This well known, under management cafe patisserie is located in the centre of the bustling, vibrant and densely populated Inner West suburb of Newtown and has its unique products, operation and hours of trade. Systematic updates in processes and equipment have made the operation more efficient, has increased production, reduced labour costs, cost of goods and increased profitability to $4k per week.

The business has no shortage of year-round trade as well as a profitable wholesale and catering business. Everything is made in-house so it provides the cafe with a point of difference in its offering which cannot be replicated. Seats 25, fully licensed (re-application required) and well equipped. Run under management and no experience in baking required as the team in place is very strong and the products made are simple. The owner's involvement is restricted to administration and deliveries (this can be outsourced). Training/handover can be provided. No overnight baking or preparation.

Currently operating seven days a week from 10am until 8pm (Sunday 11am to 6pm). The core business is generated from the cafe which sells a wide variety of sweet and savoury products. The business also has a wholesale and catering revenue line which has the ability to grow over the next few years if the emphasis is applied. A new owner could continue to expand this side of the business as there is strong demand for the products and limited competition. The opportunity also exists to open additional retail shops/kiosks as the production space could be further utilised.

The business has achieved a level of branding that many would be envious of and would make a highly desirable acquisition to any purchaser willing to look at expanding the retail and wholesale presence or just continue on to capture and grow the enormous goodwill and branding that this cafe bakery has already established. The core business is generated from the cafe which sells a wide variety of house-made, ready-to-go sweet and savoury products.

A new owner could continue to expand the wholesale side of the business as there is strong demand for the products and limited competition. The opportunity also exists to open additional retail shops/kiosks as the production space could be further utilised. Finally, opening earlier for the increased coffee and breakfast trade would also increase the turnover.

Run under management by an established team, the business shows great average sales of $29k/week (FY26).
