Situated in one of the most desirable areas in
the East Bay, this cafe would be an ideal
location for a start up business concept, or
an additional location for an existing
operation. There is a strong clientele of
regulars, as evidenced with consistent (and
growing) sales. The premises has excellent
visibility, due to its large glass frontage,
beautiful and tastefully designed interior, and
having the advantage of a prominent corner
location. The interior has the perfect
combination of comfortable design and decor,
functionality, spaciousness and ambiance.
The current operator opened the business
with all new equipment and upgraded the
premises to meet Health Dept. and ADA
codes. Standard and raised chair seating at
well appointed wood tables is arranged
throughout the cafe. The primary service
counter is equipped with a 2-group espresso
machine, two espresso grinders, large
standard coffee air pot brewers and grinder,
smoothie blender, toaster oven, commercial
microwave and toaster, double glass door
under counter fridge, multiple stainless work
tables, POS system, prep sink, grease trap,
hand sink and wire rack shelving. There is a
large storage room off the service area with
a 1-door commercial freezer, a 1- door
commercial refrigerator, ice machine, and
additional wire rack shelving units. There are
customer condiment counters, utility closet
with mop sink and a single ADA restroom. Due
to full time occupational constraints, the
owner has operated the business absentee
since opening, and is now looking for a buyer
who can see the great potential of this
location under a good operator . The location
benefits from an above average economic
community with a mix of professional, retail
and residential customer base. The landlord
agreed earlier this year to reduce the rent as
indicated on the lease from $4,800 to
$3,000. There is great upside to expand and
compliment the current menu of coffees, tea,
pastries, salads and sandwiches expand the
mornings with simple hot breakfast dishes,
poached and steamed eggs, quiches, as well
as more mid day and evening fare soups,
panini, pizza by the slice, beer and wine, and
expanding hours later into the evening.
