Potential
Streamlined coffee operation with major untapped upside:
- Full 73sqm cafe space - expand dining capacity plus outdoor seats
- Open 6:30am-1pm only - extend to afternoons and evenings
- No hot food menu - infrastructure exists for full kitchen
- No liquor license - beachfront sunset drinks obvious opportunity
- Card-only - add cash to capture >15% lost trade
- No delivery, catering, online ordering, or active marketing
Extra commercial kitchen equipment available separately
Skills
No specific qualifications required. Ideal buyer has hospitality experience or strong business management skills. The existing team is trained and capable of running day-to-day operations. Barista training and supplier relationships are established and transfer with the business.
Hours
Currently open 7 days, 6:30am - 1:00pm. Significant opportunity to extend trading hours.
Lease
New lease negotiated directly with the vendor, who owns the building. Flexible terms available for the right operator
Employees
6 trained casual staff including a head barista. All on standard award rates. Team runs the business autonomously with minimal owner oversight. Staff are aware of the sale.
Reason for Sale
Owners are consolidating their business operations to another location and want this community asset realised to its full potential by the right long-term operator. They will remain as landlords and are motivated to secure a quality tenant who will invest in the business for the long term.
About the Business
Kingscliff's gateway cafe - the first cafe visitors hit entering Marine Parade village, opposite the Beach Holiday Park, adjacent to bustling retail, directly on the beachfront. Positions like this don't come to market.
A 70sqm fully equipped, dedicated cafe space with La Marzocco setup and quality equipment portfolio - all owned outright with no finance. Six trained staff with a head barista run everything. The owner operates entirely from interstate, less than one hour per week.
The venue carries a 4.9-star Google rating with 400+ reviews - a reputation that transfers with the business. Uses Therefore Coffee, a respected local roaster.
Kingscliff has seen 11.9% population growth, $1.89M median house prices, and a $22M foreshore revitalisation creating a new community hub steps from this door.
The owner also owns the building. A brand new lease negotiated directly with you as part of the sale - on terms that work for both parties. This eliminates the biggest risk in hospitality: lease uncertainty.
Included: Full equipment fit-out (owned outright), stock at valuation, trained staff team, established supplier relationships. Additional commercial kitchen equipment available separately for buyers looking to scale up food operations.
