Cafe For Sale in Surry Hills Sydney NSW

Hidden Gem | Established Since 2006 | Approx. 60 Seats | Outstanding Fit-Out | New Lease Available

A rare opportunity to acquire a long-established and highly regarded cafe positioned in one of Sydney's most tightly held inner-city locations, on the outskirts of the Sydney CBD.

Established since 2006, this business has built a strong reputation and loyal following over many years and is now being offered for sale as the owner looks towards retirement.

Tucked away in a quiet and unique pocket of the inner city, the cafe provides an ideal meeting place and escape from the surrounding hustle and bustle. It attracts a broad mix of local residents, professionals, white-collar and blue-collar workers, together with customers meeting for breakfast, brunch, lunch and quality coffee.

The location is surrounded by a substantial mixture of residential apartments, commercial activity and established inner-city neighbourhoods, while also being moments from open parkland and major transport connections.

The premises offer approximately 97 sqm with an impressive, spacious open-plan layout and seating for approximately 60 customers.

The fit-out is a major feature of the business. The premises are beautifully presented with high ceilings, an open and inviting dining area and a quality commercial kitchen designed to accommodate a substantial cafe operation.

The kitchen and infrastructure include a walk-in cool room, grease trap, commercial ventilation and extraction, together with the equipment and facilities expected of an established high-volume cafe.

The premises are also licensed, providing a purchaser with the opportunity to continue the existing cafe operation while potentially further developing the beverage and food offering, subject to the relevant approvals and licence conditions.

The cafe has developed a reputation for quality cafe meals, breakfasts, lunches and coffee and enjoys a significant online presence with a large number of positive customer reviews.

After approximately two decades of operation, the business benefits from an established customer base and repeat trade rather than relying solely on passing pedestrian traffic. This is a genuine neighbourhood destination where customers know the business and return regularly.

The surrounding area provides an excellent demographic for an established cafe, with a combination of local residents, apartment dwellers, office workers, tradespeople and professionals providing multiple customer markets throughout the day.

The premises also benefit from rear lane access and one car space, an important practical advantage for deliveries, loading and the day-to-day operation of an inner-city hospitality business.
