Reason for Sale
The current “no hands on” owner is looking to sell Sweet Tooth Cafe as a walk-in-walk-out turnkey solution. The owner's long-term plans have changed from relocating from Newcastle and semi-retiring into the cafe as an owner-operator due to an unforeseen spinal injury sustained in November 2025 and potential relocation back to familiy in QLD.
About the Business
Sweet Tooth Cafe presents an immediate impression of high class quality — a place of genuine country warmth where pastries and beverages can be enjoyed either as beautifully packaged takeaway or in our covered outdoor dining area, where the sounds and scents of the ocean create a relaxed coastal atmosphere.
This is not a cheap, mass produced fast food outlet. You won’t find $1 soft serves or $2 cheeseburgers here. Instead, you’ll be greeted by warm, welcoming staff who place the customer at the centre of everything we do. Quality food takes time, and our offerings are freshly prepared and thoughtfully presented. Our well lit display fridges showcase an irresistible selection of cakes, pastries, tarts, slices and sandwiches to satisfy every craving. Not to mention our hot food selections of breakfasts, simple burgers and hot chips.
This is a wonderful opportunity to own a Café in the busy & vibrant shopping centre located in the heart of Batemans Bay. The Village Centre Batemans Bay is an outdoor covered mall with over 40 stores including Coles and Aldi supermarkets, Kmart, various fast-food eateries, fashion & jewellery, health & beauty and a laundromat. The centre also provides undercover parking and a playground for the kids.
The business presents a great opportunity for an ‘owner-operator’ make it their own and build on a well-established local customer base.
The business is currently managed by a full-time manager supported by a number of senior and junior casuals.

History
The original site of Sweet Tooth Cafe was once a Michel's Patisserie.
Local business owner-operators relocated their own waterfront ice-creamery and desert bar business operation to the current Village Centre site and established trading Sweet Tooth Cafe with more of an American fast food theme in addtyion to selling coffee and ice-cream.
The current owner purchased Sweet Tooth Cafe in May 2023 and in consultation with the locals, saw the need to revamp the site as cafe to better serve local and holiday maker needs. Here we are today...
