This much-loved, family-run café has been a cornerstone of the local community for over 13 years.
Situated in a bustling area with high footfall, the café caters primarily to builders, tradespeople, and local businesses such as car garages, builders’ merchants, and Harrogate Spa. Known for its generous portions, friendly service, and excellent value, the café has developed a loyal and repeat customer base.
The business operates 6 mornings a week, offering breakfasts and lunches, and features a 20-seater dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, and an inviting, no-fuss décor. With a reputation for reliability and quality, this café is a turnkey investment for a motivated new owner.
With its prime location, loyal customer base, and fully operational setup, this café is perfectly positioned for growth. The current owners are willing to provide a 1-2 week handover to ensure a seamless transition.
Opened in 2012, the café has become a reliable go-to spot for hearty breakfasts and lunches in the local community. The interior layout is practical and well-organised, featuring a 20-seater dining area with 6 tables and black chairs. Comfortable benches, some with built-in storage, line one side of the café. The back-of-house includes a fully equipped kitchen with high-quality appliances such as a 6-ring gas burner oven, griddle, cold counter, coffee machine, 2 chest freezers, and an upright freezer, all of which are included in the sale.
The café’s clientele consists of a mix of repeat customers, including builders, tradespeople, and local businesses, many of whom place large orders, particularly on Fridays and Saturdays.
Currently run by the owner, 2 family members, and a delivery driver, the café is a low-overhead operation that has consistently delivered reliable trade with minimal advertising.
This café offers numerous growth opportunities for an ambitious new owner. Extending opening hours beyond mornings could attract a wider range of customers, including lunch and dinner crowds.
Expanding delivery services to cover weekdays, in addition to Fridays and Saturdays, would provide an immediate boost to revenue.
Marketing the business through social media, local advertising, and partnerships with nearby businesses could further increase visibility and attract new customers.
Additionally, there’s scope to diversify the menu to include healthier options, grab-and-go meals, or catering services for local events and businesses.
