An excellent opportunity to acquire a well-established, owner-operated café business with a proven trading history and consistent profitability. The business has been operating successfully since January 2017 and has built a loyal customer base supported by stable weekly turnover and efficient cost control. It is ideally suited to a hands-on owner-operator or hospitality couple seeking reliable income with lifestyle balance, while also offering future growth potential.
Weekend trading was temporarily paused in April 2022 due to health reasons and successfully resumed in May 2024, reinstating full trading potential and additional upside for the incoming owner.

Financial performance is strong and consistent. Average weekly turnover is approximately $11,000. Weekly expenses include rent of approximately $1,340, wages of approximately $4,500, cost of goods sold of approximately $3,520 representing around 32 per cent, and miscellaneous expenses of approximately $500. This results in a weekly net profit of approximately $1,150 and an annual net profit of approximately $60,000.
In addition to net profit, the business provides owners' wages totalling approximately $114,000 per annum, delivering total Seller's Discretionary Earnings of approximately $170,000 per annum.
