About the Business

A rare chance to take over a stunning, character-rich venue and launch the café/bar everyone's waiting for.
With the recent closure of the iconic Lady Marmalade Café, there's a massive hole in the local market - and this is your golden opportunity to fill it. Located right next door to the brand-new Federal Police HQ and surrounded by major residential and commercial development, this site is crying out for a fresh, all-day café concept or a buzzing café-by-day, bar-by-night venue.

Set inside a beautifully restored inner-city building with seating for around 200 guests, multiple zones, and loads of flexibility - this is a hospitality dream site just waiting to be reimagined.

*Why This Venue Is a Game-Changer:

*Be The Café or BAR Everyone's Talking About:
Very little café competition in the area. The departure of Lady Marmalade has left locals, workers and weekenders without a go-to spot. Step in and take the lead.

*Right Next to Federal Police HQ:
Hundreds of weekday staff on your doorstep - guaranteed foot traffic. Think daily coffees, breakfasts, and takeaway lunches.

*Massive Development - Massive Upside:
The area is exploding with new builds - future-proof your business now, before prices and competition rise.

*200-Person Capacity Across Multiple Zones:
Indoor dining, laneway vibes, outdoor spaces, and private function areas - perfect for brunch service, events, or a chilled wine bar at night.

*Strong Numbers, Low Overheads:
Current trade generates $15K+ weekly with great margins. Add café hours and take it to the next level.

*Solar Panels Installed:
Lower power bills and a greener operation - long-term savings already in place.

*What's Included:
All fixtures, equipment, licences, and IP social Media accounts, recipes -. Just bring your brand and your vision.

*The Market Has a Gap. This Venue Is the Answer.
Whether you're an ambitious start-up, seasoned café operator, or hospitality couple ready to build your dream, this is a first-mover opportunity you don't want to miss.

*Inspections by Appointment Only
*Flip it. Brand it. Launch Brisbane's next local hero.
