About the Business

VicBrokers is pleased to present this award-winning dual-brand opportunity in the heart of one of Victoria's fastest-growing regional cities. A premium specialty dessert and chocolate cafe operating alongside a nationally recognised online gifting hamper business, all under one roof, one entity and one asking price.
