About the Business

This landmark Melbourne café stands as one of the city’s most recognisable and best-performing hospitality venues, celebrated for its exceptional coffee (40kg p/w), consistent high-volume trade, and long-established reputation. Operating for more than a decade as a true destination venue, it attracts a loyal daily following of locals, professionals, families, and visitors who consider it a must-visit favourite.

With weekly sales consistently around $39,000, a fully systemised under-management structure, and a stunning modern fit-out, this café delivers premium financial performance while maintaining operational ease and reliability. The large dining footprint, beautiful aesthetic, and unbeatable location combine to create a venue that is perpetually in demand — morning, afternoon, and weekend peak. Split is approx 65% food sales with 35% drinks / coffee sales.

Behind the scenes, the business runs on refined workflows, experienced long-term staff, and excellent supplier relationships, resulting in strong margins and consistent profitability. The rent is exceptionally low relative to size, turnover, and position; a rarity in Melbourne’s inner-suburban market, further strengthening the café’s financial profile.

Opportunities remain for a motivated operator to extend trading hours, expand catering, build delivery platforms, or even replicate the model across multiple sites. This is a flagship hospitality asset: robust, reputable, and perfectly suited for an investor, hospitality group, or seasoned operator seeking a premium Melbourne acquisition with genuine long-term security.
