Iconic Cafe And Restaurant In Central Gold Coast

This long-standing cafe / restaurant / offsite prep and catering kitchen is ready for a new chapter.
An upmarket business and residential suburb away from the tourist areas in one of the regions most busy and affluent suburbs, with constant growth and development.

Consistently taking over $24k a week with only two nights trade! Breakfast on weekends only!
A solid and loyal client base formed over 18 years.

This bullet proof business has traded through the GFC, the Covid pandemic, and appears to be repellent against seasonal trade. We don't see many businesses as consistent as this one.

A unique offering with nearly everything made from scratch, the possibilities are ripe, for an owner operator looking to increase efficiencies within an existing business, or the acumen and appetite to take this one to the next level.

With an offsite prep kitchen nearby, and systems so ingrained you can't go wrong. Utilise the large prep kitchen kitted out with only the best equipment as a ghost kitchen or take away.

A profitable business with the owner working behind the scenes, a committed, fully trained team and succession plans in place will ensure a smooth transition to it's new owners.

A self catering menu is in place with retail products sold through the venue. Expand into full catering and wholesale/retail via the prep kitchen.

Not reliant on tourists, this is a well known cafe and restaurant loved by locals and consistently producing some of the best food on the Gold Coast. A carefully considered and truly delicious product that doesn't require extensive skill or experience to deliver. With cost of goods far lower than your average outlet.
