An exceptional opportunity awaits those seeking to acquire a thriving café and deli nestled in the heart of Finsbury Park, London, a thriving area with students, professionals and residents. Garnering a stellar 4.8* rating on Google out of 116 reviews and an impressive 4.5* on TripAdvisor, this establishment has become a favourite among locals, regulars, and passersby alike, especially capitalising on breakfast and lunchtime trade.
Customers are invited to indulge in a delightful array of freshly baked pastries and explore a diverse deli selection, complemented by a tempting array of canned goods available for purchase which offer an added stream of income for the business.
The inviting and lively interior warmly welcomes customers for both dine-in and take-away options, making it an ideal choice for a satisfying breakfast or a quick lunchtime treat. A diverse selection of hot and cold beverages adds to the overall appeal, with speciality coffee offerings.
Backed by a robust presence on social media with over 2.4K followers on Instagram, a well-established reputation in the affluent Finsbury Park locale, and minimal competition, this venture presents an ideal prospect for individuals aspiring to purchase a profitable café in the London area. The current vendors are also open to offering a transition period for the new owner.
The café and deli is located on one of the main roads at the heart of the local community within Finsbury Park, an affluent and urban area of London.
Although opening directly onto the pavement, there is an outside seating area with six chairs, popular with regulars in summer. Inside is the main café seating area, with 10 covers, and a large display fridge to the left with a patisserie display and coffee machine on the right.
The centre of the shop has one long counter, with the retail area to the left, and staff/serving area to the right. There's plenty of floor-to-ceiling shelving with deli produce and customer toilets are at the rear of the shop on the left, with an office/storeroom to the right.
There's a comprehensive storage area down steps to the lower ground floor. Kitchen facilities are in the back right-hand corner of the ground floor, with a new oven, plus plancha grill, salamander grill, and panini machine. It benefits from air conditioning, front shutters and CCTV.
The deli business, currently co-owned and operated by a couple with a catering background, holds tremendous potential for becoming a highly profitable venture.
One significant avenue for growth lies in extending the deli's operating hours beyond the current 08:00 to 17:00 schedule, as well as considering opening on Mondays to capture more business opportunities. Additionally, exploring the possibilities of outside catering and/or delivery services could further expand their customer base and revenue streams.
Additionally, the recent transition back to a hybrid deli/cafe model following the Covid-related challenges has proven to be a smart move, leading to greater success. With a strong social media presence, word-of-mouth recommendations and great TripAdvisor reviews, the deli is likely to continue attracting more business.
