FOR SALE: C9 Chocolate & Gelato – Well-Loved Dessert Bar in Hawthorn with 5-Bedroom Apartment

Here's your chance to own a thriving dessert business in one of Melbourne's most vibrant and high-traffic suburbs.

C9 Chocolate & Gelato in Hawthorn is a popular spot for locals and visitors, known for its premium, house-made gelato, rich chocolate desserts, gelato cakes, croffles, donuts, and more. The brand has built a loyal following thanks to its commitment to quality, creativity, and customer satisfaction.

This is a fully operational, turnkey business with strong, healthy weekly takings and consistent growth. The shop features a stylish modern fit-out, professional commercial kitchen, gelato production equipment, and everything you need to keep the business running smoothly from day one.

There is a secure 15-year lease (5+5+5) in place, giving you peace of mind for the long term. Rent is only $5,000/month, which is incredibly competitive for this location and size.

A huge bonus is the fully self-contained 5-bedroom apartment upstairs, included in the lease. It features its own entrance, kitchen, bathrooms, and living space. You can live upstairs, house staff, or rent it out separately to generate extra income—a rare and valuable opportunity.

Located in the heart of Hawthorn, one of Melbourne's most desirable suburbs, the business benefits from strong local support, great visibility, and plenty of passing foot traffic from nearby shops, schools, and public transport.

There's also room to grow. The brand is already strong, but there's plenty of potential to expand into catering, online delivery, event packages, wholesale gelato sales, or even franchising if desired.
