THE OPPORTUNITY
An earthy, much-loved neighbourhood café of approximately 11 years’ standing — a genuine local jewel on a popular café strip in one of Adelaide’s leafy eastern suburbs, just minutes from the CBD. A fiercely loyal following, a strong online reputation, and a catchment of schools, kindergartens and local businesses right on the doorstep.
The vendor no longer works in the business day-to-day, and has priced it to sell — for the operator who will make it perform. This is a walk-in, fully equipped, trading café offered at well below the cost of building an equivalent venue from scratch (Australian café fit-outs typically run $150,000–$200,000+).
KEY FEATURES
✓ Established ~11 years — a proven local name with a consistent, loyal customer base
✓ ~$500,000+ annual sales
✓ Genuine work-life balance — daytime hours only, six days, 8am–3pm. No nights. Closed Sundays
✓ Excellent rental — approx. $45,000 p.a. incl GST, with a secure lease plus 5-year option
✓ ~50 seats across indoor and courtyard dining
✓ Runs on as few as 3 staff — trained casual team in place
✓ Strong social following — 8,200+ Facebook followers (92% recommend), ~6,000 Instagram followers, and editorial coverage in a leading café guide
✓ Bustling with opportunity — liquor licence potential, evening trade (proven via successful pop-up dinners), Sunday opening, and ready-made local catering demand
THE NUMBERS
The business is currently owner-supervised, not owner-operated — wages run well above the industry benchmark of 30–35% of sales. For a more hands-on owner who understands café benchmarking, the gap is the opportunity. Full financials, benchmark analysis and Information Memorandum available to qualified buyers under NDA.
THE DEAL
✓ Asking price: $90,000 plus Stock at Valuation
✓ Sale type: Business (asset) sale with transfer of assets — not a share sale
✓ Includes: Full fit-out, equipment, goodwill, brand and social channels
✓ Best suited to: An experienced owner-operator or hospitality couple ready to step in and work the floor
