Absolute Cravings Cafe - Townsville

Absolute Cravings Café – Stunning Botanical Gardens Café Run By Employees

Nestled at the entrance to the beautiful Palmetum Botanical Gardens in Annandale, Absolute Cravings Café offers a rare opportunity to own a highly profitable café in one of Townsville's most picturesque locations. Established for 12 years and run predominantly by an experienced team of staff, this business combines lifestyle, strong profits and a relaxed tropical atmosphere that customers absolutely love.

Located within Tumbetin Lodge, the café enjoys a peaceful, leafy setting surrounded by nature, attracting a loyal mix of locals, tourists, families, fitness enthusiasts and garden visitors. With seating for approximately 100 diners across indoor dining and a covered outdoor veranda, plus pet-friendly appeal, Absolute Cravings has built a strong reputation as a welcoming destination for breakfast, brunch, coffee and healthy dining.

The current owner works only around 5 hours per week handling administration, stock ordering and payroll, while an experienced team of seniors and juniors manages the day-to-day operations. This makes the business an ideal opportunity for an investor, semi-managed operator or hands-on owner looking to further grow an already thriving operation.

The menu is simple, popular and easy to execute, featuring gourmet toasties, all-day breakfast favourites, fresh salads, smoothies, cold-pressed juices and milkshakes. Signature dishes such as the Smashed Avo Goddess, Big Breakfast Feast and Fritters Benny continue to draw repeat customers, while catering provides additional income opportunities.

Currently trading Tuesday to Sunday from 8am to 2pm only, there is clear potential to expand trading hours, functions, events or catering services to further increase revenue.

With affordable rent, a stunning location, loyal clientele and social media pages boasting over 14,000 followers, this is a standout hospitality business with strong foundations and exciting growth potential.

The business generates an excellent net profit while being run predominantly by employees, with a full-time owner-operator potentially able to earn $170,000 or more annually.
