Bsale has over 3,000 coffee shops and cafes for sale across all of Australia, so no matter the area you are looking to invest in or your budget, you can most definently find the perfect cafe for you.
Why are Cafes so Popular?
A lot of people thank the migrant boom of the 50's and 60's, with many Italian and Greek migrants making their way to Australia and introducing the coffee Australians know and love today to the market. Aussies take their coffee culture very seriously, so the demand for a good cup of coffee is always there. A perfectly balanced espresso forms the basis of all coffee drinks and what is expected to drive most of the customers and profit margins to the business, with offerings such as baked goods, lunch and breakfast options taking a back seat.
According to www.statista.com, on average, Australians consumed around two kilograms of coffee per person in 2021 and this industry (along with restaurants and take-aways) contributes more than 4.5 billion Australian dollars in gross value added to the Australian economy.
