Iconic Licenced Cafe Brisbane 30kg+Coffee $18k+ Weekly

$385,000 Plus SAV

Description

Rarely does a hospitality asset with this much history and statistical strength hit the market. For over 20 years, this café has served as the heartbeat of its community, perfectly positioned between major hospitals, elite private schools and a high-density professional hub.

The Performance Highlights:
– Coffee Volume: A consistent 30kg+ per week (High-margin and loyal morning trade).
– Revenue: Solid $18,000 per week average turnover with room to grow.
– Low Overhead: Competitive rent at only $1,011 per week—an incredible ratio for a high-turnover Brisbane site.
– Strong local support: including a fully booked locals night once a month.
– Fully licenced: Option to expand in to night trade to increase revenue.

The Location & Venue:
Situated on a high-visibility site just minutes from the CBD, the café captures a diverse mix of weekday hospital staff/office commuters and a devoted weekend brunch local crowd. The premises features a charming 55sqm interior fitting 20 customers complemented by larger outdoor seating garden courtyard seating 30 customers. This institution is easily accessible with ample street parking.

Growth Opportunities:
While currently highly profitable, a savvy operator could instantly scale revenue by:
1. Extending Trading Hours: Introducing afternoon trade or a “Wine Bar” evening concept.
2. Activating the Courtyard: Utilizing the rear space for private functions, events or pop-up night trade.
3. Catering Expansion: Leveraging the proximity to major hospitals and schools for high-volume corporate catering.

This is not just a café; it’s a Brisbane landmark. With a strong lease in place and a reliable team of 10 staff (including a full-time chef), this is the ideal acquisition for a seasoned operator or an energetic newcomer looking for a proven profitable, high-cash-flow business.
