Description
Lovingly built by the same owner-operators from day one, this charming business has approximately 10 years of history behind it and has grown through genuine passion, personal connection and an incredibly loyal customer following.
Inspired by the charm and character of Italy and Europe, this little gem has been created with exceptional attention to detail, including beautiful porcelain tiles imported directly from Italy, hand-blown light fittings and a marble benchtop.
More than just an espresso bar, this is a business built on love, connection and genuine relationships with its customers, many of whom have been returning for years.
The operation itself is refreshingly simple. There is no complicated menu or large kitchen operation — just quality coffee complemented by a select range of paninis, quiches and quality European-inspired sweets sourced from boutique suppliers.
Operating only five days per week with no weekend trading, the business requires minimal staffing and generates approximately $12,500–$15,000 in weekly revenue, while producing approximately 40kg of coffee per week.
The business also enjoys an enviable lifestyle trading model, closing on public holidays and for approximately three weeks over the Christmas and New Year period.
Rent is approximately $3,984.75 per month including GST and all outgoings, providing an attractive occupancy cost for an established inner-city hospitality business with this level of trade.
An established website with Shopify platform is also included in the sale, providing further opportunity for a new owner to develop the online and retail side of the business.
