation for quality food, great coffee and reliable service.

Offered as a fully staffed going concern with an experienced manager in place, the business is well set up for a smooth transition. A new owner can step straight into an established, systemised operation from settlement.

Key Features

  • Long-established hospitality business with strong repeat custom
  • Consistent revenue and strong weekly trading
  • Proven profitability with an attractive rent-to-turnover ratio
  • Experienced manager and team in place
  • Secure five-year lease commenced in 2026, with a further five-year right of renewal
  • Licensed premises with scope to grow evening trade, private functions and events
  • Well set up and fully equipped, allowing a new owner to trade from day one without major set-up costs

The current owners are looking to downsize and are motivated to find the right purchaser to take this established cafe into its next chapter. With solid foundations already in place, there remains plenty of upside for a hands-on operator or experienced hospitality buyer, including further growth through evening trade, functions, events, catering or targeted marketing.

Further details, including financial information and the business identity, are available only to qualified purchasers following completion of a confidentiality agreement.
